Empowering Your Friends: Breaking the Cycle of Financial Sabotage

Chapter 1: The Importance of Supporting Each Other

“How can I genuinely call you a cherished person if I’m not invested in your success and thrilled to witness your achievements?”

Friends supporting each other in their journeys

I firmly believe that deliberately withholding opportunities from others out of fear that their success will detract from your own is a significant barrier to financial abundance. Years ago, I encountered a remarkable female entrepreneur who hosted a Facebook Live session about the energy surrounding money. She stated, “Money is as plentiful as the air we breathe.” That statement resonated deeply with me, as there’s no valid reason to refrain from introducing our loved ones to opportunities that could enhance their financial situations.

In my view, wealth is not scarce on this planet. What one person achieves does not diminish what is available for you and me. Last year, a close friend noticed a new initiative I was pursuing: I began sharing my blog posts on Medium, a platform tailored for writers. At that time, I enrolled in the Partner Program to monetize my work. She reached out to ask about the platform, and I shared how liberating it felt to publish without needing anyone's approval. It was as simple as expressing an opinion, hitting publish, and moving forward with my day.

Intrigued, she decided to sign up. Fast forward to today, and she has experienced remarkable success, which fills me with pride. Along the way, several other friends expressed interest in extending their reach through writing, and they too signed up for the Partner Program. However, not all maintained consistency, which is perfectly fine; writing isn’t for everyone. Those who know me understand that I’m always a resource for anyone eager to get started.

Recently, I published an article on relationships, and a talented young woman, whom I had never met, offered insightful commentary. Her eloquence motivated me to praise her writing style and encourage her to pursue writing if it wasn’t already on her agenda. She confessed she was contemplating it but felt too shy and apprehensive due to the harsh critics online who thrive on undermining new writers' confidence.

Having spent years learning from wise mentors to enhance my emotional intelligence, I approached my writing journey on Medium with an "I don't care" mindset that helped me rise above the negativity perpetuated by naysayers. I advised her to ignore any comments from those who weren't supportive. Not everyone’s opinion deserves your attention, and it's not a writer's duty to absorb negativity just to appear fair.

Forget being fair. As a content creator, your focus should be on monetizing your work and finding your community—everything else is merely a distraction.

After our conversation, she took my advice to heart and began publishing numerous thoughtful, spiritually oriented pieces that many, including myself, have enjoyed. She is rapidly growing her audience and achieving success, and just last week, she expressed gratitude for my encouragement.

I genuinely love it when people take my advice. Her heartfelt words brightened my day.

While I tend to be a private person, I strive to share valuable information with my friends and family, particularly when it comes to financial opportunities. How can I claim to care for you if I’m not invested in your success and thrilled to see you thrive? What kind of friend would I be if I hoarded opportunities and left you to figure things out on your own?

Of course, I can’t force anyone to heed my advice or follow my path. I’m not accountable for what others do with the insights and resources I share. However, I can offer support. I can step in and guide them when I see them potentially undermining their financial prospects.

I don’t know about you, but I want everyone in my circle to succeed. I want us all to reach our goals together. This means that sabotage has no place among us.

Thank you, Lishoné, for being my friend. I am proud of you.

Keep pushing forward, Moon Bastet. You are doing wonderfully.
