Over the past several months, I’ve shown you the steps for manifesting cash in your life. In this final article of the series, I’m giving you all of the main steps again to get you started on creating financial freedom.

As I’ve said, financial freedom is not about how much money you have. It’s an awareness of being able to create any amount of money you need, whenever you need it.

Here are those 10 crucial steps:

1. Change Your Evaluation of Money
Many people see money as a necessary evil, when the truth is, money is an idea from the Universe that has allowed us to create amazing things. We’re not supposed to worship money but neither are we supposed to vilify it. We’re supposed to master it as a tool for pursuing our dreams and fulfilling our purpose.

2. Recognize that Money Is an Effect and You Are the Cause
Money follows the Law of Cause and Effect, which states that every cause has an effect, and every effect has a cause.

Money (or the lack of it) in your life is an effect that you cause to happen. It’s a direct result of what you’re doing or not doing.

Change what you’re doing, and you will get a different effect.

3. Embrace The Law of Polarity
The Law of Polarity states that if you have a need or a desire, the opportunity to fulfill that need or desire exists in your life as well. If you embrace that truth, really embrace it, you’ll keep looking until you find the opportunity.

4. Identify Your Need
Your “need” is simply the amount to the penny of your monthly bills. So pull out your checkbook or accounting software and do the calculation. If you’re already meeting your need every month, what do you want? What is your financial goal?

5. Identify Why You Need It
Why do you have those particular bills?

You need what you need for a reason. You created the circumstances in your life that you need that money for.

Chances are that situation is a repeating story in your life. Once you’re aware of the story you can take responsibility for it and, in the process, empower yourself to change.

6. Adjust Your Set Point
Most of us have a set point, an internal sense determined by our subconscious of how much money we’re “supposed” to have. If we’re thrust into sudden wealth, such as by winning the lottery, our subconscious kicks up a fuss to bring us back, like a thermostat, to where we’re “supposed” to be.

To adjust your set point, begin to reject any ideas that reinforce lack and also nurture your faith in abundance.

Two simple ways to do that is to stop using coupons and waiting for sales. If you want something now, and you have the money for it now, buy it.

7. What Is Your “Why”?
In order to keep moving forward despite difficulties or fear, you must have a compelling reason, a “why” that motivates and drives you.

Why do you want more money? What is your compelling reason for upleveling your life?

8. Become Aware of the Opportunity to Get What You Need.
The opportuntity to get what you need and want is around you right now. The problem is, the opportunity may be disguised as something unappealing, something you don’t want to do.

Below is an exercise to unmask your opportunity so that you can see its potential for you.

Step 1.
Brainstorm. Make a list of every opportunity that comes to mind that could help you meet your need or want. Don’t censor, write everything down.

Step 2.
Every opportunity has at least one challenge associated with it ~ something that makes you think the opportunity would be difficult or impossible to pull off.

Write down the challenges that arise as you think about each opportunity.

Step 3.
Now, what opportunities are those challenges presenting for you?

Each challenge you wrote down is another opportunity in disguise. It’s an opportunity for you to overcome that challenge and grow past it.

So for each of the challenges you listed in Step 2, write down the opportunity for growth that it holds for you.

9. Choose the “Right” Opportunity for You
You now have a list of unmasked opportunities. One or two of those opportunities will take you closer to your goal, while others will not. As you may have seen when you did Step 3 above, your subconscious can make opportunities seem fortunate when they’re not or unfortunate when they’re the perfect one for you.

To be sure you choose the right opportunity, run each of them through The 4 Questions.

Question 1. Is this opportunity something I want to be, do or have?
If your answer is “yes” move on to Question 2.

If you answered no, move on to your next opportunity. However, to make sure that you’re still seeing the true nature of your opportunity, look at your list of disguised opportunities in the challenges you associated with this opportunity in Step 3 above. Is one or more of those disguised opportunities something you want do, be or have? If you answered no to the opportunity, but yes to the disguised opportunity, move on to Question 2.

