You're ready to run as fast as you can. There is only one problem. You're stuck in a swamp and can only move your legs with great effort. How can you run fast? Get out of the swamp.
In regards to manifesting abundance, think of the swamp as being the beliefs and ideas surrounding you about prosperity and making money. There is a 99% chance that you also surround yourself with people that hold onto the same limiting beliefs as you do.
Your Family and Friends Feed Your Beliefs
You may be sweltering in a swamp of limiting beliefs held by those around you. Yes, you're working hard to change your beliefs, but those around you keep pulling you back.
You might have the idea to try something new, something your friends and family know little or nothing about. They may have heard some negative things about your proposed venture. When, in your excitement, you mention it, they take careful aim and then blow your idea and excitement into so many pieces you can't find it.
When you want to move beyond the mindset of family and friends they will almost always do what they can to sabotage you. And they do it from the kindness of their heart. They don't want you to lose your money, your time... they don't want to lose you.
How do you think they'll feel if you are making more money than they are, that you are more successful than they are? They'll feel left behind.
Can You Drastically Change Your Abundance and Keep Your Family and Friends
Some people can and some can't.
If you absolutely have to share with them your ideas... and they continually shoot them down... your choice is to quit sharing or stay where you are. I have a dear friend that finds it necessary to be "realistic" about my business ideas. I've chosen not to share those with her. I can share those ideas with some members of my family because they know about being an entrepreneur. They know the fun and excitement of taking a few risks and holding onto the cliff with your bare hands.
Surround Yourself with Like-Minded People
Join networking groups who have the same ideals you want to have. Form a mastermind group of people who are dedicated to the goals and mindset you have or are moving towards. Share your ideas only with those who look to support your goals.
There is the saying, "Don't throw your pearls before swine." Your ideas, your hopes and your dreams are your pearls. Learn who will hold them reverently.
