Do you have a dream of doing something different in your life that truly fulfills and excites you? Something that your heart and soul is crying out for you to do? I hear you and want you to know that your dream doesn’t have to remain a dream! Even if your current reality looks quite different, you have the power to manifest everything that you desire.
If you’re in a career or working in a job that doesn’t light you up, this can impact so many other areas of your life and lead to a deep sense of satisfaction. So many of us stay in jobs that we don’t love for years simply because we’re shackled to the paycheck that comes with that job, and perhaps maintain a belief that work is something we’re not really supposed to enjoy. This is an incredibly disempowering way to feel but rest assured, it doesn’t have to be this way!
If you desire a job, career or business that you love, that’s all there for the taking! In today’s post, I’m going to show you how to make the change and create that shift from
paycheck to purpose so you can work towards creating a life of Real Wealth.
Many of us have a subconscious belief that our job is something we’re lucky to have or that work isn’t really meant to be enjoyed, it’s something we have to do and get on with. These beliefs often stem from childhood and what were taught to us growing up, where in previous generations, the employment and career landscape was in a very different place.
Whilst having gratitude for the job you are in now is a valuable and useful practice (and we’ll move onto this later!), if you feel tied to your paycheck and desire something different - something greater, the longer you continue to live in this place, the more inner resentment you will feel and sooner or later, a crisis will appear in your life that forces you into a situation where things
have to change. I’ve seen this repeatedly with clients and so many times in my own life! Crisis only happens when we neglect our hearts and stay in a life that isn’t aligned to our soul. It happens to shake us out of our current reality.
I’d like you to begin to challenge your beliefs around the area of work and what your work life means to you. Choose to look at examples of the people in the world who are doing work they love, get compensated abundantly, have time, financial freedom and are living in the
embodiment of Real Wealth! When you choose to observe life through the lens of these types of people, you start to see that this could be possible for you too. No matter who you are, your background or your current financial situation, doing what you love and getting paid for it is something you are worthy, capable and fully deserving of!
Feeling tied to a paycheck is probably the most common barrier I see when people are staying in jobs that don’t fulfil them and therefore struggle to make the shift. If this resonates with you and you’re questioning how to make the change, it’s time to begin stepping into the solutions and planting those seeds of what you want to create.
To do this, you have to start by accepting your current financial reality without any shame, blame, guilt or judgement and begin making a plan to become more financially flexible so that moving from paycheck to purpose begins to become a reality.
I always recommend doing a deep dive into your finances every quarter to heighten your awareness around the flow of your money and to keep setting those intentions to align with where you are at that time. Some key areas to look at are:
Your Financial Past - your debts
Your Financial Present - your present cash inflows and spending
Your Financial Future - asset building, retirement funds and so on.
If you’re in a situation where all your income is going straight back out the door, you can begin to identify where tweaks can be made to become more financially nimble. Now, I don’t want you to view this as a ‘budget’. The word budget can feel constrained and restrictive and this process is designed to be expansive! It’s not about cutting back, it’s about making
empowered choices that serve you and that you feel excited about. These choices are laying the foundation for living that life that you love! For
manifesting more wealth and the dream!
Some ways you can easily begin to create more financial abundance are by going through any subscription services that automatically get taken out of your account yet you barely use or don’t feel aligned to any longer. You can look at ways to save on your cell plan as there are so many options out there now. You can call your bank and enquire about better options that help to reduce the interest you’re paying on your credit cards, if you have them. Don’t be afraid to call and ask for what you want! You’ll often be surprised at the outcome.
Any money that you save can then be put towards funding your intention to leave your job. Meanwhile, begin to express
gratitude for your income from your current job. Even if you don’t love how you’re creating it, choose to see it as funding your new life. This is living in the energy of abundance as opposed to frustration, fear and lack and where you start to attract even more prosperity and opportunity!
The aim here is to gradually eliminate debt and work towards creating financial freedom. To be free of any debt instruments, be free of your paycheck and become your own bank. To create Real Wealth.
You can also look at ways you could generate extra cash flow such as selling any belongings you don’t use or even creating a further stream of income. Once you begin really zoning down into your finances and building that safe financial container, watch how the abundance flows in!
Your dream doesn’t have to remain a dream! Why not start embodying what you want to create right now? As I mentioned before, this is all about planting the seeds and stepping into those solutions! I encourage you to find ways to begin to move from paycheck to purpose, get out there and actually start doing what you love. Even if it’s a couple of hours a week that you dedicate to building that website, marketing your services on social media, telling people, taking a course, expanding your knowledge or simply exploring different ideas.
This is how to make the change and move into that energy of expansion! When you begin to live in the essence of the person you came here to be, you create more joy, possibility and momentum. You also begin to feel differently about the job you’re currently in because you know you’re actively working towards a greater vision and see your job as the stepping stone to this.
