You may want financial success, and all that it could bring into
your life.
But “Coach Don” says: “I Want to Give You a Million Dollars!”
Now, what will you do with it?
In my Spiritual Coaching business, I work with my clients to
reach down inside themselves and design their own success.
Believe it or not, the people who reach their dreams, who I work
with as their Coach, these are regular people working to make a
living in their own businesses, probably a lot like you, trying
to balance out a life of challenges, spouses, children, dreams
and desires.
People who care about their own success, and are working to make
it happen.
And in reaching for and designing your own success, to create the
life you truly most desire, I’d like to give you a million
dollars.
How’s that sound?
Here’s the rub: You have to answer the following question by
making your list:
What will I do with a million dollars?

Now we’re gettin’ somewhere!
Most people start to move away from accumulating more ‘stuff’ as
they realize that they aren’t going to get happy with gathering
things.
After all, how many storage units do you really want to rent?
Did you move away from lists of ‘things as you wrote your second
and third lists? How is your third list different from your
first?
Most people will begin to focus on helping other people. They’ll
start orphanages for homeless children, they’ll contribute to
world peace, they’ll provide low- or no-interest loans to women
living in poorer countries who want to start a small cottage
business.
Are you with me on this? Did you find yourself wanting to
contribute to the quality of others’ lives by the time you
started writing your third list?
Me too.
So now let’s look at what patterns you saw come out? What were
you going for in the last list that might have been missing in
the first?
What qualities of life stand out for you as you progressed from
spending one million to the next million, and then to the third
million dollars?
What does this tell you about what really, truly makes up your
success in your own heart of hearts?
And what difference will doing this cute little exercise in
spending Coach Don’s hard-earned “money” make to your life?
To find out what difference doing this exercise could make in
your life, here’s what I’d suggest you do, in acting as your
Spiritual Coach for the last ten minutes:
1. Take your list. Make a Mind Map of the ‘things’ that you truly
want that are on your three lists, placing pictures on the map
from magazines.
Post your Mind Map up on your wall, where you’ll see it everyday.
Enjoy it.
2. Then, take those qualities that show up in your three lists
that aren’t ‘stuff’.
Make a separate list called “My Most Desired Qualities in Me”.
Prioritize this list, as to those qualities that you really,
really want to be living, that you truly want to be “showing up”
in your life.
3. And now, take them one at a time, being patient with yourself,
and start “acting as if” you actually are that quality in your
daily life.
That’s the success I want you to go for!
That’s the success I help clients reach for in our work together.
That’s the kind of success that will help you shine in your life,
if you’ll just be willing to go for it. Starting now.
What can your next step be? What does your third list tell you is
most important, most likely to bring to you your deepest
satisfaction?
Let’s go for that, shall we?
I wish you well in all that you do,
Coach Don
