People are talking about it everywhere. Not only is it in the media, you go to the coffee shops, they are talking about it. They are talking about it in the living room, in the dining room, in the break room at work. If you go to the grocery store, they are making some comments about the economy! Now, I’m not an economist. There are a lot of things I don’t understand about the economy. But my question is, where is the money? Yeah, whatever happened to the money? Ok, do you remember the commercial for Wendy’s? Where’s the beef? Where’s the money? I know they didn’t pile up all the money and set it on fire. The money didn’t vanish. A few companies went under, but they still had billions of dollars of assets and some cash. What happened to the cash? What happened to the assets? The earth didn’t open up and the assets went under. I know that didn’t happen. Ok, some of you lost some of your money. If you were fortunate enough you had a portfolio and your money was in mutual funds. Chances are you lost what about 25-30% of your money, correct. Or if your money was in the stock market you probably lost 50% of your money. Maybe you lost everything depending on where your money was invested in the stock markets. Why is it that people are not spending money? Let’s face it, let’s look at it this way. Your job, if you are working somewhere, is still paying you your check. Okay, depending on what company you are working with, maybe you don’t have a job. But for the most part, at least the people I talk to, they have a job. They get a paycheck every week. If your money was in the bank, lets say you had $5000 in the bank, it didn’t go anywhere, and you didn’t lose anything from that money. Why is it people are not spending that money? Why are they still getting a paycheck, but not buying more? What’s going on in the economy? Let me tell you, I think it is FEAR! Fear is the reason why all of this is going on. Most people are paralyzed--emotionally and mentally. They are in a state of inertia. To them, things are still. Now I can understand a state of inertia when it comes to our money. But… A state of inertia when it comes to our dreams? I don’t understand it. I really don’t. I know this is a time to put your money on hold. But, you should not put your dreams or goals on hold. Ok, if you own a small business, I know you are hurting. As a small business myself, I sympathize with you. You see, we are always the first ones to feel the pinch of a bad economy. We feel the impact first. However, I want to say this to you. The problem is not in our small businesses. The problem is not in the economy. The problem is head. The Law Of Cause And Effect You see, the things outside of us are effects. The cause is our mind. The state of you business, your car, home, bank account and all are all effects. Our mind produces those effects. If we want to change what we have, we have to change the thoughts we entertains. I was talking to a coaching client on the phone. She has a business on the Internet. We spoke for about 70 minutes. Maritza never mentioned the economy once during the conversation. She kept talking about how well her business is doing and how much money she is making. She didn’t say anything about the economy. You know why? It’s because she is not focusing on it. Her mind is too busy thinking the thoughts that create better results. Simply put, she’s too busy following her plans, strategies, dreams, and goals. My friend, you don’t have to participate in a bad economy. It’s a choice that you make. I’m not saying everything is rosy. I understand what’s going on. However, there are a bunch of people who are going to be millionaires as a result of this crisis. How do I know that? Well, during the great depression, when thin Motivational Nudges yes@villagehero.com no no
