#385 – How is "going it alone" keeping you from wealth?

If, as Jim Rohn famously said, "You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with," then the money you make will also be that average.

I saw this happen in real life with my father.

As a life-long salaried professional, he'd grown used to the "there's never enough" litany. His and my mother's tastes outsized their combined salaries, so they lived "loan to loan."

After Universal Music fired him, he tried a few avenues, all of which left him trapped in the never-enough camp, wishing for more despite hard work, creativity, and determination.

Until he co-founded a music-publishing company with a friend, another executive from the industry.

Unlike my father, this friend had never, ever tolerated low pay. He lived in a grand apartment on one of the most exclusive avenues in Madrid, and never thought a different life was possible. He was wealthy and would remain that way.

He "taught" my father to be rich. And I don't mean he taught him how to make money or how to behave like a wealthy person.

What this friend brought was the absolute certainty that they would succeed––because it was mandatory for him to make money. No room for doubt: the company would make tons of money.

It happened and my father, in his late 50's, came across more money he'd ever envisioned.

He'd entered a new camp: one where abundance was not only possible, but energetically determined.

On his own, while keeping the family's financial struggles hidden––the Ghost of Isolation in his mind tsk-tsking, if people knew!––he couldn't escape the downward energy of his own limiting beliefs.

But when his wealth-is-the-only-way-believing friend brought him into his sphere, money started flowing. Something had shifted.

Something he couldn't see or even imagine when he was trying to go alone.

How can you join the energetically-determined abundance camp by choosing whom you hang out with?

Love,

Carolina
