Answering Your Money & Manifestation Questions!

Jamie Berman: [00:00:00] Hi friend, I have an extra special podcast episode coming to you today. It is going to be a Q& A session from listeners, from people in my community, from people in my programs. I know that manifestation Can bring up a lot of questions and sometimes what you learn within manifestation can feel like it’s competing like hmm Well, there’s this concept and there’s this concept.

How do you blend those together? How does that make sense? So for those of you who had questions, I am going to be answering all of them today, and I feel like You’re going to get a lot out of this episode because there was such a beautiful variety of questions. And if you are someone who has a question for me that you would like answered on the podcast, or if you want to volunteer to be coached one on one on the podcast, the way to do that is going to be to get on my email list.[00:01:00] 

That’s where I offer these extra special bonuses and I let everyone know about these opportunities. So if you are not there yet, Go to the show notes after this episode, I’m going to put my manifestation for business workbook in the show notes where you can sign up for that. And then you get two extra special things because number one, you will get the workbook sent to you and it’s an awesome workbook.

Like seriously, I use it personally myself. I created it and I use it. It works. Um, and it works so amazingly in terms of actually implementing manifestation. If you’re kind of like, Oh, it’s this out there concept, but I want to learn how to implement it in my business. Download that workbook. You will love it.

And then what’s also fun about that is that then you get on my email list. And you will get announcements for whenever I have special offerings for the podcast or opportunities to ask questions. All right? [00:02:00] Okay, so I’m going to dive right in because we have a lot of amazing, amazing questions. And no matter what, I feel like, You’re going to get a lot out of this episode because the variety of questions is so vast, and I thought they were so helpful, um, and I can’t wait to dive in.

I’m going to do a little bit of teaching, uh, within the answers and let’s dive into your questions. Okay, let’s do it. Okay, so the first question is, could you talk about how it doesn’t have to make sense to your brain when it comes to manifesting money in your business? Okay. That is such a good question because what this client, this is actually one of my clients who asked is referring to is something that I am consistently coaching people on and offering this thought.

It doesn’t have to make sense to your brain, right? Because what happens for a lot of people is that they start doing this work. They start doing the [00:03:00] manifestation work and shifting their energy and shifting their thoughts about money. And all of a sudden, they start making more money, right? Things start flowing in in their business, but what can tend to happen is it’s like the brain can’t really fully understand, because it doesn’t feel super logical, how when you change your thoughts, all of a sudden money starts flowing in, right?

Our brain wants to really understand how this is happening. And so what can tend to happen is people start making more money, But their brain says that makes no sense. It’s a fluke. What if it doesn’t happen again? What if it was just this month? What if I’ve run out of all of my people, right? Like we just come up with all of these limiting beliefs because the brain doesn’t really fully understand how money is created, right?

It doesn’t understand energy. It doesn’t really understand manifestation. And that’s okay, right? So I’m always offering this thought to my [00:04:00] clients. Your brain doesn’t have to understand this. Like ego’s never fully gonna get this thing called energy. It’s just not. And yet it can still work. It’s kind of like gravity.

I mean, unless you’re like a scientist, I think most of us don’t fully understand how gravity works. Yet, we accept that it works, right? We’re like, I’m pretty sure I’m always gonna stay on the ground. Right? Like, I’m pretty sure I’m not gonna just suddenly fly up into outer space. And we’re not like, afraid of all of a sudden just, you know, starting to float up into space.

Because we’re afraid that gravity doesn’t work because we don’t understand how it works. Right? And that’s what I want to offer to you and to all of my clients who have that what if it’s a fluke thing is no, it’s not a fluke. It works. Even if your brain can’t fully understand logically how it’s working, you can still trust.

that it works and that just by [00:05:00] shifting these energetics, that is what is allowing you to bring in money. And as long as you keep at it, you’re going to keep bringing in money. So that’s what I mean by our brain doesn’t have to fully understand it. And I will tell you what my brain does not understand it, right?

Because the ways as I worked with my relationship with money, And as I’ve improved it, it’s so wild how it’s such a mirror. It’s like the more I work on my relationship with money and move into a more loving, abundant relationship with money. Money does start flowing into my life, but all the ways that it’s flown in has not made any sense, right?

Like, I’ve manifested so much money through like, real estate, through my homes, right? From like, you know, it’s just like, the price just happened to rise like crazy, right? Things like that, or like Something that happened within my husband’s business that we totally couldn’t have planned for, ever even thought of.

[00:06:00] My business starts to take off, right? So like, it’s happened through all these different channels that I couldn’t have ever planned for. Or, you know, like, under, I don’t fully understand how it works. It’s kind of like, still, my brain is like, wait, what? You work on your relationship with money and then you start making more of it.

It feels very random, but it’s not. So I just kind of accept that that’s how it works, and I trust that that’s how it works, and when I do that, then I don’t feel fearful of losing it, or feel like it’s a fluke. I never tell myself that story, right? And I want to offer that to you as well. Okay. Such a good question.

Okay. Next question is from Crystal and Crystal says, for me, I feel like it’s working in small ways and bigger ways. That’s fun. But when I really want to up level to a higher level of money manifestation energetically, what do I do? And then she says, I love what you said on a [00:07:00] recent call about you get what you I’m sorry.

