The hidden drain on your income

The coming years will suck for many.
Much of this will be tied to our ability to make money.
Most people are living hand to mouth.
And that’s even without the inevitable job losses that are already here.
Knowing how to make your own income streams without relying on some employer who could drop you at any moment is becoming THE skill.
You want to know how to make this work.
My suggestion, from my corner of the Internet, is to learn how creators and entrepreneurs are using the Internet and their own skills to make money.
But years of working with these people has shown me a great divide separating those who win and those who end up quitting.
The ones who make a good living from what they create aren’t necessarily more intelligent or talented.
In fact, they are often very average in this sense.
But they ARE good at thinking under pressure.
It seems most people are not. They are deluded easily by their own worries.
But that’s the skill I’ve learned to get good at so I can succeed making my own money online.
It’s about learning to stay calm when things get challenging, as they will.
Making your own money requires clear thinking.
Every hour you spend tangled in anxious thoughts is an hour you're not creating, building and persuading people to buy your products.
Stress stalls you.
And, often, the more you try to 'manage' these thoughts through willpower or positive thinking, the more they multiply.
You can't think your way out of overthinking.
And as I’ve shared in a thousand different ways over the years with you, stress isn’t actually caused by your circumstances.
It seems like they do. That your lack of money is stressing you. But it’s not.
It’s your thoughts about your circumstances that stresses you.
And that stress makes you less effective.
You become dumber.
(Not good when you need to see the next right move.)
Whenever I feel my stress rise, I remind myself that it’s my thinking that’s doing this.
I calm down quickly.
That’s when the wisdom I need appears.
By the way, if you need help with this and you’re tired of continually holding yourself back because of (avoidable) stress, you’ll like my course.
The Untethered Mind course helps you reduce stress in a unique way so you can think with the clarity you need.
You will be guided through a series of insights about how the mind works in a specific order.
This shift in understanding will make you more skilled at stopping stress early.
