GET THE EDGE – DAY 6– YOUR WAY TO FINANCIAL FREEDOM – THE POWER OF COMPOUNDING

 Decide, deduct and dare to dream!

Step 1:

Decide how you’re going to allocate your assets. Determine the percentage of your income that you will invest, and determine how you will split it between security and growth.

I’m going to invest 5% of my income.

I’m going to split my investments in this ratio (for example, 50/50 or 60/40): Security bucket: 100%
Growth bucket: 0%

Step 2:

Make it a must for you. Write a paragraph or two about why you must be wealthy and what it will do for you, your family and your future. What will it give you? Who will you be? What will you do with your wealth?

If I have wealth, then I will only do the things that artistically satisfy me, that I feel serve me and the world.  I will have more resources to help people. My wealth will let Lizzie retire whenever she wants, and Dot will be free to do what she wants. It will allow us to have experiences beyond compare. I will be a changer of lives. I

Step 3:

Start making your plan. Write down the steps you must take to begin or improve your investing strategy.

• Decide on my levels of wealth (25x annual income)
• $1.6M
• $2.4M
• $3.6M
• Find extra sources of income:
• Acting
• Hosting
• Composing
• Online business
• Teaching
• Comedy
• Trading
• Make steps towards these incomes.

Step 4:

Never leave the scene of a decision without taking some action. Choose two of the items you listed in Step 3 and do them today. Make a note of what you did:

Sent potential scripts to Zoe.

Wrote a backing track on GBand

GET THE EDGE – DAY 5– THE POWER OF EMOTIONS – YOUR CALL TO ACTION

 Let’s start using the 6 Steps and the 10 Action Signals we’ve learned in this session.

Step 1: For the next two days, notice any negative or disempowering feelings that come up and go through the 6 Steps. Record your progress below.

Negative emotion: How I handled it

I was frustrated by the lack of progress in a number of things at work.  Using the steps I:

1. Identified the emotion of frustration.
2. Clarified that the emotion is trying to tell me that there are certain things over which I have no control.  I need to change from "they don't care" to "They are overwhelmed".
3. I really want to feel that this gives me the opportunity to do some independent work readying me for when they are ready to help.
4. Remembered the times that I HAVEN'T been attached to one particular thing, and how that has made me MORE productive.
5. I can handle this emotion by letting go, and moving on.
6. I took action by owning the feeling, and moving on.

Negative emotion: How I handled it:

    

Negative emotion: How I handled it:

 

Step 2: Make a list of all the things you can do to make yourself feel good.

• Exercise
• Meditate
• Make contact with someone that I love
• Cook
• Listen to Music
• Eat something that I enjoy
• Read
• Have a bath!
• Give thanks
• Chat with an animal.
• Take a heart based breath

Step 3: For each of the 10 Action Signals you learned in this session, develop a new belief that will help you avoid getting stuck in these emotions.

Disempowering Emotion Examples: Overwhelm Disappointment	My New Belief “This too shall pass” or “The best is yet to come.” There’s always a way if I’m committed.
1. Uncomfortable	This means that I'm growing!
2. Fear	Big progress is on the other side.
3. Hurt	They are doing the best they can with what they have
4. Anger	This has broken my rules
5. Frustration	There's a time for everything
6. Disappointment	I haven't yet seen the purpose in this result. Everything happens for me!
7. Guilt and regret	Forgive yourself, and move foreward
8. Inadequacy	I am enough. I'll never be given more than I can handle
9. Overloaded, overwhelm, hopelessness, depression	Just one thing at a time - it's a cinch by the inch!
10. Loneliness	I am never truly alone.

GET THE EDGE – DAY 4 – PURE ENERGY LIVE! THE KEY TO A STRONG, HEALTHY & VITAL LIFE

I must admit, this particular day really resonated with me the first time I heard it.  I have aimed to keep alkaline in my diet, always eating at least twice the amount of protein in vegetables.  The effect of emotions was a good reminder though

 Step 2: Interrupt destructive patterns that don’t serve you.

Write down at least three destructive patterns in which you’ve been engaging. Come up with one

or two ways to interrupt each pattern the next time it arises.

Destructive Pattern Example: I often get angry.	Pattern Interrupts When I begin to feel angry, I will take five deep breaths and list at least three things I’m grateful for in my life.
I get worried about money	When I get worried, I will remind myself of three sources of money to which I have access.
	Breathe! One breath at a time.
I get frustrated with the people who manage me.	I ask myself "how can I grow through this.
	I say "this is not happening to me, it's happening for me
	Breathe! One breath at a time.
I get impatient with my progress	I remind myself that everything has so far happened at the right time.
	Breathe! One breath at a time.

Step 3: Provide your body with its vital needs.

Write a paragraph or two describing why you are now committed to providing your body with the things it needs. What will it give you? What has not doing this up until now caused you to miss out on or lose in your life?

I am committed to provide my body with what it needs, because I know that when I do I am much happier, healthier and more energetic.  Sometimes I have strayed off track, especially putting things off for tomorrow, which never comes. NOW is the time to act and get the result.

It has always been the instantaneous actions that have provided me with the best results.

GET THE EDGE – DAY 2 – THE POWER OF RELATIONSHIPS (PART 1: PASSION, CONNECTION & LOVE)

You can’t give to other people what you haven’t learned to give yourself. Write at least 10 things you can do to show how much you love yourself.

1. Do my 15 minutes to thrive, including thanking myself for my talents.
2. Look myself in the eye 2 minutes of compliments.
3. Be generous towards myself.
4. Genuinely accept compliments.
5. Back myself when 'selling'
6. Write DAILY in my journal.

Your Assignment

Begin closing the gap by describing where you are and where you want to be.

1.Where are you in your intimate relationship? Which scenario best describes the current state of your intimate relationship? Wherever you are, be honest. Honesty will bring you clarity.

2)  Love is there, but not enough passion.

2. Whether you’re in a relationship or not, describe what your ideal relationship would be like. What would you do together? How would you have fun? What would it be like to be physically, emotionally and spiritually intimate the way you truly want to be? What do you (or would you) have in common? Would you have children? If so, how would you raise them? Even if you’re already in a great relationship, what more do you want?

We would travel, eat, make love. It would be entoxicating to be intimate. We would come together to thrive, allowing each other to have fun and thrive alone and together.  Each year would have more fucks than Sundays.
