Why the “unexpected” should never distract you from your goal

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

Neagle Code Question

Regardless of how hard I try, I always only have “enough.”

I doubled my biggest annual income in just a couple months last year so I started paying down debt, investing in my business, saving more, etc. but then I had a bunch of “unexpected expenses” pop up (taxes, car trouble, family emergency, etc.), and now I'm worse off than before (although still making ends meet, for the time being). I'm at a loss. Help!

Neagle Code Answer

Hi, and thanks so much for your question!

Based on your question, I do not believe you have an “abundance” or “wealth ceiling” problem.

Looks to me like you may have a focus and consistency problem.

Here’s the truth:

You’ll ALWAYS have unexpected expenses. What I’m wondering is what were you focused on as those unexpected expenses began to pile up.

As the car trouble happened, were you focused on the car trouble or were you focused on hitting your monthly financial goal?

When you experienced a family emergency, were you focused on the emergency or on hitting your financial goal?

The truth is that those unexpected expenses were just distractions created by your sub-conscious mind to keep you from growing.

The key to solving this roller coaster is to continually stay focused on what you want and what actions will take you closer to what you want.

There will always be unexpected expenses, what’s really important is to master your reaction to them. See them for what they are and DO NOT allow them to take your focus off your goal.

If you need to dedicate time to the distraction, do so during non-work time.

You can break this pattern easily if you’ll stay focused on your goal rather than on the unexpected expense.

Can you catch 3 bunnies?

This week's question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life” comes from Matt Brainern.

Question:

I have a full-time job, have a desire to grow my home-based internet marketing business and even work a part time job teaching guitar lessons. Do you feel it is possible to desire multiple things at once or do we only have so much energy to give and should we focus it to maximize desired results?

Answer:

Hi Matt and thanks for your question.

I think it's first important to get an understanding of WHY you want to be doing all of these things.

What's your motivation behind working full-time job, growing your home-based marketing business and teaching guitar lessons?

Are you doing all of these things because you truly love them all?

Or are your motivations due to something else?

I have a hard time believing that you're equally passionate about all three. So get really clear and honest about why you're doing what you're doing.

Ask yourself if you're taking part in these businesses because you really love them or because you feel you SHOULD, you need the money, or you hope others appreciate you for your HARD WORK.

Do you have a belief that you can't do what you love AND make money?

Are you creating distraction and chaos to keep yourself small?

You see, what you're doing right now is chasing multiple bunnies.

You will get your best results when you can focus on ONE business and give all your energy to it.

Once you get clear on that, choose the one business you're most passionate and inspired about and then give it your ALL. Burn the ships and don't let anything stop you or stand in your way of achieving your goals.

The truth is that once you have a deep emotional desire for something and then EXPECT that desire to manifest, the Universe will respond.

Emotion puts everything in motion, and if you're not passionate about your business, you most likely won't get the results you're hoping for.

My assignment to you is to really get clear on WHY you're splitting your energy between 3 unrelated businesses. This will allow you to see what needs to change more clearly.
