Day 35 on my journey: Prosperity buddy…

On this day I had my first chat with my prosperity buddy. We were finally able to agree on a time. All through the conversation, there was a terrible static. I have a really cheap headphone with a microphone. I think it must have been that causing the terrible noise. I hope to get another, better one soon.

We talked about the past and our present situation. It was really nice to talk to her. This is an important milestone for me. I mean in terms of connecting to others. We’re planning to have a chat every week or every two weeks.

I worked on my website’s redesign some more. It is close to finished. For some reason I am a bit apprehensive to uploading the new pages. I’m sure it’ll be fine, but I don’t feel confident enough.

A feeling of overwhelm is kreeping in again. There is so much I would like to do, but I just feel like there’s not enough time.

I have some great information and advice on dealing with overwhelm.

Time to get that out of the closet and implement it…

Day 17 on my journey: Focusing on prosperity

I did a BSFF session this morning focusing on prosperity… we’ll see what happens.

All I know is that what Joan suggested about connecting to people, is working. I am making more money and I am not yet thinking about how to spend it… wooha!

I wanted to continue reading the e-book on How to work when and where I wanted, but I got caught up in my web redesign again. I think I’ve finally come up with a color scheme I like. I just need to add the finishing touches and get the ball rolling.

I really hope to attract a lot of people to my site. Although to be honest I don’t know whether or not I would be able to handle all the extra attention. At the moment I don’t have that many people contacting me through my site even though I have quite an average amount of visitors. I think that the fact that I am some what afraid to get in touch with a lot of people is keeping them back from contacting me.
In my new design I am going to make it easier for people to contact me. I can always change it again, should I get really uncomfortable getting a lot of email.

The fact that I don’t really look forward to getting too much mail, is another proof of why I am in the situation I am in. I should open up to others more… I am sure that the moment I can do that a debt free prosperous life is just around the corner…

Day 6 on my journey: My prosperity buddy

Today I received an email from my prosperity buddy. She told me her story and her goals. I replied and asked her a few questions.

I am not to sure how the buddy system works. I haven’t done it before, so we’ll see what happens. We’ll be chatting every week to keep each other updated on our progress.

I told my prosperity buddy that my ultimate goal is to live a debt free prosperous life. What this means to me is that I can go to sleep at night without worrying about whether or not I can pay my bills, because I know my cash flow and my beliefs are aligned with abundance.

I already learned that being prosperous has nothing to do with money. “Prosperity is an inside job”. Joan Sotkin wrote a book on that. When you believe that what you have is more than enough and you’re grateful for everything you already have, you will attract more into your life to feel grateful for and hence live a prosperous life.

At the moment I have quite a high amount of debt. I don’t really know how I am going to pay it all back, but I just feel that I will. Whereas before, I thought I would never get rid of my debts.

There are a lot of people out there who seem to be willing to help you make money. The famous Get-Rich_Quick schemes or should I say scams? There is no such thing as getting rich quick. At least not for the majority of people.

As long as you are in a certain mindset of either not enough or just enough it doesn’t matter how much you make it will either never be enough or it will be just enough. With the help of Joan during this “Build Your Money Muscles for Financial Strength & Security” I am learning to transform my mindset of borderline just enough into more than enough. That is the only way I can ever start my debt free prosperous living…

I am looking forward to interacting with my prosperity buddy. It seems that we share interests, so that makes my journey even more enjoyable…

Day 5 on my journey: First contact with my prosperity buddy…

I received a message from my hopefully future prosperity buddy. We now need to decide on how we want to do this. From what I understand we are supposed to support each other, on this journey, in reaching our goals.

We had a teleclass today that was very helpful. It’s great to listen to other people and know that I am not alone. So many people, especially in this time of economic crisis, are going through some fear issues. I can’t really relate much to the fear of loosing money, because I am outside of the US and here in the Middle East I have not noticed much of the economic trouble. Although I have noticed that some of the prizes for groceries have gone up.

I am on a budget and it’s not been easy to stay on budget lately, but somehow I am always able to get what we need. So I am very grateful for that.

I didn’t spend that much money today. I bought some gas, that’s the third time this week. My car is drinking the fuel… I do a lot of driving and so does my husband. He has his own car, but sometimes drives mine, because it’s in better condition. I love my car. It’s one of the miracles I manifested.

Anyway now that I am keeping track of my cash flow I know that I’ve been to the gas station three times already this week. Normally I would have no clue. Now at least at the end of the month I can see how much I spend on gas and include that in my budget. I can let my husband know, so he can give me the money upfront instead of every time I need gas. It’ll be good for him to know as well how much money we spend of gas and other stuff for that matter…

I’ve had enough!!!

My journey to debt free prosperous living is starting today. I’m really excited, but I’ve also had enough.

I’ve had enough of:

• having debts
• worrying about money
• not being able to just buy what I want to buy
• not being financially free
• not having any personal savings
• not being able to just go out and see a movie with my friends or kids

This list could go on and on, but I’ll keep it at that.

I’ve come a long way though. My situation used to be worse. I have done quite some soul searching and changed a few of my bad money habits, but I realized that I couldn’t do it alone any more. I needed help, so I joined Joan Sotkin’s program called “Build Your Money Muscles for Financial Strength & Security”.

Today is my first day of 6 months of support on my journey to debt free prosperous living. I foresee that at the end of the 6 months I’ll at least feel more prosperous. I hope to pay off all my debts in these 6 months. With my current mind set that has just not been possible so far, but I am 100% sure I’ll be well on my way at the end of the 6 months…

Joan is such a generous and wonderful person. I know she wants me to succeed and I will. I bought a new computer today and was busy setting it up half of the day. It’s almost 1:00am and I’m still up downloading the material in the program and the software I need to be able to read and listen to all the info.

The program is set up in a way that helps you stay on track and slowly morphs you into someone with better money habits. Every month more info is added, so you are led on a path to debt free prosperous living with the support of Joan, but also with the support of all the other people who join the program every day.

In a few days I’ll join a group of people on the same journey as me, on Facebook. I can’t wait to meet with others so we can help each other adapt to a more prosperous way of living.

This first month I received Joan’s award winning book “Build Your Money Muscles”, a workbook, around 10 audio files, worksheets, links to sites where I can learn more about money management, information about two techniques I can use to get rid of limiting believes and blocks, bonuses… just to much to mention.

Every day I’ll read something, listen to the audio, follow the workbook and just take my time to get used to all the new habits… this is not a get-rich-quick scheme so I have to take my time…

I’m making this blog my homepage so It’ll be easier to remember to write something in my prosperity journal or just ramble on about whatever I feel like sharing.

This is going to be a great journey, I can FEEL IT!!!

It’s my intention to use this blog to keep track of my progress. I have noticed that I am not really the type to write on paper. I prefer doing it online… I love being on the Internet, so I’ll keep my journal here.

You are more than welcome to follow me on my journey…
