Quick Easy Money – Ifs and Buts Can Destroy Your Chances

I never think of myself as being financially stupid or ignorant. I have spent a lot of time and money educating myself on making money. I have attended courses, I read ebooks and I get email updates on all the new systems and techniques to make quick easy money. More than that, I’ve worked damn hard to make money, I’m not one of these people who sit back and expect it all to come to me. So why has it not been working?
After years of employing different systems and trying different approaches I’ve realized that every attempt that did not quite succeed has been me. So as I have never been a quitter I started looking at what it was about me that stopped me from making the money I knew I deserved. Pretty quickly I realized that on paper I took advantage of opportunities and aimed for the sky, in my mind I always applied a lot of ifs and buts.
I’ll give you an example… “I could be rich, if this latest product sells well”, “I could make money from real estate, but the North American market is in crisis at the moment”. Although you could argue both of these statements are true, when I made them I was limiting my ability to make money. My ability to make money was always hinging on something outside me, rather than an unshakable belief that I make me money and that money flow into my experience. I have now joined the “expecting quick easy money to come my way” club. Yes, I know there will be action involved, but now I make sure I do not place limits on money’s ability to make its way to me.
