8 Steps for Money Manifestation

What's up, you guys? Welcome back to the podcast. Today's episode is all about money manifestation. I'm going to be walking you through 8 steps to help you start manifesting more money, whether you've done it before or you've never done it in your life. These are some of the core pillars, I believe, in my experience, to being able to manifest more money into your life. So whether you have a traditional job or you're an entrepreneur, it does not matter. Whatever the amount of money, it does not matter. All of these steps are really, really important for being able to manifest money. So I'm going to walk you through everything that I've done in my own journey to feel like I'm more of a magnet for money. And I'm going to share with you some of like the really— we're going to talk about mindset stuff, obviously, but I'm also going to share with you some of like the really tangible things that I actually physically did so that you can start practicing them as well. So this conversation is much more than just like, think positive thoughts about money. Yes, we're going to talk about some mindset hacks, but I'm also going to give you some things that you can actually start doing today and implementing into your life to help you manifest more money. Okay. Without further ado, let's dive into this episode. Welcome to the Makeshift Happen podcast. I'm your host, Samantha Daly. Entrepreneur, life coach, and your no BS bestie here to bring you all things mindset, manifestation, and personal development. This podcast is designed to help you expand your mind and uplevel your life. So turn the volume up and roll the windows down if you're coming along for the ride. Let's go make shift happen. So the first step in your journey towards manifesting more money is to understand that money needs a purpose, okay? So I want you to know why you are calling in more money, and not just, oh, it would be nice, or it would help me pay the bills, or whatever. But like, we've got to get really specific and tangible for why you're calling in this money and actually have a detailed plan for how you're going to spend, save, and allocate this money once it arrives. So it's not enough to say, if I were to manifest this money, then I would be able to go on this retreat or do this vacation with my family or pay for these bills. Like, in general, I don't want you to think about it generally. I want you to actually sit down with a piece of paper and a pen or spreadsheet, depending on the type of person that you are, and get really, really serious with yourself about, okay, if I were to manifest this money when it arrives, where would each dollar of this— let's say it's $10,000, $20,000, $100,000— where would each dollar of that 100 grand be going towards? How much of it am I going to save? How much is going directly into my checking account because we need it for spending purposes? How much is being directed towards investments or coaching or vacations or whatever else it is that you have on your heart that you want to allocate this money towards? It could be a house that you're working on buying. It could be a car. It could be literally anything. But I want you to get really nitty gritty with the plan because money loves having a purpose, right? It's really a lot harder to manifest money when you're just doing it for shits and giggles and like just because, and you're kind of in this energy of like, yeah, it would be nice, and of course more money would help me in my life, so would love to manifest it, but you haven't really designed a true purpose for the money. So that's the first step. Money needs a purpose. Figure out why you you're actually tempted to go into this process of manifesting, what the money is going to be for, and how specifically you are going to allocate all of the dollars that come in when this manifestation arrives. Okay. Step number 2 is that money needs a safe place to land. So we have to create that safe and structured environment in order for money to drop in. So if you are not prepared to hold the money, then what's either going to happen is you're going to block it and it'll never arrive, or it might come and you'll lose it. Right. This is the phenomenon that we see with lottery winners. This is the reason why 70% of lottery winners ultimately end up going bankrupt. And a lot of them land themselves in a financial position that was even worse than before they won the lottery. And that's because money didn't really have a safe place to land in that person's life. There was no structure, there were no systems, there was no purpose for the money like we talked about in step 1. And so it ends up just really easily slipping through their fingers. It's not intelligently invested. They don't know where it's going. They feel like it's infinite and it's not. And then they end up broke again. So there's something to be said for also becoming the type of person that can hold this money that you're manifesting. And part of that is having a safe place for the money to land. And so that's going to look different for all of us. But I think, you know, what we can really start to dig into is our financial structures that we have set up in our life. Do you just have like one giant bank account, which this was me for the longest time, just have one giant bank account where everything goes and you're like, yeah, like there's money in there for savings. And you know, that's where we— that's where the bills come out of. And it's all just like in this giant melting pot and you don't really know what goes to what and nothing is really labeled or separated out. That's like one place to start. You could just look at what do my accounts look like in the bank right now? And do I have a high-yield savings account set up where I'm allocating a certain percentage of my income every month so that it's, you know, accruing interest and it's compounding over time to earn me more money in the long run? Do I have an emergency fund set up? Do I have a retirement fund set up? Like, am I being smart and safe and structured with my money? So you're going to want to look at your bank account and make sure that you have a safe place for it to land. If you are a business owner, and you still have all of your personal finances mixed in with the money that you are receiving from clients or from your business, this might look like for you actually getting a proper business bank account, going to the bank with your EIN and setting up a business bank account and separating out those funds, getting a debit card and a credit card for your business so that all of the charges and expenses and incoming money is all just in one account. And that's totally separate from your personal money, and