lead by example – Fed Up Of Being Poor

Dream challenge – Raise £250,000 from nothing.

Do you ever get an idea in your head, you have no idea where it comes from but it just will not go away!

This is the latest idea of mine that is not going away. So here it is.

“Raise £250,000”

yes you read this right, raise £250,000 in 6 months!

With this I could buy the house I want and need, that car I like, fund some projects, start a business, help others… it is all there on my vision board.

BUT INSTEAD:

Together with friends, it is my intention to raise this money to build ten wells in ten villages in a third world country…. and I believe it can be done.

If you do not have a vision board or never heard of one, it is a visual piece of words or images that you want in life.

On mine there is a treasure chest and gold like pirates treasure. and like a throne room. Gold never loses its value and as you can see there is an abundance of wealth.

treasure chest

Get in touch with the words “vision board” in the subject line

I can help you create your own vision board and explain how powerful these can be and Intention setting.

Does Intention Setting and vision boards work?

In september 2018 I set the intention to have an apartment with a sea view, 2 bedrooms, with a garden and a parking space and for the rent to be the same where I am.

At the end of March/April I get the keys to move into this place and it has the sea view and the bedrooms and overlooks a garden and has a parking space – this is all true.

What are your Hopes and Dreams?

Do you have dreams or visions and want to know how-to-get help-to- make-your-dreams-come-true?

Maybe to be-debt- free, maybe to have more- money than you know what to do with, maybe to help-others, maybe to save-money.

Maybe you want to know how-to-make-easy-money.. buy-the-house or car-of-your-dreams.. have-no-money worries, give-up-work, work-from-home, make-easy-money-from-your -passions, be-your-own-boss, get -cash-back, get-free-things that you need….the list is endless.

This was all I was feeling, and there is a lot of get-rich-quick schemes but this is not one of them. This is hard work, in parts, and some bits may appear to be good to be true, it might be frustrating, it might take a while.

This is my road map, this is my journey.

There are lots of people out there and you can choose who to follow but seek out those who offer authenticity value and transparency.

“You can do this!”

A few months ago I had a similar vision of raising £2000 which I did using a variety-of-sources. This was starting in negative figures and took me two months and I raised more than this.

Here I am again back with my new mission.

Since then

check this out My personal 10 Top Money Making Tips : I have studied, I have watched videos, I have joined groups, I have made connections with others, I have been reading, I have prayed, I have checked out the law of attraction, made vision boards. I have been active in my quest and I am going to share this journey with whoever wishes to follow.

Anything I share I will fully explain and for >>>>>FREE<<<<<<

Why would I do this?

Because if I can do this, then anyone can.

I have no business back round, no investment- skills, no- fancy-media skills.

I am a dreamer, a health care worker on a minimum-wage looking at how -to provide-a-better life for myself, my family, my friends, my community, the world around me, but also encouraging others to live the life they would like.

As much as I want to receive I want to give – I think it is important to share resources.

Everywhere I go, I look, there are people saying how fed-up-of-being-poor they are are looking for a better life.

You only have to go online to see all those videos on how you can make 6 figures, 8 figures, when to be honest you would be happy to just pay your rent or put food in your mouth.

BUT like food, you need bite size pieces, and if necessary provide 250,000 ways to get money if that is what it takes. Along the way I will leave golden crumbs or nuggets of wisdom so look out for these. I will recap these at the end, so look out for the tool box.

This goal to raise £250,000 is possible whether it takes two months, two years or longer but my intention is within 6 months.

The main thing is to have a goal and to focus, it can be done.

I am looking for partners and sponsors in my mission as one of my legacy dreams is to build a well in a remote village and/or a place of education.

Although I could just donate, I want to be personally involved and invested.

Stay tuned the journey is just starting.

Steven Alexander.

Stay Hungry

Welcome,

Can I ask a question. “Are you hungry right now..and if so what are you hungry for?

Are you fed up of being poor? Do you know what it is like to-be-so-fedup-of-beingpoor?

“Stay hungry” seems an odd title, but this idea of being “hungry” for something is a real motivator as it can push you to strive more for whatever that need is.

When most people think of hungry, they think of being food hunger..but if you think about that feeling, it is about a deep need that needs to be filled, so in that case you need food.

Today I am writing about that hunger to get out of debt maybe or earn extra income or have a better relationship with money … do you ever feel those those?

Do you want to have £250.000 in your account or whatever the equivalent in your currency?

That would be amazing right?

I have a vision board, and on that board is that figure £250,000..

Every day I look at that and I say to myself I want to earn £250, 000.

You may ask why do I want that? why would you ?

I have seen a house that I want. It is beautiful!!

It has lots of rooms, large garden, room for cars and visitors and a kitchen to cook for family and friends and somewhere where I can do my washing and a swimming pool.

Maybe if I had money left over I would start a business to help others.

The truth is ,I have seen many houses like this, but can I afford them? -No.

I am on minimum wage, I struggle to keep my head above the water…….

