Wow. Today has been incredible. First of all, I got tons done. Second, I had tons of deals being presented to me. Third, I didn't succumb to fear around how I'm going to fund them lots of powerful things happened:
1. A lender agreed to look at funding an unconventional deal
2. A colleague called to talk shop and he told me he'd hook me up with his local bankers
3. I heard about a new lender to check out
4. I spoke at length with a new, highly liquid cash partner
Plus, I had a cool oil experience in the post office.
I went to the post office and was wearing my Abundance oil and the postal guy says "Who's wearing the Patchouli?! It reminds me of the 60s!" I had to giggle because I knew this was a direct result of last night's training and letting go of resistance.
So I told him it was me and that it was actually a oil blend called Abundance. I said, "I wish I had some on me cause I'd let you try some." And he said "Where can I get it?" I said direct sell and I'm a rep. All I need is your billing info and I can create an account and have them overnight it. He was busy with customers and balked a slight bit (I think I jumped to fast) so I gave him my card and wrote some info on the back. I'm going to go back and take some oils and put them on them.
Wouldn't it be nice to have the whole post office smelling so awesome! Hehehehe!

Oh my God! It's Wednesday!
Here's a cute little abundance trick I enjoy using.
Supposed today was your friends birthday and you had forgotten until you see them. What's a possible thing you would say: "Oh my God! It's your Birthday!"
Or supposed you woke up last Sunday and forgot to set your clock back an hour. What's a possible thing you would say: "Oh my God! I get an extra hour!"
Consider that this attitude of joyous surprise -- sheer delight actually -- could be just as applicable to the ordinary as it is to the extra-ordinary. How would that change your daily view point? Hm?
Oh my God! It's Wednesday!!

Never-Ending, Ever-Increasing Abundance
This morning I awoke with an amazing insight:
"There is a Never-Ending, Ever-Increasing flow of Abundance, on every level, coming into my experience every day!!"
This was the first thought as I awoke and I KNEW, without a shadow of a doubt, that I believe it as 100% true. It has taken me months, if not years, to reach this point. It's awe-inspiring and powerful to feel. And I attribute much of this growth and shift to both Young Living's Abundance Oil and my ongoing study of the Law of Attraction and the Art of Allowing.
Think about it!! A never-ending, ever-increasing, always-flowing, never denying, flow of Abundance. Do you realize what believing this means? It means that whatever I want, I no longer need to control. Whatever I wish for, I no longer need to make happen. Whatever is in front of me can simply be flowed through and not struggled through. That the secret is trusting and flowing. Trusting and surrendering. ALLOWING things to come into being, rather than forcing, coercing or making them happen.
What a relief!

Moving through the stuck points!
It's really amazing how things can really get flowing once you move through the stuck points!
This morning I fired my rehab contractor. Mmmm. Felt good. I never actually reached him, but I terminated the contract in writing and wrote what I expect should happen to clean up the loose ends. I'm resolving this on Thursday so the repairs can be finalized and I ca get the house profitable.
That...felt....good. (And scarey.) But it was necesary.
And tonight, I had a HUGE block at the Young Living training hosted by my friend. I'm grateful for the knowledge of when I am resisting or shutting down. But this was painful. I was accutely aware of myself shutting off. However, I was also willing to ride it out. And from that I became further more convinced on how I want things to manifest in my life -- with ease and little action or effort.
In driving home I was grateful for knowing that I want to manifest in such a manner. Sure, I get blocked and stuck. But once I move through those points, there is SUCH a lovely release of energy. My boat gets moving downstream again, going with the flow.
I pulled into my parking garage and simply said "Alright Universe! You build my Young Living business. You provide consisten funding for my real estate investment deals. You deliver the love of my life. I'll sit back and do the best thing I can do: trust, believe, expect and appreciate."
Thank God for the stuck points that sharply contract our more flowing moments. In them I learn. And when I don't judge and simply go with them, they transform to more abundance!

Abundance = Open to new ideas = Going with the flow = Power
I'm tired, so I'll make this short.
Today I had two amazing things happen. First, in the morning, a friend suggested a strategy for the house I'm rehabbing that I hadn't even considered. It was out of the blue and a very strong strategy which will enable me to profit more rapidly AND over time.
The cool thing is that I could sense it was important extra information and didn't dimiss it.
Second, in the evening, that same friend pressed a point about how I'm handling the delay in the rehab I'm doing. She pointed out that I've been patient enough and now I need to put my foot down. I got angry about the situation -- which was good and appropriate -- especially after the disappointment of loosing two deals in a row. :(
The cool thing about this, even though it was a difficult conversation that I had massive resistance around (hello, that alone was indicator enough) was that once I admitted I needed to take action, my disappointment cleared, and I felt my power come back. I also realized that it was the logical next step in learning this piece of my business. I've tried micro-managing. Didn't work. I tried the hands-off approach (admittedly partially out of fear) and that didn't work. And now, I get a clear picture of how to manange this:
Empower my team to do their best to make their part happen, while I hold the vision and offer course corrections and clarifications. That way I guide the ship, without actually doing the rowing!
Oh and I got $750 today!

Deals, deals and more deals!
So while we're handling the mix-up on the wire transfer and calming the seller and, and, and -- 3 more sweet deals land in my lap!
One I already have a contract on. It was verbally accepted last Friday. I signed the final contract today. It has a 50K profit after rehab. Another is a sweet flip in Lee's Summit, MO -- just outside of KC. Crazy price versus value, with $130K in profit. Even more if we finish out the basement! And then another deal that fell through with another investor and is readily available. That has 50K profit in it.
That's $230K in profit. Split two-ways (because I'm partnering with people) and I make 115K. That doesn't count the one I'm closing on tomorrow and the one I"m currently rehabbing and selling. And you know what's the most incredible thing about this? It can easily happen in the next 2-3 months. Yup. By New Years in fact. I've never made that much money in a year's time, much less 2-3 months. Now that's totally letting the Universe out dream me!
Thank you Universe!

Finally closing! (more lessons in letting go)
Wow. Amazing day. Started sort of the same way the day before ended -- not knowing what was up with my closing on this 4 bedroom flip in KC. Then I had a semi-good meditation. Man, was I distracted. This turned into a good cry and a deeper letting go of the whole situation. I had tried everything and couldn't see anything else to do. I'd even put this closing on the Universe's side of my Placemat Process for yesterday.
Funny thing is, after my cry, a thought/inspiration came to me. I thought of calling my business partner for this deal at his work number. His J.O.B, which I had never called him at. And sure enough, I got it. First time in 3 days! And write before he was leaving his desk.
Turns out the wire never went through. Typo. Hah! Don't you just love Mercury retrograde? LOL
Well, we settled that issue and we're closing tomorrow -- regardless! When this deal flips in December, I stand to make 35-50K!
But it gets better...
