Learning How to Thrive in a Tough Economic Climate

Do you know more millionaires are created during tough economic climates than at any other time? These individuals did not allow adverse circumstances to control their destiny. You too can learn how to thrive in a tough economic climate.

I was reminded of this by a conversation had with a Post Office worker recently. When I went to the Post Office to collect my post and the man behind the counter said to me:

"How are you, today?"

"Good!" I replied enthusiastically.

What happened next was initially somewhat puzzling.

He sadly shook his head from side to side and turned his hand side to side as well.

"Not so good, eh?"

At this point my face was a picture of consternation. I was standing to his right so didn't have direct eye contact but I gave him a quizzical sideways glance. I also replayed what I said in my mind and how I had said it.

And, just for a split second, I almost doubted myself - maybe I didn't feel so good after all but I kept my mouth shut. After all, he wasn't really listening to what I had to say.

"Life is hard," he continued.

"Life is as hard as you make it," I couldn't help replying but, like I said, he really wasn't listening to me or interested in my opinion.

He went on to talk about the Government, the increase in gas, fuel, electricity, food…and I simply listened. Sometimes, it makes no sense to argue plus I was on a short on time.

Still, here's what I thought. Here in the UK, as in other countries, the Government may make mistakes but I live a life of freedom and that is priceless.

With respect to the dramatic rise in inflation - these things happen and yes it does present new challenges but when faced with new challenges you simply have to find new ways to deal with those challenges.

"Challenges are gifts that force us to search for a new centre of gravity. Don't fight them just find a different way to stand."
Oprah Winfrey

A while back my gas and electricity service providers offered me the option to freeze the unit cost of gas and electricity for a fixed period of time. I signed up to this offer without hesitation. Market prediction can be risky but one didn't have to have a crystal ball or be a financial genius to work out that the cost of gas and electricity was almost certainly going to rise.

Yet, I know many people did not take up this option - something that would have certainly helped to ease the financial strain at this time. People often fail to prepare for the worse even when indicators are staring them in the face.

I admit that the increase to the cost of living is a challenge and I too often remark at how certain basic items have leaped in price. However, that's not where my focus is.

You see, I have no control over the national or global economy. All I can do is control my personal economy. And so that is what I focus on.

People often direct their focus and attention to the wrong things. They focus on what is outside their control. One reason for this is that people do not want to change. They want to continue doing things the same way day in, day out. But the world around them is changing and changing at a rapid pace and those who do not learn how to adapt and surf this wave of change will get wiped out.

There are many people like the man at the Post Office - people who probably spend most of the day moaning about how tough things are to anyone who will listen. Can you imagine how debilitating it must be to be around such negative energy?

Consider instead how much better it could be if this man was thinking of creative ways in which he could earn more money so that no matter how much prices increased he would have the extra income to deal with the price hikes.

"A man with a surplus can control circumstances, but a man without a surplus is controlled by them, and often has no opportunity to exercise judgment."
Harvey S. Firestone

Notice how, for a moment, this man's negativity affected my own personal energy. You have to preserve your energy. If you hang out with negative people then their negative energy will drag you down.

When we ask people how they are many people reply in the negative and when they do so they are reinforcing negative feelings in their body. This is not good for their health or productivity. In the book "How Would Love Respond?" Kurek Ashley suggests asking someone "What's great about your day today?" because this forces someone to look at what positive in their lives and the more we recognise what is positive about our lives and express our gratitude for these gifts and indeed the gift of life itself the more good things will be attracted to us.

Warren Buffett: Rule No. 1 - Never Lose Money

Warren Buffett has two simple rules when it comes to money:

Rule No. 1: Never Lose money.

Rule No. 2: Never forget Rule No. 1.

Well recently, I decided to adopt these rules and this is what happened in short order.

~ My passport was stolen,

~ My credit card was stolen,

~ Cash was stolen from me,

~ I discovered that a company I had been providing a service to was underpaying me, and

~ I discovered that another company that was providing a service was overcharging me.

In other words I was losing money like water draining from a leaky bucket.

The reason why I am sharing this with you is because you may have probably experienced something similar although it may not be related to money. And what I mean is this - often when we set an intention to improve an area of our life the universe will test us. We will probably experience resistance.

