On this episode I wanted to highlight the really cool resources that I ran into while combing through the Internet. I sorted through all the garbage that was being marketed on this insane cyber Monday weekend. 

I think you’ll get a lot of value out of the resources I talked about in the episode. Some of them cost a little bit of money and the other ones are totally free so even the ones that are costing a little bit of money, the value is just jampacked in there so I feel very comfortable referring you to these resources.

Often there are so many things pulling at your attention that it can be challenging to prioritize the important ones.

The main focus should be the marketing message. It has the most significant impact on your ability to make money.

The best way to describe what marketing messages are is by describing what marketing is not.  Marketing messaged is not a company logo, company name, or website color theme.  It isn't even the advertising words you write for a facebook ad.

The marketing message is what you are communicating to the world.  The message is designed to alter the belief system of the person receiving it.  When a person hears your marketing message, the recipient must believe your message is more real than what they previously found to be true.  

Russel Brunson, in his book "Dot Com Secrets," breaks down a compelling marketing message into three parts in his dotcom secrets book.  

The message must demonstrate the vehicle of truth works, assure the person they are capable of driving the vehicle of truth, and assure the person they have all the resources they need while driving the vehicle of truth.

You could think of this as an actual car. Does the car do what it says it will do?  Can you operate the vehicle with your current skills? Does the car have gas in the tank, oil in the engine, and a service warranty for routine maintenance?  

With those components in place, your marketing message will be well received.   Your ability to serve your customers will increase because the people receptive to your message will want to work with you.

Surely you could argue there are other important tasks.  My challenge to you is only to delegate the rest and focus on revenue-generating activities at the beginning.  Russel Brunson calls this the who not the how.  Focus on whom you need to get things done, not the how.

Welcome to part 4 on tips you can use to monetize your programming skills. As software developers, our challenge is complicated because not only do we need to understand code, but we must also understand how to monetize our skills. Unfortunately, the resources for learning how to monetize our skills are slim, so I was inspired to make this series for the community. The inspiration for this content comes from the podcast episode Jordan Belfort hosted with Grant Cardone.

Concept #1: The trick about sales

The trick is there is no trick.  Everyone you connect with has an interest or need.  Your job is to determine what level of interest or need the potential client has.  On a scale of one to ten, that person's attention will always sit somewhere on that scale.  Until you connect with them, you never know where the potential client sits.  Each product you sell will have a different sliding scale of interest.

The other piece of the puzzle is to determine if the person has the authority to make a decision.  If you want to see how this works, place yourself in a buyer's position with someone else's offer, and go through their sales process to the point where they ask for payment.  Then tell them you need to consult your partner and see how they respond.  Going through someone else's sales process is called offer hacking and is highly recommended if you want to get some ideas for how to build your offer.  People invest millions of dollars into their sales sequence.  You can learn a lot from this process.

Concept #2:  Awareness

Each platform you advertise on has its terms of use.  Make sure you are abiding by the terms of use.  Also, depending on the geographic location of the prospect, there may be rules according to that jurisdiction.  Make sure you know how to navigate the environment you operate in and the words you are allowed to use in your sales copy.

Concept #3:  Getting rich

You can get rich working hard, but you can't stay rich working hard.  The types of investments you make will transition into endgame.  Having a plan with the end in mind will help you know when the transition becomes appropriate.  The example they had in the podcast was never to buy a single family home.  Instead, stack your cash until you can afford a multi-family building then rent where you live from that building along with your tenants.

Concept #4:  The purpose of work

Once you have made the money of multiple lifetimes, why should you still work?  The consensus on the podcast was an idle mind is the devil's playground.  Work keeps you focused, humble, and out of trouble.

Concept #5:  Spending cash

If you must buy things that don't make cashflow, make sure to use the money from your existing cashflow.  The rule is, do not use the money you work hard to purchase silly crap.

