Step One: Decide How Much Money You Want


Seems simple enough doesn’t it?

Step One: Decide how much money you want.

So, why haven’t you done it yet?

Why haven’t you made the decision, with 100% clarity and certainty?

What are you really resisting?

Because this is Step One, and you can’t go around it or avoid it.

Step One is so key that, next month, I’m going to spend two FULL days on this topic with my Mastermind of visionary entrepreneurs.

[Called “Fund Your Freedom”, it’s the 1st of 12 in-depth modules that make up my “Neagle Code MasterMind” … and it’s foundational work required for any person wanting to Master the Massive Cash Injection.]

Begin today with the exercise detailed in my article below.

And then let me know exactly where you are!

“Just Believe”,

P.S. To find out more about my “Neagle Code MasterMind”, please reach out to my lead coach, Steph Tuss, at 888-720-7117 Ext 7. Do not be afraid to call. There is no shame in asking for help, or in imagining & exploring what could be.

P.P.S. DON’T MISS THIS: I’m participating this week in a no-cost virtual program called “Event Money Machine”, teaching entrepreneurs how to put on their own Live Events to create incredible profits. Register as my guest here. There is no cost for you attend, yet this information has allowed me to impact many lives, as well as add millions to my bank account. If you desire to do the same, it wouldn’t make any sense to miss this program.


Master the Cash Injection: Step One

Last time, I started sharing with you a formula for bringing in any amount of money you choose.

I told you that before employing the formula, you must put some faith in the Law of Polarity; that is, you have to be willing to believe that what you want already exists around you.

Today, we’re moving on to step one of the equation.

Step One: Decide How Much Money You Want

Deciding how much money you want sounds simple, but there are several imperative aspects to that decision.

1. First, think about how much money would make a significant difference in your life right now.

2. That amount of money must be real to you. It has to be an amount that you can actually see yourself receiving. (I’ll say more about this later.)

3. Your figure must be exact, down to the penny. That way you can measure what you’re doing and the amount of money that’s coming in.

4. Know why you want that amount of money. Is it for a down payment? A medical bill? Your child’s tuition? If you choose an income goal, for instance, you want to make an additional $20,000 this year, know what you would do with the extra income.

Don’t Rewrite the Equation

Whenever I share this formula, right away some people start skipping the steps. They don’t want to do something because it’s uncomfortable, or they don’t find it inspiring.

If you leave out one of the principles, either in mindset or the practical things you have to do, the process won’t work.

So, follow the formula as I lay it out for you, step by step.

Start Where You Actually Are

I tell my MasterMind members that they have to know two things in order to succeed: they have to know where they are and where they’re going. The most important thing is to know where you are.>

If you can only see yourself receiving $1,000, so be it. That’s where you are. As you’ll find in the following story, the figure you start with is only the beginning.

When my mentor, Bob Proctor, met his wife Linda two decades ago, she was making about $29,000 a year.

She asked him, “Do you really believe that I can increase my income?”

He replied, “What’s the most you’ve ever made?”

When she said it was $29,000, he asked, “Can you see yourself making $100,000?”

She thought for a moment, and then said, honestly, “I really can’t see myself making $100,000.”

Bob backed the number down to $50,000, something she said she could believe in, and that figure became her goal.

Had they started with $100,000, the result I’m about to share with you would never have come to be because Linda couldn’t believe that it was possible for her to receive that much money.

If you choose a figure that’s too high for you to believe in, you send a message of disbelief out into the universe.

That disbelief then controls your perception to see all the things you don’t believe. For instance, you’ll see all the reasons why you can’t get the money. You’ll think the money is not really there, this process doesn’t work or, “Dave is full of baloney.”

When Bob started Linda at $50,000, she could actually see the money in her mind’s eye.

And that same year, she made $499,000.

Why did she make nearly 10 times her target?

Once she started to approach $50,000, her belief that she couldn’t make a lot of money completely shattered, as though it had never existed. Also, her success inspired her to continue expanding.

Believe in Your Number

Like Linda, be honest about where you are.

Believe in your number, love your number, however small it may seem.

Because if you start where you actually are, there is no limit to how far you can go.

Do you know the Laws of the Universe?

This week's question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life” comes from an individual who wishes to remain anonymous.

Question:

Hi David,
Where would we find a list that exists of the Universal Laws?

Answer:

There are lists of the Universal Laws all over; however, a list should not be what you’re looking for.

My recommendation, if you really want to live the Laws, is to purchase and STUDY Raymond Holliwell’s book called, Working with the Law.

