Ever wondered how making money is easy using the law of attraction? All right. We got to have a talk about saving money, making money, and building wealth in the spiritual community. We got to do it because there are too many spiritual people that are broke. And it's just as much of a cornerstone as anything else when we're talking about self-actualization self-reliance and self-realization. So my name's Jake with jakeducey.com. If you haven't yet, I got free success hypnosis, right there down below to reprogram your subconscious mind and old limiting beliefs. about money. So let's dive right into this video, like many people that are interested in spirituality and how to manifest money, and all these really big goals. There are also books to read to become rich which you should check out sometime.
Making Money Is Easy But You Learn By Being Broke First
I remember I was 20 and I wrote down my first goal, and I put it on the wall and I started visualizing it. I made my vision board and it was always like, "I wanted to inspire millions of people, become a multimillionaire, have total financial freedom, and do all these cool things." I had these big goals, but I was always broke. And it wasn't until I finally realized that how you behave around $1 affects how many dollars you get because it's a game of consciousness. So I always poo-pooed the idea of paying myself first to save money, because I was like, "I don't have any money to save." I have this little amount and I'm going to spend it and I'll wait till, like, I'll wait until the millions roll in.
I was listening to a money seminar and they were talking about Sir John Templeton, who is a famous investor who, you know, became one of the most successful and powerful investors in the world. And when he was building his career in his twenties, he saved over 50% of everything that he was earning so that he could build his career. And I was like, "Wow, I'm going to do that." And I had never thought about it before. And I didn't like the idea of saving money. And I noticed that so many spiritual people are broke.
Self-Realization - Many Spiritual people Are Always Broke
They don't like the idea of having to save money because, you know, that's not very conscious. You just have to manifest your abundance, guys. So I find that so many spiritual people are always broke. To me, that's not self-actualization when you can't pay your bills, you can't fix your car, you're asking everybody for money, and you can't do the things you want. You've always wanted to travel. You've always wanted to become a musician, build your business, or start your YouTube channel, but you never have the equipment or the right computer gear. Or the right video or audio gear or whatever. How is that self-realization? How is that spiritual?
Money Is Energy That Gives You Self-Reliance
Money is energy that gives you self-reliance on this plane. So I finally was like, "Wow, that's me." I'm that typical spiritual person that is broke but wishes that I had money, always projecting it to the future. Someday I'm going to get it just not right now because I'm waiting for the big flow to come. Meanwhile, I spent all of it. I never have any money. I never have any savings. And I say, it's just not very much money. I'll do it once I get more money. And I finally shifted and I said, ``I'm going to do what this guy did" Sir John Templeton did this. This doesn't feel spiritual, this doesn't feel like I'm awake and cool. It's kind of humiliating because it makes me realize I don't have any money, right?
Self Actualization - Finish My Video And Say "I'm Going To Do What Jake Was Talking About."
So I was talking to my videographer before, and we were talking about how it's more than just watching YouTube videos and reading books or going to seminars. We think about things like attracting abundance into our lives and making more money. And if we just read enough books, watch videos, or go to enough seminars, there's a point at which we have to go from learning it to living it right.
Learning it is by watching my YouTube videos, which are like reading books, right? That's learning it. It's important, but it's not everything. This is coming from a person that makes their living off of YouTube. Just watching my videos is not going to get you ahead financially. You have to finish the video and say to yourself, " I'm going to do what he was talking about." I'm going to commit to myself that I'm going to start. "
Making Money Is Easy By Saving 50% Of Your Earnings
If you're saving 10% and you don't have 10% of the very few dollars you get every month, what can you do with it? Nothing. I said, "Well, I should save 50% of it." I was like, "Well, how am I going to do that?" And how am I going to live off the rest of it? But what it ended up doing was making me game-ify it.
So it did become paying myself first in these little Dave Ramsey money tricks that seem so silly and elementary that they are not for me. I finally did those things, but What will happen next? I turned it into a game of consciousness, which is what happened. I decided to follow the example of Sir John Templeton, a billionaire, and started saving 50% of every dollar that came in. This forced me to adjust my income goals using the basic laws of relativity.
Most people are so focused on constriction and they're so focused on the little money that's coming in their account every month. And how do I nickel and diamond as much as possible to save as much as I can. And somebody says, "We'll save 50% of it." Take that challenge. You go, "Well, how can I do it?" You don't understand. I don't have enough money." That was me until this other voice spoke to me, and it taught me to gamify it.
So I started looking at it and saying, "Well, how much more do I need to make to do it. So then my goal went from some small amount to double. Suddenly, it was expanding my consciousness and forcing me to start making bigger goals. So I could live by that 50% margin. And it became a commitment to be true to my own words.
