I believe deeply in practicing abundance. Whatever signal you send into the world gets sent back to you. If you send out scarcity youâll get scarcity back. If you send out abundance, youâll get it back. The best money advice I ever heard was from my friendâs dad. I never even met the guy but his son told it to me and it changed my life. He said "If you believe money is a scarce resource, it is one. If you believe itâs an abundant resource, it becomes one." I heard that when I was still in college and had a time fully understanding it. I was raised super frugal. I read menus at restaurants right to left. Whatâs the cheapest item? Iâll take that. As a kid I hoarded money and only spent it on things I had saved up for for months. My parents constantly talked about how much things costâ¦and they still do. Iâm telling you this because I want you to know that abundance didnât always come easy to me. I had to work at it. I still do. Youâre never done with your journey of improving your relationship to money. You just get better. Yesterday my girlfriend, her brother, his wife, and I took a ferry from Nice to St. Tropez. We all met up in France for a week to have some fun during their honey moon. The ferry took two and a half hours. The water wasnât too choppy but Kristen (Whitneyâs sister in law) gets sea sick easily and wasnât feeling great for a lot of the ride. While Kristen was feeling sick I threw out the idea of taking a helicopter back. It wasnât really a serious comment but it also kinda was. We had already paid for the ferry round trip so we werenât gonna have to pay a dime more for that. After a couple hours of walking around St Tropez I asked Lynn (Whitneyâs brother) if he had looked up how much a helicopter would cost. I was expecting it be around $5,000 which just seemed too expensive to me. He said "$2,000." I said "oh shit, thatâs not bad. I say we do it. We could split it. Pay $1,000 each." He said "Iâm good with that but I donât wanna have to figure out the details." Iâm not normally a details guy but when it involves flying along the French coast in a helicopter Iâm shockingly into the details haha. I found a company called Blade thatâs basically Uber for helicopters. (Yes, Iâm aware of how crazy that sounds haha.) I called them to book a helicopter and they said they could pick us up in a van in an hour and take us to the helipad. I gave her my credit card info and then something interesting happened. I couldnât stop smiling. It was like my face had a problem. I walked back into the restaurant with a massive shit-eating grin on my face. "Weâre booked." We cheers our drinks and got excited. Then we talked a bit about money and our beliefs about it. Itâs interesting because renting a helicopter for a 20 minute flight seems a bit outrageous to most people. Myself included. But as I thought about it more, it made more sense. $1,000 isnât something I was going to notice missing from my bank account. However, I would definitely notice flying in a helicopter along the French coast. It would be a memory Iâd have forever. And it would take 2 hours less to get back to our hotel. But for me it was really about the experience. I love doing exciting shit. I love having experiences that are uncommon. So thatâs how I made the decision. Whatâs more important to me? $1,000 in my account? Or an unforgettable helicopter flight? For me, it was the helicopter flight. And more importantlyâ¦itâs not as binary a question as it might seem. See, did paying $1,000 for a helicopter flight actually cost me $1,000? Or did it signal abundance to my nervous system and make me more likely to make a bunch of money? Thatâs what I wanna talk about tomorrow because this email has gotten long. Talk soon,

The helicopter ride was amazing. The van took us to a vineyard in the countryside where a helicopter was waiting for us. It felt fake. It was 100% worth every penny.
