Moms need tools to get out of financial crisis and to create abundance in their life. If you were one of the people who borrowed large sums of money on a home equity line of credit or were talked into borrowing money on a second and third mortgage, you may need to reevaluate your financial tool kit.
Businesses and investments have risks. As an entrepreneur, you have to risk failure to be able to succeed. If you haven't been involved in a law suit in your business, consider yourself very lucky. But if you have been sued, consider yourself even more fortunate, in that you possess the most important tool you need to survive: a vision. Yes, I said: "more fortunate enough to have be sued." Those who have been sued, have two choices, they can bend under the pressures of the law suit, OR, they can focus their attention to a new financial tool kit and to building a new vision.
When you were a kid, you had the ability to create and dream. When you are an adult, you still have the ability to create and dream, but you also have information. INFORMATION + DREAM = SUCCESS.
When you have been sued, create, create, and create, a vision of your opponent disappearing. Dream, dream, dream of your life turning around, dream of abundance, act abundant, and your life will transform in front of your eyes. Funnel all of your anger, your thoughts of unfairness, and your energy into creating the vision, and a vision of your success. In a purely animal world, you have TWO ways of dealing with stress and an enemy: Fight or flight.
Michael Gerber says, "the only poverty is the poverty of imagination" Find a problem people in your circles and category have and develop a vision to create a solution for it. You can choose to fight with a new dream and a new vision.
Start making a list of what financial tools you have available to you: Tools can be people, can be friends, money, money sources, product sources, free stuff, can be what you are good at, can be stuff you have in your home, can be your talent, but MOST importantly it has to include a very specific dream of success of your business or your finances. Don't be afraid to ask your parents for help, your friends to babysit, and people who know entrepreneurship to help you succeed. Put your list, next to your "I don't need" list and create room for abundance.
Develop a ten (10) item list of WHAT financial resources you have: Parents, neighbors, friends, talent, motivation, spouse, kids, and top it with your dream and vision. Build on what you already have and don't take no for an answer.
