“Being Prosperous in a Down Market”
by Jeanna Gabellini

There are many people who are not really quite sure how to adjust their investment planning during these economic times. I've been working with my personal coaching clients on shifting their thought process from past investing patterns to new successful patterns. If you were doing well before, it was because your strategy worked well with what was happening in that moment. This is a new moment. It is actually ALWAYS easy to make tons of money, both earned and passive. The key is for you to consistently believe that it’s possible and take actions that align with that belief.

My personal investment portfolio does consist of stocks, but this is not my main focus.But I do see my statements and notice that my bottom line is half of what it used to be. I can get upset about it, or change my perspective or change my strategy. The point is to know that you are still the person responsible for generating or repelling the income.

You are not a victim to the market unless you decide to be. Many of you reading this already know that you are always in charge of your abundance, yet are still falling into stuckness around investing by default. What I mean is, to become frustrated with your current reality is an automatic “knee jerk“ response. You say the market “sucks.“ Some of you may not know what to do next, so you sit still waiting for lightning to strike and lead you to your next move.

Now, for some answers. I'm not going to tell you where to invest, as you are more of an expert about you than I am, but I will lead you to focus more powerfully in your strategy. My intent is to have you get more excited about this game than you ever have been. It is a game, remember? If the rules change, then you learn to use them to your benefit. There are a lot of folks out there right now who are rolling in dough. You are just as capable of creating prosperity as them.

Points to remember while playing your investment game:

• Stick to your investment criteria. You have to change where you look for your deals, but your criteria can always be met. For example, I only do deals that I can relate to, see the end result, know background of company/investors, double my investment in three years, don't have to learn a lot about industry. My focus is IPO's, real estate, intellectual property, and start-up's for entrepreneurs.

• Focus on your desired end result and get emotionally excited about it. This will drive you to be solution-oriented when a roadblock occurs. So if a potential real estate deal is starting to reek of negativity and a lot of struggle, you'll be able to let it go gracefully because you know your perfect deal is out there. Or you will be able to have conversations with the seller, bank, or partner that will lead to a win/win for all of you. Getting upset can either lead to a newfound solution or a corner. You choose.

• Listen more to your gut and less to the media and investment gurus. I don't care how bad an industry or economy is doing, there are a million ways to make it work FOR you. If you listen to all the negative stuff, you start unintentionally buying into it. Some people love the stock market right now as it's a chance to buy some favorites on “sale.“ But if you can't get behind this and you're going to be depressed as you watch the daily ticker, forget it. You'll be focusing on what gives you grief, which will generate more grief. You either need to hire a successful broker who does well even in hard times or go play another game. Now might be your time to focus on real estate or how to gross more in your own business. Every expert will tell you a different way to invest. The bottom line is to check in with how you feel. Even if their way is right and you know your fear is not letting you follow the advice ... relax. You can take some smaller action steps first to bridge the gap. There is no hurry. There is only the joy or struggle in this game.

• Keep your beginner's mind. If you are always curious about opportunities and yourself, you'll have an abundance of ways to generate cashflow and learn a ton. One of the most common mistakes is to judge a deal by what you've experienced in the past. If you had a bad experience in the stock market, it doesn't mean the market is bad. It just means the WAY you did it before didn't work. Or the timing may have been off. I am approached all the time to invest in many different deals. Many look the same, many I turn down. Recently, I heard of two different opportunities that I immediately jumped on. One was something that I lost money in before, but something inside me said jump. In less than two months, I made thousands of dollars and I had used none of my own money to invest. This is an example of an open mind and tuning into my intuition.

I want you to know something about me. I am a coach, mentor, and teacher. These are some of my gifts. I am not a financial wizard. If I can constantly attract money easily, you can too. I'm not into details and research. I don't spend a lot of time on investing. When I do, it seems fun and it’s something I WANT to do. I don't “should“ on myself around investing.

You are capable of making 2 to 10 times your current income in 2002. It would not take more effort or time. It would take you letting go of many of your current, sometimes subtle, limitations. You would have to believe that you are worthy of having abundance “just because.“ You don't have to prove it by working really hard or learning a ton. You will need to ask for help from advisers and coaches. You will need to know what questions you need answered and then ask. Answers will be given.

How much prosperity will you allow yourself to have this coming year? How easy will you let it be? Are you willing to let go of money because you believe a lot more is coming?