Concept #6:  How to make money

The making of money only occurs when a negotiation becomes materialized, and both parties formalize the agreement.  Once the opportunity to negotiate is over, the moment to renegotiate is not likely to appear again, if ever.  I have personally experienced this where an agreement was made and very quickly. I found out I undersold myself.  Know your worth, put your energy into the negotiation.

Welcome to part 3 on tips you can use to monetize your programming skills.  These nuggets were inspired from the podcast episode Jordan Belfort hosted with Grant Cardone.

Stay tuned for part 4, where we dive into more golden nuggets.

Concept #1: How to prioritize your capital

Invest in yourself at the beginning.  The health of your business is dependent on your mental health and outlook on life.  Do whatever it takes to clean yourself up and make yourself feel great.  You can see what you value by auditing your spending.  If your audit results show money allocated towards things that rust, rott, or depreciate as soon as you buy them, then it might be stupid crap.  I am 100% guilty of pulling this trick on myself and am continually auditing my spending habits to eradicate poor allocations.  Focus on placing money towards improving yourself or on things that generate cash flow.  Invest in your brand if you have transcended the discipline of optimized capital allocation.  As all skillsets are progressing towards becoming a commodity, the brand will become the ultimate differentiator.

Concept #2: Losen up

Everything we do in life is sales. Selling requires an adaptive mind.  When you are tense, your ability to be adaptive becomes hindered.

Concept #3: Operate within a framework

Set your goals and create a system of accountability.  Accountability is easy to accomplish when you review them often.  Create the metrics you want to measure. You can not manage what you do not measure.  If you desire freedom, your behavior requires structure; stucture sets you free.

Concept #4: Compare your self to your yester self

If you are not where you want to be, just realized only you are capable of changing your position on the continuum between noob and expert.  Comparing yourself with other people does not help your effort to improve.  Compare your self to your yester self.

Welcome to part 2 on tips you can use to monetize your programming skills.

Stay tuned for part 3, where we dive into more golden nuggets

Concept #1: Choose to switch on suffer mode
Going into suffer mode means you choose to suffer today for a future gain.  It is the concept of pruning the todo list because you have clarity on a goal you want to reach and clarity on what needs removal from current processes accelerate goal achievement  It is the thing we do not want to do to our family, but If we do it now, we will never have to do this again.

Concept #2: Cash is trash, cash flow is king
Only put money into things that return you cash.  Going back to suffer mode, if you have the clarity on what will provide cash flow, you will have clarity on how to deploy your capital.  This step requires discipline but makes a lot of sense.

Concept #3: No sales strategy works if there is no one to share that message with
Our first goal is to get a funnel and consistently fill it up, which is known as building traffic online.  Once we get a funnel and traffic, then we can start to worry about the sales tactics.  Often people will begin the optimization process to build out the strategy before they consistently have traffic, and according to this nugget, that is plain wrong to build a plan when traffic is still the issue.  You can even make sales at this step. The process might not be optimal at this point; do not worry, trust the process, and focus on first things first.  First things first, we must focus on building consistent traffic.

Concept #4: Be good at what you say
After you have traffic, you can start to integrate strategy.  Part of the strategy is to make sure you are good at what you say.   Being good at what you say can manifest in a few forms.  One way could be with the copy you use in your content for SEO purposes. It could also relate to the message you broadcast to your audience or even the language you choose during a sales/coaching phone call.

Concept #5: The one skill you want
If you could make one wish, the argument here is that you should wish for the skill to move through the traffic.  Once your funnel is consistently full, you must figure out how to leverage that traffic as well as optimize the contact.  I am pretty sure there are entire books written on this subject.  One takeaway for me is the order of operations and how moving through the traffic should be prioritized.  Another takeaway for me is building a machine that can operate at scale.  If you can get the traffic and effectively leverage it, can you triple the traffic and get similar or better results?

Concept #6: Charity selling
Help another person sell, go into charity mode and help someone else if you are building skills or trying to get out of a slump.  One way of doing this is to help build someone else's brand, which could manifest in social media promotion or affiliate marketing promotion.  The rationale behind this concept was not immediately apparent to me, but it does make sense the more I think about it.  The ninja thing happening here is you are going out of your way to curate value for your audience, and it gets rid of the ego. For me, I like the concept of building relationships with other content creators in the niche.

