Essential #7 for Creating Wealth and Success
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

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#6 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.

Essential #3 for Creating Wealth and Success

What you appreciate, appreciates.

I am pretty sure you’ve heard the phrase “What you appreciate, appreciates” a few time already.

However, today I want you to really hear me and TRULY embrace the power you have by being AWARE of your Focus of Attention.

Because…WHAT YOU FOCUS ON, EXPANDS.

That brings me to the Essential # 3 for Creating Wealth and Success:

Use the Power of Your Attention

Let me share with you briefly my personal story to demonstrate this power.

After I resigned from my “comfortable” job to go to the business school, left my “comfortable” marriage and started my own investment business, I expected that my life will be more exciting, more meaningful, and more adventurous.

Well, the beginning was too adventurous…. I felt like I was on a roller-coaster and then hit a wall. Everything seemed to be falling apart – from my health, to my business, to money and relationships.

My critical mind was constantly bringing my attention to what was NOT working (e.g. business, health, relationship) and what I didn’t have (e.g. a house, family, money).

I felt like a total failure.

You see, everybody goes through some crazy phases in life when it feels like everything is falling apart. That is the time to TRAIN your mind to focus on what works in your life and count your blessings!

Awareness of YOUR ATTENTION is paramount if you want to start creating your life intentionally/consciously.

Just like you use a remote control to switch a TV channel from something you don’t like, you can use your AWARENESS as your lever to direct your attention intentionally. And where your attention goes, energy flows.

Now let’s look at this essential principal from a practical perspective as it pertains to managing your money and creating wealth.

I am a big proponent of fiscal discipline. You’ve got to be a good custodian of your money if you want your money to “hang out” with you and in your world.

However, fiscal discipline is NOT the same as frugality.

For example, when you choose to save money, make sure you focus on what you say YES to, not what you say NO to.

You want to make financial decisions from a place of abundance and respect for your money, not lack and fear of “not enough”.

When you make a decision to put some money aside into your “peace of mind” fund (aka emergency fund),

are you making this decisions from a place of fullness (e.g. “YES, I CAN SAVE, I LOVE PAYING MYSELF FIRST and having the “peace of mind” fund”)

OR

from a place of lack and scarcity (“I don’t have enough to put money aside”, “my income is too small to save money”, “I have to save for the “rainy day””)?

That’s an important question to ask yourself if you want to test your focus.

If you focus on all the abundance you already have and what else you want to create in your life, then saving money becomes an empowering experience!

This is an important distinction to remember.

Let’s talk about ”The grass is always greener on the other side” syndrome – comparing yourself and your life with others, focusing on what “they” have and you do not.

There is always someone out there who may have more of what you want – more wealth, more success, more love, more fame, whatever. And if you focus on what “they have and you do not”, YOU make yourself “LESS THAN THEM.”

It adds stress, pressure, and triggers toxic “I’m not lucky/not enough” feelings….

YOU sabotage yourself.

What if you flip this and think about all the people who have less than you, who would love to have what you have – health, home, family, friends, etc.

Remember that NOTHING is GUARANTEED in life – what you have NOW is not guaranteed forever.

Bring your ATTENTION and ACKNOWLEDGE what you have NOW, and the progress you’ve made thus far. Then decide which areas of your life you want to up-level.

Once you stop comparing yourself and your life with someone else’s (who may have more wealth and success right now), and intentionally use your attention to focus on what YOU HAVE at the moment in your life and what YOU CAN adjust (e.g. upgrade your skills, become more aware of your old beliefs and money patterns, etc.), you will release stress, feel better, and elevate your mental and emotional energy.

THAT will create a rich ground for more opportunities and wealth in your life.

There is a great Buddhist saying: “There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.”

Gratitude is the way. Being in the Now is the way. Realizing how fortunate you are in so many ways… is the way.

YOU CAN CHOOSE where you direct your attention.

YOU CAN CHOOSE what you give your energy to.

YOUR ATTENTION DIRECTS YOUR ENERGY.

What YOU SEE, IS.

What YOU FOCUS ON, EXPANDS.
