Update on Savings and Givings Accounts

October 21, 2008

On July 3/08, I posted the article Dan Kennedy : 26 Behaviors and Beliefs To Attract Wealth. It was a review of Dan’s book Wealth Attraction for Entrepreneurs.

Imitating the activities of wealthy people is a means of becoming one yourself, faster. The wealthy tend to have Savings Accounts and Giving Accounts. They don’t hoard their money carefully. We assume that it’s easier for them to give money because they have more to give. Dan says “Not so”. They give because they have more confidence that there’s plenty of money to be had. Money is an energy form that flows freely, without the restrictions and barriers that often surround it.

Following Dan’s recommendation, I tried it for 4 months. My Savings and Givings accounts are doing well. Has a new set of energies been set into motion bringing me closer to financial independence? No, it’s not that easy or obvious. I do feel much less guarded about money though. I spend more freely and I give with less reservation.

Do I have more money in the bank? No.

Have opportunities been flowing towards me? Not so I can tell.

Is money finding its way to me in random and unpredictable ways? Same answer.

The biggest difference is that I’m calmer. I’ve released the feelings of caution and needing to shield the little I have. It’s tiring and distracting to safeguard money all the time. I’m not even sure it’s productive in that you don’t have any more to show for it.

It’s also boring to be so restrained all the time. Imagination is the best thing there is, along with an opened-up mind. Constant vigilance shuts those off completely while a peaceful mind is the most fertile of all ground.

Maybe something did happen. It might even be worth a few zeroes.

On Dan’s recommendation, I bought the next link in my learning chain, namely Napoleon Hill’s Grow Rich! With Peace Of Mind. You may know Hill’s more famous Think and Grow Rich, a book which many cite as pivotal in their growth but that didn’t really speak to me.

This is the book Hill wrote when in his eighties. It’s the culmination of what he’d learned, the stories and methods that most impacted readers, and the result of a lifetime of reflection about life’s priorities. Dan said Grow Rich! With Peace Of Mind is “the best one of them all”. I can tell already that he’s right on. It’s speaking to me loud and clear.
