Emotions = Money
Have you ever noticed that some of your friends who complain that money is tight always seem to find money to buy a new car or some other toy that a broke person can’t afford? Or maybe you’ve even noticed that your finances might be tight but you find a way to get the newest iPhone or that hot new outfit. Emotions create desire and pretty soon we’re coughing up the money for these items.
Hey, I’ve been there too. Here’s what is cool about this behavior: it shows us that when there is emotional value in something, we have the means to attract it into our experience. It is that emotional pull that gets our rears into gear and we find a way to make it happen. The trick is to do this more intentionally, on a daily basis.
I’ll give you a few examples to demonstrate how this works. When I first began my coaching practice I drove a Honda Accord. It wasn’t in bad mechanical shape but the paint was oxidizing. It didn’t look good for a “success” coach to drive a deteriorating car. The main thing was that I didn’t feel good driving it. I was clear that I needed to upgrade my vehicle and I didn’t want to spend more than $5000 on a used car. I found a BMW 325i that was perfect. I got a killer price on it. My desire brought me this car at a savings that seemed miraculous.
Many years later, the BMW’s paint began to oxidize and my brother’s purchase of a new car got my interest peaked. I was now hooked on BMWs and wanted a newer one. I went to the BMW dealer and found my perfect car in the first five minutes. I’d never bought a car off of a lot before. I came with no money and no clue about financing and pricing. They asked for a down payment of $8000. Geez! I didn’t have that kind of money available for this type of purchase. But oh! I wanted that car. Had to have it. I told them I’d find a way to finance in the next 24 hours.
Where emotion is strong, there will be a way. I found a way. It looked crazy from the outside looking in but I was confident it would work. It did. And as if that down payment wasn’t enough to challenge me, my monthly car payment was more than my rent at that time. I loved that car so much I was never late on a payment, even through my financial crash a few years back.
Most of my clients want more money. I always tell them to lock on to what they would use the money for. It’s so much more compelling than focusing on a certain amount of money. A couple years back, I decided that it was time for some business debt that Eva and I had together to go bye-bye. We’d been making payments for years on it but I guess neither of us was passionate about deciding it would be paid off before that point. I was tired of seeing the statements for our payments due. As soon as I made the decision it took three months and it was gone. My irritation and decision pulled in additional income to enable us to make the goal.
Emotion is the magnet or repellent to the money we desire. The emotions related to fear are repellents. They’re like a skunk. They stink and nobody wants to go near them. Any emotion relating to joy, love, excitement, peace or confidence is like bees to honey. They find it from far away and it keeps attracting more! Get emotions behind your decision to have more money and you will see an increase immediately!
