The principles in and of themselves are facts about how we experience reality, they’re not a technique to use or a method of creating more money.
Having said that, I have found that as I’ve explored the Principles, they have helped me in generating more income as a coach and also helped me spend less money on things that I don’t need. Because before coming across this understanding I used to think I needed to buy things to make me feel happier, more fulfilled or complete.
At the same time, I do see a lot of thinking amongst people in the 3P community around money that is actually quite unhelpful when desiring to create more income.
Though I can relate, because I had a lot of thinking around money myself, such as how earning above a certain amount was greedy and selfish or that I shouldn’t charge for my work as a coach – that all I do should be available for free.
I was recently talking to a client who was telling me he had a lot of money thinking and couldn’t imagine charging as much as I do for his coaching services. I told him I have zero thinking about charging for my work – in fact, if anything, I believe I’m undercharging.
But that hasn’t come about through some kind of technique or through a system of “using the Principles” it’s come about from living from the Principles, developing a skillset in my profession and looking at the reality and the demand for my work.
I think the same is true if I were still in a corporate career. An understanding of the Principles could help me get promoted quicker as I dropped misunderstandings around stress, productivity and what I thought promotions would mean to me; and I can also see how a superficial understanding of the Principles would likely not help me much to create more money.
There’s a great interview I did for the 3 Principles Global Community a couple of years ago where we went deeper into how this understanding applies to money.