I say study, because I still take the book with me wherever I go and read short excerpts every day. It’s a short book, and even now after YEARS of studying it, I become aware of something new each time I read it.

I recommend doing the same thing with Wallace Wattle’s book, The Science of Getting Rich, and James Allen’s book, As a Man Thinketh. If you’ve listened to me for any length of time, you know that I quote those books often as well. All three of the books teach Universal Principles.

Many people over the years have asked me for a “cheat sheet” of Universal Laws, but the problem is that without studying them deeply and allowing for your own self-reflection, they are nothing more than words on paper.

As you study and grow, your awareness deepens and so does your understanding.

“Just Believe”,

Are you truly focused on what you want?

This week’s question from my portal The Neagle Code: Directions for Life comes from an individual who wishes to remain anonymous.

Question:

I often feel that there are so many things to do with my business and to promote my business that are important right now that I feel bombarded with ideas. How can I discern which thing to do and when to do it to avoid being behind the 8-ball with the opportunities? I always feel like if I’d done that a month or 2 ago, it would have worked better.

Answer:

Thanks for your question!

This is a very common problem experienced by entrepreneurs in any and all stages of their business. So I’m going to ask everyone reading this to play with some ideas and then let me know if you’ve gained a little clarity by the end. You’ll be surprised how quickly this works.

First, let’s be clear on what’s going on here.

You are manifesting distraction, and based on your website (yep, I went there), you’re not clear on your target market.

You are getting all kinds of ideas because you haven’t been clear about what you want and who you’d like to work with.

It’s better to focus on one thing and take action on that one thing rather than to focus on many and do nothing.

Ready to get moving?

First, you MUST figure out who you would most LOVE to work with. Is your ideal client a real estate agent, an entrepreneur new to her business, someone searching for a purpose, or someone needing help building a team? EXACTLY who would you most LOVE to work with? Yes, I know, you don’t want to exclude anyone, but you must pick ONE for now. Create a profile for that person. I give step by step instructions in one of my previous blogs if you really want to get clear: http://www.davidneagle.com/blog/?p=313

Next, decide what your most pressing need is RIGHT NOW. If your biggest need is cash flow, create a plan around the fastest way to satisfy that need, and focus on your ideal client. So, if your biggest need is cash flow, don’t waste your time on website design. Websites don’t produce cash flow, sales conversations do. Immediately focus your efforts on tapping in to the resources around you.

And finally, don’t second guess your past decisions. You did the best that you could when you made those decisions. Remember, everything you do gets you closer to where you want to go.

If you want to speed that progression up, you must have a clear target market, message and goal.

When you send off confusing messages and you get confusion in return.

Are you making excuses to play small?

This week’s question from my portal The Neagle Code: Directions for Life comes from an individual who wishes to remain anonymous.

Question:

I’m a mom, wife, sister, caregiver, chauffeur, self employed hypnotherapist, and do volunteer work. Not enough hours in a day to focus on my love – my business. Help!!

Answer:

Ok, STOP!

Let’s go back again to what we know as truth.

The truth says that we are responsible for EVERYTHING in our lives, both the good and the bad.

If that’s the truth, I have to ask you why YOU have put yourself in the situation of being the mom, wife, sister, caregiver, chauffeur, volunteer and hypnotherapist?

There are thousands of entrepreneurs who are moms, sisters, caregivers, and more, and still have the time and energy to focus on their business.

Why have YOU made it so difficult for YOURSELF?

You see, people do this to themselves all the time. They make everyone in their lives more of a priority than themselves. Most times it’s because it allows them to stay small, which keeps them feeling safe.

So, how is it serving you stay small?

Why are you using your sister, husband, and children as excuses not to succeed?

Do you only feel worthy when you are providing for others and sacrificing yourself?

Are you worried about what other people will think of you if you FINALLY make yourself a priority? Will they think you’re selfish?

Let me tell you something… most people have the definition of selfish all wrong.

The true definition of the word selfish is: expecting others to live the life that you want to live. Many people think that if they live the life that they want to live it’s selfish, and they are WRONG.

The truth is the truth. You can be all the things that you mentioned and still be a successful hypnotherapist. Many have done it before you. I, myself, built my business to seven figures, and I was still a husband, father, brother, chauffeur, fixer of all things broken, and coach to others.

The difference is that successful people don’t use the situations in their lives as excuses to play small.

Are you setting goals and taking action?

This week's question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life” comes from a student who wishes to remain anonymous.

Question:

David, you work with people to take their high-5 and low-6 figure businesses over the 7-figure mark. What do you suggest for those who have yet to make any money at all from their services?

