Spend your money on THIS

The way you should spend your money is not the same for every person. For one person, the best thing that could spend money on is the perfect purse and an incredible watch. There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s not what I like to spend my money on though. I think it’s important no matter who you are or how wealthy (or not wealthy) you are, you should figure what you like to spend money on. What matters most to you? For me, it’s not purses or watches. I believe in spending a good amount on a house you love and a car that you love. (Or a truck in my case.) Beyond that I think it’s up to YOU to figure out what makes you happy. Sidenote before I carry on: I’m not saying money buys happiness. I’m not saying you can’t be poor and happy. What I am saying is that money buys access to things and experiences. Those things should never be the foundation for your happiness, but they can amplify it. That’s all money is. An amplifier. If you’re an asshole, being rich will make you more of an asshole. If you’re generous, being rich will make you more generous…and more able to act upon that generosity. (Something I’ll talk about in another email.) All that being said… I love experiences. I love traveling and doing wild shit. I love staying in beautiful places and doing things most people won’t ever do. I just spent 8 days in Norway at a Viking village with a group of entrepreneurs. We got to do things that very few people will ever get to do. If I didn’t have money, I wouldn’t have been able to do those things. Now I’m in France at a fancy hotel. I got to take a helicopter from St. Tropez to Nice and eat at one of the most beautiful restaurants I've ever been to. I don’t say any of this to boast or sound cool. I promise you. If I didn’t teach about money, I wouldn’t even talk about it. I say it because I’m demonstrating an important point. See, for the past few years I’ve taken less trips than ever before…despite having more money than ever before. I was focused on business and other things and kept putting off big trips out of the country. This trip has reminded me of one of my biggest WHYs for having money: Doing epic shit. When I do stuff like I’ve done over the past few weeks it inspires me more than anything else. It makes me want to make more money. It makes me want to have more money that I can give away. It makes me want to be a better version of myself. Flying on a helicopter was awesome. I want to be able to do that when I feel like it without worrying about money. Staying in Norway for almost two weeks was epic and expensive. I want to make sure I can travel there again without thinking about money or work. That means I have stuff I need to do to make sure that happens. Now I have a clearer picture in my head of WHY I do the work I do. (Other than the intrinsic value of helping people - which is super fucking important.) I have a REASON to grow my business and ensure that it grows without me having to do more work. A bigger bank account is not a reason that most brains can truly understand. The human brain is better at emotions than numbers. We are more likely to motivated by love or fear than numbers. We are more likely to be motivated by experiences, adventures, or things, than more commas on a digital screen. That’s why it’s so important to understand your WHY behind making money. The more you understand your WHY, the more likely you are to improve your monetary circumstances. Beyond that, the more you understand YOUR unique relationship to money, the more you'll make and keep. Once you understand your money blocks - and learn how to get rid of them - you're life will change in a profound way. I created a course called Remove Your Money Blocks that shows you your biggest blocks and how to get rid of them. And you get 5 meditations to help remove your blocks at a deep level. One meditation for each block. If you wanna change your relationship to money I recommend you check it out. [ Click here to check it out]( In a lot of ways, the Remove Your Money Blocks course is my favorite because it's a topic that's so misunderstood. So many "gurus" focus on skills but not on the deep relationship to money that we developed in our childhood. I've watched people's lives change just from removing a single money block. That's all for today. Talk soon, Ian "figure what you love" Stanley Sent to: {EMAIL} [Unsubscribe]( Almost Passive Income, 3000 Mountain Shadow Rd, Boise, ID 83702, United States
