The importance of the question: "What's right about me I'm not getting" Why there's no such thing as a money issue, only what you're willing to receive What's the importance of "interesting point of view, I have this point of view" Why we have a hang-up around money Why joy doesn't follow money, but money follows joy What it means to be willing to receive Why we have an addiction to being miserable What happens when we're miserable Why we don't want to put up walls to receiving What's the 10% account? What it means your point of view creates your reality, your reality doesn't create your point of view Why you don't want to touch your ten percent When you want to say "What's it gonna take to pay this without dipping into the ten percent…show me something new" Why we want to ask the universe "what's it gonna take to change this" "If I was truly creating my life today, what would I chose, right away?" Why you want to actually ask the Universe for what you want, and why you need to ask yourself how much you need to create happiness in your life What's the importance of "ask and you shall receive" Additional Resources: www.DrDainHeer.com www.AccessConsciousness.com …….
