You Are a Badass at Making Money

it dammit. I focused all my energy on my desire to work with her and my
belief that she could help me change my life. She not only specialized in
helping women make money, but she walked her talk. At the time, she was
making multiple six figures with her coaching business, but she had once
been so broke she had her electricity turned off and one evening had to turn
away the pizza delivery guy for lack of funds on her credit card—I mean,
this woman turned away a pizza. Talk about having been through it.
What was far more important to me than her fee or my debt or the very
real possibility that if I didn’t pull this off I’d be sharing an address with my
mother, was my mindset. I had gotten to the point in my life when I was so
freaking sick of being broke, of feeling trapped, of knowing I could be
doing so much more with my one and only life that I made the no-nonsense
decision that no matter what, I would seize all opportunities that resonated
with me to learn about money, to make money, and to do what it took to get
rich. So when I met a coach who I felt could help me, instead of looking at
the price tag and my bank account and thinking, Oh well, not exactly a
match made in heaven, maybe I’ll call around and see if anyone’s up for a
beer, I hustled and demanded of myself that I find the money for her seven-
thousand-dollar fee.

This is the critical moment for us all—the moment the Universe places
before you exactly what you need and asks you to rise to the occasion. Are
you going to stick with low-frequency thoughts like: I’m broke, it says it
right there in my bank account. The end. OR will you stretch, raise your
frequency, and find your way to My financial situation is temporary, it’s not
who I am, it’s where I am, money is all around me, I’ma find me some and
make this happen.
What you can and can’t afford is all in your mind.
If I told you to go out and make two thousand dollars in the next twenty-
four hours, if your mindset wasn’t in the right place you might give it a shot
for a few hours and then succumb to thoughts of I can’t because I’m too
clueless/lazy/busy, I tried everything and it didn’t work, there is nothing l
can do, not that’s legal anyway, etc. However, if I chased you down the
street swinging a sock full of nickels over my head threatening to beat you
with it if you didn’t increase your income, you would open yourself up to
possibilities that, before you made the decision that it absolutely had to
happen, you literally could not see (taking out a loan, selling your car,
approaching important, intimidating people for help, etc.). Where there’s a
will there’s a way; we just prefer to pretend there isn’t a way so we don’t
have to take responsibility and do the uncomfortable stuff required to grow.
An excuse is nothing but a challenge that you’ve given your power to.
The big secret to getting rich isn’t so much about brilliant plans or hard
work or good connections or amazing timing as it is about thoughts and
emotions. Our thoughts and emotions catalyze not only our actions, they
also supply all the ingredients for the Cocktail of Creation:
