Rich Beyond Words

Today’s article is written by one of my favorite mentors:
Rebecca Fine from the Science of Getting Rich Networks.

Quick! What’s the very first thing that springs into your mind when you read or hear the M-word? (M-o-n-e-y.)

For many people that first thing isn’t necessarily pleasant. And for others there’s a fleeting flicker of delight as they imagine having plenty of it, winning the lottery or the like, which just as quickly fades into a more familiar “not enough” feeling instead.

It’s not surprising. After all, most of us have been carefully trained, taught, even indoctrinated our whole lives to believe that money is scarce, that it’s hard to come by, that only people who have any ever get more, that it’s the cause of all the world’s troubles … and on and on and on.

Loads of heavy baggage packed with negativity on the simple subject of something we really cannot do without.

And it’s all just so SERIOUS and HEAVY and … ugh.

So since we already KNOW that we attract/create our own experience through our thinking, how about we just UNpack some of that mental baggage and ditch some of the seriousness so we can stop creating and attracting more stuff like THAT?

How about we just lighten up and have some FUN with all of this? When you’re having fun your thoughts aren’t focused on lack of anything, right?

(And believe me, when you get the hang of The Science of Getting Rich and start to see your life transforming in amazing ways, it’s FUN!)

For myself, I have decided that whenever the M-word comes up in conversation or my own thinking in any way that doesn’t thoroughly delight me, I am going to quietly, secretly substitute another word — a silly word that has NONE of those negative connotations.

I’ve been doing this for a while now with family and friends, too (not just quietly and secretly), and it’s not only fun, it highlights immediately just how silly all the negativity is.

I highly recommend the practice!

You can choose any word that strikes you as ridiculous. For me, the funniest word in the English language (and I don’t know why) is this:

Underpants.

(I know, I know. Totally juvenile. Pretty much the humor of a seven-year-old. And that’s probably why it works so well!)

Try it for yourself:

“I’d like to have a new car, but I don’t have enough underpants.”

“Invest in THAT? No way! It’s too risky. I could lose all my underpants.”

“Do you think underpants grow on trees?”

“I like the job but the underpants are awful.”

“Underpants can’t buy happiness.”

“He’s got more underpants than he knows what to do with.”

“Never throw good underpants after bad.”

“Underpants aren’t everything, you know.”

“I wouldn’t do that for love nor underpants.”

“Always be sure to save some underpants for a rainy day.”

“No matter how hard I try or what I do, I just NEVER have enough underpants.”

Oh, I could go on and on! In fact, a couple of days ago I introduced this scathingly brilliant concept to my mom and brother, and we sat out on Mom’s patio playing with it until we had tears streaming down our faces from laughing at ourselves so hard.

(I suppose goofiness runs in the family. Later that day when Mom said she was getting ready to throw a load of “delicates” in the washer we accused her of money laundering.)

And my friend Alexandra (Dr. Gayek, founder of The Science of Being Well Network) and I have giggled ourselves silly on the subject of abundance of all kinds by substituting my nutty word for almost ANY word having to do with wealth or health.

Ah, yes: We live in a world of infinite underpants!

But when I told her I was going to share this craziness with you she hesitated a moment and then asked, “Really?”

“Sure,” I said. “We just get so SERIOUS about all this stuff. But you and I both know it’s so much better to let it be FUN.”

“Well, you’re right,” she conceded. “But Rebecca, just try to be … brief.”

Ack.

Yes, she really said that — and cracked herself up laughing. Took me a moment to get it. You know, a pun truly IS the lowest form of humor … ;-D

I’m evaluating a multi-media course on blogging from the folks at Simpleology. For a while, they’re letting you snag it for free if you post about it on your blog.

It covers:

• The best blogging techniques.
• How to get traffic to your blog.
• How to turn your blog into money.

I’ll let you know what I think once I’ve had a chance to check it out. Meanwhile, go grab yours while it’s still free.

Today feeling motivated to write something positive about a business I love, namely MLM , I was amazed at how much negative coverage this form of marketing has. For me MLM is fun, but I’ve never claimed it to be the answer for every body’s troubles. The point is I have done a lot in my life for money and all of them seemed extremely stressful to me.

The thought of going to work every day to sell myself for a fistful of dollars is just not my idea of fun. Now I know plenty people, especially my family has scolded me for having this apparently horrible attitude. But they don’t pay for me, I pay my own way and I’ll admit at times it was down right hard to survive especially as I was incapable of keeping a steady and reliable job. It was only after I discovered the Law Of Attraction and got into finding out who I am did I realise MLM is for me.

Even if I was head of a bank earning a salary of well over a million bucks a year I could not face going into my executive office daily. I love my life too much and yes I also love money.
I am in no way implying that bank executives don’t love their jobs, and in the same breath as I say that I’m also grateful for them. I adore my bank manager. She is a lovely person, although she does look a bit overworked to me.

MLM is not every one’s cup of tea just like being a bank executive is not for every one. There may be nasty pyramid systems out there waiting to prey on innocent out of work individuals who are lusting after the big bucks. Through their lust it could be so that they are attracting companies with the intent of robbing their last bit of money from them with the promise of health and wealth.

There will always be the people saying well if MLM is so fantastic then why isn’t everyone doing it? Every one isn’t doing it because not every one wants to do it. Seems pretty basic to me. Just like I don’t want to do what other people are doing. Actually I don’t like to do any thing. I’m sure I’m considered lazy by many people. What kind of a lazy slob am I that I need some body to clean up after me? On the other hand though, I’m in a contented state when I’m digging, shovelling and schlepping in my garden. I also have no objection to sitting in my garden and just staring.

MLM is not about selling and buying loads of stock to pile up in your garage. If you’re considering MLM get involved with a company that has a remuneration system based on duplication rather than on the amount of product you purchase for wholesale which you then resell.

You don’t have to go to endless company meetings to be successful in MLM, you just have to understand the system. In fact I have never been to a meeting. Recruiting unemployed people and creating hype just seems to be dishonest to me.

For a small monthly investment you get to build yourself a serious income generator. A life insurance policy takes much longer to pay out those kinds of dividends. The stock exchange is riskier than investing a in product that benefits your health. Be proud of your chosen product and generously share with your friends. They’ll soon notice and ask what they’re being served and you can serenely introduce it by name and say not only does it taste great but makes money too. That way you land up with a whole lot of happy earning consumers. I can’t think of anything fairer.

My sponsor once said to me rather you make a new friend once a month than signing up hundreds of people that don’t understand and get disillusioned with the business and then go around bad mouthing the industry.

MLM is a life style, not a gimmick or a quick fix out of dire straits. Poverty is a mind set based on the idea of lack, limited supply and competition. Don’t even think about getting involved with MLM if you have any ideas based on poverty.
