In this episode, I want to talk about abundance and what that means. Many people talk about having and creating abundance. Usually, abundance comes down to things that you have. Abundance has nothing to do with what you have. It is not about how much money you have or the things that you possess. It’s nothing like that. It’s not even about lifestyle. It’s about a way of being and how you live your life, a conscious choice every single day to choose abundance in the face of scarcity.
The heart of abundance is truly living an excellent life. Not going with the mediocre but actually doing something that makes a difference. Click To TweetI love to tell people that you’re never truly an abundant person unless you choose abundance in the face of scarcity, faith in the face of fear, and create rather than to destroy or consume. You choose every single day to be abundant and live an excellent life. The heart of abundance is truly living an excellent life and living a life of excellence, not going with the mediocre or the day-to-day normal routine, but doing something that makes a difference. It’s something that’s uncommon.
If people want to live that life, that’s up to them. If you’re reading this blog, I would assume that you guys are doing that because you want something bigger and better in your life, like me. The whole reason I got into business was because I wanted something more. I didn’t want someone to turn in my destiny. I didn’t want somebody to control all of my time and how much money I made. I wanted to be able to live my life on my own terms.
I shared a great quote on Facebook that I think comes to that. It’s one from Robert Allen. If you guys know who Robert Allen is, he has written several books somewhere on real estate and other personal development-type things. It is more popular back in the ‘90s. He said, “Don’t let the opinions of the average man sway you. Dream, and he thinks you’re crazy. Succeed, and he thinks you’re lucky.”
I don’t know if you got many naysayers in your life, but maybe you had people like me who want to call bull on you in your life. I still get people that do that all the time. People say, “Chris, your life is not as great as you portray it to be.” That’s their perception. I love my life. It doesn’t mean my life isn’t challenge-free because those people don’t exist. Everybody has challenges and living the same life, trying to create something different.
What I have noticed is that when you create excellence, true abundance in life comes down to how you live your life and how excellent you are. Not when it comes to money. Although that is a big focus of the show, a lot of times, it is around your profession, your business, or your money. It comes down to every facet of life because I would be a failure if all I taught you to do were how to have more money. There are a lot of people that have lots of money, but they are broke. They don’t have good relationships in their lives. They can’t keep relationships around, so they don’t have people that truly care for them. They’re not rich and love in their life or rich in relationships. They’re not rich in health.
I have known people that have had multimillion-dollar businesses, but their health failed them to the point where I eventually lost the money anyways. Maybe they are lacking on the spiritual side and emotionally, they struggle. Whatever that might look like. Those are the things that we want to ensure that it’s not about the money, but it’s about excellence and abundance in all areas of your life. It is a way of living and life, a conscious choice every single day.
You are one idea away from a million dollars. Click To TweetI want to talk about a concept that I have already mentioned on other shows before, but I want to reiterate it and talk about how this shows up. Specifically, we talk about the morning ritual, the power hour, or the hour of power, as Tony Robbins calls it, what you do every single day. If you’re in that situation, whether the money is there or not, this is something that is important. If the money is there for you and you got good money coming in, this is still essential because I have noticed that all successful people do this.
I have watched also that when people don’t do this, they will quickly lose money. It doesn’t have to be an hour exactly. That’s not the point. The point is that you do some ritual each day that you phase into your life, where you include mental, spiritual, and physical preparation first thing in the day. I don’t want you to spread it throughout the entire day, but it can be spread throughout the morning.
For example, when I first wake up, I like to go out and work out. I’m 39 years old right now. I feel like I’m in about the best shape of my life. I’m pleased with where I am now. I had to work hard over the last year, especially as I put more focus on that to get that health back. I have been eating better foods and working out more consistently. I do like strength three days a week and endurance three days a week, or at least try to and not perfect, but at least I’m doing something like that on a pretty regular basis.
I’m getting stronger and faster, and I feel better. It gives me more energy and allows me to do what I do every day. The energy to wake yourself up is essential if you’re trying to find ways to create value for people and you’re trying to get creative. Your mind doesn’t wake up until your body does. You could try to meditate on a rock all day long.
You could try to do all you can to study and read up, but if your body isn’t in sync, it’s going to be hard for your mind to catch up. Your mind will drag. Your whole energy will feel slower. If you want more energy and you want to be able to get out and accomplish more, you need to have the physical part of your exercise in that daily routine. However that looks, you don’t have to be training for half marathons like I do. You don’t have to be working out hard or anything like that to build more muscle. It could simply be going for a walk.
I don’t care if it’s like sit-ups or pushups in your house, crunches, or whatever. I don’t care if it’s like doing a little stair stepper to wake yourself up, get your body moving and get your blood pumping. Dance or do whatever you want to do. I don’t like doing the whole spinning glass thing. I’m not a big stationary bike person, where I sit there and spin a bike in one place. That is like I don’t like treadmills. I like to get out. This morning I went for a nice little fall hike. I came on a run hike that I did with my friend, and I loved it. Not to mention, I got awesome pictures like pictures on my memory and pictures of her Facebook.