For instance, I had an opportunity years ago to leave the loading dock to drive a fuel truck. If I had answered Question 1, I likely would have said, “Hell no, I don’t want to drive a bomb on wheels!” However, when I acknowledged the disguised opportunity to overcome my subconscious fear of fire while doubling my income, I would have said “yes,” and moved on to Question 2.

Question 2. Will the opportunity take me closer to my goal?
If your need is $6K a month and your opportunity is a full-time job for $25/hr., it will not help you meet your goal. Instead, it will further ensnare you where you are.

If your answer is “yes” move on to Question 3.

Question 3. Is the opportunity in harmony with the laws of the universe, the primary law of more life?
“More life” means more freedom, abundance, prosperity, etc. Would the opportunity bring you more life? If your answer is “yes” move on to Question 4.

Question 4. Would this opportunity violate the rights of others?
Would it take away someone else’s choice? You’re looking for the answer “no” to Question 4.

If you get three yeses and a no, the opportunity will move you in the right direction and you can feel confident about taking it.

10. Take Action on the Opportunity.
Once you’ve determined the right opportunity for you, step into it completely, expecting success, and see it all the way through to its conclusion.

That’s it. It really is that simple. When you follow the path that I’ve laid out, doing the inner and outer work, pursuing your opportunity all the way, keeping your “why” before you, you will collect the money you need or want.

It will be there.

And you will experience that sweet taste of financial freedom at last.

In my most recent article, I shared the first of two favorite tactics of the subconscious mind to keep you where you are.

That first tactic is our tendency to look for the magic pill, the easy solution, rather than choosing the option that requires us to change and which, therefore, leads to success.

The second tactic is what I call the rabbit hole of the subconscious mind.

The Rabbit Hole
Often when people get stuck and feel they can’t move forward, they think that a block stemming from a childhood trauma of some kind is holding them back. So they start focusing on what that could be, thinking if they could just remember or figure it out, they’d be able to release the block and start moving again.

The trouble is they’ve just fallen into a trap ~ the rabbit hole of the subconscious mind. They could stay on a therapist’s couch for 20 years, looking for memories, talking about change but not making any, and, therefore, unlikely to make the real growth that leads to the big wins.

It’s Your Excuse
The thing that’s holding you back is your excuse: what you say to yourself in the moment about why you can’t do something that would take you where you want to go.

For instance, when you say, “I can’t go to the event because I don’t have the money or I don’t have the time,” that is in your imagination. You do have the money. The Law of Polarity says that’s true. If you have a desire, the way to fulfill that desire is also around you. And you have 24 hours in every day just like everybody else. You get to decide what to do with it.

Your Excuse Is Perfect for You
But you don’t see it that way, because your subconscious mind knows the perfect way to stop you. The excuse you come up with is totally logical, makes sense emotionally and is tailor made just for you. It’s so perfect, you can’t see any way around it.

And if you don’t bring in some other knowledge or perspective, you never will get around it. It’s another trap. And you will remain stuck.

How to Get Unstuck
You need people in your life, like a coach, to call you on the excuses you use to hinder your growth. You need to become aware of what you say to yourself so that you can stop believing it, and then employ helpful ways to make decisions.

For instance, if you’re considering whether to go to an event or take a class or start a project, ask yourself The 4 Questions I shared with you recently. If you get a green light, your answer is yes. Take advantage of the opportunity.

Stop making excuses and, instead, make the changes you need to make, and along the way you will grow. You will see your path lighted a step at a time before you, leading you toward your goal.

Over the past several weeks, I’ve given you all the steps you need to achieve your goal. (If you missed any of those steps, you can find them here.)

If success were only about taking the steps, we’d be done with this series, and you would be near your goal. I know that some of you are well on your way, and that’s great. The rest? Your subconscious is likely at work, keeping you where you are.

In the next couple of articles, I’m going to show you two of the subconscious’s favorite tactics. This first one you’ve likely been experiencing all your life.

