I mastered being broke!

Hey, it's Ramon

Years ago I was walking down the street and there was a nickel on the ground.

And I looked at it… and scoffed.

"That thing's not going to get me anything."

And I did that for months.

Somebody must have been hauling a bag of change back from the bank with a hole in it, because I was seeing them everywhere. Coins on the sidewalk, coins in the parking lot, coins by the mailbox.

And every single time — that little scoff.

Now here's the part that took me years to see.

Every morning I was standing in front of the mirror saying "I am abundant." Doing the work. Neville every day. Abraham in the car. Dr. Joe before the sun came up.

Nobody could have told me I wasn't doing the work.

And then every afternoon my body was out on that sidewalk saying the exact opposite. Chest tight. Jaw set. That little bracing you do when something's beneath you.

The universe was handing me the exact thing I said I wanted — in the smallest possible dose so I could practice.

And I was flipping it the bird.

So you say, "okay Ramon, cute story, but what am I supposed to do about it?"

Here's the thing I wish somebody had told me back then.

Affirmations aren't wrong. They're just step three.

There are two steps that come before them, and nobody teaches them, and without those two the sentence never lands. Your body checks, comes back no, and you just practiced getting told no one more time.

I made a video about all three. The whole practice takes about sixty seconds, and you'll feel the difference before you're done watching.

Let me know what you notice. I read every reply.

Talk soon,
