WILL YOU BE A MONEY TAP OR A DRAIN IN 2012? by Rik Schnabel
WHEN IT COMES to money, have you ever noticed how some people tend to be like taps and others like drains? While the taps create money like it’s an unlimited resource, the drains never seem to have enough of it. I’m very familiar with the drain
mindset because I used to be one until my very first wealth mentor taught me about the ‘money paradox’ and the two most powerful energetic laws that surround it. I would love to share these with you as this will make a dramatic difference to your 2012 and beyond. While the drains believe that the more
you take the more you have, the money paradox is contrary and the money taps know that the more value you give, the more you make. This might not make much sense at first. Let me explain some of the powerful energetic laws that underpin this profound insight and will improve your relationship with money in 2012. The first energetic law that you need
to understand is ‘The Energy of Value’. Simply stated, when you grow or improve your value, you grow your attraction and therefore your wealth. Imagine an iPhone without apps or a house without a view and you get a sense of what I’m talking about here. The higher the value, the higher the energy, and that translates to more money.

Now you might say that it’s not about the money, and you’re right – it’s not. It’s all about the energy exchange; the money is simply a by-product and the great creators of value know this. The greater the value you create for
others, the more magnetic you become to money. What I see, however, is that the drains get this completely wrong. Instead of improving their offering and growing their value, I see too many simply discounting what they give and in a sense not valuing it. It almost seems like there is something wrong with the offering. Here both the buyer and the seller undervalue the offering. Instead of discounting, why not value-
add? To completely understand ‘The Energy of Value’, imagine that in 2012 you grow the value of what you offer to such a degree that it cannot be eclipsed or matched. Another way to look at this could be to offer something so unique that it cannot help but stand out. Another insight worth noting is that
drains do not realise that anything you do that decreases the energy of your products, your team or even your energy, reduces your value. Think of complaints, whingeing, arguments, carpet bagging or limiting
your love or care as dramatically reducing your value. We all know someone that has a draining effect on us. If you said that our attraction to money
could well be found in our energy, you may have found the greatest source of wealth – you!
The true source of money and wealth
is not the economy, the banks, your employer or even your customers or clients. The real source of money and wealth is you! So growing your personal value by investing in yourself could be one of the best financial decisions you’ll ever make. I would even go as far as saying that, if you have any negative associations to money, do something about it, because I can assure you that if you don’t, you are likely repelling money from your life. If you’ve learned Neuro Linguistic Programming you realise that we humans place meaning upon everything – and I mean everything. It is the very meaning that we place upon money that determines if we have lots of it or little. Think back to the last time you pulled up next to a Lamborghini or Ferrari and recall what you might have called the driver, in your head of course. Whatever you thought of the driver will either attract or repel money to you, as associations run deep and we never wish to become who we slur.
WEALTH = (VALUE X LEVERAGE) Now that you’ve increased your value, it’s time to leverage it. The formula for great wealth is value times leverage. After all, there is no point in having all this value to offer others if nobody knows about it. This leads us to the second energetic law which is ‘The Energy of Attraction’. One way to look at this energy is the difference between creating an attractive garden that attracts butterflies as opposed to going out and catching them with a net. The latter requires far more energy on an ongoing basis and usually produces a lesser result. A beautiful garden has a high energy of attraction and draws to it butterflies and busy bees easily, while an unattractive garden is so often passed or ignored. Leverage is the art of less effort for a greater result, and attractive gardens with lots of value are a perfect foundation for leverage. A well designed and systemised garden will attract wealth through leverage; other people’s time, efforts and money. If you truly want to create wealth and shift from the drain mindset, do something dramatic to change your thinking and tap into wealth.
