Jay Shaw explains how to break out of a failure cycle by shifting from scarcity to abundance thinking. He uses the example of increasing monthly income from $4,000 to $7,000, suggesting concrete steps like selling unused items and doing yard work while training your mind to spot opportunities.
But the way that you get into the success loop is you get clear about what you— I don't like my current living situation. I'm currently making about $4,000 a month and it's just not enough. It's not enough. My rent and my bills eat up more than half of that. By the time I go grocery shopping, put gas in the car, man, I'm struggling. Then I don't get paid for another 2 or 3 weeks. I don't like this. What would I rather have? Man, I'd rather have like really $7,000 a month is where I need to be. Write that down. $7,000 a month is where I need to be. Now, you don't gotta force the idea for the $7,000. You just need to start focusing on the $7,000 a month. The same way you didn't have to try to feel nervous, the same way you didn't have to try to feel uneasy, the same way you didn't have to try to panic when you knew it wasn't enough. Just focusing on not enough created behavior in your nervous system. When you just start focusing on the abundance, when you just start putting your attention on What you want, so that it can bypass your critical mind and stimulate your subconscious. When you get hypnotized by that $7,000, what's gonna happen is you're gonna just start having aha moments. Like, wait a minute, I haven't turned on that PlayStation in 6 months. I can get a cool little $200 for that. You know what, I did used to do yards back in the day. I got a ride moment. I can knock out 2 yards a weekend and charge them $50. That's an extra $100 a weekend. That's an extra $400. You just gonna start noticing ideas when you get under You're under the influence of what you want.