then you can pay yourself every single month what your salary is going to be for being the CEO of the business, right? So there's a tip for business owners in terms of, yeah, having a safe place for money to land. Another thing that you might want to think about if you are a business owner is do you have the kind of financial support that you need, whether it's through a financial advisor Or it's through a tax advisor that you really trust. Do you have a CPA? Do you have a bookkeeper? Like, do you have someone in your corner that you already know, you've met with, they understand your business and you can go to them with questions, whether they are tax related or investment related. But do you have someone that could help support you when more money starts coming into your life or your business, right? If you are a business owner and you're like, I'm going to manifest more money and I want to make $100K months. Then let's look at the infrastructure of your business. And do you actually have the financial support to be able to handle that? Right. What would happen if you started to make $100K months for the next 5 months consecutively? Now you have $500 grand in the bank and you've got to pay taxes on that. Do you have someone that you can go to? Do you feel safe in that? Do you know what the procedures need to be? Do you know what you're paying yourself as a salary? Is all of your money mixed? Like we just talked about. So creating a safe place for money to land is going to mean a lot of different things for different people depending on where you are. But I want you to look at the structures and the systems and the financial support people that you have in your life and make sure that that would be enough to support you for when this money manifestation does come true and it drops in. So you can kind of think about like, what would happen if $10 million dropped into your bank account tonight. Let's just imagine some— by some crazy miracle, you win the lottery or something happens and $10 million gets dropped into your bank account tonight. So you wake up tomorrow and obviously you're going to be really excited about all this new money. But I want you to think about what are the things that you would have anxiety about? Knowing that there's $10 million in your bank account, what do you immediately go, oh shit, like, I really need to get that figured out? And maybe it's even something as simple as the password to your bank account and making sure that you have two-factor authentication set up and that you have a, you know, complex password so that no one can hack your identity or steal your money or anything like that. But like, what are the anxieties that you would wake up with Knowing that $10 million just got dropped into your account, maybe it has to do with taxes. Maybe it has to do with family members that might be coming for the money. Like, what are the things where you're like, oh man, yeah, there's not really enough of a safety net or an infrastructure around me to support $10 million of wealth. And that's going to be your key. Those are some of your indicators of things that you could potentially work on and do and adjust to have a safer space for money to land in your life. And one of my friends in the industry, Chelsea Rife, she's been on the show a couple of times. You guys are probably familiar with her, but she tells this story often about the first time that she ever launched her coaching services, and she was so blown away by the result of that launch. I think it was like a $10,000 launch, and it was her first time ever even attempting to sell something in the coaching space. So that's not usually normal. And she was like, oh, holy shit. Like, it's working. Oh my God. Like, you know, this is real and I'm rich now and this is just going to be how it is forever. And like, oh my gosh, this is amazing. But she hadn't really set up the safety and the infrastructure and the plans and the purpose for the money before it arrived. And so when she tells the story, she talks about how quickly that $10,000 just went poof, and she found a way to spend it. And she was getting like spa treatments and she was traveling. She was doing all kinds of fun stuff. And before she knew it, like the $10,000 was just gone. And so it's just another piece of, of this puzzle here of if we don't have the systems and the structures and the safety in place for that money to land, either it's not going to show up because you are not an energetic match for it. You don't have the infrastructure to receive $10 million, so you're not going to earn the $10 million, or it could land for you, but then you'll probably find a way to fuck it up or push it away or squander it or lose it or miss— misspend it, misinvest it. Something will happen where you don't really know how to hold it or keep it. So making sure that you've got a safe place for your money to land. Okay. Tip number 3 is to participate in the circulation of money because money loves movement. Your money needs to move. And there's this quote that's like, if you want more money to flow, you have to let your money flow. And another way to say that is if you want more money to flow, you have to let some money go. So in order for there to be this flux, this like constant in-pouring of money, there also has to be an out-pouring of money. And it's just this energetic circulation all the time. Where if you think of like money as an energy, which we know that it is— and if you haven't already, you should definitely take the masterclass that I have available, uh, we'll leave it a link in the show notes. I think it's always in the show notes for you guys, but it's also on my website. It's called the Energy of Money Masterclass, and it's the foundations of understanding the energetics of money and how to call in more cash and starting to implement some of these really tangible Techniques to Become More Magnetic to Money. But if you haven't taken that class, go take it. It's really affordable. I think it's $33. Highly recommend. But in that class, we're obviously talking about the energetics of money. And so we're, we're working with this assumption and this understanding that money is an energy. It operates at a certain energetic frequency. And we also are all very familiar with Newton's first law, which is that an an energy in motion stays in motion, or an object in motion stays in motion, and an object at rest stays at rest. And so if we think of money as constantly being in motion, then it's going to stay in motion. But if your money is always at rest, then it's probably just going to stay at rest. And so what does it look like for money to be at rest? It means it's sitting in a bank account that's not designed to— like, it's