How To Never Run Out Of Money Again — 8 Things I Shifted To Go From 6-Figure Debts To 6-Figure Months
Do you feel financial pressure? Do you live in a survial mode and keep attracting more scarcity into your life?
When we live in scarcity we get very focused on calculating every single penny and look down on the details desperately. But we forget about the millions that is flying above us.
Manifestation and the law of attraction can be powerful, but some people say it doesn’t work. But why isn’t it working for some people?
I remember going to restaurants, and instead picking the food I truly wanted, I was more fixated on the price every dish would cost. My dream was to eat in whatever fancy restaurant I wanted, travel the world and do business from anywhere.
In this article, I’ll be sharing my 8 ways that helped me to shift from scarcity to abundance, and how you embody abundance, so you never have to run out of money again.
How I Started With 6-Figure Debts
A little background story.
I am originally from South Korea, but ever since I was 6 years old, I grew up old in a mid-class family here in Switzerland. I’m not from a rich family and I didn’t had a powerful network, nor had extra money.
‘’I started from 0 and made my way up step by step by taking advantage of my breakdowns to breakthrough and breakout from our society system through my awakening.’’
I saw my whole family working really hard for money. I saw my mum and grandparents working daily from morning until late evening for money. My family poured all their energy and efforts to simply ‘survive’ and they tried their best to always provide me and my younger sister with what they could.
One of the reasons, why I started my entrepreneurial path when I was 18 years old, was to break out from this family cycle working hard for money for a lifetime.
‘’The Biggest Challenge Was The First Shift From Scarcity To Abundance. But Once The Shift Has Been Made, It Gets Much Easier To Shift From Abundance Anytime Throughout Our Lives.’’
8 Things That Helped Me To Financially Breakthrough:
1. Taking Decisions From An Abundant Place — Embody Resourcefulness
To start, you must be willing to open your mind. Take a few minutes each day to breathe deeply and visualize what your ideal future looks like. Don’t be afraid to dream big. Take this time to get crystal clear about what it is that you truly desire. What does it look like? How does it feel? Amazing? Exciting? Exhilarating? When do you want it to happen? Next week? Next month? A year from now? What do you see, feel, what are you wearing and where are you?
‘’I don’t need money to make money. I am the money.’’
I was resourceful in THE MOMENT. I saved myself.
I was FULL OF RESOURCES and TOOLS for coming up with solutions.
‘’Your success in business will be directly correlated how resourceful you will consistently be, because wherever you are, you need to see the potential of time and money and energy.’’
This is exactly HOW I started my entrepreneurial path.
2. Key To Abundance Is Letting Go
A huge part when it comes to personal growth is the process of letting go.
Of course it’s easier said than done.
But again, if you make it hard for yourself. It gets harder. If you make it easier for yourself, it gets easy. Things can be done with ease.
Letting go contributes more to our growth than adding things sometimes.
Here the main 4 things I let go of to attract more abundance:
Most Importantly:
I had to forgive myself and others at my deepest core. This is related to all past events and traumas. I realized how this plays a huge role when it comes to healing and creating abundance.
I hugged my fears tightly and made my fears to my best friends. I took risks.
My best-case scenarios were always backed up with worst-case scenearios. I always mentally prepare myself for both in strategic and emotional ways, but give more power to the best-case sceneario.
This is an important step that many people underestimate when it comes to creating wealth.
3. Surround Yourself With People Who Have An Abundance Mindset
Macro and Micro Environments
I can’t highlight this enough.
Environment matters so much.
This was probably one of the ultimate reasons why I don’t live in scarcity anymore. Energy is contagious.
I started very early on to network with people on social media, especially on Linkedin and Instagram.
I joined mastermind groups of high-driven 6–7–8 figure Entrepreneurs who were thriving on a whole different level. I joined network events, online and offline seminars here in switzerland and abroad.
I took time to build meaningful relationships with people who inspired me and had a lifestyle I wanted. I surrounded myself with ambitious and impact-driven people who had constantly invested in themselves. People who had discipline, people who were fit and travelled around the world while running their business.
“If you use a big spoon, you’ll eat more. If you serve yourself on a big plate, you’ll eat more. If you move the small bowl of chocolates on your desk six feet away from you, you’ll eat half as much.”
Controlling our macro environment is harder and can involve some tough choices, from where we choose to live to whom we choose to spend our time with. As Jim Rohn said, “We are the average of the five people we spend the most time with.”
These small changes can significantly affect your micro environment and allow you to reserve willpower so that you can tap into it when you need it for bigger decisions.
