  • Essential #7 for Creating Wealth and Success

    Essential #7 for Creating Wealth and Success

    Creating Wealth and Success with Millen Livis

    Do you remember that in Essential #4 for creating Wealth and Success, I talked about the importance of feeling rich and living wealthy regardless of your current financial situation?

    To feel rich and live wealthy, in addition to everything else that I shared with you earlier, you’ve got to take on the identity of a rich person! Start with thinking like a rich person and normalizing your new, wealthy reality and focus on experiences that confirm (to your own logical mind) that you already have wealth.

    Make feeling wealthy your new NORMAL.

    I encourage you to practice the following:

    1. Develop Confident Decisiveness – train yourself to take bold decisive actions and be responsible for the outcome.
    2. Be willing to take risk (calculated risk).
    3. Don’t be afraid of failures – see them as Valuable Growth Lessons. “Failures” are the bricks to your road to success. Many people “failed” their way to riches.
    4. Play to WIN, NOT not to lose (and be willing to leave the Good to welcome the Great).

    Fortune favors the bold.

    So, the Essential # 7 for Creating Wealth and Success is:

    Be Willing to Take Risk.

    You’ve got to be in a game and be OK with losing in order to learn and grow.Yes, you’ve got to PRACTICE taking decisive actions and be willing to take risk.

    Not ‘gambling’ type of risk! Mindful risk.

    And often this entails to be willing to leave the Good to welcome the Great.

    Here’re some examples from my own life when I did exactly that:

    • Invested in the stock market to raise money for the down-payment on our first house
    • Left my marriage… left everything behind – the gorgeous house, the comfort of 2 incomes…and re-starting my NEW LIFE in a tiny apartment near my job.
    • Left my well-paid and prestigious Wall Street career and went back to the Business School in my mid 40’s, then started my own investment company
    • Started my wealth mentoring business, put myself out there to support other women on the journey to wealth and freedom. My remarkable life didn’t happen overnight. My CHOICES shaped me and my life’s trajectory.

    And a few of these choices were risky. I was (for the most part) playing to WIN, NOT not to lose.  I was scared… often.

    Yet I was willing (and it was REALLY scary) to Leave the Good in order to Welcome the Great.

    Obviously, different people have different tolerance for risk. Be aware of your risk tolerance, respect it yet see if you can stretch it a bit…and a bit more…and more.

    Fortune favors the bold.

    The suggestions offered here may feel like scary or crazy… Keep practicing them anyway.

    Things will start shifting… your feelings will change, your energy will change….
    You will start creating and experiencing forward-moving momentum.

    Synchronizations and serendipitous experiences will be happening, you will start attracting good opportunities instead of repelling them.

    Risk is embedded in any business or investing decisions.

    Nothing is guaranteed in life (except taxes and death.)

    BUT it doesn’t mean that you should stay away from any endeavors that involve risk, not at all!

    Instead, you’ve got to:

    • Become aware of your particular risk tolerance and;
    • Take decisions that involve measured/mindful risk so that your possibility for success exceeds the possibility of loss
    • Your loss will not put you into despair and make you lose sleep
    • Develop courage and Be Willing to Leave the Good to Welcome the Great.

  • Essential #6 for Creating Wealth and Success

    Essential #6 for Creating Wealth and Success

    It’s been said that “what you want, wants you.” There is an ‘acorn’ seed inside you that wants to emerge.

    The challenge is to FEEL and ACT congruent with your desires BEFORE you receive and experience them in a physical form.

    While your beliefs and feelings exert a very powerful force in your life, they
    don’t fully determine what you can or cannot receive because there is another factor that determines your outcome – ACTION.

    The Essential#for Creating Wealth and Success is
    ACT Congruent with Your Desires and Never Give Up on Your Dreams.

    It has been my experience that you can receive abundance and wealth even before you fully believe in yourself and your vision, even before you believe it’s possible for you.

    You don’t have to be “fearless and doubtless” to act on your desires. You can choose to take bold actions to achieve your vision, which then will activate the feeling and generate the energy necessary to make it happen.

    You can LEAD with Action.

    I did it a few times in my life.

    When I was looking for my first Wall Street job.
    When I founded my investment company.
    When I made a decision to become financially independent.
    When I published my first book.

    I felt fear. I had doubts. My beliefs were lagging….
    BUT I didn’t let the fears and doubts stop me from taking actions.

