This week’s question from our portal “Ask Us Anything” comes
We’re flying out to see you tomorrow, and we’ll be in the exit row of coach. I felt called out when you said the exit row is basically “the first class of coach.” I was like, “Sh*t, we need to upgrade to first class.”
I’m struggling with this idea of flying first class—especially with the ebbs and flows of our business, budgets, cashflow, the economy, etc. I’m trying to use the universal laws, but I feel like they’re butting heads with “reality.” When it comes to investing in my business, I’m fully in. What do I need to shift here?
First off, I would say—stop. Just stop with the story. Stop telling yourself you’re struggling.
Let’s look at the facts. When you DON’T fly first class, you’re basically admitting you expect to lose. That’s what your expectation is.
You’re using past information to make your decision—“My business went up,” “My business went down.” Every business goes up, and every business goes down. That’s the nature of business.
When you make decisions based on fluctuations—and not based on what you want—you’re saying, “I expect to lose.”
If you want to know what your expectations are, look at your decisions.
That’s one of the biggest lessons my mentor, Bob Proctor, taught me when I first began working with him. I had one job—to fly first class every time I traveled, to rent a car, and to attend every one of his events and pay my own way. Otherwise he wouldn’t coach me.
In the beginning, I didn’t understand why he was having me do all of these things. “Don’t I need money first, to be able to pay for all of this?” He was like, “No, you don’t. In fact…”
You’ll never have the money to do this if you don’t change what you expect to happen in the future.
You change your expectation by raising your standard where you are. You don’t wait for the money to show up first, and then you raise your standard. That’s backwards.
As for the economy, cashflow, and budgets—it’s all history. It’s all in the past.
Drop your past. Make decisions based on where you want to go. Then you change your vibratory expectation in the universe.
Nobody knows what the economy is going to do tomorrow. Everybody’s guessing. There will always be volatility in the markets. It’s never perfect.
Fear and doubt don’t have to stop you. Regardless of any problem we’ve experienced in the market, there are always people who sail through to the top. They do it because they have faith in what they’re doing—not because they’re getting lucky.
You don’t fully believe that you’re going to win. You somewhat do, but not fully—because you’re still flying in the first class of coach. You’re not all in.
Every time you choose NOT to fly first class, you reinforce your negative victim belief. You’re trying to protect yourself from something bad happening again. You’re using the language like, “I’m trying to use the laws.”
You don’t “try” to use the laws. You either use them, or you don’t. And God is good all the time.
Tell yourself, “I expect to win. This is my standard. Even if I don’t have the money right this second, I’m going to find the money, because I’m not flying coach.”
Just make the decision now. It’s going to happen.

P.S. Your “money story” directly impacts the amount of money you’re making, whether you realize it or not. Your money story includes your thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes about wealth, rich people, and yourself. If you want to make significantly more income, you MUST learn how to create a money story that empowers and supports you in doing so.
