By Catherine FranzJannice K., a past Virginia resident, now Californiaresident, worked in Burger King for ten years. Back when Iwas a junk food addict, she passed me the bag and drinkthrough the drive through window. Occasionally, I would goinside to eat. We became friends and soon had regular timestogether early afternoons during her break. It wasn't longbefore I discovered Jannice’s real buried passion wasgrooming dogs. She sparkled whenever the topic came up.Later Jannice and I worked together to write articles andother materials on her passion. Now, Jannice lives inCalifornia, owns three grooming parlors, and is quite, quitewell off. During a recent phone conversation she shared howno matter how far she’s come in just the few years, she saysshe’s never gotten used to living with a fluctuating cashflow.This is an experience shared by many self-employedindividuals.After living on predictable cash flow, having a variablecash flow can be nerve racking. Even over time, as you growmaturely philosophical about money, knowing that it can behere today and gone tomorrow requires being on your toes.And, in order to transition from toes to flat foot you mustlearn to integrate a prosperity consciousness in order tosurvive emotionally. A prosperity transfer means shiftingfrom the perception of scarcity, to being in abundance.The secret to handling this elevator ride is to get to thepoint of contentment with who you are and what you aredoing, and not have an emotional response to money. Thisplatform, of course, takes discipline and experience. Overtime, as you learn and become comfortable with a new way ofthinking, you also learn to stay focused, know what "really"matters, stop wasting time, and relax into a set ofprocesses and systems that become the rhythm for yourbusiness. This calm approach always accelerates prosperityand, in turn, allows the cash flow elevator to slow down andstop on various floors.During the fast elevator days, tips always help to remind usto punch the button in order to stop at the next floor.Here are a few tips to help you push the right buttons:1. Where you focus is what you will attract. If you focuson your surplus, the surplus will grow. If you focus onlack, the lack will grow. Hence, it’s common sense to focuson surplus, wouldn't you say. Learn to see abundance in allthat you do, say, and feel. This doesn't mean giving awayyour services if you are business owner. It means in beingin balance with it. Be abundant with your gestures, openthe door for a person, it doesn't matter on gender.When someone takes you to lunch, see that as surplus, themoney didn't come out of your pocket. It’s abundance fromtheir life to yours. Yes, the good ole, attitude ofgratitude, philosophy is what I'm talking about. Itactually is a secret weapon of the wealthy. Again, ofcourse, in balance. This same attitude is available toeveryone, including you and I. If it takes fewer muscles tosmile, then of course, it takes less energy to be nice.2. Know what you're worth and be consistent about it. Ifyou take a long lunchtime or spend time browsing the bookaisles or Net, associate your hourly rate to this. When youassociate time to money consistently in your thinkingprocess, cash flow will follow. With a focus on what"really" matters and you follow that up with massive action,it all begins to sink in. This internal awareness will, ofcourse, again, be attractive.3. Some is better than none. Partial payments are betterthan no payments if you can't meet your obligations. Eventhe telephone and utility companies can cope with partialpayments. Send what you can with an explanatory note.We both know that bill collectors aren't the mostcompassionate souls. If you deal with them, try not to bedefensive nor try to ignore them. Silence isn't golden inthis instance. However, you can't let them intimate you ormake you feel guilty either -- and they surely will try too.Bring no emotional attachment to their call, conversation,or even after you hang up. This will affect your energy andzap your progress.Just imagine having one of these a day, and if you do, it’sa-no-wonder why you're feeling drained, unattractive, andnot making any money. This spiral emotional ride puts youon the fast elevator ride to the basement.4. Maintain a list of emergency money generators. Theseare items that you can use that require little or noplanning, either because you have it done or it just doesn'tneed it, that deliver short-term cash. This is an insurancecash flow list for your business. Everyone needs thiswhether running a business or not, even if it meansunloading boxes at your brother-in-laws warehouse.If you list a temporary agency, who are they, have you goneover there already and established a relationship. Set upthe groundwork so that it’s easy to jump into when "you"need it. Being mindful of all your options, and notmindless, adds to your confidence and ability to manage yourcash flow during shortage.5. Separate emotions from money and separate thoughts ofdebt that is an investment and debt that is due toirresponsibility. If you are going to operate a business,be accountable, especially if you have employees. Peoplesay to me that one of their number goals is to be debt free.If you have a habit of creating irresponsible debt then evenwhen you become debt free it will not last because themindset and habits didn't change.Change your attitude and remove the emotions. Separateinvestment debt from the other. Why wait to be happy, liveyour life with a debt free mentality now. Most childrengrow up without understanding money and base their knowledgeon emotional expressions they hear from others. Then asadults they are thrust into the world and told, "You'resuppose to know better."Take a class on money management, stop reading the books ifthey aren't helping. If you already taken a class, hire amoney coach. Keep debt manageable and be an responsibleadult and business owner. There aren't any excuses for poormoney management.6. Don't spend yourself poor with feast or famine. Don'tbe tempted to pay off all your old bills and leave yourselfimpoverished all over again. Your mental health will bestronger if you set aside some money and watch itaccumulate. Just knowing you have even the smallest offunds stashed away will lighten your walk and smooth yoursleep.7. Get smart about your money. I mean, SMART. GetSpecific, Measure it, be Accountable, make them achievable,Realistic and the Time is now. Our beliefs today have noresemblance to the beliefs of money our parents have, norwill the next generation have with yours. Challenge all theearly assumptions you have about money. Challenge themevery day until. Do it until you learn to manage it. Do ituntil it works for you.Get off the elevator cash flow ride, have less paper, scotchtape, and paper clips around, and put some money away forthat rainy day. I don't think either of our grandmotherswhere wrong on that philosophy.(c) Copyright 2005, Catherine Franz. All rights reserved.