not a high-yield savings savings account or an investment account. There's nothing being accrued, there's no compounded interest, nothing is really happening there. It's just sitting at the bottom of a bank account. And so your money is at rest. And what I want you to remember here is that saving is finite. You can only save so hard, you can only save so much until you— it's not even livable anymore because you have certain expenses and you can't save everything. That you earn or that you have. So saving is finite. Saving is limited. There's only so much that you can save. There's only a certain level of saving that you can do with the money that you currently have. But earning, on the other hand, is infinite. Saving is finite. Earning is infinite. Your earning potential in this world, especially if you live in a country like America, is infinite. So the question is, how can I earn more? And usually the first step to earning more is to acquire more skills. When you learn and you become more valuable and you acquire more skills and you provide that value to people, you will get paid more money, right? And so we want to start thinking about this idea of like, freely participating in the circulation of money so that our money is in motion. And the way that you're going to acquire more skills for a lot of people, especially my coaches and online business owners, that involves like mentorship and masterminds and things that are going to help you up and increase your level of knowledge and mastery and become better at not only your craft as a coach or practitioner or guide, but also skills like marketing and sales and Messaging and all of that. So acquiring more skills and spending money on those things is you participating in the circulation of money. But of course, even just like living your life and participating in the economy is in fact the circulation of money. And so this tip is really important for any of you out there that feel like you are, you know, you are savers. You're like, I love to save, it makes me happy, and I love to see that number just growing in my bank account and saving is really, really important. And if you're someone who never saves, this tip is also not like a get-out-of-jail-free card of like, yeah, you don't need to save, just keep spending, participating in the circulation of money. Like, it's a both-and thing, right? We want to be doing both. But for those of you that can tell energetically you like to cling on to money and you really like to save it, this tip is for you. You've got to participate in the circulation of money. You have to let some money go if you want more money to flow in. And there's this quote that I first heard this from Brett Johnson, but I believe that the original quote is from someone named Billy Napier. Napier. I'm not sure how you say his last name, but it's that scared money don't make money. And when I first heard this quote, I was like, oh, what does that mean? But when you really think about it, it's quite obvious. If you are acting and operating from an energy of scarcity or being scared, with your money, then you are not going to make more money. Okay. So I have something I think you're really gonna love and your business is gonna love it even more. Do you want to steal the strategy I've been using to seduce premium buyers and sell out my offers on Instagram stories?

Obviously, right? And so if you're being scared with your money, you're not going to make more money. What is being scared with your money look like for you? That might mean not spending on certain experiences or things that you're desiring or coaching or whatever it is because you're like, no, I have to wait until I have more. You're scared and scared money don't make money. So again, it's just another, another clue in this step of how can we actually participate in the circulation of money and why is that important? You can even think think of it through the lens of like investments, right? The only true path to wealth is investing, right? Not just being rich, not just having a lot of money, not just having nice clothes, not just driving fancy cars, but true wealth really only happens from investing and from having compounded interest over time that allows your money to work harder for you than you would ever be able to work for your money. Money, right? That is the key to wealth. But in order to invest and to participate in that activity so that you can become wealthy, you cannot be operating from a place of scarcity. You can't be scared. It doesn't work if you are scared of risking the money or losing money. If you're always trying to run your life or your business in a way where you're never going to lose money or there's never going to be a risk of losing money on the table, then you are not going to reach your full earning potential. That's just facts, right? Whether those are investments in yourself, investments in your business, investments in the stock market, investments in crypto, it doesn't matter what you're investing in, but there's always a risk of losing the money and you have to be open and available to the risk of losing money in order to make more. And this is all part of our participation in the circulation of money. Okay. Tip number 4 is to create a loving relationship with money. And this is where we're going to get into some of the mindset stuff. So obviously it's important to find gratitude when it comes to money. And I want you to think about this through the lens of all that money has ever done for you and all that it continues to do for you. Because if you're in a state where you're wanting to attract more, it means that we are also in somewhat of a state of scarcity. We have what we have, but we believe that it's not enough. And so we desire more, right? And so there's this weird phenomenon where it's like, yes, we can manifest more money, but inherently the desire and need and want for more money is coming from a place of lack. So how do we get out of the lack and into the abundance? And I think we, you know, a lot of people get really mind fucked here and we get confused. And so what I always just come back to is like gratitude and how can I find gratitude for all that money has done for me and all that it continues to do for me. And it doesn't matter where you are at in life, truly, I think that every person on earth can find some way that money has been able to help them or support them in their life so far. And I shared about this in our 11 Money Secrets episode as part of the— I think that was part of the Success series that we did over the summer. If you want to go back and try to find that episode, really, really, really good, detailed, tangible episode all about Money. So what I shared in that