The Magic Pill
In order to get what we’ve never had before, we have to change. Those changes may be in our self-perception, money attitudes, beliefs, actions and so on.

The trouble is our subconscious mind doesn’t want us to change, and we don’t really want to change either. Change requires uncertainty, vulnerability and discomfort.

So when we want something more from our lives, we tend to look for the magic pill, the magic formula, the magic system that will give it to us without our having to break a sweat.

How many programs are sitting on your shelf or in your computer unutilized? How much money have you spent chasing the next great thing?

Now, don’t get me wrong. There are absolutely phenomenal programs out there that could take your business to places you could only imagine. But those programs won’t work for you until you grow into them. It’s that plain and simple. They won’t.

What happens is, we buy one of those programs and the second we understand that we have to make a change, we stop. We put it away and say, “It didn’t work. It wasn’t the right thing for me. I’m looking for something different.”

We perpetually get on the train of looking for something different, never understanding that the external change we want actually has to come from within.

Get Off the Train
Your money, your goal is waiting for you behind that change you don’t want to make, that growth your subconscious doesn’t want you to have.

But you have the power to choose. And you can exercise that power.

Get off the train and recommit to the opportunity you identified during this series. Pursue it all the way to its conclusion, making the changes that are required and growing into your goal as you go.

If you do that, you will collect your money. The Law of Polarity says it is so.

But more importantly, you will grow. You will become the person who has that thing you want. So rather than just having a million dollars, you will be a millionaire. You won’t just have a brand-new business, you will be a business owner.

That change in you is what you really want. Don’t avoid it. Don’t run away from it.

Embrace it. Let it guide you to become the person you know in your heart you are meant to be.

So far in this series, we have taken these three steps:

Step 1. Identify your “need,” the amount to the penny of your monthly bills.
Your need is a snapshot of where you are. In order to get where you want to go, you have to start where you are. If you’re already meeting your need every month, identify what you want, your financial goal.

Step 2. Determine why you need it.
You created the situation or circumstances in your life that you need that money for. Taking responsibility for those situations can lead you to powerful life changes.

Step 3. Become aware of the right opportunity to get what you need or want.
Opportunities are all around you. One or two will lead you to your goal, but others will not. Over the past several weeks, I helped you determine the best opportunity for you. (If you missed any articles in this series, you can find them here.)

As I’ve said, the right opportunity + action = success. This leads us to Step 4, which is:

Step 4. Take action on the opportunity.

Once you’ve determined the right opportunity, step into it completely and see it all the way through to its conclusion.

You probably won’t know exactly how or under which circumstances the opportunity will bring you what you want, and this is where people falter. Before they step into the opportunity, they want to know what’s going to happen. What will be required of them? But it’s just not possible to know that.

In order to achieve something you’ve never had before, you have to grow, you have to face some challenges and you have to change. You couldn’t possibly know in advance what those changes will be. Trying to imagine and control those future changes will only hold you back because that creates doubt, fear, and anxiety. Before you know it, you’re not doing anything but sitting around thinking about what you know you should be doing.

You need to step into the opportunity, with faith, trusting the Law of Polarity, which states that the money you need is around you right now. You did the footwork, as I showed you to do, to find that perfect opportunity for you, so now you just have to trust the universe and yourself.

Expect Success

When you step into the opportunity, expect success.

Expecting success actually changes your actions. You’re willing to do much more than if you were harboring doubt. Therefore, your expectation of success actually helps to create it. For instance, if you expect your teleseminar to fill, you’ll keep working up to the very last minute. You won’t give up, saying, “I guess it wasn’t meant to be.”

Instead, you’ll say, “My teleseminar is filling. I know it is. I’m going to keep at it until it does.”

And guess what happens? You brim with ideas and actions, the universe starts to help you and your teleseminar fills because failure was never an option.

As I’ve said, people don’t fail, they quit.

When you step out in faith, expecting success, and pursue your opportunity all the way to its conclusion, you will collect the money you need.

It will be there. That’s the promise of the Law of Polarity. Like gravity it absolutely never fails.