    Fear is one of the main reasons that stops people from taking action. Many are afraid “to take risk”, “lose it all”, “not being able to handle it”, “not having the know-how”, “not being ready”, “becoming homeless”…

    The main underlying fear is fear of failure. Many people feel that if they ‘fail’, they will be judged, rejected, not respected, not loved….

    THAT is the guaranteed way to live your life with regrets. The only way to fail is not even try. If you act and it doesn’t work the way you expected, you’ll learn, adjust your course, and keep going until you find what works.

    THAT IS THE ROAD TO MASTERY.

    Never give up on your vision, even if nobody else believes in it but you.

    Be Unstoppable. You are a powerhouse of infinite possibilities.

    If you feel that your current financial reality must change, if you’re willing to challenge the status quo and if you want to stretch your beliefs about what’s possible to you, join us for the 4-week training Creating Prosperity Formula.

  • Essential #5 for Creating Wealth and Success

    Essential #5 for Creating Wealth and Success

    Essential #5 for Creating Wealth and Success

    Do you believe that the most authentic way to create wealth in your life is by helping other people have more of what they want?

    I like the expression “authentic money”. That’s the money you make by authentic self-expression, by “doing” you. LOL

    That’s the wealth you create by being authentically you – using your natural talents, skills, and experiences while making a difference in others’ lives.

    And that’s the Essential #5 for Creating Wealth and Success:

    Make a Difference, Enrich the Lives of Others.

    People who offer value

    • by solving or helping solve work / health / relationship / career / financial problems, or
    • by helping others achieve their goals faster and easier, or
    • by helping people feel good about themselves and their lives

    get rewarded for enriching the lives of others.

    Would you agree?

    Names that come to mind are Steve Jobs, Oprah Winfrey, Tony Robbins…

    So, it is really important to become aware of the kind of problems you can help people solve…or  joyful / fun experiences you can help them have.

    I love the quote by Neale Donald Walsch: “Your job is to help others get to where you are. Why do you suppose you know the terrain so well?”

    People are willing to pay for enriching their lives – reducing/removing painful experiences, or having more joy and fun in their lives.

    Also, I believe that you’ve got to be willing to GIVE first, BEFORE you start RECEIVING.

    There are two extreme categories of people who offer services.

    The first extreme group is the “Eternal Givers”. These people give, and give, and give….

    They are afraid to over-charge, they are worried that nobody will buy from them because it might be “too expensive” for others, so they often charge NOTHING or waaaay below the offered value.

    The Eternal Givers undervalue their services immensely and do a real disservice to their potential clients. WHY?

    Because to stay in business, you’ve got to make profit. Period. End of story.

    The second extreme group, the “Hard Receivers”, are people who get impatient with the wealth creation process and only focus on the receiving part. They feel that their time is too valuable to offer ANY services without charging…a lot.

    It is my belief that there are no shortcuts in this principle. You’ve got to keep offering value first – willingly and joyfully – until you create an energetic momentum and get in the flow of abundance.

    Most successful and wealthy people went through growth and maturing phases in their businesses before they became “rich and powerful.” Many were offering value for a long time before they started receiving the financial windfall.

    The higher the perceived value of your offerings and the more lives you touch, the higher your financial and personal reward will be.

    And it will happen on Divine time, which may be different from your expected time-frame. So, don’t get discouraged if you are still growing and building the momentum.

    OK, one more important awareness that I want to mention here:

    Pay attention to what place you offer your services from.

    Is your main focus to make 5-6 figure per month?

    Are you focused mostly on enriching yourself, becoming famous, and have more financial wealth for yourself? 

    Or you really desire to add TRUE value to the lives of others?

    Really excited to help people solve their problems, become more confident, competent and successful while creating the life you want to have for yourself? 

    One more thing….

    If you experience resistance to your work, there could be a couple of reasons:

    1. Universe is testing your commitment and resilience,
    2. The work that you do does not support the Universal direction of expansion – for yourself and/or others.

    Does it make sense?

    What do you think about this essential? I’d love to hear from you!

  • Essential #2 for Creating Wealth and Success

    Essential #2 for Creating Wealth and Success

     

    I want to share with you a true story that led me to a decision to include the Essential #2 into my list of principals for Creating Wealth and Success.

    I own a successful real estate business and some time ago had the following conversation with one of my clients, Kate, who is a young married professional woman who has problems paying her rent and bills in general.

