Prosperity Tip: Is Fear Your Default Emotion?
Recently someone asked me why I didn’t include fear in my book Build Your Money Muscles as one of the basic emotions that people act out through their money. I explained that fear is the cover-up emotion, the emotion that people default to when they are unsure of themselves and their future.
Fear is often used as an excuse for not moving forward. Yet those who are willing to work through their fear and risk what might seem like failure are the people who are most successful.
Fear in the Current Economy
There’s no doubt about the fact that we are living in uncertain times. The recession, unemployment, foreclosures,
lack of available credit, and debt problems in Europe all add to an environment of uncertainty.
Even though large companies are earning healthy profits, the uncertainty is keeping them from adding jobs or making big investments. Instead of hiring people, companies are buying machines that allow them to replace people. Continue reading
Prosperity Tip: 5 Ways of Dealing with the Chaos of Change
Recently a woman was recounting her experience of going from having very little to being able to buy a house, something she thought would be impossible. “Before everything turned around,” she said, “my whole life fell apart and I thought I’d never recover.”
What she didn’t understand at the time was the life-falling-apart experience was an essential element on her path to prosperity. People don’t realize that in order to alter their lives significantly, there is often a period where the old crumbles in order to make way for the new.
That’s what’s happening in the world right now. We are going through a major transition that is causing lots of chaos as the old is replaced by a new paradigm. Continue reading
Adapting to Change
Because of what is going on in the world, last week I did a teleclass with my Peace of Mind & Prosperity group on adapting to change. Our society is going through major shifts and people who are adept at changing are the ones who will thrive and prosper.
But for most people, any kind of change threatens their concept of who they are and their place in the world. Resistance to change is universal because of fear of the unknown and the unintended consequences of change.
If you want to thrive and prosper, adapting to change is a skill you will need to develop. Not changing means you’re going to stay stuck where you are and the positive momentum of the new economy will pass you by.
Here are some suggestions for learning how to make change a positive force in your life. Continue reading
Financial Denial Blocks Prosperity
There’s an incredible disconnect between the movement of the stock market and the economic reality for much of the US population.
As I’m writing this, the headline on CNBC.com, just above the market chart, is “Stocks Gain 4% for Week Amid Earnings Optimism.” No doubt about it, the market has been going up, enabling those who are supposedly in the know to assure us that we are on the way to recovery.
At the same time, stories are dribbling out about the economic pressures faced by many people:
- There are over 1 million healthcare-related bankruptcies per year
- Over 47,000 people die each year in the US because they can’t afford health care
- 6.3 people are looking for every available job
- High level jobs are going unfilled because workers lack the necessary skills
- Foreclosure rates continue to rise in many areas
- Unregulated financial products are still in the pipeline
- States are cutting back on funding for education, safety, and other necessary services.
Searching for the New Normal
One word that can sum up the current state of world affairs is uncertainty. No one really knows what’s going on and all of the old predictive models aren’t working.
For example, this week, an AP article mentioned that economists had expected a cutback in consumer debt by about $4 billion in July. Instead, there was a $21.6 billion drop. Totally unexpected. Good for consumers, bad for the economy which depends on spending.
People seem to be waiting and hoping that the economy will get back to “normal.” Most people mean get back to what it was, and that just isn’t going to happen. Our economy depends on consumer spending and consumers are tapped out.
Also, because growth of wages leads to increased spending, that push for the economy has leveled off. With all of the job cuts and people finally learning to spend less and save more or pay down debt, no one knows for sure what will happen to our economy. Uncertainty prevails. If anyone predicts the future with certainty, don’t believe them. Continue reading