episode was, you know, thinking about all of the times that money showed up for you, whether even if it was like at the last minute when you thought that you weren't going to be able to pay the bill or when you weren't going to make it to the end of the month or whatever the case was. But like, there's always tiny miracles where we're like, wow, it all worked out, even if it was by the skin of my teeth or at the last minute, or it came in an unexpected way, right? Maybe you, maybe you had to get help and maybe someone lent you, maybe someone lent you money, or maybe something happened for you that didn't feel like it was a miracle at the time or that it was like some amazing blessing. But now that you look back, you can really realize, oh man, like Yeah, it's always— money has always been there for me. It's always kind of showed up. It doesn't matter in what way or in what timeline, but like it's always sort of showed up for me. And I think that's a really easy way for a lot of us, no matter where you're at, to be able to find that gratitude for money. And then looking around your life right now and just looking and noticing at all of the things that you can have and do and be because you have money. It doesn't matter the amount, right? We are all We are all utilizing this holy resource of money to be able to step more into our growth and our authentic selves and build businesses or take care of our families and, you know, make meals and all of these things. There's so much that money facilitates for you in your life right now, no matter what the level is at. I also think it's important when we talk about creating a loving relationship with money to forgive yourself for not knowing better in the past. If you are someone who feels like you you've made mistakes with money, or you haven't always been that great with money, or maybe you've got yourself into debt with money. Like, forgiving yourself for not knowing better at the time and being proud of yourself for taking steps towards learning about money and actually making better choices, whether you're listening to this podcast or you're reading books or you're taking courses. But like, being proud of yourself for making those strides and working towards having an abundance mindset. And one thing that I learned a while back in my journey that really shifted something for me was being able to say thank you to my debt, because I had debt from student loans from going to college. I went to a really expensive college and my parents did their absolute best and they, you know, paid for so much of the way for me. But there was still some that I had to take out loans for. And so I had these student loans and, you know, after college I moved to Spain and I was working these really low-earning jobs. And so I didn't have any money left over at the end of the month to pay down my debt. And so I just kind of had this amount sitting there looming for years of like student debt. It's just, it's there. And I wanted to get rid of it so badly. And I think a lot of people get into this energetic relationship with their debt where it creates guilt, it creates shame. They feel bad about it. They feel embarrassed about it. They don't want to tell people about it. Right? And it is perpetuated by our society. If you guys watched the recent season of Love Is Blind, when Izzy, like, told what's-her-face— I don't even remember her name, she was such a brat— the blonde girl. When Izzy told her about the fact that, you know, he had some credit card debt, but he had, like, paid all of it off. But because of the debt, his credit score was low. And it was like a huge, huge, like, thing for her. They got in a big fight. It was like the reason that she, like, said no at the altar. Whatever. It was a whole fiasco. Like, so we really can see how debt creates shame and embarrassment and guilt and all of these things in our society. And so being able to say thank you for your debt was a really powerful exercise that I did. And I realized for myself that, you know, my debt for my college experience gave me a lot of really good things. It connected me with my best friends. It gave me some of the best 4 years of my entire life. I had incredible experiences. I had so much fun. I learned so much about myself. It was like, you know, top experiences of my life, being able to go to college and do that. And I know that's not everybody's experience, but you're going to have to find your own things that you can be grateful for about your debt. And obviously, if I had never went to school, I wouldn't have studied abroad and I wouldn't have met my partner and spent the last 8 years together building a life and all these things. Like, my whole life would be different, you know. I wouldn't be fluent in Spanish. I wouldn't have lived in Spain for 6 years. I probably wouldn't have started a business. Like, everything would be different. I don't know who I would be if I didn't have my debt from my student loans. And so finding something that, you know, you can be grateful for your debt for— and for some of, for some of you, it may just be as simple as like really important lessons that you learned, or maybe at that time in your life you were going through something so hard that you needed to spend that money on those things. It was helping you to feel better or to cope or whatever it was. Like, there's something in there where you're like, I'm really glad that I had that to lean on at that time. And now I have these lessons and now I have this, you know, bigger mission to pay down this debt or to work through it or become the version of myself that's going to be debt-free. All of those things. So say thank you for your debt and all that it provided you with. Also, what is the shit that you bought? Like, if you have debt, you obviously bought something. So what did you get from that, right? Like, even to just be grateful for those things. And then the last piece that I want to share about creating a loving relationship with money is that you need to look at your money. And when I was thinking about this point, the lyric popped into my mind from the theme song for Glenon Doyle's podcast, We Can Do Hard Things, and the theme song, it says, "To be loved, we need to be known." That's a lyric in the song. And I think this fits so perfectly with talking about creating a loving relationship with money. If you want a loving relationship with money, then your money needs to be known. Hey, don't forget that every month we are picking a listener of the month to win $50 in cash just for showing love to the show. All you all you have to do is leave an epic review of the podcast on Apple Podcasts, screenshot the review before you hit submit, and DM that screenshot to us on Instagram @makeshifthappenpodcast. And that's it. I want to thank you for being such a loyal listener and show my appreciation by putting a little extra cash in your pocket. I know it's super easy not to do it, but every single rating and review seriously helps the show rank higher and reach new people, so we appreciate them more than you know. We'll announce the next winner at the end of the month and slide into your DMs if it's you, So keep an eye out and good luck. Love you guys and thanks for supporting Makeshift Happen. To be loved, we need to be known. So you need to look at your money. You need to know what's happening with it. You need to open your bank account. You need to know how much you're spending. You need to know how much you're earning. You need to know where everything is going. You need to know how many subscription services you have. You need to look at your money when you go out for a night and you're like, oh shit, how many drinks did I buy? You need to look at your money. You need to look at your debt. You need to know how much you owe. You need to know what percent of interest your, you know, credit cards are on or your student loans are on. You need to know the facts. You need to know the information. You need to be willing to look at your money. You're never going to create a loving relationship with money if you're not even willing to look at it. Because to be loved, we need to be known. And you're never going to be able to love your money if you don't know what's going on with it and you don't inquire about it. Right. So I teach about this in some of my money courses and programs, but really thinking about like money as an entity that you are in a relationship with and how you treat money and kind of personifying it in this way of like, imagine if money were a person. You know, how do you talk about it? How do you talk to it? How much attention do you give it? How much care? How much love? What are the thoughts that you have about it? How does it feel when it's with you? How does it feel when it's not with you? When money goes out for a period of time, are you super anxious and you can't wait for it to come back because you don't trust it? Right. Really thinking about as if money were a person that you were in a relationship with and questioning the health of that relationship and starting to look a little bit deeper there. Tip number 5, normalize the amount of money that you are manifesting. Okay, we're going to get into some more tangibles now. So the next thing, once you've done these first 4 steps, you've got to normalize the amount that you're manifesting, whatever it is that you're calling in— $10K, $20K, $100K, $1 million, whatever, it doesn't matter. But the best way to take money off of a pedestal and stop putting it above yourself and feeling like it's this unattainable thing that you have to chase and you have to run towards and you're unworthy of it and all the stories that get perpetuated when we're in that space. The best way to do that is to surround yourself with people who this type of money is already normal for, who already have what you want. That's going to help make you feel more normal about that amount of money. So if $100,000 feels like a lot of money to you right now, then you need to get in rooms with people where $100,000 is what they're making per month. And you can do this in a lot of different ways. You can listen to podcasts, obviously. You can read books, you can attend retreats and seminars, but you've got to get in the rooms where there are people talking about your biggest money goals as if it is nothing, or as if it's like the first level that they cracked. And then, you know, they went above and beyond and further and farther. You've got to also be really, really careful and vigilant to stop entertaining any conversations with people in your life who are complaining about money, because this is going to normalize a poverty mindset, not normalize an abundance mindset. So this is twofold. Normalizing the amount of money that you're working towards manifesting right now is a two-prong approach. You've got to get yourself in the rooms where people are talking about these amounts of money and making these amounts of money. And it is really really normal for them. And then you also have to remove yourself from the conversations where people are complaining about the economy and inflation and, oh my God, how expensive everything is. And look at these outrageous prices. And I can't believe someone would spend $1,000 on a handbag and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Get rid of it. Get it out. Suck out the poison. That is poison in your life. It's normalizing a poverty mindset. And it's not going to help you towards your goal of manifesting money. Okay, so normalize the amount. Be like, yes, obviously, duh, like it's not that much money. And the only way that you're really going to feel and truly believe that it's not that much money, instead of just like lying to yourself and trying to tell yourself that it's not that much money, is to surround yourself with people that are actually the living embodiment of the fact that it's not that much money. So that's why getting in the rooms is So, so important. Okay. Step number 6 is to decide, decide, decide that it is inevitable. Decide that it is already done. Decide that it is only a matter of time and aligned action until this money hits your bank account. You must decide. When you decide, the universe moves quickly. But in order to decide, you actually have to be firm in this belief. And deciding is not the same as knowing how this is going to happen, right? You don't need to know how exactly it's going to unfold or happen for you in order to decide. What deciding really means is that you are choosing to be firm in the faith that it will transpire. And pro tip, this is going to be a lot easier when you release the need for it to happen right away. If you need this to happen right now, that's going to create more urgency and more scarcity, and it's not going to help you really feel firm and trusting in this decision, right? So in order to decide that it's inevitable, an important piece of this puzzle is releasing the how and understanding that there are forces greater than you in this world— God, Source, Universe, angels, guides, whatever you believe in— that are going to help this come true. As long as you stay firm in the faith that this is your truth, this is going to happen. It will happen. It's already done in the quantum. It's just on another timeline. We're waiting for time to catch up. It's exciting. You get to now live your life with the anticipation of, oh my gosh, I know this is coming. I know this is happening. How exciting that I