Same thing if you want to be in a happy, more abundant, have a loyal marriage. Hanging around others who are unfaithful in their relationship, people with poor mindsets, or spending time in environments where this behavior is condoned or encouraged is probably not the best choice for this objective.
When it comes to pursuing goals, what often matters more than discipline and willpower is the environment and people we surround ourselves with on a regular basis.
4. Train Your Mind to Recognize Possibilities
Opportunities are everywhere. Around every corner, next to you, in front of you, above you and if not, you always have the ability to create them.
That correlates a lot to my life motto:
‘’Jump In At The Deep End.’’
It’s about to recognize and create opportunities for yourself. A proactive way to step out of your comfort zone to grow and evolve as you just go ahead.
Shock yourself and be your own catalyst of life.
‘’It’s like you jump out of an airplane and build the parachute while you fall down.’’
Personal Examples:
5. Whatever You Want To Receive, Start By Giving
Whatever it is you want more of in your life, give more of it.
‘’If you want more money, give more money, if you want more love, give more love, if you want more business, give more business.’’
Now let’s look at the last one, if you want more business, give more business. From my experience most really successful people are really good at referring business to others.
Business is about people..
If you want to get promoted, promote others. If you want to get referred, refer others. If you want to get help, think first on how you can help that person first.
Because I referred happily others and connected entrepreneurs to each other, I got also referred from them. The blessings somehow always comes back in a way, often the blessings are much bigger.
A personal example:
I started early on to invest in myself, in my personal growth and education. Starting with 1.5k courses/programs, and going all the way up to 100K+ investments in mentors over the past few years.
I invested bigger amounts in myself and that lead to me generate more amounts in return.
But something very important to inhale:
‘’You can invest into the best mentors in the world, but the ultimate results come from YOU taking massive actions. You need to put in the work, otherwise every course, program or mentor will be a scam.’’
The mutual practice of giving and receiving is an everyday ritual when we know true love.
6. Wealth Is State Of Consciousness — L.O.A In The Right Way
Before we can be wealthy and lead an abundant life, we need to understand what it means to us. Zoom out. Redefine it.
Wealth consciousness of abundance is to believe you deserve wealth and financial rewards in life just for being you.
You need to believe at your deepest core that you deserve wealth and money.
It is a fundamental law of the universe that if you don’t think you deserve something then you will most certainly not get it.
There are 3 core areas in life that matters:
I refined for myself what each of these things mean to me, and how I wanted it to be.
I manifested the best version of each of these domains, I visualized it, I wrote it down, I spoke it in front of me daily and mediate on it.
But you know what is really the thing that matters?
It’s ACTION.
‘’The law of attraction doesn’t work.’’
Something I experienced myself and many others.
Most of them tell me that they manifested the amount of money they want (specific numbers are important) and how they want to generate it. Also what it means to them. I did this too.
But many times people miss out on the most important part.
Which is taking massive action.
You can’t expect that money just comes to you by meditating on it for hours in your room without taking the actions required.
Yes, manifestation and visualization is important. Mediate, do the inner work and believe in it. But also take actions to make it happen. There is no other way around it.
7. Incorporate Gratitude In Your Life
It’s about being grateful with what we already have while having a grand vision.
‘’Gratitude is absolutely the way to attract more abundance in life. It’s the magnet for wonders.’’
Starting my day and ending my day with gratitude (and throughout the day as well) allowed me to shift massive perspective in business and life. I do that by starting my day with a 15 minutes Gratitude Meditation and journaling. I also pray after I wake up and do the same thing before going to bed.
I see things from a ‘lense of cause’.
‘’Life is not happening to me, but FROM me and FOR me.’’
It helped me to shift massive percepion. It made me realize, no matter how difficult times were that I am very blessed.
There is always a person out there who has less than you. The life you live now is the dream of someone else.
Yes, life happens and the intensity of traumas, pains and challenges I faced was sometimes really difficult. But the more pains I had, the more thankful I was. I accepted everything with grace and gratefulness.
The greater your pains, the greater are your blessings and your impact. The greater your obstacles, the more glory.
8. The Source Of Abundance Is Infinite
Living in gratitude and embodying resourcefulness with an abundance mindset is key. Resourcefulness is a crucial leadership and life skill.
The purpose of wealth is creating joy and expanding happiness.
If you apply those principles in life, you will never run out of money again. There is no limit when it comes to abundance.
Your financial situation can drastically change within the next 3 months.
No limits or boundaries in time, space, extent, or magnitude.
The only limits are the ones we set.
You have the power in you to achieve anything you want in your life.
Don’t just wish to want something.
If you want something so badly, your ‘want’ will automatically turn into already OWNING it.
You’re already there,
