Quick Easy Money? You Can’t Handle Quick Easy Money!
Cover of A Few Good Men (Special Edition)
Do you remember that scene from a few good men (one of my favorites) when Jack Nicholson looks at Tom Cruise and says, “You want the truth? You want the truth? You can’t handle the truth”? I had a really big realization over the last few months that the reason I am not making quick easy money or achieved the financial success I have dreamed of is because I cannot handle money. I do not mean handle money in the balancing the check book kind of way, I mean getting the big bucks!
I have always worked hard - I put 100% into my business. I have educated myself on the ways to make money and have learnt all about the systems and processes that guarantee big income. I know these systems work, I am part of a few different forums and speak to people regularly that make quick easy money online. So what was I doing wrong? Why were these systems only helping me break even? I was following the same process as everyone else.
When I looked a bit further I realized that I was afraid of money. I was afraid of the consequences of making it big (of getting there and losing it all), of what people might say about me if I became rich (there are always haters) and a whole load of other fears and doubts. These doubts were literally repelling money from my life. This was why when it came to the finishing line I always managed to self sabotage in some way. The great thing about this is I know now all I need to do is change this and the next process I do will bring in the quick easy money!

Did My Childhood Stop Me From Making Quick Easy Money?

Never got into the idea of blaming my parents, I love and admire them and when I thought about making quick easy money they were a source of inspiration. They ran their own business and worked damned hard and I have always really admired them for that.
Like I said, they really inspired me. I have set up my own business and work hard at making quick easy money online. But, unlike my parents, I have not had large amounts of financial success. I get by, but I have never tapped the goldmine. This has frustrated me, so a few months ago started looking into why I was not making money from a different perspective – an internal rather than external view.
I came to the slightly challenging conclusion that my childhood had not actually helped me make big bucks. In fact it has hindered it. The fact that my parents worked so hard all the time has made me fixed on the idea that success only comes with struggle… so what do I do? You guessed it, I struggle. Next, I always heard that business success hinged on outside influences like business models and economic climate… so what do I do? Believe my success is totally reliant on outside factors like the system I am using or the state of the economy.
Don’t get me wrong I am not saying these things do not have an effect, but I realized what is more important is me - my approach to making quick easy money, my beliefs about success. This is why there are still making millions in the so called North American housing collapse. With the right mindset you can make money in any climate.