just get to find out how this is going to unfold. So decide, decide, decide, decide, decide. It's already done. It's inevitable. It's happening. It's only a matter of time. Okay. Step number 6 is to practice mental rehearsal. And there's a lot of different ways to do this that I want to share with you. So we've all probably heard of mental rehearsal at this point. If you haven't, it's the idea of like visualization and actually rehearsing something in your mind before it happens, because studies show that that can actually help you create better results in your life. It can also affect your physical body. There's so many cool studies that show if you mentally rehearse exercises, there's actual changes to your muscles, even if you aren't lifting any weights. So the power of the brain and the mind is so incredibly strong. And that's why mental rehearsal is going to come in clutch when you are working on manifesting money. So here are some of the ways that I like to utilize mental rehearsal in my life, and you can kind of pick and choose whatever you want and just do something, right? It doesn't mean you have to do all of them, like don't overwhelm yourself, but like do something that helps you get into the space where you can actually see and feel the result and the money that you're working on manifesting. Being present in your life. So the first thing that I'll share is about money affirmations and putting them specifically on your bathroom mirror. So I did this at the very, very, very start of my journey in personal development, and I was working on manifesting more money. I was living in Spain, I was totally broke, and I read the book You Are a Badass at Making Money by Jen Sincero. And so from that book, I kind of got some new mindsets and, and ideas and affirmations, and I wanted to write some of these things down and put them in a place that was going to be visible for me every single day. And I wanted to habit stack it so that it would be super easy and I didn't have to like make this extra effort to try and write it in my journal every day, even though that is also a good idea if you love to journal. Good. But if you're someone who's like, I just need it to fit seamlessly into my life without me having to try that hard, then this is a great way to add in some of that rehearsal by putting it on your mirror. Every time that you're in the bathroom brushing your teeth or washing your face or doing skincare or doing makeup or whatever you're doing in there, you're looking at the mirror. For us women who have to get ready and do our hair and all kinds of other shit, like we're usually in there for a while. So that's a great time for you to just look at the mirror while you're doing whatever it is that you're already doing. And recite those money affirmations. So I remember the exact pieces of paper that I had. I had these like they were from my supplies for the schools because I was teaching in schools at the time. And so I had different like colored pieces of paper and all kinds of like supplies for crafts and stuff with the kids that I would do sometimes. So I had these colorful strips of paper. I cut them into like little rectangular strips and I had about like 10 of them and I wrote 10 different money manifestation affirmations on these little pieces of paper, and I taped them to the bottom left corner of my bathroom mirror. And I remember at the time when we were living in Spain, we had a— we had a cleaning lady who would come to our house every so often and just do like a deep clean of the apartment. And I remember thinking like, oh God, this is so embarrassing. She's going to see— she's going to see all of my frickin' pieces of paper all over the mirror, and she would clean around it every time. She would just, you know, not even say a word, just clean around the mirror, clean around the affirmations. I was like, hopefully she can't read them in English so she doesn't understand, and this is less embarrassing. But you know, you just got to— you got to do what you got to do. And I also had a method that I really loved, which was like the sticky note method. And so I had this sticky note that I would keep on the refrigerator at all times,, and I'll talk about that method with you guys as well. I'll just share like the whole thing. So whatever it is, if you're working towards manifesting a very specific amount, I recommend writing it down on a sticky note in the present tense as if it's already happened. So for me, at the beginning of my business, I really, really, really was working towards like that 6-figure mark. I wanted to have a 6-figure business. And so I wrote on the sticky note, I am a 6-figure coach, and I put it on my fridge. And I left it there forever. Like, it was a year until it actually came true, but it was just there all the time. And then even when we traveled, we would go to different places, or we'd go to Jaime's family's house in southern Spain for a couple of weeks in the summer, and I would bring my sticky note pad. And because, you know, we were in a new place and it wasn't on my fridge anymore, I had to put it somewhere else where it was going to be really visible. So I put it on the, um, I put it on the door of like the closet in our bedroom there. And so every day when I would wake up and I would, you know, open the closet to get my bikinis or get dressed or whatever, I would see the I'm a Six Figure Coach and I would recite it in my mind. I'm a Six Figure Coach. I'm a Six Figure Coach. I'm a Six Figure Coach. And actually that sticky note on the door to the closet ended up staying there for an entire year because the following summer when we came back, it was still there. And I was so shocked that his parents hadn't like touched it or taken it down, and the cleaning ladies hadn't messed with it or anything, and it was still there. And I loved the energy of coming back a year later and seeing it. And at that point, it had already come true. I had hit the 6-figure mark, and it was just like a beautiful reminder of this little ritual that I had and how it wasn't silly after all, and it wasn't embarrassing after all, because like, look at me now. I fucking did it. You know, so whether it's on your fridge or your closet or your mirror or wherever you want to put it, like have that amount also be really, really visible. I did this again when I was working towards hitting my first 6-figure month in business, and I took the same idea. I was like, okay, this worked so well when I wanted to become a 6-figure coach, so I'm going to do it with a 6-figure month. And I did the same exact thing. I wrote on a sticky note, I earned $100,000 in March 2023. And I put it on my fridge, and every day I saw it and I read it and I felt it in my