This morning I learned how to do that.
And when you’ve read this email, you’ll know it too.
To tell you the truth, I do want my dog wants. She wants to go to the balcony with me. I need to write… I go to the balcony.
Since I hate wasting time, I will either sit there and think (while spotting cats) or I will read.
This morning I read and what I read changed my mindset.
It can change yours, too.
You see… I should have been way ahead. I quit my job in 1995. I came online in 1996 and bought my first domains in 1997.
I wrote my first official list email in 2003.
I’m a freaking veteran and there are 17-year-olds making more than me online.
Why?
Mindset.
I quit my job, which meant that I needed other ways to make an income.
I moved to France with my family in 2000, which meant that I needed to make money online.
I needed money for:
- paying food
- paying the rent
- paying the phone bill
- paying the electricity bill
- paying the internet connection
In order to make money, I had to have someone pay me.
If I created a course, I needed you to buy it. In other words: my income came from you.
Honestly, I didn’t like that. Especially, when a subscriber became a friend. How can you ask a friend for money?
Sometimes I did, but every time I felt bad about myself.
By hunting what I needed, money, I had a limited mindset. Money is finite. It’s either you have it or you pay me.
That’s what I learned this morning.
Not to hunt what you need but to hunt what you want.
Yesterday, I cleaned our refrigerator.
It was a small thing, but it was what I wanted, and now I have something else I wanted:
A clean fridge that makes me happy every time I open the doors.
Can I clean it again in a month? Yes for sure.
Does it take something away from somebody else? Nope.
Escape the scarcity of needing.
Wanting is about abundance and creation.
There are no limitations. There are no reasons for why you should hold yourself back. If you want it, you want it.
That’s it.
Stop hunting what you need and go for what you want instead.
