What Really Determines Successful Financial Action?

When it comes to money problems and getting our finances in order to create prosperity and wealth we logically conclude that the most important thing is for us to take action – or to DO something.  And then we think that the action is what is going to support us in HAVING what it is that we want.  We think that if we spend money according to our budget, increase our income or get rid of our debt that these actions will support us in acquiring more money. So we get determined and muster up our will power go take the action that we know we need to take.

But then we find ourselves running up against a wall when our beliefs and behaviors get in the way of taking the action that we know we need to take.  We know that we “should” stick to our budget, yet we find ourselves spontaneously making large purchases on things that aren’t on our budget.  We know that we “should” be able to increase our income, yet we don’t believe we actually can.  As a result we don’t take action.

What Gets In the Way of Achieving Prosperity and Wealth

Our behaviors frequently get in the way of “right” action and create money problems for us.  This is because we mistakenly believe that action is the source of creating results.  Because we believe that action is the source of results we fail to focus on the true source of results, which is who we’re BEING.

Being is what influences the actions that we take.  When I say “being”.  I’m referring to what is actually operating for us at the level of our beliefs, thoughts and emotions.  Let’s say you’re self-employed and you know you need to make more money – yet you also believe that it’s impossible to make more money or bring in new clients in today’s current economy.

However, you know you need to take action so you go out and make cold calls, knock on people’s doors and advertise.  The problem is that you’re taking action from a place of being “It’s not possible to make money in today’s economy.”  This results in a lot of action, but little to show for it.

One of my clients believed that a spending plan would deprive her of freedom and that it would always be difficult to stick to.  Because of this she kept coming up with “justifiable excuses” for putting off creating her spending plan.

How To Create a Financial Breakthrough

It was until we talked about who she was “being” in regards to her spending plan that she was able to see that sticking to her spending plan could actually provide her with the freedom she truly desired and give her the ability to make more conscious choices.  She had a phenomenal breakthrough and was instantly motivated into action.

If you’re taking financial action, but not getting the results you desire in your life.  Take a moment to reflect on “who you are being” in regards to money.  It is by looking at who you’re being that you can transform yourself from being the mouse on the proverbial hamster wheel into taking action from a place of inspiration, ease and effortlessness.