Our whole existence is not just to survive or make a lot of money and die. We're here to bless other people's lives. Click To TweetThose are the things that you want to show up and do. Those are the things you want to do to create more excellence in your life. That’s the first thing. The second thing is mental. What books are you reading? What things are you studying? Who you’re listening to? Who are your mentors? I hope this is part of your mental preparation. Make this part of it. Listen to these, get a little quick 15 to 20 minutes pick me up. That stuff is cool.
Journal, read books, listen to podcasts, or whatever it is. Whatever gets your mind going. It could be your own inspiration, and that ties in with spirituality too. It is writing down and journaling your own thoughts, emotions, and inspirational things that you pick up on. It might be those a-ha moments. Whatever that looks like, start to do that. Read scriptures, pray, meditate, do yoga, whatever that looks like for you. Get your spirit in tune with yourself. Get to yourself with the core. Aligned with who you are. Get your mental state aligned as well along with your physical body. When those three areas coincide, mental, physical, and spiritual, the other two areas of your life create more benefits, which are specifically financial and relationships.
Think about this. If every day you start to get your body moving, feel better physically, get your mind active, start to study and become better, study up and also to be spiritually aligned, whatever that trade is or whatever it is that you’re looking to do to become better, would you agree that you show up better in your relationships? Would you agree that maybe you might be more on point and more in a place to receive better inspiration to then make more money? You are one idea and one relationship away from $1 million.
When I went through my roughest times, when I didn’t have any money, when I had to create money from nothing, seemingly nothing with no credit, no savings, everything was maxed out, and I had to create this routine every day was the thing that kept me going. This is the thing that helped me to be able to pull through because I knew that every day was a new day. If I could create and start from that day doing this routine, that would allow me to create more. That allowed me to say, “Today is perfect.” Even if the rest of the weeks, months, or years before that stunk, I could create something new and start the day off right.
Some of my best inspiration happened when I was doing my workouts, journaling, in the shower, or after I did all this. Sometimes my best inspiration happens in the shower and I’m brushing my teeth or driving. I like to call it the shower of power when that happens. Those inspirations are things that might be the things that God, the universe, or whatever you like to call it, but when you’re attuned with your spirit, it likes to send to you to say, “This is what you need.”
My whole cashflow processes help people free up tens of millions of dollars and make more money too. All of that has happened because of these little routines. I get a little bit of inspiration. Sometimes I’ll get this little a-ha moment in my mind as I’m working out. I have a client that day who needs that thing that I got the a-ha moment on. I can’t tell you how many times that has happened. That is where I know that I’m receiving inspiration from other people. I think that is where our gifts are meant for.
When you start to elevate and truly live that life of excellence, that's when abundance is created. Click To TweetOur whole existence isn’t to survive or even to make a lot of money and die. I believe that we’re here to bless others’ lives. We’re here to bring other people with us, help them excel, elevate, edify them, and become better as well as we become better. We’re all in this race together. We’re all imperfect beings trying to create more excellent, perfect lives as much as we can.
When you can do something like this, this is where you can get a win every single day, regardless of your circumstances. When you start to do this, and you start to focus on getting better in all these areas, creating goals in each of these five areas, mental, physical, spiritual, relational, or social, whatever you want to call that as well as financial, you start creating goals or objectives in these areas and watch what will happen. You start to elevate some of these areas, and all of them will start to elevate together.
If you feel like you’re stuck, things need to change, and you’re ready for that next level, start to elevate these different areas. Even if you’re doing something like this in the morning, find a way to do it better. Add something to it. Add some more quality or depth to it and watch what will happen. There’s always the next level. There’s always somewhere better that you can go, no matter how awesome you think you are. I know even I can improve. There are always ways I can add things to my lifestyle to make things better.
When you start to elevate and you start to truly live that life of excellence, that’s when abundance is created. That’s when you start to see excellent things and you surpass the mediocre. That’s when people start to say either 1) You’re delusional or 2) You’re lucky. As you start to achieve those things, they will say, “You just got lucky.” The reality is it’s a simple, successful formula that, when applied, even though it takes a lot of discipline to do it day in and day out, massive results happen. You start to create a life where people say, “I want to figure out what you’re doing and what is going on.” All successful people do something like this.
I have met lots of successful people, millionaires, and even billionaires in the last few months. Almost all of them do something like this, but not all of them are brilliant. They are not that smart. They will admit that themselves. Some of them are emotionally unstable, and they still create success. I want you to feel hope and inspiration that they are normal people like you and I are.
We’re all imperfect. We’re all creating the other, but it’s ordinary people like you and me. When we start to do extraordinary things, extraordinary results occur. It’s not extraordinary people. It’s ordinary people doing extraordinary habits day in and day out. That’s my challenge to you this week. Make sure you go out and make it happen, create abundance and do what you know you’re called to do. Everybody, make a great prosperous week. We’ll talk to you later.
