7 Abundance Secrets that made me a Spiritual Millionaire (without selling my soul)

All right guys, you guys hear that? Apparently this is a tequila bottle that has a bell on it, and every time you hear the bell, you got to take a shot right now. Why don't we all take a shot of kombucha or something? I don't actually drink, but this tequila bottle was left at my front door when I bought this house. I didn't have a real estate agent representing me because I bought this house off market. I'm in Austin, Texas now, and the rental market and the housing market here is insane. But somebody or the real estate agent that was actually representing the other person selling me this house left this at my front door with a note on it. And it was a very nice gesture of her and it was something she didn't have to do. And apparently it's a couple hundred dollar bottle of tequila. I posted on Instagram and many of you guys knew what it is. I think it's a, I think it's a cool decoration more than anything else. Uh, however, that one gesture that she made where she kind of in a way went above and beyond, uh, she had no attachment. She was just giving me, the thing of tequila. And maybe there is a little bit of like, you know, when you give something, then, you know, if there's a business card in there, then if I need anything, I'll reach out to her. But it was something that was gave without attachment. And this comes from one of the most powerful abundant secrets that I've ever learned. I'm gonna share that with you. And it has to do with going the extra mile. Now, let me show you how this may play out for her because she did that one little gesture. What may happen is the same thing that happened in that of Sedona. I moved to Sedona about a year and a half ago, and when I moved to Sedona, I bought a house. When I bought a house, I then had 3 or 4 other friends move to Sedona, and that one real estate agent that sold me the house not only made $50,000 of commission off the house that she sold me, but she also made another, she sold another house for $800,000, she sold another house for $500,000, she sold another house for $800,000, She ended up making probably $200,000 of commission just from meeting me because also I just have a lot of, you know, there's a lot of people that were also being driven to move to Sedona. It worked out really, really well for her. Now in a similar vein, this person who's awesome, her name is Victoria, she's an awesome real estate agent. She got that thing for me. There's potential for her over the next couple of years to have the same level of like influx coming in because I moved to Austin, I have a lot of friends moving here. Eventually probably buy another house in a year and you're gonna be Airbnb-ing this one. And there's like all this abundance that will most likely flow towards her because of that one bottle of tequila that she got me. Even though I don't drink, it was a very nice gesture. And it's an example of something that's called going the extra mile, which is from the book, "Think and Grow Rich." Now, understand this too about abundance. What you put out is what you get back, but when you go above and beyond, you open up new opportunities for yourself. I used to do this small little thing, and I'm gonna share with you in this video the 7 abundant secrets that have completely revolutionized my own level of abundance where I become what you could call a spiritual millionaire. I know the idea of millionaire is kind of funny thing to say, but it's true. And every one of you has the ability to do that if you take these principles on and you start to live by them. But the first one I wanted to share is going the extra mile because it was in the book Think and Grow Rich, but it sounds kind of like, it's like the golden rule and it's kind of overhyped up. But there's a new way of understanding money that will completely change your life. And in this video, I'm going to show you exactly what that is. Welcome back to another video. My name is Aaron and I help people expand their consciousness. Now in this video, I'm going to show you the 7 abundant secrets the Illuminati doesn't want you to know. No one wants you to know this stuff because it is so dangerous that you can become so abundant that you're bathing in money. And then you feel kind of dirty because we have negative beliefs about money that says it's dirty because maybe it was in a strip club, okay? Maybe it was like, you know, who knows? Maybe it was in the gutter somewhere. It could actually be dirty, but here's the thing that we need to realize. Actually, I'm getting ahead of myself. The first thing is that when we talk about money and when we talk about going the extra mile, this is something that I learned from back when I sold women's shoes, as with many things I learned, but here's one little thing I would do. I would, when I was helping someone's shoes, I wore a nice suit to work. I'd be helping someone's shoes. I would have already sold them the shoe. What I would do is I'd put the shoes in the bag. I put this tissue over the shoe inside the bag and it