BUT I aim to be resourceful and one way or other I will get the money I need, why because I have passion and drive. I am hungry! I do not want to be poor, I do not want to live in poor housing and worry if buying my kids shoes means I have to go without food myself, but I buy those shoes.

Sometimes that figure seems miles away and a mountain… but I read somewhere…

“I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it would move. Nothing would be impossible.” Matthew 17:20

I tell you one way or other I will get what I want because I am hungry. I have a dream, I have vision and I know how good that will feel because I can feel that now as though I have received it -I am hungry! (Law of attraction thinking!)

“What to focus on totally affects your life. Think about it. whatever you focus on you will feel even though it’s not true….Focus equals feelings… feelings equals direction” Tony Robbins

A teacher once told me a story of two men who looked out of a prison cell and one looked up and saw the stars and the other looked down at the mud – same position different perspective.

I am holding strong to a vision I had how me giving to others all I have will see it paid forward back to me several times over because I give unconditionally without conditions and this comes at great risk and cost to myself but I have faith.. it may be little faith.. small faith, faith the size of a mustard seed – but I believe!

I would love for my blogs to earn me money. I would like for all the free advice I give out to earn me money..I would like the part time job I have to give me more money but I am looking after my daughter and frankly I want to enjoy life and working full time would kill me – (but it would bring in extra income!)

Some might say but If I am not prepared to work full time then money will not come as I am lazy.

This is wrong! I have been at work for 24 hours and I still have time to help and support others on line in need of help, and I watch videos that will make me a better person and educate myself which keeps me up when should be sleeping but I strive to be better human being and helping others keeps me alive.

Maybe I want life on my terms and work what I want when I want, and even if I earned enough so I did not have to work, I would still work because that is who I am, in a job I am guessing that is helping others less fortunate than myself.

Let me encourage you to keep dreaming. Change your focus if you need to.. change your story if your story isn’t working for you, because the same story gets dull right!

Stay hungry!

Achieve those dreams?

Continue to be so fed up of being poor.

God bless you and thanks for reading and following.

Hold your Shhhh…ip together.

Reaching out to others and achieving goals and dreams together

Hello my friends welcome back to another exciting fun filled blog of procrastination, adventure, and probably nonsense.

So friends let us just dive right in here with somersaults and back flips like a pro diving Olympian. (thank fully no heights are involved)

So the title today, …I have had to re word it slightly, but metaphorically as the waves of life can battle us and how those waves can come, I thought it was a great array of describing words.

“Hold your shhh ip together”

I have spoken about vision boards and goals in other posts, and it is always good to see a measure of someone by seeing what they actually do : again “walk the walk”

So here are a couple of mine. –

Be mortgage free.

I am in the process of selling my old family home that has tenants in. Whist it has paid a portion of one morgage off, it did not cover the rent of where I was living, which was a tiny place. 4 years ago I moved from a family home to follow my dream of :-

living by the sea. I put things in storage and I lived in a caravan (I think my american family would call it a “van” or a “trailer”) for a while until I could get a house. The beaches are beautiful, I see seals often in the wild, I kayak, I have owned a small boat.

I made this dream happen!

The rent was under the market value to support the struggling family who lived there and they had no rent rise in 7 years. Knowing what it is like to struggle, I wanted to help the family out.

The time has come to sell it and move on.

The sale of the house will make me MORTGAGE FREE

To be retired at the age of 40 – I currently work part time so I am semi retired – (I tell myself)

The reality is without a miracle or a lottery win or kind benefactor, I will not be retiring anytime soon, and even if I retired from my current job I would still be involved in unpaid charity work. – I am still working at being FINANCIALLY FREE

TO BE A WRITER

Always dreamed of writing. I used to write the odd poem, been known to write the odd story, but moving on…but more recently I wanted to start living this more. I joined a group who encouraged me to “Just write!” and so began.

5 months on.. I am now currently writing reviews, write and research for friends who need support. I am thinking about an e book. I write the occasional blog and poem. I have a novel in mind which is in early stages. – I am achieving but developing.

To own my own business – I am so far off this mark I am barely off the blocks but the fact is I am off the blocks so I am progressing very slowly with ideas and options.

SHARE SUCCESSES AND FAILURES

It is great when we succeed or can share our success stories, but it is also ok to fail, as by failure we learn to grow and develop and help others out.

I am not sharing my journey for any accolade or ego trip. I am writing these as a reminder for me but also to encourage you out there, who ever you are, whatever you do to keep hold of your dreams and missions and hold on to these during the rough seas.

It can be hard to “keep our ship” together but that is when we need to dig deep and hold on to our resources and hard work already done. I strongly believe that although sometimes we may think it is all for nothing, at some point things will click.

Let me share a quick story.

As I sat at inside an american eating place yesterday, a guy is over hearing me on the phone talking to my lawyer about my house sale, and starts yelling across the restaurant to talk to me, or rather tell me about his housing issues.

