Get Unstuck About Money and Success

By Bill Harris

I often hear people say they aren't attracting the things they've been focusing on - even though they've worked hard to change their internal beliefs and attitudes, mostly through meditation. 

They're dreaming, journaling, visualizing, praying, meditating, wishing, and talking (and talking and talking) about what they want. And yet they see no tangible results. The Law of Attraction seems to be failing them.

If that describes you, I'd ask you to shift your perspective. Look at the decisions you're making, and the things you do every day that don't support your goals.

Here's the hard truth: procrastination is the great killer of dreams.

Everything you do that detracts from your dream is a decision - something you chose to do instead.

Now consider another possibility: you may be a little split off from the part of you that needs to take action. 

One part of you waits, holding the idea that your internal changes will somehow cause you to do something different. Meanwhile, another part watches and hopes the first part will finally change its ways.

In a way, this is a kind of magical thinking. Instead of deciding to act with a certain outcome in mind, you're waiting for yourself to somehow act with purpose - without ever making the decision to do so. It's as if you're saying to some other part of yourself: "Motivate me. Make me do something. Make me act."

But the outcome you want - more money, feeling better about yourself, a more fulfilling life - is going to be the result of actions you take and decisions you make. There's no one else to do it.

In each moment, you make decisions about what to think, what to focus on, and how to act. For most people, these decisions happen unconsciously, without clear intention. When you watch this run on autopilot, it really does seem like some other part of you is acting while the "real you" watches - and feels bad. 

This is very common. I used to do it too.

When I speak to groups, I ask what isn't working for them. The most common answer is a version of this: they know what to do, but somehow can't get themselves to do it. Or they don't really believe doing it will work anyway, so why bother?

So what can you do?

The most fundamental thing is to learn to be in charge of your mind - what I call your Internal Map of Reality. I'm asking you to go inside and watch your own internal processes, so you can clearly see how you run your mind: how it creates each feeling, each behavior, each meaning you place on an event, and each person or situation you attract.

Once you see the direct connection between what you do inside and what you feel, how you behave, and what you attract - and once you see that you've been doing all of it automatically - you're in a position to run that creative process consciously and intentionally. And once you can do that, you can create, attract, or do almost anything.

Mastering yourself takes work, because it means really looking at what you do inside. Most people have never opened the lid to see what's going on in there. It also means taking the reins and doing something different in order to get a different result.

Most people want a different result without changing what they're doing. But to get a different result - financially or otherwise - you have to believe something different than you believe now. You have to focus your mind differently. You have to think different thoughts. You may have to adopt different values, and focus on what you want rather than what you're trying to avoid. You have to make different decisions. And you have to take different actions.

And you have to stop waiting for these changes to "happen." Decide to make them happen. Be the change.

Burn this into your brain: there is no other way.

Right now, you're getting the results you're experiencing because they're the direct result of how you're currently thinking and acting. If you keep doing what you're doing now, you'll keep getting the same results. To get different results, that way of thinking and acting has to change.

There's a certain way of thinking and acting that will get you any outcome you want - but you have to find it and be willing to adopt it.

So decide. Find and adopt the way of thinking and acting that will bring you what you want - and then act on it today. Not when you feel ready. Not when motivation finally shows up. Today, with one concrete decision you can make in the next hour.

You can do this. I promise.

The 10-Second Decision Catch

Bill says most of us run on autopilot - one part of us dodges the thing that matters while the "real us" watches and feels bad. Here's how to break that loop in real time.

The next time you catch yourself avoiding something - reaching for your phone, "organizing" instead of starting, promising yourself you'll get to it later - stop and finish this sentence out loud:

"Right now, I am deciding to ______ instead of ______."

"Right now, I am deciding to check my email instead of starting on the next chapter of my novel."

That's it. You're not forcing yourself to do the hard thing. You're just naming the avoidance as the decision it actually is. Said out loud, autopilot becomes a conscious choice - and a choice is something you have control over.

Nobody is coming to motivate you.

I'll say it again, because the whole self-help industry is built on pretending otherwise: nobody is coming. Not the perfect Monday. Not the lightning bolt of inspiration. Not the future version of you who finally "feels ready."

The most successful people I know didn't wait until they felt like doing the thing. They decided. And then they let the feeling catch up.

Motivation is what you get after you start. It's not the permission slip you need to begin.

So stop auditioning for your own life.

Decide. Move. The confidence is on the other side. 🎤

🎯 Mini Challenges 

The Decide-and-Act Week

This week, run a small experiment on Bill's central idea: the results you want come from decisions and actions, not from waiting.

Each day, do two things:

1. Catch one thing you've been "waiting to happen". A call you keep meaning to make, a conversation you're avoiding, a start to a project you’ve been putting off.

2. Make one small, concrete decision toward it that same day. You don’t have to climb the whole mountain - just one rock. Send the one email. Book the one appointment. Open the spreadsheet.

Keep a running note on your phone or a scratchpad in the kitchen: one waited-on thing, one action taken, every day for five days.

By Friday you'll have five actions you'd otherwise still be "getting around to" and, more importantly, five pieces of proof that you're the one who moves the needle, not the universe.
