Money Won't Solve Your Problems

A rather controversial topic that many people don't like to hear!
So let's unpack that a bit...
In my mentorship world when I'm working with the more inexperienced entrepreneurs, it's often met with something like:?
"Yeah right! If I had $20,000 right now I could pay off this debt and hire that person and move to this place or x, y, z!"??
Here's the truth:
A?lack of money is always the SYMPTOM of a problem. It is never the problem.
This is where a combination of laws come in, similar to that of the law of gravity. Whether you like it or not is irrelevant...?the law of gravity just is.?
The laws are exacting and pay no heed to whether you're a sweet old granny or a 4-month-old baby, for example. The law remains precise and of equal applicability to both the sweet old lady and the baby.
Either one can fall off the roof of a 10-story building and... well, you know what will happen. Either one can walk in the road and get hit by a bus.?
Making money is a science with exacting principles, just like the law of gravity. If you've studied Wallace D. Wattles' book first written in 1910,?"The Science of Getting Rich", you'd understand what I'm referring to.??
The ART of making money, however, is a whole different arena!
Because this is the playground in which we have to re-align?and fortify a multitude of factors such as our emotions, thoughts, feelings, beliefs and values right through to our desires, discipline, commitment, focus and determination to see things through.?
For example, if you're struggling with a lack of sales right now (aka Income/Revenue) –?
And the answer is... YOU!?
The business owner and sole individual responsible for creating and executing said strategies with their related tactics.
Whether it's a belief problem, a discipline problem, a knowledge or experience problem,?or a creative thinking problem:?it still falls on you as the current root cause.??
Even if?you're an established business owner who employs a marketing director, you are still responsible for the human you deployed within your team to fulfill said role?and responsibilities. You're still the one managing them, assessing results,?and providing your sign off to the ideas.??
All great leaders know that the buck starts and ends with us.?Always.
We don't blame our designers or PA / VA or outsourced suppliers/partners or mentors or coaches or team...?Nobody else. We don't play the "blame game".
Because we know this to be true: As within, so without. Even when it's a tough pill to swallow.
Pro Tip: If you've heard someone say something like: "You should've seen what X?website designer or Y?artist or Z team member did!"... My friends, walk away.
That human will do and say the exact same of you behind your back at some point, too, and it's simply because they haven't yet elevated their consciousness or raised their standards.
Shifting blame onto others for the results and outcomes we experience in our lives is is not leadership. It's cowardice.
Taking personal responsibility and holding yourself accountable for every single result, condition, circumstance and experience?currently reflected in your life is mission-critical to your holistic personal development and self-actualization.
Especially when we don't like what we see.?
To share one of my favorite Confucius quotes that ties in with us accepting responsibility for everything we experience: "The archer who misses his mark does not blame the target. He stops, corrects himself, and shoots again."
See, the steadfast natural laws and hermetic principles apply to each of us.
Going back to MONEY and why it won't solve your problems:
Whether you're flat broke or making millions, think about it...
There are ways you're thinking which causes you to behave/act in certain ways, which results in your outcomes. Whether good or bad, whether you like the outcomes or not: it all starts and ends with YOU. You are literally at the center of every experience you've ever had.

This is the Law of Cause & Effect I'm referring to, and it's only one of the seven hermetic principles that govern every single on of the planet. Multiple other subsidiary laws exist, too. Again, like the law of gravity: it just exists.
When we learn to work with the laws and principles, both for our personal and professional lives, great things happen.
So, when Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp went down on Monday:
For our world's brave and budding solopreneur superstars and personal brands reading this:
It is irresponsible for any business owner to believe that they can build and run a successful business on borrowed real estate.?
I wasn't even aware that those platforms were down until about 4.5 hours after the fact. I actually giggled when I saw all the "hoo haa" happening because my business was built on solid foundations and I was focused on my own tasks for the day.?
I learned about them being down based on the sudden flooding of my inbox when I logged back in later.
Just like 'old school'?laws and principles apply to the human factor in terms of our personal development, it's the same for business owners who wish to grow a sustainable business and be handsomely paid for it:?
STRATEGY SOLVES PROBLEMS.?
Think better = Do better = Get better results.?
Money itself is just a beautiful energy, a supportive tool, a powerful resource to make the journey of problem-solving a?lot easier and far more FUN!
Einstein long ago taught us well: "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking used when we created them."?
Perhaps it's time to introduce a fresh, objective, internationally awarded perspective into your world so you can start thinking, perceiving and taking action differently... to create the different results and outcomes you seek?