Let's talk about the pain associated with failure. That pain we feel is a tool we can use to create lasting change in our lives.  Lasting change is what helps us become our future desired selves.   

Sometimes we might not have clarity on what we want for our future self.  If you lack that clarity, begin with writing down on paper your vision and recognize that you need to revisit that paper often. 

A few days ago, I shared with you the news about record suicide rates associated with IIT student academic failure.  I can not fathom the pain from failure that would make me want to end my life.  

I sincerely believe as a global culture, we need to work on our acceptance of failure.  That pain is a good thing.  It is tailored precisely to the skills we need to build to become successful.   

Pain is our most excellent learning tool.   Own your failure.   The lessons and skills we learn to overcome failure is a process. We will tell stories about the process for the rest of our life.  

Our pain is our story, and is what gives us our unique life experience. What is even more amazing is that no person entirely experiences the chain of pain we each endure because no one fails as we do.  

We all have a unique life experience peppered with failure and triumph.  

If you believe that last statement, then you must also think that the chain of failure is what gives us the unique skill set we need to position yourself for the success of our desired future self.  

Isn't that freakin liberating.  Your failures are an opportunity for greatness and the exact key you seek to unlock the success you want.   Wasted potential is accepting defeat.   

You are on this planet for a reason.  Own your life experience by owning the failure.  See the opportunity your pain provides and lean into it.  Enjoy the skills you build on overcoming your failure.  

Don't forget to document the journey, so you never forget how your greatness became.

The manifesto of the profitable python is to help you grow and monetize your programming skills.  Eventually, you will need an audience to deliver your product or service to, and the best day to start building that list is today.

You are building your audience any way you look at it.  How well you are doing is a different story.  I want to talk with you today on some ideas that have worked for me that you can steal to upgrade your business.  By no means am I saying that this is the only way to do it, but it has served me well in building an email list of people in my niche?

I am curious about what is working for you.  If you are an entrepreneur type, you most likely have been working on building your audience.

One thing that works for me is the podcast.  If you are looking to build an audience, pick a niche and go set up a podcast on anchor.fm

Have you set up your email list?  My experience so far is mail chimp integrates nicely with wix.com or squarespace.com.  I am sure there is a better way, but if you want something comfortable to pop something up and get to work, those are all excellent options.

You also want to set up a lead magnet to exchange with someone for their email.  I set up a lead magnet that delivers a mini-email course on getting freelance clients that drip over five days.

The benefit of doing this is you build your email list, which allows you a lot of freedom when cultivating your audience.

Student suicide, due to academic failure, has spiked in India.  Since when has failure become something we feel like we must punish ourselves for?

If you are contemplating suicide, I need to stop you right now and tell you that I CARE ABOUT YOU.

Please get counsel from a professional at the international suicide hotline resource.  http://ibpf.org/resource/list-international-suicide-hotlines

I read about the sad news in an article posted by business insider 11.22.2019.

https://www.businessinsider.in/india/news/student-suicides-spike-significantly-at-iit-delhi-iit-hyderabad-iit-madras-iit-guwahati/articleshow/72184388.cms

Academic failure?!?!  Failure is a good thing. It is what perpetuates human growth.  We, as humans, must fail and continually maintain imbalance to learn and move forward.

I used to sell books door to door.  Every "no" got me closer to a "yes."

Failure is a good thing.  Our goal is to make fewer mistakes in life, but eliminating failure is the holy grail we will never find.

If I didn't allow myself to fail, I wouldn't be the person I am today.  You got to be able to run experiments to see what works and what doesn't.

How do we un- f*%$ this situation where academic failure is something we need to punish ourselves for?

I hope as a tech community. We can help change the perception of failure.  I hear this topic and can't refuse to take the opportunity to share this information and hopefully trigger some action to combat this atrocious culture around failure being negative.

