The secret power of acting as if (it’s not what you think!)

The secret power of acting as if (it’s not what you think!)

The power of acting as if is not faking it til you make it.

In fact – it’s kind of the opposite.

So I want to know:

  • Do you act as if you already are the person you hope to become? 
  • Do you act as if you already have some of those things you hope to have and plan to have? 
  • And do you act as if you’re already living that life that you desire? 

Cary Grant is quoted as saying, “I acted like Cary Grant for so long that I became him.”

(And if you don’t know who Cary Grant is, it’s because you’re a lot younger than me.) 

It’s genius advice because here’s the thing:
We all go on a journey in life. We start out in one place as a certain person, and then we aim to have the life of this new person that we want to become. 

This new life cannot be lived by the same person as the one who is at the beginning of the journey. 

This life can only be lived by the person who has created it. Who’s comfortable in it. 

So the trick – as with all things I teach – is to start from the inside out. 

You have to become that person.

READ THE TRANSCRIPT:

You have to think, speak, feel and act like that person who has the life you desire. 

You have to tap into the power of acting as if.

And then the outside of you can start to fall into place and match that.

Acting as if isn’t about faking it until you make it. It’s not about being fake at all.

It’s actually about BECOMING REAL… becoming your new reality.

It’s about lining up your thoughts, feelings, words and actions, and having them all be congruent. This means that to your nervous system and to the quantum field to which you put out this constant signal, you’re sending a really clear congruent message of, “This is who I now am.” 

Then the outside of you can start to morph, and the pieces of the puzzle can fall together for you. Everything can come together for you to match what’s going on on the inside of you. 

But you need to start inside, and acting as if is a wonderful way of adding another layer to the work you’re already doing by managing: 

    • How you’re feeling
    • The thoughts you’re thinking
    • The words that you’re speaking
    • What you’re consuming in terms of media and the conversations you have 

Acting as if is very powerful because the way you act directly speaks to the way you think and what you truly believe about yourself. 

Just do any little token gestures, such as buying the more expensive cheese at the supermarket or walking up to somebody at a networking meeting, introducing yourself confidently and asking them about themself. 

Do something that you wouldn’t normally do, but that that person that you hope to become would totally do every single day. 

Pick something as an experiment for the next seven days and start acting as if. 

I challenge you to do it for seven days and I’d love to hear what shifts for you, how it helps you become more congruent and feel more congruent with where you’re going, and what happens.

What’s one small way you can start acting as if today?

My top hack for eliminating debt – that’s super fast!

My top hack for eliminating debt – that’s super fast!

Today I’m going to share with you my number one hack for eliminating debt.

You’ll want to stick around for this one.

 

WATCH THE VIDEO :

LISTEN TO THE AUDIO:

 

READ THE TRANSCRIPT:

I’m going to use a four-letter word… debt. 

Nobody likes that one. 

We’ve all got it – most of us anyway – and we don’t like it, we want to get rid of that thing. 

Energetically, the more you try to get rid of something, the more you actually give it power, the more you reinforce it.

What you resist, persists. 

So you want to be careful. What you want to do is actually turn that around by implementing the really practical things that I’m about to share with you. 

Turn that around and actually change the energy.

Right now, your energy is probably one of ‘I don’t want any more debt!’ which actually just keeps more debt coming at you.

Rember: What you resist persists and where attention goes energy flows. And everything is energy. 

We want to turn that energy around to ‘Every day, I’m eliminating debt. Every day my debt is shrinking. It’s shrinking faster and faster!’, which is a completely different vibration. 

That’s what we want. 

So how do you do that? 

OK, let me share my number one tip for eliminating debt with you: 

Most people, when they have multiple credit cards, car loans, etc., they just make the minimum payments on everything. Sometimes they pay a bit more here and there, but generally, they’re just making the regular payments and trying to get on top of things. 

What you want to do is this: Get a piece of paper and list all of your debts. List what you owe, what the minimum monthly payment is (or weekly if that’s how you operate), and list the interest rate if you can. 

Now from a pure finance advisory perspective – which by the way, I’m not giving you financial advice here – and from a number-crunching perspective, you would usually work on the one that has the highest interest rate first because it’s costing you the most.