make it look pretty. Okay? So that they feel really good about the shoe they bought. And some of these people are buying a shoe that's $200, $150, all the way up to $1,000. So I'd go a little bit above and beyond. To give it just a little bit extra of that wow factor. You ever been to Japan? If you ever been to Japan, what they do there is they wrap everything with such incredible detail that you feel so special. You'll buy like an ice cream cone or something and like the way they put the paper around it is just so perfect and so eloquent that it just feels special. Well, I would just put this little piece of paper over and it would, so simple, but I would do that and my coworkers would not do that 'cause they're like, I already got the sale. A sale and they don't really, you know, care that much about it. But here's one thing I realized when I would do that, it was just a little bit extra that showed you care. People would then come back to me for that one little thing. It sounds so dumb, but it actually works. I remember one time when I was working at Nordstrom's, this one guy, he came from a store called Dillard's, which was much cheaper. And when he sold this customer a pair of shoes, it was like $100 shoes, he took everything, all the tissue out of the box, threw it in the trash, threw the shoes in the box, put the box in a bag and just like handed it to the customer. And she was like, I think she had a return or she was like pissed because of the way he was treating the shoes. He was like treating it like it was some deep discount store like Dillard's or something, I don't know. But anyways, that has, how you do one thing is how you do everything. And that's one thing, when I would do that one gesture, it would then open up other opportunities to where people would come back to me, I'd get repeat customers. But also when I was helping customers, I mean, it's part of the customer service thing too of Nordstrom's. But it's like go above and beyond for customer service. I would like go above and beyond to help people, bring them out many options, you know, all these things I would do, it would lead to more opportunities to where then what would happen is I'd get job offers from other people that own businesses and stuff. Like when I would have this mentality, other opportunities would open up. Somebody would be like, how long you worked here? Do you like working here? Would you like to work for me? Would you like to move here? I've been like offered jobs, like move to different states and shit. Because I'm going above and beyond. Now realize this about abundance. All abundance is, is energy. Energy, energy exchange is what abundance is. So if you want more abundance to come to you, you must be first off putting out energy. Your output of energy must be that of something you're passionate about, plus adding value. That's the key to this game. This is what changes everything when it comes to abundance. So money, Money equals energy. Money equals energy. That's all money is. Money is a neutral idea. Now, most people are just focused on money. They're like, I wanna manifest money. I'm thinking about money. I'm thinking about manifesting $100, $1,000, $200,000, whatever it is. Everyone's focused on the money. Money though is energy that has been exchanged. And if you're, it's like you're focusing on the side effect. Focusing on the side effect, you focus on money because money is a side effect of the energy exchange that you output. So when people are just focused on the money, it's like you're missing the initial step, which the initial step is the energy you're putting out. Even when I had that 9 to 5 job I wasn't passionate about, if I focused on the energy I was putting out and adding value and having fun and like this energy, abundance would come back to me. So one of the first abundant secrets I wanna share with you is that one simple thing, that if you go the extra mile, your life and opportunities in your life will change like crazy. I promise you that. Like that real estate agent that I'm now working with, that's like, dude, she goes above and beyond for me, she's amazing. It wouldn't have happened if it weren't that little extra mile that she went, you know, to pay a couple hundred dollars for a bottle of tequila, that there was no attachment, there was no understanding. Maybe I was just like, all right, whatever. And then never reached out again or something. Like there was no attachment there though, but now it could work out really well for her just like it did for the real estate agent that I worked with in Sedona. So it's the same kind of energy that could outpour, especially in like those kinds of businesses. But this is what changed everything. Now, the second abundant secret that has changed everything for me is redefining that abundance is not just money. Write that down. If you guys could type below, abundance is not just money. Abundance is opportunity. Abundance could be an abundance of opportunity, abundance of resources, abundance of people. Imagine meeting new people and then giving you what you want. We limit ourselves