Answer:

Great question.

First let me clarify something.

I work with anyone who wants to be or already is an entrepreneur. I work with people just starting out, and I work with people who have been in business for themselves for years. It makes no difference to me how much my students make because I know that to the Universe there is no difference between one dollar and a million dollars.

It’s all energy.

I firmly believe that every single human being on this planet has the same amount of money, as each of us has the potential, through individual thought and decision, to manifest what we want when we want it. It’s the truth.

Now, on to answer your question…

You’ve probably heard me talk about the importance of knowing where you are, right? Well, in this case if you’re going to set goals for yourself, it’s important that you get very honest with yourself about where you are right now in your business and your life.

Once you’ve done that, set your first goal. It could be a financial goal, “I’m going to make $1,000.00 this month.”, or it could be a benchmark goal, “I’m going to gain one new client this week.” It really doesn’t matter, as long as you can see yourself attaining the goal. You must be able to get behind it emotionally for you to truly to EXPECT your DESIRE to manifest. (Remember manifestation is a two part process: desire and expectation.)

After you’ve set your goal, you MUST TAKE ACTION. This is the place that trips up most people. I have many students that tell me they know what they should do, but they just can’t make themselves do it. This place is what I call your blind spot. You know you should be doing something, and yet, you catch yourself playing Farmville instead of making sales calls. Without action there is no manifestation. If you can identify with this, I suggest you attend my free teleclass on Sept 30th. It’s all about the dreaded blind spot.

Once you’ve taken action, you ADAPT to what happens because of that action, and you remain open to new opportunities.

The cycle then repeats beginning with you setting a new goal, “I’m going to make $2,000.00 this month.”, and pretty soon and in a very short time, you’ve created a successful business.

The time it takes you to build that business depends on how quickly you move through the steps, and how long you allow yourself to flounder around before getting help if you need it.

The great thing about this cycle is that it pertains to new business owners who haven’t made a cent in their business, and it also rings true for entrepreneurs who are already at the 5 or 6 figure mark. It’s the same for everyone. And it’s what I use to help my students achieve their dreams both financially and personally.

So, I guess the question would be; why aren’t you making any money in your business?

Abundance is all around you.

Come on, get going…

People are waiting for you to shine your brilliant light, so what are you resisting?

Are you worthy?

This week's question from my portal The Neagle Code: Directions for Life comes from an individual who wishes to remain anonymous.

Question:

How do I truly convince myself that I am worthy of everything I want?

Answer:

You don’t have to convince yourself of anything. You just have to look at Truth.

The truth is that you are a divine being, created in the likeness of Spirit, God, Allah, or whatever spiritual belief that you subscribe to. And being that this is in fact, TRUTH, it is also true, that nothing unworthy of God is worthy of you.

You are worthy of everything and anything that you want.

What made Bill Gates or Oprah worthy of their riches? They are the same as you. Nothing separates you.

The fact that you are even asking this question shows that somewhere a message got handed to you that you agreed with. That message could have been that you need to work hard for anything in life, or that you weren’t good enough, smart enough, or pretty enough. Your self esteem was damaged, and you vowed that you’d never open yourself up to that vulnerability again. Questioning worthiness comes from a place of being afraid to be seen or heard for fear of ridicule.

Imagine for a moment what your life would be like if you didn’t care what others thought. If you weren’t worried about making mistakes, looking like a fool, or being humiliated. How would your decision making be different? More importantly, how would your LIFE be different?

I encourage you to make a decision today that you ARE worthy. Don’t “convince” yourself.

Proclaim it.

Stand in your power, say it out loud, and continue to do so until small changes in your thinking and behavior begin to occur. Every morning, look in the mirror, and tell yourself that you’re perfect just the way you are and that NOTHING unworthy of God is worthy of you.

Only then will you see your brilliance in this world and be shown the opportunities in life that will change EVERYTHING.

Because, my friend, THAT is the TRUTH, and The Universe wants you to have all that you desire even more than you want it for yourself.

Is desire enough?

This week's question from my portal The Neagle Code: Directions for Life comes from an individual who wishes to remain anonymous.

Question:

Through law of attraction coaching, I've discovered some key beliefs about feeling that life is hard – and that you have to work to deserve anything you get. Is this what is in the way with regards to my resistance to receiving/allowing? I find myself not wanting to trust in receiving so as to not be disappointed later.

Answer:

This question can be answered by looking at the Truths found in the exact law you mentioned in your question, The Law of Attraction. What most people don’t realize is that this Law has TWO important components. One is “desire” and the other is “expectation”.