I invite the stranger over to sit with me, and then begins to tell me his life story of battles with is land lady trying to evict him, not doing things legally or by the book. Going on I learn about his medical issues, and family issues, not being able to see his kids, and battle with mental health and suicide.

By the end of our conversation we had talked about long term planning, goals, life survival skills, peer to peer support, tenant advice, and the guy thanked me for making him smile and giving him a sense of hope.

This my friends, is what I live for to help other human beings out, and so occasionally you may see a paypal link to my site so I can be available and support people, whether it is free counselling, mediation, practical support etc… jack of many trades, master of none.

I have many such instances like these. It is nice to know that the things I had worked hard for and even battled could help others.

Increase Income – I have picked up more shift work. While this is not ideal and hard work it brings in just enough to cover debts – money is out there, sometimes it is a matter of how much we want it and are prepared to do for it. (I am still thinking of signing up to be a “rent a friend” though ethically this still does not sit well with me personally. I believe it is possible to DOUBLE YOUR INCOME.

My Throne Room – I promised I would be opening up a “throne room” of resources. Please do go and check it out.

So my 5 TOP TIPS today as you go about your personal missions whatever they may be are to:

Hold on to dreams and goals,

Keep hold of the Long game.

Keep walking the walk – lead by example.

Choose your mentors wisely.

Use your training and resources.

Charity begins at home

Welcome,

I have had to re edit the title of this page a few times as it covers a few areas, but I think this title really says a lot in itself.

In all of my years of charity work, fundraising work it is so humbling when you see those who cannot afford to give “give”. This is not to meant to be offensive in any way, I mean, who am I to say who cannot afford to give – I am, because I am one of the many who give without thinking, without counting the cost, whether we can afford to or not. We would give to another before our own need even if our need is greater! Together we are rich in different ways.

Welcome to my blog!

As the webpage address suggests “I am fed up of being poor” – this is not to point the finger at poor people and somehow suggest they are less of a human being than me, but the opposite – It is my obligation, my duty, my calling, to help those in poverty or are praying that phrase with bated fed up, hopeless breath..sighing “I am fed up of being poor.”

If you follow my site, thank you so so much, I love you more than I will ever be able to repay your kindness….if you are not a follower yet – I hope you soon will be.

Bit Of HIS STORY

Back in January, maybe just before, I was “invited” to a writing group, as someone who had told a friend that I was interested in writing. Now these were mostly already published authors of great books, online material, and here I was a small fry in a pan of big cheeses, no material, no idea, nadda, nothing, just some pumped up punk with a dream of writing something.

“Just write..” “Just do it”

So I began exploring with ideas…..and finally I came up with…..

yep – rags to riches story.. and this would be amazingly transformational, world changing, would get 1000 followers… I would be the king on my throne people…

and then… of course..one person points out….”

“but you are still in rags!”

so here is my back story…… I am not going to try to sell anyone anything or convince anyone my way is going to make anyone rich, because I am still in overdraft…. but people let me tell you this man is on a mission!!!!

I am researching, I am studying, I am building this blog as my journal ..real, live, on line off line journal of little old me just trying to better myself and in the process support others with what I am learning…. I am learning quick.

To recap –

I am no expert at being rich but I am an expert in being poor and having no money.- but getting there.

I am still in some debt,(just) (ish) (a small bit)(manageable) It is possible to get out as I have done!

I have paid off huge amounts of debt in less than 3 months.

I have discovered great resources, communities, businesses, bloggers…

I have found a new love(s)… an online love of blogging and search for passive income 9-5 job just is not where I want to be.

I have helped lots of people.

I have been helped by lots of people – this is hard and humbling especially if you are someone who is a “giver” (keep it clean people) receiving and accepting help can be very hard.

I have discovered that you discover who are genuine and sincerely want to help! – we all appreciate free things and generosity – we believe what goes around comes around. I am thankful for the huge support I have. It is good to get connected.

So……. this month has been a struggle because although it is my fault because I have overspent – I now have to put into place the strategies and tips I have been bleating on about in my posts..

image of a sheep with open mouth making a bleating sound — who wants to be a bleating sheep or a sheep at all?

I have to walk my own walk and talk less of my own talk less bleating!

So here are my Get out of debt 8 easy tips….

Get help (could be internet, e.g google, you tube, websites) – Do some research…The throne room has some good resources.
Do not be afraid to ask for help or too proud to receive help.
Find ways to de-clutter and sell items – let us get some money coming in.
If you have the opportunity to work, or do more hours – take it up... suck it up for a short while, even if it is not ideal – (Someone did suggest to me escorting – but that is not me.)
Do a “talent and passions audit.” write down the things you are interested in doing and find ways to make money from it… i,e gaming, or walking the dog, or poetry, or writing, or selling…. seriously people there are ways of making money from doing almost anything.
Do not talk about it….do it!
Do not rely on others, trust in yourself.
work work work! work for your dreams – it will pay off.