We ultimately only have control over ourselves and how we respond to things, but I must also reiterate we are responsible for each other.  Regardless of race, religion, sex, we need to remind our neighbors that we care for them and love them.

If we don't tell our neighbors that we love them, how do they know that we love them?   We need to become more significant than this problem if we are going to survive.  I can only hope that this trend reverses.  Please allow me to reiterate here that I sincerely love each one of you.  Thank you for your attention. My gratitude is overflowing.

Would you take payment from someone if they asked you to do their homework for them that did not give you credit?  

I recently ran this poll on IG, and the results shocked me.  A vast majority would take payment and effectively help the student cheat. The more I think about it, the more conflicted I get.

Are the incentives all messed up on the freelancing platforms?  If you don't give the client what they want, then you get a bad review.  Bad reviews will haunt you the reset of your python coaching career.  If you choose to have integrity, then you possibly do not get paid. 

If my family must eat, do I sell my integrity to the highest bidder, or do we starve together so I may preserve my integrity?

If you were an open-source contributor and someone took my work and called it their own, that would undoubtedly be wrong.  

The fraud homework submission could be the agent of change that moved the curve so abruptly that someone on the tail suffers from having integrity.    

You could certainly argue this the other way. Let's take Walmart, for example.  If someone went there and purchased alcohol, but their doctor told them if they drank alcohol, their kidneys would fail, and they would likely die.  Is it Walmart's job to police everyone?  Is it their job to probe your medical records to make sure you can drink that alcohol?  In this case your integrity might just get you in trouble. 

My goodness, the more I think about this, I understand how I would deal with it.  The way I see it, my character is on the line, nothing else matters.  If my character is one of high integrity, then I should choose to work with the student in a way that guides them to the right answer.  I want to be responsible for being the agent of change that made the student better.  Doing their homework for them is not helping the student, ultimately it will catch up to them at test time or when they get a job and have no clue how to execute.

After reflecting on this with you publicly, I keep getting reminded of how important it is to understand how we chose to act and ultimately brand ourselves.  

No one may finally know about the homework submission except the client and the tutor.  What matters more is the choice you make as the tutor.

Some guidance that was given to me when situations like this arise is to ask yourself if this story becomes published in the Wallstreet journal tomorrow, how would you want the story to play out?  Approaching life with that question simplifies decisions when integrity is on the line.

I want to talk to you about business building and an idea on how to prioritize your ideas.

Before I jump into this topic, I want to share my gratitude towards the audience that continues to support the podcast. Thank you, I am honored to serve you.

If you folks are looking for some ideas, you need to check out the Noah Kagan Presents show (see iTunes link below).  A recent episode they made that caught my attention is the episode "7 businesses I can't believe anyone has started yet".  You need to check out that episode if you want some ideas for building a software business.  The significant nugget I got from that episode is when it comes to plans for building startups they recommend to solve a problem you have first.  I love that concept, and I am sure it is not foreign to you either.

Part of my role I chose to take on when hosting the profitable python show is to not only share my experience to help you make fewer mistakes but also to make sure you are aware of excellent resources that I come across and the Noah Kagan show is undoubtedly something I recommend you consider.

The other thing I wanted to mention to you is the 100 days of code challenge.  One hundred days from today is the leap year day of 2020.  Think about where you want to be in 100 days.  If you tried to put in the work, you could have learned a new programming language.  You could have also gone deeper into an area of expertise you have already developed. The 100 days challenge doesn't only pertain to code. You could choose to develop habits in other areas of your life. 

If you haven't guessed yet, I love the 100 days code challenge.  It is long enough where you can get some immersion in a focused area but short enough where the risk is low if you pick a  topic that ends up not being something you don't want to pursue.  

Consider getting some ideas from the Noah Kagan show, then spend the next 100 days building out that software and watch how much you will grow in 100 days.  Who knows?!  It could be the critical link in the chain you need to upgrade your career or brand awareness.  There is nothing magical about the 100 days challenge; it just a way to gamify a good habit.  One thing that is guaranteed is if you don't engage in the daily sharpening of you saw like the 100 days challenge, your personal growth is guaranteed to have a limited trajectory.