many times by assuming that abundance is only money. When I started realizing this, guess what happened? I was first going full-time on YouTube. I had a company that reached out to me in Costa Rica that said, hey, if you want to come to Costa Rica at this life transformation resort for a whole week, it's normally a $5,000 thing for a week stay here. You can come for absolutely free if you just make a YouTube video about it and talk about your experience here and you can be very honest about it. I said, okay. So I went with my buddy, my best friend Victor, and that was one of the first trips we ever went on and it was awesome. We go on this crazy cool trip, had some crazy cool experiences, put it on the YouTube channel and stuff, and guess what? Got it, that was abundance. They weren't giving me money, they were giving me an opportunity. But this only comes when you lessen your definition, your belief that money only, like it's all about money. It's like somebody would be like, I want more money. Like I wanna manifest $70,000. I wanna manifest $70,000. I wanna manifest $70,000. They go to a coffee shop and they start getting in conversation with some guy that sees his potential in them and the guy offers them a job and the guy says, and then somebody says, no, I'm sorry, I'm too busy trying to manifest $70,000 that I don't have time to like look at this job thing that you're trying to, you know, talk to me about. But what if the job paid $70,000? You see what I mean? This is about understanding that money is not the only form of abundance. And even in the way that we think about it, when we think about like abundance, we think about money, money ain't backed by gold. I'm not trying to get all, you know, conspiracy theory here, but it ain't. Bitcoin is a form of cryptocurrency, is a form of, of that cryptocurrency. Bitcoin, Ethereum, these are all different forms of abundance. I've invested in them to, you know, this is something that I've done is I'm not a personal advice, you know, like a financial advice guy, but this is what if I was just like, just money, money, like US dollar. No. I've expanded it and now I'm like well diversified. Okay. But that's something else you want to think of. You, if you're saying only money, then you're blocking out Bitcoin, only like US dollars and you're blocking out opportunities from people. You're blocking out potential job opportunities or, or, or resources or you see what I mean? So abundance is not just money. So, so this is something to really understand because it changes everything. Now the third thing, so realize money is an energy exchange. And what you give without attachment is what you can then receive with gratitude. So the third secret of that, of the abundance secret that I've learned is understanding gratitude, the vibration of feeling good with where you already are and being that version of you. When you feel lack and you want, you're lacking. You're saying, I want money, which means I don't have money. Instead, feel the gratitude for the things you already have. And it sounds cliché, There's a book that I used to read called Feeling Is the Secret. It's a 60-page book by Neville Goddard, and it'll talk about as you're going to bed at night, feel in your heart the gratitude and as if you are the version of you that has the abundance that you want right now. And as you feel that as you're going to bed, you begin to wire it into your subconscious mind. And I've been doing that for years, going to bed feeling grateful for what I already have and even grateful for what I want to create in my life, but I feel like it I already have it now. So gratitude is something you want to focus on for at least 10 minutes a day, right when you wake up in the morning, maybe right before you go to bed. That changes absolutely everything about this process. Now, something else that I had to learn on this spiritual abundance secret part is this is gonna get a little bit deeper here, okay? Understanding that you will get a reflection in life of what you believe you deserve. I used to believe, a lot of us will sabotage ourselves with money because we don't subconsciously believe that we deserve it. And the meaning we give to money is that money is bad, money is evil. When I went through my awakening back in 2012, I went through a phase to where I was learning about the government and all this like conspiracy stuff. And guess what happened? I started to like believe that money was the worst thing ever. I literally quit my job on a whim. I went into Nordstrom's one day and said, I'm not coming in tomorrow. And it was 'cause it was getting in the way of like Sunday meditations for global peace and unity. Like I became very ungrounded too. But part of it was like, I don't want a 3D job. I don't wanna be around these people, blah, blah, blah, blah. I became very judgmental, but money was also bad. I let that job go. At the time, I also screwed up my credit. This is like back in 2012. Had this car, I had this really nice Acura TL that I loved and I was, here's how dumb I was though. I owed $4,000 on this car. I