 Hi, I'm George Cowell, and that's Buddy the Pup. He's such a good boy So today in this short video, I want to address the topic of money and particularly our intentions behind making money because I think it's important for us to have clear and aligned intentions aligned with What your true self wants? And what is real? What is realistic? Because one of the things I see out there from people who are selling you programs on how to make money is one of the Intentions is make more money so you can help more people. Have you heard that? Well, I've certainly bought programs like that and maybe you have as well and actually I have also sold programs like that and I will tell you that that is That's a nice sounding intention But it's a false intention and the reason is because you can help people now You don't have to make more money before you help more people and I'll give you my own example I used to be earning three and a half times What I am today in terms of money Right now I'm I'm still doing fine We live in san francisco and I'm gratefully still able to earn a good living to support us but I used to make a lot more money and The irony is that today I feel like I'm helping more people more deeply than I used to be Um, I might even say I'm helping I'm helping people three and a half times more Then I used to be even though I used to make three and a half times more money And the reason is because I used to make money by selling information and people loved to buy my information And as many of us do when we buy information myself included We oftentimes feel like we got something done just by buying it, right? And so we put it on shelf saying oh, I'm going to get to it or I'm going to study it one day and you know Oftentimes we don't Um, now I give my information all my knowledge away freely Uh, it's a radical move. I'm not saying everyone should do that. It's just my own path right now my own experiment And people are telling me like never before that they are being helped by it More people I have more of a loyal audience than I ever did before so It's it's you don't have to make more money to help more people The irony is that you can actually flip that around and say that you could actually if you truly helped more people From your expertise from the thing that you want to build a business on if you help more people more deeply Chances are you can make more money. So it's actually flipped around. It's not make more money to help more people It's help more people if you want to make more money Um, but even so let's have a clear intention about why we're making money Um, it don't do it to help more people because you can help people now using the internet Okay, and using being smart about how you help people. Okay Make money so that you can have enough And you got to find what enough is for you and I've talked about that in my other healthy money videos Also make money because you feel it is a right exchange of your services Make make it make it so that you feel like you're earning Honest pay for an honest day's work I didn't used to took me a while to realize that now I very much feel that so Make money because it's a right exchange make money so you can have enough So that you can be set free in the rest of your time To help more people. Okay, um, I Can I mean all year long? I've been turning away clients and I technically could take on more clients with my time I only have 12 hours of client client appointments each week So I could technically take on more clients, but I'm clear about what's enough for me And I specifically limit myself to those 12 hours of client appointments So that I guess what I can help more people with my content and with You know with strategic ways of helping helping people So I hope this is helpful and clarifying for you until the next video. Be well
