More Money: I Think I Can’t, I Think I Can’t…

I’ve been watching Joe Vitale’s series on the Awakened Millionaire and this last one really hit home for me.

It’s not new information for me but I hadn’t thought about it for a long time.

It was all about the subconscious and how it affects everything we do.

You see the subconscious mind is busy. It is estimated that it sends your conscious mind about 50,000 messages a day. Wow! That’s about 34 messages per minute.

The subconscious mind needs a hobby.

Unfortunately the subconscious mind is a bit of a worry wort and it tends to hold onto memories and messages for a very long time. AND, it can, with great efficiency, torpedo all of your hard work toward your life goals and dreams. (I told you it needed a hobby.)

This is how it works for me. I’m working on developing a product (that I’m really excited about) that I will (I almost wrote “want” but decided “will” was a more pro-active phrasing) sell on QVC, the famous shopping network.

Posted by Morgan in How To Get Out Of Debt, How to Discover Your Dreams, How to Start a Business, Where to Start: The Debt Dance Method | 4 Comments

2008 U.S. bankruptcies: 1,117,771.

You are not alone if you are contemplating bankruptcy.

Complete the following Debt Dance survey. Its score will help guide you as to whether you need to file, if this is the right time to file, or, if you should be looking at other alternatives. This is informational only.

If you are considering filing bankruptcy it is imperative that you speak with an attorney to better evaluate your unique situation.

Take a moment and write down your financial and life dreams. Attach an approximate dollar figure to them. For example:

Start a petting zoo business. $25,000.
Invest for the kids’ college. $100,000.
Buy a new house for cash. $350,000.
Pay off all unsecured debts. $35,000.
Have an emergency fund of $15,000.

c. I use my credit cards several times per week for small things, just to help me get through until payday.
d. I rarely use my credit card.