But having said that, everything is energy. 

If there’s one that bothers you a whole lot more than the others, or if you’re really overwhelmed by the feeling of debt, and just getting rid of one little thing would help, then go for another one. 

Sometimes it actually helps to get rid of the one that you owe the least on because you can do that quickly.

So choose one. 

If you’re feeling okay, then definitely go with the one on the highest interest rate and watch that debt shrink into oblivion. 

Here’s how you do it: 

✔️ Find a little bit of extra money somewhere. 

You can look at things like whether you have magazine subscriptions that you don’t utilise, whether you subscribe to Spotify but in reality, it’s no big deal if there’s an odd ad. Or perhaps you spend a little bit more than you really need to on going out and grabbing a cup of coffee or lunch.

Just figure out if there’s something that isn’t necessary that you can save money on.

Ideally, that’s the best way to do it. 

✔️ Then put that money towards that debt.

Think of this as REPLACING expenses. Swapping something not very useful with something that’s very useful and is going to help you a lot. 

Put that amount of money – let’s say it’s $50 a week saved from removing unnecessary expenses – towards the debt you’ve decided on and keep doing that. 

✔️ Keep paying all the other ones at their minimum payments and just focus on THE one. 

Just focus on eliminating debt – but focus on ONE at a time.

✔️ When that one’s all paid off, do a little happy dance. Give yourself a treat that you’ve decided on in advance. 

Ideally, your reward should cost about the same as one of those debt payments.

So if you were making a payment of $200 and have now paid off that debt, then put one of those payments towards a special little reward for yourself.

✔️ Then after that, don’t just absorb that money and re-subscribe to the magazines and everything else. Use that extra money you’ve just freed up and choose the next debt to eliminate!

I call this tipping the buckets. 

You just want to then choose the next debt to eliminate. You’ve got that whole $200 now extra to put towards the next one. 

So again, choose it depending on what works best for you.

Pay off all of it. 

✔️ When you get that one completely gone, do the same thing. 

Treat yourself, celebrate, and then take the whole payment (so what you had on the very first one plus what you were paying on the second one, which you then stacked up) and then pay all of that towards the next one. 

What will actually happen is that it’s going to gather momentum really, really quickly. 

The first one will be the slowest. The second one goes faster, and from there, it just goes bang, bang, bang, the dominoes will drop. 

It’s a really cool technique. 

Celebrate, do lots of happy dances and really celebrate every time you eliminate a debt.

Remember: All is energy. All is vibration. You want to do the dance of abundance. 

And that is it.

See how simple eliminating debt can be – and how quickly it can happen once you get started & focus?

Let me know in the comments below if you’ve ever tried this & how it went!

Why you’re not attracting money – even though you want more money

Why you’re not attracting money – even though you want more money

Today I’m going to tell you what NOT to focus on if you want to manifest money, so read on:

So you want to manifest more money, and I bet you’re focusing on money a whole lot!

Well, I’m here to tell you – stop it!

Stop focusing on money. 

That’s why you’re not manifesting more… why you’re not attracting more. 

That’s why the Universe thinks you do NOT want more money!

You’re actually blocking money by focusing on money. 

Does that seem weird to you? Well, let me explain:

At the moment, you really, really, really want to attract more money. 

What that means is that you’re not actually focusing on money, you’re focusing on the LACK of money. 

You’re focusing on lack, you’re focusing on not having money, and this magical universe that we live in, doesn’t hear words, it only hears feeling and vibration. 

Feeling and vibration is the language of the universe. So you may be screaming “More money please!” with your words, but the feeling behind that is lack.

LISTEN TO THE AUDIO:

 

READ THE TRANSCRIPT:

That’s why you want to stop focusing on money because money is an issue right now. 

You’re focusing on the lack of it. Stop it. It just creates more of the same. 

You’re sending the message out to the universe that you don’t have enough money. You’re reinforcing that into your neural pathways and wiring in the “I don’t have enough money” pattern even deeper, and it’s just not helping.

What you want to do is you want to get off the topic of money and get on the vibration of money. 

