I think I might take the course again. been thinking about things a lot. Here is my journal
See the following notes from reality transurfing:
Page 79 and 80 have some really good things on money; must reread:
-fear of money, budgeting, fear of income decreasing or that there won’t be enough will manifest itself
-instead, focus on things OUTSIDE of money, we think that money is everything and pendulums convince us that money is the source of joy
-this means for me being present, finding joy in nature and relationships, which is the true source of joy, and no matter what happens with money I will have this.
-also be grateful for the money I do have, appreciate the value it does give me. Appreciate when money does come but do not worry about it.
-pendelums convince you you need money to achieve your goals, and you loose sight of your purpsoe.
you cannot make a lot of money in a pendelum that is not aligned with your purpose
Focus on the actual goal, e.g. to travel and spend time in nature with a community, and money will come as an accompanying attribute.
You cannot place the chances of achieving your goal on the condition of getting money first. Visualize the original goal.
Do not be frugal and afraid, but this doesnt mean be careless. Use enough money to achieve my goals, but still treat it with respect
It says that you cannot make money a part of your vision, and that money will come on the way, but not to pursue something which is not your vision. So I am journaling to help discover if e-commerce in in alignment with my vision. I don’t think having doubt necessarily means that it isn’t. I think dropshipping a bunch of shit products would be cool if it made lots of money and was a means to an end, but putting a lot of time into that might not be good for me. I do really like the idea of owning a store aligned with what I believe in, and just needing to focus on the content creation. Even with farming, any path to it is going to be full of things I don’t particularly enjoy.
I really love being able to travel, having financial, time and location freedom. But this cannot be a goal with a means of money. It cannot be dependent on money, according to the book. So I think the right thing to do is to really focus on appreciating that, gratitude, I have it now, enjoy it. I really should focus on my fear around money.
Back to the question, should I do dropshipping? Is it in alignment? I am asking this question to my subconscious mind and it will come back to me with a clear answer
The idea of being a holistic health coach popped into my mind last night. And I’ve been thinking a lot about the idea of making really high-quality free courses. I put a decent amount of work into them. I could pump them out on a regular basis, and continue to reference them . This is something I would feel authentic and genuine about doing. I think if I was doing really high-quality work like this, I could really succeed, I could make short daily videos constantly advertising them. this is a top passion of mine at least equal to farming. There is definitely a market.
it definitely makes sense to heed the wisdom of focusing on one thing at once. I can see how fracturing my attention long-term would lead to not mastering anything. Imagine a scenario where I consistently try to do drop shipping, over the course of years if it only takes half my attention I will get way less than 50% of the results of if I really mastered it, I don’t know if I want to master drop shipping is the thing. also for holistic health, it will not exactly be easy to make a living and getting clients at first until I have enough customers and can charge a decent rate, and eventually make passive income through online courses. Also, same with the 50% thing, with less effort, I will definitely get way less than a proportional amount of results. In other words, the more mastery and knowledge I have, the more exponential the results will be.
now for reasons and ways to do both. Until I am sure about something, it makes sense to keep investigate in multiple areas. It definitely doesn’t make sense to go all in long-term on multiple areas and try to maximally master multiple do maintenance, but in the short term, it can make sense. how can I continue to do drop shipping effectively but without full effort? For one this would definitely involve not focusing on hopping on trends and testing a bunch of products. For example, I would set up a store and then that would be done with, instead of constantly going through that process, on the one hand, the holistic health thing could be a good advertisement, but I do really think it would destroy my authenticity and trust just over trying to sell a cheap Chinese shower filter. I don’t really see it being viable to sell actual premium products that I fully believe in via drop shipping. It could totally destroy my holistic health brand just trying to make a quick buck. however, I could do it separately and just keep making content in that domain as of now it makes sense to keep trying and investigate in, but I’m not sure if I see a place for this long-term, best to choose one thing.
I think my heart is telling me that drop shipping is not in alignment with my purpose. I suppose I was thinking I need a temporary source of income until I can do farming, and maybe this will be it. I could keep doing it, but I do feel that my heart is not in it, totally could make money doing it, but it would require a lot of difficult, hard work, and without a sense of purpose I don’t think that would be in alignment and I would be motivated to do that. In contrast, if I was really helping people understand and learning about holistic health, and making it into a business I think I would be a lot more motivated to work very hard to do it.
I suppose I should start off with getting more clarity about what I want to do ultimately. What I want to do is be an educator about holistic health and then farming too then maybe it makes more sense to go directly for that. if I really just want to have a farm and I need a means to an end, then it makes sense to do what is practical and if being a holistic health educator and coach isn’t it for me, then it doesn’t make sense to use that as a more pleasant means to an end.
so, for now, I will keep exploring all the domains, and allow my subconscious mind and soul to come to the conclusion about what I most want. I should take the life purpose course again.
look into holistic health certification, like paul chek
The idea of making a bunch of high-quality free courses is really appealing. I could get a high-quality video editing software and get back into that, it would really put the course together to have good intro, music and visuals and cuts.
I could work as a video editor while i build my business…
Affiliate marketing would allow me to actually recommend the best products that I really believe in
