The second you make a firm decision to embrace your desire, and you fully step into it, the universe responds immediately. It starts rearranging your life so that you can reach your goal and fulfill your purpose.

Some of that does not look or feel good.

Often there is a brief period of chaos. You may experience difficult situations or people close to you get sick.

That can be very challenging, because you're emotionally attached to the things and people in your life. You think, What the hell is going on? My whole world's falling apart!

It's difficult, but it is only temporary. It's like the turbulence you experience when you take off in an airplane.

The pilot comes over the intercom, saying, “Folks, we're experiencing some turbulence right now. I'm waiting to get clearance from air traffic control so that we can take you up and out of this.”

Meanwhile, you're gripping the seat rests or the hand of the person next to you, wondering when the hell it's going to end.

Then, all of a sudden, they get the all-clear. The plane soars to 36,000 feet, and it's smooth sailing from that point on.

The higher side of you understands this process, but your subconscious mind is freaking out. It can only go by the information with which it's been programmed ~ which includes belief in lack ~ so it perceives your goal as an impossible dream. It believes that what you're doing is dangerous, so it's trying to stop you.

You have to be ready for this, because your subconscious will cause you to think thoughts that are detrimental to your progress toward your vision.

You'll think, What's happening! I'd better stop. I shouldn't spend any more money! This is crazy. I can't do this! In addition you may feel fear, anger or overwhelmed.

The truth is everything is moving in the right direction. When you set your goals according to Universal Law, as I've been showing you, you are going for the biggest win of your life.

Just keep following what I told you in my recent series on the Seven Secrets of Multimillionaire Entrepreneurs.

Those ideas of desire, decision, belief and faith in a higher power, love, responsibility, will, and action, will keep you living in the higher side of yourself.

They will cut straight through the chaos and rocket you to your goal.

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. I'm having a difficult time setting a money goal and then sticking to it. It doesn't seem to be enough to set the financial goal; yet, I really NEED the money that I'm asking for. How do I continually stay focused on that goal?

Answer:

To answer your question, I'm going to refer to Chapter 2 in Napoleon Hill's book, Think and Grow Rich.

You see, wishing for money will not bring it.

According to Hill, desiring riches with a state of mind that becomes an obsession, then planning definite ways and means to acquire riches, and backing those plans with persistence, which DOES NOT RECOGNIZE FAILURE, will bring riches.

If you look at the above paragraph, you can see there are many things at play in hitting your financial goal.

First, you must desire it. You must be emotionally attached to it. Some of you may have even heard me call your goal a magnificent obsession. Get crystal clear on your goal. If it's an amount you've picked out of thin air because it “would be nice”, you cannot be emotionally attached to it. Your goal should mean something to you.

Second, you must take action on a plan to bring forth the money. No matter how much you desire to hit your goal, the heavens will not open and drop money in your lap.

Third, you must be persistent, and you must be persistent in a way that you REFUSE to accept failure as an option. I call this “burning the ships”. For some of you this may mean giving up a weekend to make sales calls or doing something you've been resisting for quite some time. It's about doing whatever it takes regardless of the fear that you are confronted with.

And fourth, along with being persistent, you must see, feel and believe yourself already having the money you need to hit your financial goal. Your desire must be so strong, that you convince yourself that you already have it.

And in truth, if you desire it, it is in fact already here for you.

To help you stay focused, I recommend that you read and reread Chapter 2 in Think and Grow Rich, and pay special attention to the practical steps he gives for turning your desires into its financial equivalent.

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

Question:

My husband and I bought the company he was working for 5 years ago. I truly believe in God and that we can change the circumstances of our lives. My husband does not and our business (distributor of industrial machinery) is in serious financial trouble. How can I change things around if my husband is trapped in negativity and stress? He is the one who makes the business decisions.
Thank you David!

Answer:

Thanks so much for this question!

Is this your husband's business, or do you own it jointly?

The reason I'm asking is VERY important.

If you and your husband own the business jointly, why does your husband make all the business decisions?

AND

If this is your husband's business, why are you trying to save him? Are you using his situation as a distraction from what you should be doing for yourself?

I'm going to answer this question based on the assumption that you and your husband both own the business.

I'm not questioning your belief in God that you can turn your business into success, I'm just wondering how you can take action on that faith if you've given all decision making power to your husband.

If you own your business jointly, you should discuss business decisions together.