I think it is fair to say that I was being sorely tested. Now what happens is that in many cases we become overwhelmed and we give up our intention or goal. Things settle back down to how they were before - well not quite.

You see when we give up an intention or goal that would enable us to grow things can never quite go back to how they were. We start to decline instead. Rot sets in which soon starts to pervade everything we do.

The issues that I outlined above have literally taken hours of my time to resolve and some matters still have not been resolved. Was I frustrated at times? You bet! But I know that by dealing with these issues:

1. I am being taxed mentally because it takes a clear and level head to sort out matters like this,

2. My finances will improve so I will grow in a physical or material sense, and

3. I will also grow spiritually as my energy regarding money becomes clearer and my awareness expands.

So when you set goals or new intentions and suddenly find yourself beset by what appear to be obstacles stand firm and deal with these obstacles. These obstacles are sent to test you and teach you some of your greatest lessons.

Robert Shemin on How to Make Money Work for You

Robert Shemin - How to Make Money Work for You

If you identified with what Robert Shermin said in the video above (click the link above if you cannot see the video) then you may want to check out his latest book (an Amazon bestseller) - "How Come That Idiot's Rich And I'm Not?"

Robert was once described as the "least likely to succeed" yet now he is a multi-millionaire who teaches thousands of individuals each year about wealth creation. He shares the stage with other well-known personal development and wealth experts such as Anthony Robbins, Robert Kiyosaki, Donald Trump, Suze Orman and David Bach.

I was introduced to Robert Shemin by one of my teachers and mentors, Alex Mandossian. Alex is currently doing a virtual book tour with Robert and you can listen to his interview with Robert by clicking the link below:

Like Dr Joe Vitale, Robert Shemin was also once broke. His current multi-millionaire status is proof once again that if your current financial position is not as you would like it then you can reverse your fortunes. Your past does not have to equate to your future.

However, becoming wealthy first starts in the mind and we generally have a lot of negative conditioning to overcome because most people actually have negative thoughts about money. Such as:

~ I can't afford it.
~ I don't deserve it.
~ Money is hard to come by.
~ Money is the root of all evil.
~ Money doesn't grow on trees.

And I sure you can add several more of your own negative expressions regarding money. It is thoughts like this that contradict our desire to actually have money.

"When you no longer split your flow of energy with contradictory thoughts, you will know your power."
Abraham-Hicks

Many of us have also lost sight of what money actually is. I often use images of dollars bills to represent money but notes and coins are just convenient ways to 'trade'. Bills and coins may represent money but they are not money. Money is simply energy.

When you understand that you will see therefore that in order to attract more money you have to be able to raise your energy so that it resonates with the new level of wealth you're seeking.

Now I'm not a wealth expert but Robert has lots of great practical advice on how to achieve this so do check out his new book and his website where you find lots of additional resources to help you better attract wealth.

Plus if you've published a book, or are about to publish a book and want to discover how to sell more of your books or other information products then Alex Mandossian has an excellent course teaching you how to "Profit From Virtual Book Tours".

Dr Joe Vitale's AAA Plan to Wealth - The Key to Attracting the Money You Want

Recently, one of my mentors, Dr Joe Vitale held an "Attract Wealth Seminar" where he revealed his "AAA Plan for Attracting Wealth". Dr Joe Vitale created the seminar in recognition that many people are currently experiencing tough times financially.

He covers a lot of ground in this 48 minute presentation including how to:

~ Conquer limiting beliefs that stand in the way of what you desire,

~ Attract wealth or anything else you want or need regardless of the situation you're currently in, and

~ Unlock the 'missing secret' to getting what you want in life.

The truth is wealth is a mindset and so without the right mindset you will never become wealthy or if you do you'll find that your new-found wealth quickly slips away.

As Brian Tracy says:

"The starting point of all riches is the development of a prosperity consciousness. You must become a financial success in your thinking long before you achieve it in your reality. Both poverty and riches are the result of a state of mind, and the most important single step you ever take on the road to wealth and financial independence is the decision to change your thinking, to impress into your mind an unshakable belief that youcan and will achieve your financial goals. This must happen before anything else happens."

Dr Joe Vitale who was once homeless and destitute has asked me to share his presentation. If he can turn his life around it is proof that anyone can.

Please leave a comment and let me know what you think of the presentation and or share any challenges that you might be facing at this time.
