The #1 Reason Why I Wouldn't Pay My Bills

Hey Guys,

pretty risky subject, right?

Well...I believe it's not...

Why is that?

Simple...

See, I've struggled for over 15 years to make that business working for me and the worst of all, I was 8 years on welfare...not very funny...

Anyway...but these years have taught me something very important for my whole life:

>>> If You Stop Growing, You Won't Achieve Your Goals, No Matter How Big Or Small They Are....<<<<

While these 15 years I had a lot of financial problems, I couldn't pay a lot bills...

Don't get me wrong, I don't want you to stop paying your bills, that's not the purpose of this thread....

The Purpose of it is, when I needed to decide between paying my bills or investing in my personal growing, I would always choose personal growing.

Because here is the catch:

The more you grow as a personality, the more the universe is willing to send you money. In this life it's all about "How much are you worth to the universe in terms of bringing benefits for other people - how much impact you have in other people's live".

Therefore I would always invest in my personal growing and not in paying my bills.

Example:
Let's say I would have $10,000 ready to spend...I could either pay off some debts or I could rather invest in business growing or personality growing...

Hope this makes sense...

Let me know what you think...


Have a good one
- Allen

    Hi Allen,

    I have often been in that position, especially when I was out of work (working a 9 to 5 job never paid off for me).

    I just felt that the money could be best spent toward something more fulfilling and I am not talking get-rich-quick ideas!

    You don't want to "throw it away" by paying off a debt, especially if you can barely pay it anyway. You may as well invest in yourself in the hopes that it will lead to your prosperity.

    At least, that was my logic. It had to be bills that I could "afford" to skip for awhile.

      Yeah, I see....the point is and this what I actually meant, as I wrote this thread, that you should rather invest in something that can make you free of your debts...

      This could be i.e. a coaching program or a mentor program, it could be anything but a cheap product or service...

      The point is, most people invest in a cheap wso every month once or even a few times and they really expect that a cheap product like this can make them rich or they spend $500 for a coaching program...

      I've invested thousand's of $ in my personal development and in my business...If you want to make $10k per month, you need to invest $10k...that's just how business works.


      Anyway...I appreciate your reply.

      Have a good one

    Not at all. I completely disagree.

    Until you pay off your debt, you constantly have this word "debt" hovering in your mind. I would allocate a portion of my finances to pay off debt so that in sometime I can be free.

    Until you are living on your money you are not free. The people who paid you are nice if they are waiting for you to return their lawful money. If you exploit their nature that means you are not helping people (something you mentioned). Its their money which they lent you. You have no right to hold on to it and enjoy your life while people who lent you the money ponder over whether they will get their money back or not. You are not gaining trust and respect this way.

    Forget about universe helping you when you are stealing others hard earned money.

      Interesting...

      From my point of view and based on my own experience it's better to invest in your personal growth because once you start growing more and more, you make more money period. Because you earn what you are worth to the world - how much impact you will have in other peoples lives.

      If your personality is small, you won't make enough money to pay off all your debts.

      In the long term run it's better to invest in yourself because in that way other participate from you much much more.