How do you do that? 

Well, what is the vibration of money? 

As I said before vibration is a feeling. It’s the same thing.

When we have a feeling, we are in tune with a vibration. A feeling IS vibration, so the feeling of having lots of money isn’t “Oh my god, I don’t have enough! Hurry up and give me some universe!”

The feeling of having lots of money is a feeling of ABUNDANCE.

It’s a feeling of plenty, it’s the feeling where it just comes, it’s just there and you can pretty much take it for granted. 

At the moment, you simply can’t do that with money. And please don’t even try to pretend – the Universe won’t fall for it.

But you can do that with a whole lot of other stuff!

You can do that with all the things that you DO take for granted, that you DO have an abundance of in your life. 

Start focusing on them. 

Focus on the fact that the sun rises every single morning and you don’t have to do a single thing. Focus on the fact that there are birds flying around, there’s all this amazing nature, there’s sunshine, there are planets spinning in their orbit, the Earth’s gravitational field still works and you didn’t have to do anything. 

Just focus on the abundance of all those magical things around you, and how much of it there is that you can take for granted that actually takes care of you. 

The more general you go, the less likely you are to introduce resistance into that topic. 

Get on the vibration of abundance because there’s plenty of abundance all around you. 

And by default, you will actually be in the vibrational place where you are attractive again to money because money didn’t find you very attractive before. 

I hate to tell you, when you’re just screaming about the lack of it, money is going ‘I’d like us to be friends but right now… Meh. I’ll come back when you’re in a better mood’. 

Don’t do that to your money. 

Make yourself attractive. Make sure you smell good. Put on some nice clothes, pretty earrings and some lovely essential oils and make yourself attractive to money by being focused on and in the vibration of abundance. 

So what next?

Well I suggest you take my Money Habit Archetype quiz so you can find out your dominant money pattern & use it to clear your biggest money block.

If you’d like to attract more money, more easily, it’s a very handy thing to do next. 😊

How to manifest money fast by developing an abundance mindset

How to manifest money fast by developing an abundance mindset

Let’s talk about how developing an abundance mindset helps you manifest money fast.

Along the way I’ll also be answering these questions for you: 

  • Can you really manifest money? 
  • What do you say to manifest money? 
  • How do you ask the universe for money? 
  • How can you manifest money fast?

 

WATCH THE VIDEO :

OR LISTEN TO THE AUDIO:

 

OR READ THE TRANSCRIPT:

So can you really manifest money? Well, the short answer is YES.

You’re always manifesting. Law of attraction is always on. There is no off switch so you’re manifesting all the time. 

You’re always manifesting something. 

When things show up in your life, that’s what manifesting means. It means something that used to exist just as an idea, suddenly becoming a real thing in your life. 

In fact, it even starts at a finer level than that. When you have the thought or the idea, that has also been manifested. 

Where did the idea come from? 

You also already have money showing up in your life, which means you’re already manifesting money. Every dollar and every cent that has shown up for you so far in your life has been manifested by you. You have brought it into experience. 

I don’t need to teach you how to manifest money because you’re already doing it. 

What I am going to share with you is how to do it deliberately by developing an abundance mindset. 

How can you manifest money fast? 

Well, I actually just did another video on manifesting money fast so go and check that out

But simply put, to manifest money fast you need to:

  1. Believe it’s possible
  2. Expect it
  3. Allow it

So what do you say to manifest money?

You can say “hocus pocus” if you really want to, but it honestly makes no difference whatsoever.

You can read every ‘How to manifest money fast’ guide that exists on the entire planet and it still might make no difference. 

Because what you say doesn’t matter one bit. 

What matters is what you think, feel and do. 

Your feeling state – your state of being – THAT is your vibration. 

That is the signal that goes out into the universe, and that the universe responds to. 

Like attracts like. 

Whatever signal you’re resonating, you’re going to get matching things back. 

So you really want that vibration/signal/message to say, ‘Woohoo! Abundance over here, plenty of money, feeling great, loving life, ready for more!’

This is what having an abundance mindset actually means. 

It means that you feel abundant now, you’re excited and happy with everything you already have in your life, and you’re totally open to and excited for more, but not desperate for it. 

