Make It a Game

• Log all money that comes to you in a journal . Whether it's a new client or you find a penny on the ground, log it. If you are shopping for a new toaster and you get it on sale for $10 off, write it down. Acknowledge your money magnetism and counting each cent as evidence that you are in the flow with money. This keeps your focus on the money you do have, not the money that it isn't here yet.
• Set a small money goal each day or week . If on average you pull in $2000 a week, focus on $2100 a week. As soon as you get $2100, focus on $2200. This makes the target bigger, but not so big that it seems hard.
• Make a list of what you are going to do with your money once you manifest the desired amount . For instance, I'm in the middle of an ongoing house remodel. So, the first thing I focused on after the bulk of remodel was done was picking out water faucets. I shopped until I found the most perfect choices and then decided the date by which I'd buy them. Once the money came in, I did the same process with ceiling fans for every room. Then, onto the six-burner range with convection oven and a dishwasher. By focusing on what the money would buy me, I got very excited and took inspired actions toward the purchases.

• Contact a certain number of people each day for new business . I'm not necessarily talking about cold calling. Make contact with people who can connect you with your target market. People who you know already but who may not know you are looking for new clients. Follow up on new or old leads. It's just about connecting, not focusing on the selling.
• Get five people to say no to you each day . I played this game and filled my coaching practice. I would ask people if they knew someone who'd like coaching or if they'd like a sample session to taste my style of coaching. I rarely got five no responses in one day because so many people said yes. When you focus on getting a "No," it takes away the fear of rejection.

• If I'm pruning roses, I tell myself I'll fill three buckets or prune two bushes and then I'll stop.
• You can set time limits as to when you'll finish the job and see how much you can accomplish in that time frame. Add some high-energy music to the mix for extra oomph or take along your favorite smoothie, coffee drink, or cocktail!
• Ask a friend or family member for help. When my son is in the garden with me, I can work for hours. Or when I was moving, two of my friends came over and made me show them everything in my closet and they voted if I could keep it or not. They made a job to which I had complete resistance very easy.
