Send an invoice to your intentions

Part 1 - Attracting more money into your life

This is the first in a series of six ‘attracting’ articles.

Most people want more money in their lives, I know I do. Why do you really want it? That might sound a simple enough question but it is surprising the number of people who do not know why they want more money.

To attract more money it is better to have a goal in mind, know exactly what you want. It’s like someone asking you what job you want to do; you wouldn’t say ‘I don’t know I just want a job, any job’.

Know how much money you want and know why you want it.

Tuning in to the correct mindset

I have been practicing the attracting of money for over 1 year now. I have not had the millions rolling in but I now reckon I can pay off my mortgage in around 5 years thanks to extra money coming in. I originally aimed to pay off the mortgage in 1 year and become a professional blogger. That was 6 months ago, I have not reached anywhere near paying off the mortgage but I am a lot closer to my goal. I started with wanting to pay off £75,000 and am now at about £65,000, £10,000 within 1 year is fantastic compared to where I used to be a few years ago.

I believe the reason I have not reached the full target yet is my deep-seated belief that I might not get there, or the fear of success. Strange as it may sound I have still not fully engaged in the mindset of being able to pay off my mortgage, it still sounds too good to be true. However, every day I see the results of changing my mindset towards money and I am seeing the results.

To attract more money in your life you have to chip away at the deep-seated belief that it is not possible. Once the chips come off, more money will come. It’s like going for a job. Have you ever gone for a job thinking I’ll never get this job and lo and behold, you didn’t get it? Conversely have you ever gone for a job very confident thinking this is the perfect job for me, and lo and behold, you got the job. I believe this is your energy getting into the rhythm.

Imagine there are 100 different radio stations all with different life stations; you have to tune to a different frequency for each life station, one for attracting money, one for attracting your ideal partner, one for your perfect job and so on. So it is with life, you have to tune to the correct frequency to attract the things you want in life.

How to tune in to the money life station

There is a great way to tune into the money life station, one of only many.

To tune in, use your imagination and have fun with this one.

Send a sales invoice to the universe

Every day for 1 month, I would like you to send an invoice to the universe. Download this excel spreadsheet, I have pre filled it in with 1 item to show you what to do, what you have to do is fill your name at the top, your name and address, date, invoice number, etc.

On the first day, you have $1000, on the second day you have $2000, on the third day you have $3000 until at the end of day 30 or 31 you will have $30,000 or $31,000 to spend.

You can have as many items as you want for that day as long as it totals the amount for that particular day e.g. if you are on day 5 you have to pick items totalling $5000. It’s also a case of use it or lose it, if you don’t use the full amount for that day you lose it, you can’t carry it over to the next day.

When you are filling in the items, be as specific as possible, for example if it’s a TV you want fill in the model number, or a computer, fill in the exact make and model.

When you have filled it in either print it out and put it away in a folder or put it in a folder on your desktop.

How sending an invoice to the universe helps

This helps on many levels.

Exercising your imagination: this exercise will force you to use your imagination to come up with new items every day. It’s not as easy as you might think.

Sets up your intention: This will help you to send out the intention that you are ready for money to enter your life and will do it on a regular basis reinforcing the intentions every day.

Whether you believe it or not your vibrations will begin to match your intentions and money will start to come into your life. Don’t give up on this, try it for the full 30 days.

Spend the money on yourself at least 10 of the 30 days. I know many people will have immediately thought I will add my son’s new bike to the list, or my daughter’s new laptop to the list. Think about yourself as well; spend at least 10 of the 30 days spending money on yourself. All the other days you can spend on anything you want including money for your family and friends.

Believing you deserve money

Doing this exercise for 30 days helps to change your belief that you do not deserve money. This can be the block that many people have in their lives. They have a deep-seated belief that they somehow do not deserve money in their lives and when they get it, they feel guilty. I sometimes still feel guilty about spending money on a new computer, or new clothes, or anything for myself but it is passing.

There is enough for everyone in the world should they want it. You cannot change everybody in the world, so for the moment be content to change yourself and your family and then work on others when you have yourself sorted out. You cannot help and change others beliefs about money unless you have sorted yourself out first.

You deserve everything you want from the world, change your mindset toward money and you will receive it.

