From Scarcity to Abundance - A Spiritual Money Blueprint | Big Sean EP 873

0:00Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

0:12how did you learn to reprogram your subconscious mind to manifest money more when you weren't taught that thing those things early on man this i have to give it up to deepak chopra because the seven spiritual laws of success such a good book that that actually was the first book that broke down money as an energy and when I first when I read it I was like what and he was just saying just like anything like you can attract it it's magnetic so you could really be a magnet for whatever it is your afterlife and that includes money isn't off the table and you know so one of the things that I had to adopt is that there's enough money for everyone to go around you don't have to look at it as like a you're in a desert and there's like a glass of water and you have to you know it's not I like that.

1:00Money is getting printed every single day. When did you learn this? How old were you? Like, what was it? When I first read that book, I was 17, I believe. So that's when I was like, okay, I tried to like, obviously I didn't have a dollar to my name. So, I mean, besides the$20 I would get for allowance every week for doing chores and stuff, but like. And when did you first put it into practice? You learned this new concept. It was something completely new. Money's all around me, right? I had to learn the concept from experience. And how did you put it into practice where you said, oh, it's actually real what this means?

1:36At first, it was like, hold on to your money. Hold on to it. Right. It's like that's like the thing you get your money. Hold on to it. And I remember when I got my first advance check for fifteen thousand dollars and I took my girlfriend to get ice cream and it went down to fourteen thousand nine hundred and seventy. It's going away. Yeah, it's like you felt it and like that the reason that it felt like that is because that's not in alignment with how it should be. You know, I really feel like that. Like it feels good when you can like provide and like, you know, because you you are you are you're like a vessel, man.

2:14And it's like whatever you choose to activate. And by the way, my life now doesn't go exactly how I always wanted to go. I don't like there are times where like things happen and I'll be like this is not how I wanted this to go this is not how I wanted it to happen but then you just got to move on man and just go to the next thing but my point is is when I started when I started to implement that was around the time like I said around 19 when I got my first advanced check and then like every time that I was like oh wait it's getting low so there's always an opportunity for something else to figure your way.

2:53And that's when you do right by yourself and when you do right by, you know, everyone around you and when you are empowering people and when you're trying to like just be who you are meant to be, the best you. It's like things I promise you is going to happen for you. So when you get money now and when money comes in and when money comes out, how does it feel for you emotionally when you receive and spend money lately i need to i've told myself like i need to be a little more grateful for the money that does come in i've kind of have gotten like okay cool used to okay this oh we got that check okay cool that came in that that deposit hit and i don't i told myself like i by the way i do affirmations every day so it's like i'm grateful is one of them.

3:42I'm thankful for my life and every aspect of it. Like, but I do want to just put, I do want the God to know because I always like to think that God gives us everything we need. Right. And, and like, and a lot of times what we want as well, especially when it aligns with what we need. And one of the things that I want is money. Right. So, and then when it comes in, I shouldn't just pretend like it's supposed to be like that. I should really acknowledge it and be grateful for it more. So I've actually, and that kind of comes with just having a busy schedule. I'm still a new dad in a sense. I'm still, you know, alive.

4:25I have a lot of hats as a person and you kind of like lose the importance of a lot of things. So I've been, I've been meaning to like really moment by moment, be grateful. You know what I mean? There's an amazing book called Happy Money by Ken Honda. I think you'll like it where he says it's about the Japanese art around money. And when I had him on the show, it really helped me fortify my abundance mindset around money. And he said, when money comes to me, I don't care if it's a penny or a million dollars or anywhere in between. I say thank you to that money. Thank you to the dollar. Thank you to the$20.

5:01Thank you to the money I found in the streets. Thank you to the million dollar check thank you yeah and i say thank you where do you want to go and it says where do you want to go now do you want to go to my bank account and sit there for a while do you want to go into the stock market do you want to go into this business deal do should i give this to someone for free like where do you want to go and he says and when we look at it as energy and as abundance and we are appreciating it it appreciates in value it does and we don't hold on to it but we say where do you want to go because i know more is coming to me oh I'm gonna use that where do you want to go it flows everything man that gave me goosebumps man because everything has a life to it even like making music it's like I sometimes like when I'm on a beat I ask myself like okay what does this song want to be where does you know what does it want to go what do you want me to say on it and sometimes I'll get it then and that that should go for everything and I I do have a very like diverse portfolio when it comes to like finances and stuff.

6:02Like I do have like stuff in the stock market, stuff in crypto, real estate. I invested in businesses that worked and didn't work. You know, I made money off some. What's the best investment you've ever made in your life? Best investment I've ever made in my life. Currently, probably the return was probably Bitcoin. I ain't gonna lie. I also invested in Uber, which has kind of been a long play. I kind of got in a little bit late with Uber, but I think one day it's going to pay off. But really, the whole point of my portfolio is to pass on to my kid, or I only have one out, or my kids, you know.

6:40What's the best investment you've made in yourself? Probably spending all my money on studio sessions growing up. That was probably the best investment yet, because it was, it trained me to, like, be in a studio, be on a mic, to write music, you know. And I've written music for like, not just myself, but I've also written some stuff for other people. Like I've written stuff for Janae. I've written stuff for, I got to write with Anderson.Paak and Bruno Mars and like some other people. Obviously for Ye as well. Like I've gotten a chance to like be a writer in that sense, not just for myself. And not like, I'm not saying I wrote like people's albums.

7:21I'm talking about just slightly contribute as a writer. investing in that just early on, you know, being 11 years old, 12 years old in the studio.