    Kate: “You’re lucky, Millen. You’re wealthy, you don’t need to work, you have a nice car! You don’t understand how hard it is when you never have enough money. You don’t understand how it feels to be poor!”

    Me: ” Actually, Kate, I was in much worse situation than you have right now… more than once.
    I experienced being jobless and working for minimum wage jobs, being alone and depressed, broke and broken….

    I had to learn how to FEEL wealthy even when I didn’t have much on my bank account. I had to learn how to become a savvy manager of my money so that I will be able to pay my rent and bills…save and invest.

    I had to learn how to believe in myself, so I could eventually create a life I wanted to have.  So, it’s NOT luck. It’s the CHOICES that I made that led me to the life I have now.”

    And that brings me to the

    Essential #2 for Creating Wealth and Success: 

    Install and keep reinforcing supportive beliefs about yourself, money and wealth

    Let me go over the WHAT, the WHY and the HOW.

    WHAT are Beliefs?

    Repeatable thoughts, patterns of thinking, stories you continuously tell yourself when nobody else is listening….

    The domain of your beliefs is your Subconscious Mind. You create your experiences by the CHOICES you make, which are determined by what you REALLY think and feel, which is the realm of Subconscious Mind.

    When you were born, your subconscious mind was a blank slate… Have you noticed that little children have a natural sense of curiosity and excitement for life?

    And then the programming started… “You have to be careful”, “you have to have a corporate job or be a doctor/lawyer to make a good living”, “you have to work REALLY hard to make money”, “you need to marry a wealthy man to have financial security”, “you are not the entrepreneurial type”, “being wealthy is not in your cards”, blah, blah, blah….

    WHY it’s important…

    When you have ‘money blocks’ in a form of self-limiting BELIEFS around money, wealth and self-worth, you SEE the world THROUGH THESE FILTERS, through the filters of YOUR UNSUPPORTED BELIEFS!

    When you don’t believe that wealth is possible for you, you repel, don’t pay attention to, or dismiss the wealth-building opportunities when they show up in your life.

    Your beliefs about money, wealth, yourself, and what’s possible for you are pictured out in your life experiences and your financial situation.

    Your state of sub-consciousness is reflected in your experiences. And your state of sub-consciousness is determined by your deep beliefs and feelings….

    Yes, your experiences in life are affected by what you FEEL and THINK you deserve and can achieve. You only “see” the circumstances that confirm your beliefs.…

    THAT’s why it’s important to BE AWARE of your deep hidden beliefs and CHOOSE which ones you want to “install”, nurture, give energy to.

    HOW to Install Supportive Beliefs

    TRAIN your mind to acknowledge your successes, celebrate your WINS, become more intentional with your CHOICES, notice what works in your life, REINFORCE the behavior’s and beliefs that have helped you succeed in the past.

    Establish DAILY wealth practices: meditation, journaling, counting your wins and actively appreciating what you have now, going for your wealth walks and using affirmations, asking “What if…” and “Why I can have/be/do…?” questions, etc.

    If you don’t like where you currently are financially, you may ask yourself “What beliefs someone must have to manifest these experiences?” It’s the shortest and simplest way to uncover your hidden sabotaging beliefs.

    Then you can ask “What actions someone could take to change this situation?”

    You see, money is a special (metaphysical) mirror of your current values, thoughts, beliefs, and choices.

    For example, if you keep spending more money than you make and don’t grow your savings, you may have a belief that you cannot manage your money well.

    If you keep attracting clients who “cannot afford you”, you may have a hidden belief that your service is not really that valuable or that you are not “good enough” to charge your fees.

    You see how it works?

    Your beliefs are tightly connected to certain emotions.

    When you have supportive beliefs about yourself, you feel peaceful, uplifted, grateful, and joyful.
    When you have sabotaging beliefs, you feel discouraged, jealous, sad, angry, fearful, or ashamed.

    But don’t be afraid of experiencing “negative emotions”. Notice them…acknowledge them because negative emotions are your clues to the hidden beliefs that are NOT TRUE.

    P.S. Do you still live in a world of “surviving”, financially? Or feel that someone else is luckier than you?

    Are you READY to step into your NEW WAY OF BEING and START THRIVING – with your money, your relationships, your work, your health?

    THAT’s what I want for you…if YOU ARE READY to rock your world!