I want to share with you an experience I had today.  

Today I interviewed someone on the podcast who works at Lyft in the software development space. Beautiful things happen when you get an intimate conversation focused on python programming.

The reason that I bring this up is to reflect on the last 30 episodes.  All of these episodes constitute a library of expert teaching that no single person could deliver to you in a classroom or boot camp.

I couldn't be more pleased with the decision I made to pull the trigger and start the podcast.  If you are looking for a way to expand your network and get on amazing people's calendars, consider starting a podcast.

There are significant wins you can experience with making a podcast.  You get to meet amazing people.  You get to drive the conversation and curate content for your audience.  You get to build a personal brand.

Going forward with the podcast, I am trying to branch out into more business and leadership insight while curating the content in a way that python developers benefit most.

I look forward to continuing to lead as a change agent in the python training space that curates high-quality content for you.  

I forgot to mention, not only do I enjoy writing code, it saved my life.  Some of you may know I started my engineering career in the oil and gas industry during the bust of 2016.  I thought I had landed my dream job.  Little did I know, but ten months later, I would be laid off along with 2000 other people.  The scenario got a little worse because the entry-level jobs I was applying for were also the same jobs people with ten years of experience were also trying to land.  

There was no way I was going to break through the recruiter's stack of resumes using a traditional approach.  Upon realizing that truth,  I got serious about developing my programming skills by practicing many hours per day and cultivating relationships that would ultimately lead to freelancing clients.  After two months of solid face to face networking, I ended up landing a series of opportunities that put nearly 150k into my bank account over the next two years.  Not only did I acquire that income, but I cultivated relationships that ultimately landed me a full-time position with a fantastic opportunity.

Writing code wasn't always the driver of how the money got in my bank account.  It took a massive layoff at my dream job to push me out of my comfort zone and learn software development skills deeply.  I sincerely believe I wouldn't have the podcast today if it weren't for the layoff.  The layoff triggered a series of events that ultimately changed the trajectory of my life experience. I could not have imagined back in 2016 how things would have transpired, including operating my own freelancing business and meeting amazing humans along the way.  

I hope you are leveraging my experience to build your dreams as a software developer and freelancer.

I want to talk to you about consistency. My mind is on this topic today because of a story I heard about a python coder in Hong Kong.  

Meet Tony.  This guy tweets at me every day with his 100 days of code challenge progress.  He does this consistently even though his city is burning.  Wow.

First of all, how thankful are we in the states that Hong Kong is not our reality.  I sure reflected on this story and fell very humbled. The other thing that comes to mind is how amazing is this guy's commitment to self-improvement in the face of disaster.   If you get this message, Tony, all I have to say is it's going to pay off in a big way to learn software development skills.

The big lesson I am getting from this story is gratitude and inspiration.  I can't think of a good excuse to stop being consistent with my progress towards my goals.    

As a sidebar, the 100days of code challenge is an excellent way to invest in yourself.  The best type of investment is in yourself, and the 100 day code challenge is precisely that.  If you want accountability with the challenge tweet @pypodcast your progress, we are routing for you.

My last message to the readers is to make sure you reach out to Tony with encouragement.  Ask yourself, and please comment if you have ideas on how we can help as a community with the scenario in Hong Kong.    If I was a young person trying to cut my teeth in software development and having the challenge of political unrest, it makes me think gratitude and a bigger purpose.  

I am embarrassed to say this, but I sincerely wish I had more ability to help!   Please comment or share this if you have ideas on how to help people in Tony's situation.

I have been working on a code project for the past three weeks using flutter and dart to make an android app that leverages machine learning.  The experience has been a challenge!

The issue I was having for the last 40 hours was integrating firebase with the flutter.  I spent hours watching videos, reading documentation, starting and restarting projects probably 50 times.  I couldn't get the damn to thing to work!  There was a handful of times I felt like giving up, but I didn't give up.