let it go to repossession because money was so bad that I just didn't care anymore. Who cares about the 3D? I let it go to repossession. They then sold it and I had this like repo thing on my credit for like 7 years. For 7 years my credit was tanked because of this stupid decision I made. And I could have easily, I couldn't see it though because money was so bad. So why would I want to attract it? Or why would I, I could just sold that Acura TL that I owed $4,000 on. I could have sold it for like $8,000 and made $4,000, but instead I let it go to repossession. It didn't make sense, but I was so in this belief that money is bad and the government is bad and all this stuff that I was not attracting money into my life. So if you believe that money is bad, then guess what? It can't come into your life. It's like, you're like, you're bad, you're bad. If you kept telling like a boyfriend or girlfriend, like you're horrible, you're horrible, they'd eventually run away or they would stay trauma bonded to you because they were used to, you know, experiencing that when they were kids or something and it was like some trauma bonding thing, but it's not a good thing. So realizing what you believe about money, I see money by the way, as just a resource. I see money as a symbol of energy exchange. And if I put good out, then I get good back. That's how I see it. And because I believe it like that, it's much easier. Now, the thing you wanna become aware of though is what do you believe you are worthy of? Do you believe you are worthy of abundance or do you sabotage yourself? And then I've had times before where I think I got like a $6,000 check somehow and I just, I had bills come up and I spent it and I blew it. It's just like, I wasn't used to having that much in my account. I was used to living paycheck to paycheck for years. Until I became abundant on YouTube. But one of the things you'll realize, that spirituality and money and abundance, the same thing. It's not separate. We separate it in our mind. And many people, they feel guilty with money because they're like— say, many of you, many of you may be spiritual coaches, healers, tarot readers, whatever, astrologers, whatever you're passionate about. And the block that you might have is you believe that that you shouldn't charge for your services because it's spiritual and it's in this different category in your mind. Now if we look at Coca-Cola or some of these companies that put corn syrup and like stuff that causes cancer in it, nobody would really deny that. Well yeah, if you want the Coke, you gotta pay a dollar for the Coke. Of course it's exchange, right? Even though that Coke is probably gonna like have a really long-term negative effect on you. Maybe not one, but like eating it consistently or something could like really be bad for somebody. It's no problem with that, but you have some spiritual gift or something that could really add value to the world and really transform someone's life that you're holding back because you believe that you can't charge for it. You can't have an energy exchange for it. But remember, money is just a neutral thing. So it's changing your beliefs about money and understanding that you are worthy of it. And to understand that you're worthy of it, a lot of this is about becoming aware of the childhood programming you've had and letting that go. When you become aware of the childhood programming, it changes everything. So this is something that also you want to focus on and you want to become aware of. Now, the thing that also I want to share with you, so another aspect, another secret of abundance, what was that, 3 or 4? Another secret of abundance of this is that you have to let go of worrying about what other people think about you. And you have to stay committed to your vision. Back before I got on YouTube, here's a story for you guys. I don't know if I've told this that much. Before I got on YouTube, one thing that I did is I was, I had like 5 subscribers and 1 or 2 of them was probably another account that I have and 1 was probably my mom or something like that, my sister. And here's what happened. Many of you guys know my story with my ex-stepmom. She was mentally, physically, emotionally abusive from 7 to 15 years old. My dad divorced her when I was 15. Well, this, when I became full-time on YouTube was much later than that, but my sisters, that's their real mom. So what she was telling my sisters is that my brother and I are losers and will always be losers because my ex-stepmom is not in our life. That's what she told her sisters who then told me that. My sisters would also make fun of me. They were sisters, they did it with love, but they're like, you're gonna go make videos for your 5 subscribers on YouTube, Aaron? You can go make videos for your 5 subscribers, have fun. And I'm like, oh, you know, if I would've let that get to me, that would've stopped me, I wouldn't be where I am today. So, and what my ex-stepmom was doing is she was making fun and she would like, she'd see a video of mine and she would tell my sisters, oh, my name's Aaron, I help