R.I.C.H. Blog #1
Posted by Jennifer Cummings on 3/30/2007
At a recent conference with women leaders, I was asked to share my steps to a rich and abundant life. It got me thinking…In my 15 years of coaching I have discovered that there is a distinction between really successful people, who lead a 5 star life and others, who lead a 2 star life. A person leading a 5 star life may make 250K a year, work 35 hours a week and have 6 weeks of vacation a year, while a 2 star person might make about 75K a year working a 60 hour week and have 1 week of vacation each year. It seems like the difference between the two lifestyles are miles apart, but really, the difference between a wildly abundant life and a life of mediocrity is actually only 6" wide. It is the 6" between your ears!
To illustrate the difference between a purpose-filled life and simply existing, I have come up with 4 steps to a RICH life (and money is just one aspect of being rich).
R – Reprogram. Reprogram your belief system. Your thoughts manifest as your reality and
learning to turn what you are thinking into what you are living is an important
tool to living a rich life. Putting
feeling behind what you are wanting, instead of focusing on the lack of what
you have is the best way to bring what you want to you. Physics, as well as movies such as "The Secret" are showing us we do,
indeed, create our own reality. We are
entering a new consciousness and you want to be at the forefront of this new
way of thinking.
I – IDENTIFY YOUR U10. Everyone has a "Unique 10%" or U10. The key here is to identity what makes you unique, what is YOUR Superpower. Then, do more of that. When you are using your gifts, your energy is vibrating on a frequency that is drawing that which you want unto you. Try to focus your attention on what you do well, and you will be amazed at how the success will start flowing.
C - CONNECT WITH LIKE-MINDED PEOPLE. Your Mother is right, you ARE who you hang around. Are you spending time with positive, energetic people who are going places or are you hanging around with negative nellies that are keeping you from reaching your goals? When you surround yourself with successful people, it is likely that you will be inspired, on a subconscious level, to emulate their prosperity. Their abundance consciousness is taking you along for the ride!
H - HAVE A HIGHER PURPOSE. Spirituality in business is no longer an option, it is a necessity. In most successful people, there is a need to contribute. Not by making money, but by making a difference. The old "me me me" approach to business is just not relevant anymore. Cristina Martinez is a wonderful example of this. Although she is one of the most successful Realtors in the business, she takes the time to give back to the community by buying busses for inner city kids. I can't think of a better way to give thanks for the abundance that you have created in your life than by sharing it with others.
By implementing these 4 important steps into your life, you will undoubtedly experience not only an abundance of riches in terms of prosperity and success, you will also feel a richness of soul. And what better gift can we give ourselves than that?