That being said, generally when this scenario pops up with entrepreneurs and their partners it's because each person wants something completely different.

If you haven't already, I recommend sitting down as a couple and having an honest discussion about what each of you wants.

Are they the same or completely different?

Your business is failing for a reason, and if you do both not want the same things, it could be sabotaging your success.

Here's an activity I recommend for all couples who are also in business together.

Give yourselves the assignment of writing down your personal goals. Be sure to include financial, personal, short term and long term goals.

Set a “date” to discuss what you've each written. You may even want to get out of the house to share your lists.

Concentrate on really listening to what your partner is telling you. Ask questions, and be careful not to judge what they've written.

Ask your partner why they want what they want, and what their goals really mean to them.

It's my hunch that in doing this exercise, you'll not only open the lines of communication back up, but also gain some awareness around why your business is currently struggling.

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,

I seem to hit plateaus in my life. I hit a goal and then have a hard time going to my next goal. Last year I did over $300k but for some reason I get comfortable and want to take it to the next level (7 figures) but am having difficulty turning on the motivation and clarity.

Answer:

Thanks for this question!

Let me answer your question with a question.

Why do you want to hit that 7 figure mark, and EXACTLY how much money do you WANT?

Remember, that the very first stage in creating the life you want is to make a decision.

The first step is to decide EXACTLY what you want (or better).

Your decision should be based on something you're emotionally tied to, something specific you want, and that really pushes you to “feel” your goal.

For example, Joe wants $500,000.00 by September 23rd so that he can buy the house at 567 Random Way, and move closer to his children, so that he can take a more active role in their lives.

Joe is emotionally tied to the money he needs because it will allow him to be closer to his children.

He's made the decision and he's emotionally connected to it. The emotional connection gives Joe a sense of urgency to attain his goal. He knows that the longer he takes to hit his goal, the less time he gets to spend with his children.

This sense of urgency keeps pushing him forward.

What is your sense of urgency to hit the 7 figure mark? What's going to get you out of bed in the morning to do what you need to do to hit that goal?

I have seen many entrepreneurs choose a financial goal out of thin air, and then can't understand why they have never been able to hit that goal.

They don't hit the goal because they are not emotionally connected to it, and there isn't a sense of urgency behind it.

There goals were wishy-washy.

For any entrepreneur reading this, ask yourself the following 3 questions:

1) What exactly do I want? (Make a list and attach a dollar amount to everything on it)

2) Why do I want this? (Be very honest about this)

3) What happens if I don't meet this goal? (This will help you determine how strong your sense of urgency is)

Once you've answered this question, expect to hit the goal, and take action toward this goal EVERYDAY!

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

Question:

David, I just can't get started. I have so many ideas floating around my head that I don't know where to begin. They sound exciting and then when I start to work on them, it just doesn't feel good enough or the market is so saturated it feels fruitless.

I'm struggling with my purpose, what I should do with my life. It's truly leaving me lost and depressed because I can't figure it out. I've read everything on finding your purpose, spent thousands of dollars trying to figure this out with all the “guru” books/events out there and alas, I'm still at square 1.

Any ideas?

Answer:

Great question, and one I know many entrepreneurs who want to start their own business struggle with.

There's a lot of chaos going on in your mind right now, so let's look to the truth and shine the light on some of those lies.

First, there is no such thing as a mistake. Everything you do, regardless of the results you experience, is bringing you closer to truth. All of those experiences force you to grow, and in the growth, you begin to discover who you are and what you want for your life.

Many entrepreneurs hesitate to get started on an idea because they are afraid of making a mistake. Actually they aren't afraid of the mistake itself, they are afraid of what other people will think about their decision and outcome.

So you must first DECIDE.

Choose ONE of your ideas. It doesn't really matter which one, just choose one that inspires you the most.

Then take ACTION on that decision. Don't worry about the results, don't fret about what people will think, and don't stop.

You see, Spirit won't give you your entire plan. You must take action on the first step before the 2nd step will be shown. If you never take action, you'll never see the next opportunity.

If you should fall flat on your first idea, be grateful for what you've learned from it, and continue to look for the next opportunity. It WILL be there.

You will either win or you will learn, in which case, either outcome is a GIFT.

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.

For a more detailed description of this process, I’ve created a free teaching audio that you can listen to or download. Just visit www.howtomakeadecision.com. I know it will help!