Today I finally broke through.  I began to reflect on how persistence played a massive role in my ability to get what I want in life.

At the moment, things may seem like there is not anything good going on, but persistence pays.  Often when we want to quit, we are so close to winning.   I wonder how I would mentally be if I had accepted defeat when the solution was just a few hard pushes away.

I wanted to share this story with you because I am sure you have had moments like this, too, or you may find one on the horizon.

The lesson here is to stick it out.  As Marie Forleo states, "Everything is figure outable."  Often we need to be creative with our problem-solving techniques.  The rewards at the end of the persistence tunnel are waiting for us.  The funny part is as soon as we get stuck and then unstuck, we look back and see it was just a speed bump preparing us for the next barrier we face at a later date.  Tis is the life of a programmer.

Have you experienced something like this?  Did sticking it out eventually pay off or not?

How much do you like to read each day?  Statistica shows that the average American's daily reading is about 15 minutes per day.  They also show that 75% of Americans finish the book.

I am not trying to lecture here. I enjoy reading because of how it has helped me grow, so I wanted to share this info with you.

I highly recommend reading books on a subject that will help you grow your strengths.  If you want to get a deeper understanding of the content, consider creating content around the learning nuggets that you collect. The last step in the internalization equation would be to teach the material then.  If you need some ideas for how to do this, consider making a podcast or blog.  If you have ever wanted to be a content creator but felt it would be hard to be prolific, consider integrating reading as a core daily habit.

Not all books are created equal.  I would recommend to orient the books you read towards the areas in your life you want to get a more in-depth learning experience.  Seek out books that have reviews that show the content has practical and actionable content.

Audiobooks are another cool way to download the content into your brain.  Be careful with audiobooks, though, because it can be easy to veg out a possibly becoming a waste of your precious time.  Also, I would personally advise against listening to the books  at 3X speed.  If you want to practice patience, consider slowing it down lower than 1X.  You don't need to consume a book a day to get the impact you seek from the material.

Whatever you chose to do, make sure to allocate time to internalize the information by implementing it into your life.

What is your reading plan going into 2020?  Tweet @pypodcast to report your reading adventures. I look forward to learning from your experience.

What are you doing to optimize your online presence?

I can help you answer by bringing you a great interview I made with a freelance python developer and tutorial maker for realpython.com named Vuyisile Ndlovu.  Stay tuned with Vuyisile Ndlovu's podcast episode that will be released very soon.

Vuyisile Ndlovu talks about how getting clients is relatively easy when you have trust.  Building your online presence helps establish this trust before you ever get in front of the customer by simply creating your online presence.

I ask you again!  What are you doing to optimize your online presence?

I have some ideas for you if you would like to hear them.  First of all, check out Gary Vaynerchuk.  He is the OG King of online brand building.

Gary is famous for taking a keynote speech and slicing it into 30 pieces of content.  We might not have the resources to do exactly that, but we can try something similar. 

My formula is to record a video/audio podcast and then listen back to the audio and braindump that summary and ideas onto a notepad.  Some times you will find gaps in the sound that you want to expand on.  What you have here is a blog that accompanies the podcast.  Steal this idea and start the upgrade of your online presence immediately.

Einstein said the 8th wonder of the world is compounding interest.  

What he is talking about is the consequences of time value. 

If you understand time value, which is simple elementary math, you know all the math you will ever need in life.  The decisions we make today either payout long term in our favor or result in a massive loss to our future self.  

In either case, we earn interest on those decisions, and the good news is we control a lot of the factors of the outcome. Leverage the 8th wonder of the world and build the life you want.

You are a trillion-dollar software developer whether or not you like it. I am not talking about writing more Javascript or Python3. What I am talking about is the software that runs in your mind.

Before we can start having impact with others, we need to build a foundation for our own habits.  Stephen Covey talks about this in his 7 Habits book.

You must adopt the mindset of agreeing with this statement:  I am in life right now as a direct result of the summation all decisions I have made up in life up to this point.