body, and I did a little happy dance and I recited it a couple of times. And what do you know, in March of 2023, I earned my first 6-figure month in business. We closed that month with over $120,000 in sales in just the month of March. So it was incredible, and it works. That's the point. That's the main point, is like, it works, it works, it works, it works. It doesn't matter the amount, and it's going to be a different timeline every single time, right? The first time I did it, it took me a year for me to actually get there. And the second time I did it was like 30 days because I had decided and I started moving in that energy and I already had that relationship with money established and I, and I had a purpose and I knew where that money was going to go. And I set the amount and I put it on the fridge and I practiced the mental rehearsal. And so it became my reality, right? So mental rehearsal is really, really powerful. Another version of this, like affirmations-ish but different is the mala bead method. And this is something that we teach inside of Cosmic Cash. And I also practiced this when I was working towards becoming a six-figure coach. And so if you have a mala bead, if you're someone that practices yoga, you probably have one laying around somewhere. You can take your mala beads and you know that there is 108 beads on the mala. And with every bead, as you touch it, you're just going to repeat or recite the affirmation or the money manifestation amount that you're working towards. You just go around the mala as many times as you can. If you can only do one time, then just do it once. It takes a couple of minutes to get, you know, the full 108 times. And so I remember vividly, I would sit on the beach because it was summertime in Spain, and I would sit on the beach and I would pull out my mala bead and I would close my eyes and I would just go, I'm a I'm a 6-figure coach. I'm a 6-figure coach. I'm a 6-figure coach. I'm a 6-figure coach. With every bead I would touch with my hands and with my eyes closed, I would just recite that over and over and over and over again. And so that was something that really helped me. And you can do it with anything. You can do it with just a simple money affirmation. It doesn't have to be a concrete number or goal, but you can also use the mala for affirmations in general. Okay, so when we think about like mental rehearsal, we're thinking about visualization, right? So obviously closing your eyes and actually doing a visualization practice of this future life that you're going to have when the money arrives, that's a really, really valuable practice. And you can do this in a lot of ways. You can just do it with— if you put on some meditation music and you close your eyes and you kind of try to get into the feelings of it, like, all right, where are you? What does your life look like? What are you doing with the money? Try and visualize it showing up in your bank account, opening your bank app, What does it look like to see that number in your account? What does it feel like in your body? Who's the first person that you tell? Who are you calling on the phone? What are you doing in your business? What is it allowing you to buy or invest in? Like, how are things changing for you? You can just close your eyes and start to walk yourself through that process with some meditation music, but you can also use guided meditation. There's millions of them. If you're in my programs, we do lots of them, but you can also find them on YouTube. Anywhere, like guided meditations are going to help you actually get into that closed-eye mental rehearsal visualization practice. Another hack for this is playing music that just simply pumps you up and makes you feel like a rich bitch and getting into the energy and the feeling of what it's going to be like when the money arrives, right? Like, I think this is really good if you're driving because everybody knows that feeling of like it's really good weather, you've got your sunglasses on, you roll the windows down, you're playing like an amazing song that just like pumps you the fuck up. You feel on top of the world whether you feel rich or not. You are in a really high energetic vibration because you're like feeling yourself, you're vibing, right? You're flowing and vibing with life. So the more that you can do that, the more likely you are to be in an energetic alignment for the things that you're trying to attract, attract. Whether it's money or any other type of manifestation in your life, right? It's just kind of like a, a practice to help you feel good more often. But maybe you want to make a playlist for yourself of like Rich Bitch energy or music that really pumps you up and gets you into that vibe, and play that music and do that practice for yourself of like allowing yourself to feel the feelings of like, I made it, I did it, this feels so satisfying, oh my gosh, and it's here. And it happened and everything that I said that I wanted, like, it came true. And oh my God, holy shit. Like, I'm living this life now and what the fuck? Like, this is a miracle. I could cry. Like, just get yourself into that place. And so this practice really speaks more to like the embodiment of wealth, which is extra, extra, extra powerful. It goes a step beyond mental rehearsal. We're not just really thinking about it anymore. We're actually feeling it and experiencing it as if it were real in the body. And I have a whole program about the embodiment of wealth. It's called Wealth Calibration, and it's about really feeling it and anchoring it into the body rather than just having it be up here in your mind or in your head. And so Wealth Calibration is this 4-week journey that is really curated to help you encode the experience of wealth into your somatic memory and your subconscious mind. So that it's not this like guessing game of, oh, I wonder what it would feel like to have all this money and I wonder what it would be like to be rich, but that you actually have a memory of it because you've experienced it, because you've actually felt it happening on a cellular level. Right. And so this course, Wealth Calibration, is curated alongside some industry experts in their fields. And we do a lot of different practices like hypnotherapy and hypno breathwork and sound healing and sex magic and so many other things that are going to help activate you in the realms of wealth that go so far beyond like just the mindset stuff. And so that's taking it a layer deeper when you actually get into like the embodiment of wealth and truly feeling it and creating those somatic memories that allows you to be super, super magnetic and just like in a lot healthier of a state when it comes to attracting money, manifesting money, making