So how to ask the Universe for money…

Well, as we’ve just said, the universe doesn’t hear you… it feels you. 

This is where I want to just very briefly mention an amazing effect from quantum physics called quantum entanglement. Quantum entanglement basically says that every idea you’ve ever had, every thought you’ve ever had, that idea, that thing in the ether is now connected to you forever and ever and ever. 

Which means that if you’ve ever thought ‘Oh it would be nice to have this’, or ‘Wouldn’t that be lovely’, or ‘That looks good’, it’s already connected to you and you don’t need to ask for it again. 

So it’s critical to know that you don’t need to ask the universe for money, the universe heard you loud and clear. 

Every single time you’ve recited those affirmations, every single time you’ve written out those goals, it’s heard you over and over again and it’s probably going “Alright already, you’re giving me a headache.” 

So now you just need to stay in the room. You need to stay on that vibration so you can actually receive. You need to stay a match so the universe can bring you the thing that you’ve already ordered. 

There’s an analogy I like to use here with my students and it’s the restaurant analogy. 

So when you’re in a restaurant, you look through the menu, the waiter tells you the specials and then you choose the thing you want. You place that order and you let it go. The waiter goes to the kitchen, the kitchen knows what to do, and you get on with your day. 

But the key thing is that you have to stay in the restaurant if you want to receive the meal. 

The meal has been ordered. They know what you want, they have everything they need to make it happen, and they know where to find you… unless you leave the room. 

So stay on that vibration. Stay in the receiving mode so that the universe can bring you the thing that you already asked for a gazillion times already.

Remember that ‘receiving mode’ is that abundance mindset. It is being on that vibration of abundance. It is feeling abundant, feeling grateful, loving life and being ready and open to more without being desperate for it. 

That is how to manifest money fast by developing an abundance mindset. 

Are you ready to take the next step and make an abundance mindset your new normal so you can continue to manifest money fast and know that you never need to worry about money again?

The easiest way to save money – even when money feels tight

The easiest way to save money – even when money feels tight

If you’re somebody who would LIKE to save some money, has been told they SHOULD save money, and thinks that it would be NICE to have some to spare, then this tip is for you – so stick around!  
 

I’m going to tell you an easy way to save money – even when you feel like you have none to spare.

 

WATCH THE VIDEO :

OR LISTEN TO THE AUDIO:

 

OR READ THE TRANSCRIPT:

Here’s the thing, we all know that it’s really important to start saving some money and put it aside – whether it’s for investing or just for a buffer in case of emergency. 

And also to start creating some positive energy around money. 

But when you’re so broke that you just have nothing to spare… What do you do?

What’s an easy way to save money – something you can do even when you have barely any?

I’ll tell you what I did because I went through a stage where my total income for the year was $10,000, and my rent was $320 a week! 

If you do the maths, you can work out that that doesn’t actually stack up. 

To this day, I’m not quite sure how I got through it, but I did.. and this little tip helped a lot!

The bottom line is, I was broke and I was miserable. 

I was obsessed with how broke I was. It was all that was churning through my head, night and day. I was like a human calculator that couldn’t switch off. 

I realised that I needed to change. Not just my thinking and my energy, but also my habit pattern. 

I needed an easy way to save money.

I needed to get into a pattern of putting some money aside. And showing myself that I did have money to spare. 

I did a very simple thing, and you can do it too – no matter how broke you are.

Here it is:
When you go out to buy groceries or whatever it is, use cash. Use cash for everything, and only spend notes. 

What it’ll do is it will make you think twice about breaking that note. 

It also creates all this change which you can then save, and I promise you, you will not notice the difference. 

So I did this. I spent only notes, I kept all the change and I would bank it at the end of the month. 

The first month it was about $64 which was a fortune to me at that time. 

I had $64 to put into a dedicated savings account. It made me feel rich. 

This changed my energy around money. It changed my vibration around money, my thinking pattern around money and my habit pattern around money. 

This one little thing is so powerful – and you can do it too!

Let me know in the comments – have you ever tried this? What do you do to save when money feels tight?