This exercise is good fun and exercises your imagination, and helps you to reinforce your money mindset.

Let me know if you have any stories with this and if it works for you.

Happy spending.

Comment by Tomaz on 17 September 2007:

Very good post but what interests me is what success are you afraid of?

And if your idea of sounding too good to be true is shaking your beliefs of actually reaching that goal, it’s better to imagine a reachable goal first in which you DO believe and then continue with higher goals when you reach your first destination.

Good article but what i want to point out is that this article’s formatting went wrong in my Google Reader. You can see the screenshot in the following link:

You remind me of my accounting course with this invoice thing.

hI sTEVEN great article. I just wanted to add there is a great program by Dr Robert Anthony called The secret of Deliberate Creation. It is a great program and I also want to point out I have no affiliation with this program at all. I’m not even an affiliate to this program it is just a great program that I have been using and getting great results and it just matches with your insight. The whole purpose of the respond was to let you know your article gave me another tool to further me in my travels.thanks so much jimi

Hi,

Grat post…..I’m reading “The Secret’ and it talks about doing what you’ve suggested.

Comment by Sue on 18 September 2007:

Now THIS is an experiment that’ll be fun! Off to do my shopping!

Comment by Bill Clees on 18 September 2007:

Hello Steve,
Interesting comments. I have read the “Secret” and studied the Laws of Attraction. What I came away with was really the power of FOCUS. By sending your thoughts and “wishes” to the universe is only part of the exercise. The balance is to confidently “believe” you have already achieved or attained that for which you have “billed” the Universe. Action is the key. Action has to be taken one way or another to realize your dreams or fulfill useful intentions.

Thanks
Bill

Comment by Sue on 18 September 2007:

Well, now it’s REALLY game on, because I got so excited I didn’t read the full instructions! I filled the invoice with $30,000 worth, since September has 30 days. And it’s the first day of the experiment!

Only up from here?!

Comment by Luanne on 18 September 2007:

Hi Steve. Great article. I truly believe in what you are talking about. In my business we live on the “Symbiotoc” philosophy and what you talked about is exactly what we are taught.

This just re-enforces what I’ve learned over the years. Great job!!

Comment by David Tupica on 19 September 2007:

You have certainly nailed this one. I must agree that most people don’t really know how much money they need or want, they just want more. It’s always better to have a pre-defined amount that you are working toward. But also, what are the true benefits that will come from the money. It’s not really the money but what the money can do. And the real prize is not necessarily how much money you create, but rather, what kind of person you must evolve into to reach that goal.

Comment by William on 19 September 2007:

When you first hear that there is a fear of Success it doesn’t really make sense. Why would we be afraid? I think it’s true, even if it is buried deep in the subconscious. I think that’s why your process might work. You train your mind to believe.
Good luck to all!

Comment by Eric on 20 September 2007:

Hi Steve,

Great article. I love the spreadsheet idea. I think you hit the nail on the head with your observation on the need to chip away at the deep seated beliefs most of us have about success and especially around money. There is a certain vibration around the word “money” that we all carry, unfortunately for most of us that vibration is more on the negative side which keeps us stuck, spinning our wheels and attracting more of the same stuff into our lives. It does take a lot of resolve and a bit of determination to keep moving moving forward until the breakthroughs start coming. But it is worth it.

Hi Steve,

I guess I have been attracted to your blog and
I am glad. Thank you for the Excel Spreadsheet, I
like it and will use it, and thanks for sharing about
your own experiences on the law of attraction.

Perhaps I like to just share also, that you can
go to http://www.thesecret.tv/secret-treasures.html
to download the The Bank of the Universe check,
print it out and write our own names and the amount there
and paste it up on your vision board.

Be Blessed

great article.

Comment by Sue J on 26 September 2007:

This was, I thought such an interesting concept - similar to the one that says, out the picture on your fridge of what you aspire to, or write down your goals, be specific and give them timescales.
As a careers adviser, I recommend this action planning process is to anyone seeking to make changes.
The real power of change is set up by how the mind deals with it - each of us has different mindsets and beliefs that affect this. This is why there will always be some people who will need help - either to reflect on and understand themselves, or managing the process of change - because this involves action to change and make a difference