money, holding money, spending money, investing money, all of those things. But mental rehearsal in general is super key. So whatever you've taken away from this tip, like just take what feels aligned for you and utilize it in your life, whether it's the mirror affirmations or the sticky note method or the mala beads or the guided visualizations or the Pump Up playlist, like whatever you want to do, take what works and use it. You can also do scripting, which is really powerful. Like I love looking, looking back on some of my journals and realizing that I rehearsed the actual reality that I'm living right now many times over in my journal by just writing it out and saying, I live in a beautiful apartment with floor-to-ceiling windows and the light pours in and I feel inspired to work every day from this space. And I have a 7-figure business and I love my clients and I'm impacting thousands of women and the podcast is top ranked and has millions of downloads. Like I wrote all of those things out and then they came true. So if you are someone who does like to write and script, then that's an awesome practice and can also kind of fall into this category of that mental rehearsal. Okay. Our last and final step, step number 8, is to become a different person. You literally have to become a different person in order to attract new levels of wealth and abundance in your life. Because here's the thing. The current you is the you that's an energetic match for the reality that you are experiencing. If we are operating on the assumption of the fact that— the assumption of the fact that— that's kind of contradictory. But if we are operating from the assumption that the law of attraction is real, right, and like attracts like, and if we can start to operate at the energetic frequency of the things that we're desiring, then we will become more magnetic to them and we will move in different ways and we will take different actions that are aligned with those things. And then those things will appear into our lives if we are operating from that assumption. Then we understand that we have to be different in order to get different. We have to be different in order to receive different. So the current you is the you that is an energetic match for what you are experiencing and living right now in your life. So if you want something different, you need to become a different person. And what does it mean to become a different person? It means that you need to start to adopt a new personality. You need to adopt a new belief system. One of my favorite psychologists and authors, Benjamin Hardy, talks about this idea of your personality not being permanent. And so when we say develop a new personality, it doesn't mean forget who you are and completely change everything about you. But I think he even has a whole book about like— I think the title is like Personality Isn't Permanent. Look it up. Benjamin Hardy, Personality Isn't Permanent. But it's about the— I did a whole episode on this like years ago. Um, but it's this whole idea that like when you start to change your thoughts and what you think over and over again routinely, those start to then become beliefs, and those beliefs start to turn into actions that you take in the world, and those actions create different results and they give you different feedback about who you are and what's possible, which then reignites that cycle of now I'm thinking different and now I'm believing different and now I'm moving different and now I'm receiving different. Right? So you actually have to do something different if you want to get a different result. If you want to break beyond the bounds of the current reality that you're experiencing, then you need to literally become a new version of you. You need to make some fucking moves. You need to do something different. I don't care what it is, but you can apply for a new job. You can go after a promotion. You can schedule a meeting with HR and talk about getting a raise. You can hire your dream business coach. You could get in a mastermind, you could go on a retreat, you could edit your daily routines, you could wake up different, you could think different, you could move different. You just need to start becoming a different person because the you that you are is the you that attracted this current experience that you're having. And so if you want something beyond that, then you need to become something beyond that. And that's not going to happen by you doing the same shit every day and by you taking the same level of risk. And waking up in the same way and repeating the same patterns and thinking the same thoughts and talking to the same people and sitting in the same rooms. Like, you need to do something different. Become a different person. Be open to that journey. Be excited about it. Make it fun. It doesn't have to be this, like, you know, daunting task of, oh my God, I have to change so much about my life because who I am currently only attracts this level of abundance, and boohoo. It's so hard, like, get excited about it. You get to take more risks. You get to be more brave. You get to access new levels of courage. You get to do different shit that you've never done before. You get to go on a trip because you deserve it and you know it's going to change your life in some way. Do something different. Make fucking moves. That is the most important part of manifesting money is actually being willing to take the aligned, inspired action and do different things that you haven't done before. And this is going to test your fear. It's going to test your doubt. It's going to test your self-trust. It's going to test you on everything. But that's the fucking point. Because if your doubt and your fear and your self-trust don't ever get tested, then they don't grow. They don't evolve. They don't become bigger, larger, better, firmer, stronger. And that is actually what needs to happen. Watch this. In order for you to become the person that can hold more money, that can hold more risk, that can hold more responsibility, that can hold more wealth. So your fear and your doubt and your risk tolerance and all of it, of course it has to be tested. Of course it's going to challenge you to become a different person. Of course it's going to feel scary because that's part of the whole design of this, right? It's divinely designed so that in you pursuing more, you inevitably come energetically available to hold that more. Because you pass those tests, because you move through the hard and you come out the other side. And now only when that happens are you the person that can receive more of that abundance and hold more of that responsibility and operate from a place of higher wealth and money. All right.