You see, desire without expectation is useless wishing or dreaming, and wastes mental energy.

According to Raymond Holliwell, in his book, Working with the Law, desire and expectation are mental attitudes that represent lines of attractive force. Desire embraces a positive process of attraction. The Law states that you cannot long or yearn for something unless it already exists, and “desire” is the motive power for calling it forth.

So, let’s look at how this works with your situation. You desire something, but have a belief that you can’t have what you want unless you work hard or you’ve “paid your dues”. This belief gets in the way of the second step to the Law of Attraction, expectation. You desire something, but you don’t really expect to receive it because it’s not in line with your belief that life has to be hard.

A perfect example of what you’re experiencing again comes from Raymond Holliwell. He states, “Expectation is an active form of attention with intensity. It may be likened to the actions of a cat that waits patiently at the mouse hole. The cat expects to catch his prize at any moment; he expects to get the mouse because he believes he will get it eventually. If the cat did not believe and expect to catch the mouse, his interest and attention would lack intensity, and his energies would not be called forth. When you believe in the probability of success in your undertaking, you experience an intense interest in your work. This interest is strengthened with expectation and anticipation.”

Unfortunately, I see the opposite of this example with many entrepreneurs.

They desire financial success, to leave a legacy, to build a strong and reputable business, so they build a website, hire a team, learn from the best how to market, brand, and sell; but either consciously or subconsciously, they have a belief that they are not worthy to receive, that life must be hard, or that they will have to give up something dear to them to receive.

This results in paralysis.

They know what they NEED to do, but they can’t seem to make themselves do it, or if they do go through the motions, they lack the intensity of expectation, and they’re results fall short of what they desired.

This is a perfect example of a breakdown in manifestation. They, like you, have a desire, but they don’t truly expect the results.


You must reframe your beliefs about receiving to truly EXPECT the results you DESIRE.

Success comes from personal contact …

Here is this week's question from my portal The Neagle Code: Directions for Life“. The individual who sent in this question wished to remain anonymous.

QUESTION:

I have niched into a specific business market for my coaching services and now write weekly blog posts on my site. I am submitting articles, blogging, social media (3), and have joined one of their organizations. And it is just HARD after 5 months….Why is it so hard to get coaching clients? My difficulties seem to be with likability within my target. Maybe I just have not found enough of them. Not sure.

ANSWER:

Here is a perfect example of how the combination of mindset and marketing are crucial for your business.

First, I want you to stop saying that it’s too hard to get clients. It’s not the truth. It’s as easy as having a conversation with someone in line at the grocery store.

Remember, you can’t have a desire without the means to fulfill that desire already present.

How many real conversations are you having with people every day about what you do?

How comfortable are you selling your coaching?

Are you hiding behind your computer?

Second, I want you to take a really good look at your target market and answer the following questions… (Hint: This is helpful for EVERYONE in business)

Form a picture of your ideal client in your mind. What is his or her name? (Don’t say it doesn’t matter, because it does.)

Part 1: How old is this person? What type of business are they in? Are they married? Do they have any children? What are their hobbies?

Know your ideal client right down to the color of their underwear.

Part 2: What are their “symptoms”? Why are they seeking your help? How are they feeling? What do they want?

Part 3: How can you help them? What will have been “fixed” by working with you?

Upon completion of this exercise, you’ll be able to very clearly see who you really want to work with, which will send a very clear message to the Universe. A large problem that I see with entrepreneurs is that they don’t want to exclude anyone in their marketing. This results in sending a fuzzy message to the Universe.

I get the distinct impression from your question that your perception has been that you’ll open your doors for business, use the on-line marketing strategies that everyone is teaching, and my ideal clients will rush in. You bought in to other people’s marketing message that building your business can be solely achieved from behind your computer.

If you take nothing else from this answer, remember this:

The key to success is personal contact especially in the early stages of the coaching business.

Attending entrepreneurial seminars, workshops and masterminds is crucial for you to meet other entrepreneurs, to learn about the success stories of others, and to foster possible joint venture relationships.

How to get to where you want to go …

Here is this week's question from my portal The Neagle Code: Directions for Life“. The individual who sent in this question wished to remain anonymous.

Question:

How do you go from where you are to where you want to be financially?

Answer:

The answer to this question is actually quite simple. How do you get anywhere that you want to go? You get there by taking one step at a time.

Let me give you an example.

Have you ever driven anywhere at night? I’m going assume that all of you have done some traveling at night. So, how did you get from where you were to where you were going when you can only see 7 feet in front of your car? You could only see as far as your headlights would shine, but yet, you kept going, always knowing that you’d get there.