people expand their consciousness. And she would like make this imitation of me, making me look that way. And my sisters would tell me how she'd be mocking me. "Go make subscribe, go make it for your 5 subscribers, Aaron." And I felt blocked. I felt like maybe I'm not worthy of this. It made me think about this stuff in a different way. And that stuff would get to me because especially in the beginning, you might be very sensitive to criticism. But one thing I had to do is I used that as fuel. I'd go to friends' houses when I was going on YouTube and I could see that they thought what I was doing was, "Oh, it's a little hobby he's doing. He'll eventually go back to his 9 to 5 job." My dad kept telling me, He meant well, but he was like, just so you know, Aaron, and even as it started to grow, I had like 10, 15, 20,000 subs, and he's like, just so you know, if it ever fails, you can always go back to your job and stuff. Thanks, Dad. I felt like, you know, my dad actually let me live with him and stuff, and I'm very grateful to my dad. But the thing that I had to really do is I had to use that as fuel to not give a shit what other people think, to then focus on my vision. And as I started to do that, That's when everything changed. So the reason I'm telling you this story is so that you know, people may doubt you, your friends may doubt you, you may even doubt yourself, but you have to have that vision and you have to push through knowing that it is possible for you, that you can do it. You can do it. You have to just decide that you can do it and you have to realize that the blocks that come up are a part of that process. These are things that all changed everything for me when I began to apply it. When I stopped giving a shit what people thought of me, and I started making content, I went daily on YouTube, that's when my life really changed. That's when things really became abundant. Now, another thing I wanna talk about is passion. And the thing with being spirit, the spirituality part of this is that you're not doing this for the money. I one time was trying to learn how to make passive income. I was learning from this guy that was an internet marketer and how to do this thing called Kindle publishing or something where like I get a book, I like have this idea for a self-help book and I outsource the writers and then I get and package this book and market it and get paid like, you know, percentage of royalty on it or something like that. I tried staying consistent with that for a couple of months, like a month or two, but I just realized I'm not passionate about this. Not that I couldn't have pushed it and made it happen, but the universe will reward you for the things that you do that is aligned to your passion. Like for example, for the next level of my own spiritual journey, I've become a spiritual millionaire probably from 2 years ago. And by spiritual millionaire, I'm just somebody that I like, for me, it's not just about the money. The money's the resource. It means I can grow a bigger business and stuff like that. I can travel the world. But the spirituality aspect of it is like feeling rich, like feeling wealthy energetically. Like I get to, yesterday I went and got IVs. I went to the lake with my buddy Victor and afterwards we went and got IVs. And like, I like being able to do that stuff. I can buy organic food, you know? And all of you have the potential to do this. I'm not trying to brag or anything. But those are the values that I live by. But one of the things you want to realize is that when you're doing something that you're actually passionate about, the universe rewards you because we're all connected. Now, when I stopped doing that Kindle thing and I started doing what I'm actually passionate about, the universe was giving me synchronicities to say, hey, keep doing this. I had to first like take steps in that direction though for the universe to give me that reflection back. So that's the 6 to 1. I know we're getting a little jumbled with the numbers here, but these are, just the values that you can begin to like take on as your own and realize, I know that for the next level for me is I'm not as excited as I used to be about making, just making videos like this. I wanna interact with all of you. I wanna do live events. I wanna do live experiences. And because of that, it's like I need to step into this new version of me. So remember this, you grow and your money grows to the degree to which you personally grow. When I was like even just getting on YouTube, I had to learn internet marketing. I had to learn like these different— I learned marketing, how to market thumbnails, how to get, you know, good at seeing these patterns of what makes YouTube videos do well. I had to learn things that I didn't know before. As I grew, so did my income. Same for you. Remember that how you do one thing is how you do everything. By me being very present to the moment and helping customers and stuff like that, it had a certain energy. And then by me, that would leak into every area of my life. But I've realized that if I'm at a stagnant