We are all team members, either in our family, our marriage, our the projects we collaborate on at work.  Before we can have impact among our team we must have stability in our own independence.

Teams operate on a healthier level when everyone contributing has internalized their role as an independent thinker.  We might not agree with what other people are saying but we get to choose how we respond.   It's empowering to know that we all have that gap between action and reaction which is our choice of response.

this is why it is so important to prioritize yourself before you can be good to others.  When you are practicing independence you are proactive, you are putting energy into planning and focusing on congruency with your daily actions in relation to your goals.  This is called extreme ownership.

Effective, independent people begin with the end in mind by planning for the future.  When you have a team (or a marriage) the planning really benefits from having a materialized form.   This doesn't have to be fancy just get a piece of paper and write them down and review often.

The other piece of being independent is executing on first things first.  It is hard to prioritize the week when there is no end in mind (a mission and vision for the future).

Being independent is going to help in work and in life.  When you are more in tune with your vision it gives meaning to each weeks planning effort.  Often when we feel less productive on a give week, it just mains we our not aligned with our mission.  the good news realignment is something only you control and it starts by just putting in the work, effectively you can fix this as soon as you choose to.

Do you believe you are the only one to blame for your success and failure?  Do your goals exists on paper?  Are you re-visiting your goals often and organizing your calendar to execute on the most important activity that will push you closer to your goals?  If you anything like me that answer changes from week to week but the good news is if we don't like the answer we know who to hunt down to get it fixed.

The homework for this post is to work on becoming more independent by doing the following activities.  What is most important is to do each of these steps now.  You are placing these foundational stones in place, you are not cementing them in yet so they can be adjusted.

Flip that beast mode switch on and lets get to work on the most important things.

I confidently believe we all can have what we want in life. That does not mean we will get it as fast as we want nor does it suggest our actions are aligned with what we are striving to achieve.

If your actions do not align with your vision for abundance you are actually sitting on the sidelines of life watching people.

It is not easy to maintain abundance mindset when things don’t go our way. We need to just remind ourselves when we start to see the bad in a situation remember how much we have to be thankful for. Some people go as far as maintaining a gratitude journal.

If you manage to maintain an abundance mindset there are some major benefits that I think you will find very helpful to your journey.

Lets say you are a entrepreneur looking for a place to start your McDonald's burger shop. If you had an abundance mindset you would probably look for another Burger shop to open your new location next to. Since you have the abundance mindset the competition would inspire you to get a piece of the pie. If your abundance mindset was lacking you would probably not place your shop there and potentially miss out on a lot of business.

Let me tell you a personal story. At one moment in my life after I graduated from college I found major abundance with a new fortune 500 job. 10 months later I got wrapped up in a 2,000 person layoff due to a crash in the oil price. I had a terrible mindset that couldn’t see any abundance. What a roller coaster!

I kicked and screamed about the situation and eventually decided to start a freelancing business from scratch. At one point I even accumulated over 100k revenue through the freelancing business and still I could not find abundance and that is because I chose to wear the crappy sunglasses. How insane is that? If I could have just seen how much abundance there was around me I would have had an even bigger business success and probably a lot faster. Even after choosing to not see abundance I was eventually forced to find it. My hard work paid off, I had a successful business and as a result I even got an amazing full time job offer.

I tell you this story not to brag but to offer you some genuine insight on the impact of your world view and how it carries you through life. Thankfulness was forced upon me and I could not be happier. Now I choose to see abundance.

Look at your niche. Is there a ton of competition? I see the competition as a good thing. That means there is money happening there and a growing opportunity. Our job is to maintain a perception of what is true and the truth is folks abundance is all around us.

In order to find the abundance, our actions need to align with our desires. That is the key to getting what you want.

Ask yourself, do you believe there is more abundance in the world than what you could consume in a lifetime? Do your actions align with your desires to go get that abundance? Answer those questions and if you don’t like the answer make the adjustments in your life to get back on track.