This works the same way in life.

Many people want to know all the “hows”, and see the entire path laid out for them BEFORE they take the first step toward getting where they are going. However, that’s not how the Universe works.

You see, the first step is to make a decision and then take action on that decision. As soon as you begin to take action, another opportunity or action will appear. The difficult part of this is that sometimes the opportunity may come disguised as a hardship or unfortunate circumstance. It appears that way, because it will challenge a fear that you have. Maybe it will come as an opportunity that will require you to be seen, speak up for yourself, make a financial commitment, or be otherwise uncomfortable. It will force you to change, adapt and grow. If you resist this process, you will feel as if you’re stuck. If you step into the fear and see the opportunity for the gift that it is, the next opportunity will appear, and the process will continue.

It really all boils down to a matter of how willing you are to take a risk and trust the Laws. If you’re not getting where you want to go, stop, take inventory of what’s going on around you, and ask yourself “What am I not willing to do to move forward?”

What is behind the fear that’s holding you back? Because chances are, all you’d need to do is look that fear in the face, step into it, and you’d be back on track again.

It’s as simple as driving in the dark. You may not be able to see the entire path, but you have faith that no matter what, you’re going to reach your final destination.

What About Risk?

Invariably, when I start talking about quantum leaps, right away people’s fears come up and they ask about risk.

That’s natural. Your subconscious mind is designed to keep you safe. It will tell you what the risks are, but you have to know that that information is largely rooted in lies.

My intention, today, is to completely reframe the way you think about risk. To turn the concept around so that it can truly serve you in your business and life.

Rules, Values and Risk

If you were raised in a working-class environment, like I was, or if you have worked a corporate job, you were likely taught a value system and set of rules, some of which don’t work for the entrepreneur or business owner. If you play by those rules, you will likely fail.

Some of those rules may include:

Don’t speak up.
Don’t speak out of turn.
Don’t self-promote.
Don’t make yourself too big.
Don’t let yourself be seen.
Don’t outshine others.
Don’t take the credit.

When you’re a business owner, you have to stand out from other businesses and trumpet your uniqueness. If you don’t, you’ll find it difficult to survive. If you were taught that self-promotion is wrong, then you need to consciously choose a new set of rules and values and be willing to take new kinds of risks.

Some of those new risks may include:

Feeling exposed.
Feeling judged.
Possibly stepping on someone’s toes.
Being more successful than your parents or spouse.
Possibly annoying someone with your marketing.

If that makes you uncomfortable, you have to ask yourself what’s more important: to never annoy anyone or to be successful? To never hurt someone’s feelings or to tell the truth? To never overshadow someone you love or to be the person you were meant to be?

The REAL Risk

You have to ask yourself those questions, because there is a graver risk at stake, and that is the risk you accept when you decide to live with the status quo.

When you do that, you risk never having an all-out, full life. You risk never living your dreams. You risk settling for only a fraction of what life has to give.

Are those really worth risking?

You Can’t Avoid Risk

The point is, you can never escape risk.

Whether you go for the quantum leap or follow your usual routine, something is always at stake.

You can’t avoid risk; all you can do is decide which risks to take.

Since that’s the case, why not choose those risks that have the potential to lead to the life you really want?

A New Set of Risks

Before I go on, let me clarify that, while quantum leaps do require you to move beyond your comfort zone, they do not require you to be reckless or impulsive.

Making a quantum leap is not gambling. It’s not a crapshoot. A quantum leap is moving on an opportunity you’ve been ignoring. It’s abandoning your excuses. It’s thinking about a problem in a new and brilliant way

I said before that I want to reframe your concept of risk. Here’s what I mean: I want you to start thinking about risk as a positive.

I want you to go out there and risk:

Believing in yourself.
Putting yourself all in the game.
Playing to win.
Succeeding beyond your wildest dreams.

I want you to risk discovering how great you really are.

Risk Opening Your Gifts

When you live your life with that kind of courage, from that burning fire of passion, you get to open your gifts. You surely have opened some of your gifts, but you have many more left untouched.

Here’s the wonderful secret about that — you don’t have to know what your gifts are in order to open them. They materialize as you reach for them. Did you hear me? All you have to do is reach.

Reach for the greatness that lies within you. Reach for the fullness that is your birthright.

Welcome the thrill in your belly that tells you you’re taking that risk.

Shine as you were meant to shine. Radiate your knowing of who you are.

Love, really love, your life. Be the person, the divine being, you really are.