place in my business or anything, it means I'm not growing enough and I need to start getting out of the unknown. I need to step into the unknown more. As I started to step in the unknown more and I started to do that where what I would do is put good out and then with the intention of adding value, that's when everything began to change. So this last abundant secret is understanding what I think there are people in the world that know. This will sound kind of like rabbit hole-y, I understand that, I believe there are people on the planet that know that reality works where we're all connected. Every single one of us, we're a part of this collective consciousness. And there are people on the planet that like the current system in place. They like that people are in this little fear box where they're afraid to go out of their homes and they're afraid to like really step into their power. And they're really bought into the system. They're believing everything the media tells them. People, they want that because that means control. When people are in fear, they're much easier to control. Now, when it comes to this, it's about us waking up to who we really are and living who we came here to be. We came here to be powerful creators. We came here to wake up and to do what we're actually passionate about. And what you put out is what you get back because what you put out is what you're doing to other aspects of you. When I started to have the intention of adding value, that's when everything began to change. I made videos that added value to people. People could feel that I was authentic with that, that I wanted to add value. And of course, a side effect of that value is that people subscribe, people like the videos. The YouTube channel now has like over 100 million views. I got a text message the other day from somebody saying, congrats on that. I'm like, oh cool. That only happened because people saw value in what I was creating because I had that intention first. So it's passion plus value. What is the value you're giving out? Anything you see on Shark Tank that does well, that show Shark Tank, It's a product that adds value in some way, some level of perceived value. You know, somebody may look at beer and be like, that doesn't add value. Somebody else may look at me like, yes, you know, it's perceived. But when you have the intention from your heart of adding value, that's when everything begins to change because all of us are connected. So instead of focusing on the money, which is the side effect, instead focus on the value you're putting out. And the value is you being you. You figuring out your purpose, figuring out your passion and being you. And as you do that, that's how everything begins to change. Now, something I'm thinking of doing is I've done a 21-day magnetic love challenge. I've done a 21-day raise your vibration challenge. I've had over 10,000 people go through those. I'm thinking of doing a 21-day abundance challenge or a 21-day prosperity challenge where for 21 days we release our negative beliefs. We're gonna go deep. This isn't just about thinking better thoughts. What we're gonna do is we're gonna look at our beliefs about worthiness. We're going to look at our core beliefs about money and change our identity from the inside out. This will change everything about how we show up in the world. This is through 21-day process. If that is something you're interested to go to aarondoughty.com/money, aarondoughty.com/money and sign up for the waitlist or maybe it's available right now. I don't know when this video is going to come out, but one of the two, sign up, be the first to know. Uh, we're going to go through this, probably have 3,000 to 5,000 people go through this, go through it together. If you've ever been part of these challenges, they're extremely powerful. Other than that, I know this sounds weird, but if any of you guys are planning on moving to Austin, then I'm going to go and link the real estate agent below that is amazing. She's going above and beyond. I'm actually moving out of this house in a couple hours. I have movers coming. I'm excited. I move into a place of Austin where it's more nature-y and, uh, that real estate agent is— she's going above and beyond. Tomorrow she's going to come here and set up my short-term lease for— I have some friends that are going to move in this house for like a month. And she's going to set up everything. She's going above and beyond. She's amazing. I really believe that, um, she's like incredible at what she does. She helped me get a house when there were other applications on it and she talked them into it for me. So if you're thinking about renting in Austin or moving to Austin, reach out to her and see what's possible for you. I'm going to link her below. Other than that, uh, like this video if you liked it and subscribe if you haven't already. You guys liking these longer form videos? I'm going more in depth recently instead of 10-15 minute videos. Are you guys liking those? Or do you guys want shorter videos? Let me know. As always, peace, much love, and namaste.
