What would you say if I asked you to name all the ways you prevent money from flowing to you?  Would you be able to answer the question or would you look at me with confusion?

Not sure what I mean?  There are countless ways we block money from flowing into our lives and often times we are completely unaware of those blocks.

Let’s start with Physical Clutter.  Now, you might be asking what physical clutter has to do with opening the floodgates to making more money; but rest assured it has a lot to do with your ability to attract and make more.

Where do you keep your bills that need to be paid?  Are they strewn all over the place, needing  to be filed?  Do you keep some in your office and others in your car?  I want you to go and collect all the bills that need to be paid and place them in a folder with “Bills to be Paid” written across the front.  Make a commitment that each time a bill arrives in the mail, you will put that bill that needs to be paid in that folder.

Now let’s examine the physical clutter that has accumulated in your wallet.  Yup, that’s right…take out your wallet and look at it.  Is it stuffed to the gills with receipts and junk?  Is your money neatly organized with bills in order or is it just thrown in there?

I want you to clean out your wallet so you can make room for more money.  How on earth will you handle more money coming to you if you can’t even keep your wallet clean and organized?  Where will you put all that money?  There’s no room in your wallet unless you clean it out!  Do it today, ok?

The second area worth exploring is Schedule Clutter.  Schedule Clutter is things like interruptions in your daily activities, other priorities that seep into your day and feelings of overwhelm when working.

These too are all energy drains and block the natural flow of abundance and money.  Develop a schedule and stick to it.  Answer emails only once or twice a day.  Turn off that little bell that dings on your computer when you get new emails, or better yet, close out your email while you work.  Don’t say yes to appointments or other distractions that interfere with you accomplishing what you want and need to do each day.  This will help you to accomplish even more in your day and will reduce those feelings of overwhelm.

The next area is Emotional Clutter, which includes difficult relationships, draining relationships and people that have poor boundaries.  You probably read that last line and said, “Oh boy, I know exactly what she means.”

We have all been there, surrounded by people who suck the life out of us, intrude into our lives, and are just plain awful people to deal with.  Don’t put up with it any longer.  These relationships are so detrimental to your ability to increase the flow of abundance and prosperity into your life that it’s scary!  When you stop trying to manage the situations that drain your energy, you find that you have more energy to devote to the really important areas of your life.

The final area I want to discuss today is Money Clutter.  This includes accounts that are not current, being unclear about how much money you bring into your business, and your personal and business debt.  Can you feel how just reading this creates a heaviness and energy drain in your body?  Is this you?  Can you see why this needs to be addressed immediately?

Let’s tackle your accounts that aren’t current.  Paying your bills on time every month will take care of the money clutter that blocks more money from coming to you.  When you ignore your bills because you’re afraid to open your checking account, or you’re not sure if you have the money to pay your bills, you create a lot of drama, stress and chaos.

Starting today, I want you to write down when you will pay your bills each month.  Go to the calendar and pencil in the date and do so for the remainder of the year.  Depending on how your money comes in you may need to pay bills weekly.  That’s ok.  The important thing is that you pay the bills at the same time each week or month and you do so consistently.

By clearing up these clutter areas in your life, you will remove the energy block that is preventing you from attracting money into your life. Don’t know where to start?  Pick one area and take it one step at a time.  I would love to hear how you are going to clear out the clutter to make room for more money in your life!

There are so many ways that we as business owners prevent money from flowing to us. Look around. What do you see? Which areas of your environment are likely holding you back from making more money?

Not sure what I mean? Well let’s start with Physical Clutter. Now you might be asking what physical clutter has to do with opening the floodgates to making more money; but rest assured it has a lot to do with your ability to attract and make more.

Is your office or home a mess? Do you have papers strewn all over the place that need to be filed? Does your office have files that should be removed and put in storage? I want you to look around and see if you have clutter in any of the following places:

• Desk Clutter
• Email Clutter
• Bookshelf Clutter
• Newsletter Clutter

Take the time to clear out this clutter. This clutter is an energy drain which takes your attention away from and blocks your ability to make more money.

Make the commitment necessary to clean out the clutter from your life.