Making Money Is Easy From Learning It To Living It
It's starting. So it's going into your bank account right now and saying, "Okay, here's how much is in my checking account." Let me start this off by taking 15% of what's in my checking and mandatory putting it in my savings account right now. Then let me, game-ify this. Let me pick a number that I want to have saved in the next three months." It's doing those things because then we go from learning it to living it.
We go to challenge ourselves to stretch our minds, instead of saying, "Well, it's easy for you to say, because right now I'm in debt." And right now I'm only making $11 a month. And right now, I only have this much coming in. I'll do it when I get more. And those are the people that learn it. They say, "cool video, Jake." But like, I'm looking for some more spiritual techniques so I can just manifest it.
And it just comes through my ventilator in my air conditioner, you know, and basically, to get ahead, we have to wake up. Like, we can't just watch my videos. You have to go grab a pen and start to write out what your savings goals are and actually non-negotiably stick to them. People go, "Well, what if something comes up? You know, that's not very spiritual. What if I want to do something better with my money?" What would be really spiritual is to put, both your feet in the sand and say, "I am not going to be broke anymore." I'm going to save money. And I'm commanding myself, the subconscious mind in the universe, to start to bring more money in, right?
Self Actualization -Use The Law Of Relativity To Triple Your Income
Because let's say metaphorically, let's say you make $2,000 a month and you're going to start saving 20% or 50% of it, because then you go, "Well, if you save 50 %, then you only got a thousand left." How do you live off that? Well, that means you need to grow your income. Your problem isn't that you weren't saving well enough. Your problem is you haven't expanded your mind by using the law of relativity to double or triple your income.
And when you start to non-negotiable save money, it actually becomes a game of stretching your level of awareness and consciousness that says, well, maybe I could actually attract more. Maybe I could provide more service to the world. Maybe I could come up with more creative ideas that could fill this need. So then instead of constantly reacting to life and reacting to our bank account, well, my bank account says, "Hey, do you want to do this really cool thing?" I can't be broke. Hey, you want to save some money? Well, I can't, I'm broke. Hey, you want to do this? I can't, I can't.
Instead of reacting and our thoughts and behaviors being controlled by the little light photons that are flooding and fleeting known as your bank account, they're just a bunch of little light photons. Instead of doing that, we become creators. Instead of reacting and living our lives and our thoughts with the reaction to the light photons, we go, "I am going to change it." I'm going to have this amount of money. I'm going to get rich. I'm going to have financial independence. We move from reactionary consciousness to creating consciousness. This can all start from a simple thing such as paying yourself first.
Money Is Energy, And It's A Cornerstone Of Self-realization, Self-actualization, And Self-reliance
I hope that the video wasn't too non-spiritual for you. But you know, we look around at the world today and nine out of 10 people die with less than $10,000 in virtually no financial assets. That means 80 percent of people are not only living paycheck to paycheck. We're dependent on other people. And there are so many things we're meant to do in life. And we can never do them when we're so constricted by money. And so then we're taught, well, just be happy with what you've got. I don't think we're meant for that. I think we're meant for something more.
I think you're meant for something greater and bigger, but it all comes back to realizing that money is energy, and it's a cornerstone of self-realization, self-actualization, and self-reliance so that you can claim your own sovereignty in this plane and claim your own freedom in this plane.
Otherwise, we become dependent on other people, centralized governments, and family members for our little slice of freedom. I don't think that's what the universe intended for us. I think it intended us for something greater. And so, I encourage you to start paying yourself first. And if you say, "Why not already double your savings?" If you save 10%, turn it to 20. Now, if you save 15, turn it into 30. Now, if you save 20, turn it to 50 now. When you do this, you're going to find that dormant forces will become active within you.
Reprogram Your Subconscious Mind
Financially, new creative ideas will spur. You'll attract new synchronicities, new opportunities, businesses, customers, clients, partners, and things that will just come to you.

It's in the description right there down below, right? Like I said, it's not just about watching videos. It's not just about reading books, going to seminars, or whatever. We have to actually do the work. And one of the most important things is reprogramming.
Our subconscious mind. Psychologists tell us that 95% of our lives are controlled. Subconsciously in the sub-means below. So it's below our consciousness, and this includes our financial life. You know, I said earlier, all that data about how so many people, so many of us, spend our lives imprisoned by financial limitations. Well, we inherit all those crappy belief systems from other people. So you've got to reprogram your subconscious mind for financial abundance. And I have free success hypnosis right there, down below in the description and pinned to the comments.
