Moving Towards the Abundance Mindset
Both figuratively and literally
The last box is finally taped shut. The echo of shuffling feet has faded. The Minnesota townhome my dog and I lived in for the last two years now stands empty.
This week marked a significant shift – the culmination of a chaotic but ultimately liberating move.
Picture this: 4 AM starts, fueled by gas station coffee, as my crew and I wrestled furniture down flights of stairs. Half was destined for the silent embrace of storage. The other half took the nostalgic journey back to my parents' place.
This wasn't just about changing addresses; it was about charting a new course. My compass is set to explore the US for a few months. To recalibrate my income streams and search for my next home base for July.
The silver lining to this flurry of activity is that renting out the townhome from March through June generates roughly $6000 in disposable income. So a few intense days of physical labor from dawn to dusk effectively fast-tracked me by a couple paychecks.
Finding Freedom in the Grind
The act of moving felt like a Sisyphean task. Each box was a reminder of accumulated possessions and each trip a drain on my energy.
Let’s call the temporary return to my parent’s nest is a strategic waypoint, not the final destination. There were moments amidst the packing tape and furniture Tetris, where it felt like a burden, something "I had to do."
That feeling of compulsion is a breeding ground for a scarcity mindset – the belief that you lack control and options. This constricted perspective can cloud judgment, making wise decisions and generosity feel like luxuries.
But stepping back, taking a wider view, reveals the abundance. That $6,000 heading to the bank isn't just money; it's freedom. It justified the decision to invest in some helping hands, secure proper insurance, and prioritize safety over speed.
This wasn't a forced march; it was a choice to endure a short-term discomfort for a significant long-term gain. This shift in perspective, from feeling compelled to actively choosing, is where true empowerment lies.
This ability to make confident, forward-thinking financial choices wasn't something I stumbled upon. It's a skill I've honed with the support of my friends at Wealth Battle.
They equipped the framework to build a solid budget - GPS for my finances. This helped me understand the principles of sound financial management.
In the group we often dive into the Cash Flow game by Robert Kiyosaki. It's a valuable sandbox for testing financial strategies and developing an entrepreneurial mindset in a low-stakes environment. It's where the seeds of those cash-flowing deals started to take root for me.
