Katie McManus walks through a 5-10 minute exercise: list times money came to you unexpectedly, note how you felt before and after, then write a thank-you to the universe. The idea is to train your brain to spot new money opportunities by anchoring gratitude to real evidence.

Hello and Happy Wednesday. In this video, I'm going to be teaching you a simple money mindset exercise that will open you up to more money making opportunities that you're just not seeing right now. But first, I have a couple quick updates. Now first and foremost, you might have noticed that I had already rescheduled the seven strategies to scale your business webinar from last Saturday to this Saturday. Well, it's looking like we're going to have to reschedule again because I'm living on Cape Cod right now and it looks like we have a hurricane that's going to hit us this weekend and anytime we have even the smallest storm, we tend to lose our power and wifi, which isn't helpful if you're doing a webinar. So instead of leaving it to the last minute, I'm just going ahead and rescheduling it to next week. And if you want to register for that, I've included the link below. The second update is you've probably seen the numerous emails I've been sending over the last few days about the Money archetype business strategy sessions that I'm offering. There are only seven available total and three of them have already been booked. And I've gotten a lot of questions from people in my email just asking like is this right for me? With a little explainer about their business and their situation. And I've actually told a bunch of them, no, it's not right for you because I never want someone spending money on their business that isn't actually going to help them in the best way possible. So if you're on the fence, if you think that you might want to sign up for this, but you're just not sure it's right for you, here's what I want you to do. I want you to go down and schedule like a 10 or 15 minute call with me and we will hop on the phone or on Zoom and really honestly, no bullshit, determine if this session is going to be the best thing for you right now. And believe me, I will tell you if it's not right for you. And remember, there are only four of those sessions left. So if you're on the fence and if you think you might want to sign up for this but you're just not sure, go ahead and book that session or that little 15 minute call as soon as possible. Okay, so updates done. Now to the money mindset exercise. Now this exercise is something that I do anytime I'm feeling stuck in my finances, feel like I'm running out of money or I feel like I just have tapped every single step source of potential clients in my world and I just don't know what to do next. So here's how it goes. You're going to sit down for about five or 10 minutes and you're going to make a list of every single time that you can remember where money came to you in an unexpected or an unconventional way. As you're making this list, I want you to remember back to that moment before you got the money. And I want you to tune into what were the feelings you were having. Were you stressed out? Were you scared? Were you angry? Were you just feeling lost? Just make a little note of that. And then I want you to make note of what it felt like when that money came to you. What did it make possible for you, your business, what problems did it solve for you in that moment? And once you've made this list, I want you to go through and I want you to write just a little thank you note to the universe for sending money to you at that time in your life. Because here's the thing. I know a lot of people are stressing out about money right now, and there are a lot of gratitude practices out there that promise to make your life more abundant. But here's how this is different. You know how when you're thinking about buying a new car, say you've decided on a yellow Jeep and you haven't bought it yet, and you haven't even gone to the dealership to inquire about how much it's going to cost, but all of a sudden you're looking around town every time you're out and about and you just see all these yellow Jeeps everywhere. And it's not that there are more yellow Jeeps than there were before, it's just that your brain is tuned in to noticing them because you decided that you wanted one. And you also believe that it's possible for you to have one. Oftentimes when we're doing gratitude practice and we're thanking the universe for a bunch of stuff, we don't relate it to the thing that we actually want to happen. And while gratitude is a massive part of the Law of Attraction, it doesn't cover the part where if you want the law of attraction and manifestation to actually work for you, the other critical ingredient here is you have to actually believe that it's possible for it to happen for you. So with this exercise, you are blending your gratitude practice and you're also listing off a whole slew of evidence that it has happened before and so it can happen again, and you're mixing them together. Just like when you decide that you want to buy a yellow Jeep. When you have a list running in your mind of all the times that this has happened for you before, your brain is going to flip that switch and it's going to be far more observant and open to those opportunities coming your way this time. And oftentimes, when I have clients do this exercise, they come up with some pretty weird scenarios that happened in the past. So if you have any funny or weird stories that you'd like to share with me, please do. That's my update and my little lesson on how you can rethink how you are growing your business and your wealth. I will see you next week in next week's video. Bye.
