"If only you had time..."
 One of the most prevalent scarcity patterns that all entrepreneurs experience in today's fast-paced world is thinking that they don't have "enough time" to do their business.
In a similar manner to which procrastination and overwhelm can occur, thinking that you don't have "enough" time to do your business can often be the result of an overemphasis on quantitythat "sets up" scarcity. If what you think you have to do for your business is A LOT or will take A LOT of time, the natural reaction in today's busy world is to think that you don't have "enough" time to do it!
Again, if you're thinking about ALL or HOW MUCH you have to do, you are focused on quantity. And whenever you focus on quantity, it frequently creates a judgment or belief on your part that something, e.g., like the time you have available, is "not enough". And because you don't have "enough" time, you do NOTHING.
Similarly, applying the FOCUS principle is essential for you to break free of your scarcity around time. According to this principle, if you continue to focus on the time you DON'T have, that's what will continue to show up (i.e., not enough time for your business.)
This same FOCUS principle also implies that, if you make a 2-Degree Shift and focus on the time that you DO have and how to best use it, you will be more productive. This is doubly true if you focus on doing SOMETHING with the time that you have – instead of trying to do it ALL or A LOT.
Beyond these, your experience of "not enough time" could also result from a couple of other factors. First, it may be the result of a lack of clarity about what must be done, how you will be able to get it done and how much time it takes. Taking steps to increase your clarity, including writing these steps or actions down AND the estimated time they will take, will support you to shift from an experience of scarcity to an opportunity for creativity.
"Not enough time" may also spring from a deeper scarcity pattern in which you avoid ASKING for and/or RECEIVING support. After all, if YOU (personally) have to do everything YOURSELF, then how much you are able to accomplish and achieve in your life is automatically limited by the amount of time, skills, organizational abilities, resources and energy you have. By utilizing the abundance principles of ASKING and RECEIVING, you can automatically expand your productivity and abundance!
Consider, for example, the difference between a list of actions entitled "Things I Have to Do Today" as opposed to one with a title of "Things to Be Done Today". In the former, the focus is on YOU doing it all and your ability to do so is automatically dependent on the time you have. In the latter, however, the list of things to be done can be accomplished in a myriad of ways, by any number of people - it is not limited to you and your time, energy and actions! By ASKING and RECEIVING, you are able to "leverage" your time and energy - and that's ABSOLUTELY a principle of abundance!
So - what's one way you can LEVERAGE your time by ASKING and RECEIVING today?
Many entrepreneurial opportunities, like those in network marketing, are attractive because of the opportunity they offer people to LEVERAGE their actions, time and energy - and to create a residual income. However, as participants learn and experience in my three-day IMMERSION weekend, Inside-Out Network Marketing, it is IMPOSSIBLE to experience the abundance that LEVERAGE offers you if you are not able to RECEIVE and/or have been "conditioned" against RECEIVING something unless you've "earned it" or "deserve it". That's why actively developing your ability to RECEIVE is essential for abundance and success.That's also why it is ONE of the MANY abundance principles you will learn in this workshop.