Let me say that one more time. I love what you said on a recent call about you don’t get what you hope or wish for. You get what you expect. I want to uplevel my general expectation level of what’s possible in my life with money. I love it. So I actually crystal is one of my clients. So I said, all right, crystal, tell me a little bit more.

What does up leveling mean? Is that a certain number? What do you mean by that? And she says, no, not a certain number, more of an expansion. I feel comfortable with where I’m at now, but any amount of much more seems hopeful or wishful. But not an expectation. She says like a 100k year seems way normal, but a 500k or 1 million year seems out there.

It’s not really a specific number though. It seems like an expansion level or something like that. Okay, amazing such a good [00:08:00] question. I love this and here is And that’s why I’m glad that I asked you about a specific number because it helps me with my answer and with how to coach you. So the only difference, and the reason that 500k or 1 million feels hopeful or wishful, is because you’re telling yourself something different about that number than you are 100k.

Right? Right now, your brain and your consciousness and your… Energy is saying 100k, that’s normal, right? That’s your thought, is that’s normal. And what does it feel like? It probably feels really grounded. You probably have an expectation that you’ll always make 100k, and you probably take actions towards 100k.

So that’s why you create a hundred K and then you repeat the thought, well, that’s normal, right? It just like kind of reiterates that cycle for you. The reason that 500 K or 1 million doesn’t is because [00:09:00] you are telling yourself it’s out there. You’re telling yourself something different. So the opportunity, if you want to up level and create this expansion, here’s how you have to do it.

You have to start with your thoughts, you have to start with your mind, and you have to decide on purpose that you are going to shift your consciousness, you are going to intend your consciousness, you’re going to move it and direct it into a place where you can experience it. Thank you. 500 K and feel like it’s normal, right?

So what I would do is I would actually practice this internally. First is. Number one, stop telling yourself that 500 K is harder or it’s this big thing, or it’s something that’s wishful or hopeful or hard to create. Like let go of that. Do not let yourself tell those stories because as long as you tell yourself that you will create that [00:10:00] reality and it’s not true, it’s just as easy to manifest 500 K as it is 100 K.

All right. And there are some people that have thoughts about a hundred k. Like the way that you think about 500k, where they think it’s this big thing that’s scary and hard to manifest. So no matter what number it is you’re manifesting, I want you to practice this thing that I’m going to offer to Crystal.

I want you to see the number that you used to think is hopeful or wishful or harder. Visualize that and imagine your body. I want you to actually physically allow your body to relax as you imagine yourself having that number, having that amount in your business, manifesting that amount in a given year.

Relax your body around it. And I want you to say it’s normal. And I want you to feel that same energy that you feel around 100k. But [00:11:00] let’s just match it with 500k. So I want you to visualize 500k, whatever that would look like. Maybe it’s like looking at your taxes and seeing that you made 500k. And I want you to consistently, like, tell yourself and tell your body, It’s normal.

This is normal. Right? It’s nothing big. You have to stop making it something big because as long as you make it something big, you’re going to think it’s like gonna be this huge mountain to climb and it’s not! It’s not! So let’s normalize 500k to start and then we can work on a million or if you want to If you want to start with a million, go for it, but I, you know, whatever you want, it’s totally up to you.

But what you want to do is you just want to align that energy of it’s normal with that number. And I love that you already have an example of that with 100k because you can just bring what you currently believe there and what it feels like, but just like attach it to a bigger number and that’s how you’ll get that [00:12:00] expansion.

So good. Okay. Now, um, Ellie says, I would love to expect PMD plus in my company, but when the goal is so big, how do we How do we make small up levels quickly to finally get there? Maybe that’s the question. Okay. Awesome. So, notice, again, this kind of reminds me of what Crystal was, you know, referring to when she said 500k as if it’s so big, right?

You have to stop seeing this as so big. Alright, Ellie? So, PMD instead of having the thought it’s so big, what I want you to do is have the thought it’s mine. It’s mine. PMD Plus is mine. I’m heading there and just see yourself having it. Visualize it done. See yourself in that place. Say things like, I belong there.

That is mine. It is done. Feel [00:13:00] that energy in your body. When you go to the place it is done, you know what tends to start happening. We start getting the guidance to get there. We start thinking, Okay, who is the version of me that has that thing, and how can I take a step towards her, right? How can I take a step towards them, or him, or whoever, right?

Like, no matter what your gender is. How do I take a step towards it? Right? Like, it’s almost like what I would do is go to the place where it’s done. That PMD plus is yours and say, what’s my next step? Ask that version of you. What do I need to do to get there? What’s my next step? What’s my next courageous action and take it.

Even if it’s scary, just take it. The other thing that I want to. So I’m going to mention, because as I’m reading stuff, I can feel the energy of y’all’s questions. Just like whenever I’m coaching, I can literally feel [00:14:00] your energy as I coach. So that’s why I’m able to get to the root of things very quickly and easily.

One of the energetics that you have within here is the word quickly. You said, how do I take these small actions quickly? So that to me shows that there is some kind of energy of impatience in there. And you want to clean that up. You want to let go of impatience. That’s going to slow you down. Anytime we want to get somewhere quickly, what do we do?

We slow ourselves down. It’s so true. One of my favorite quotes is from A Course in Miracles and it’s infinite patience equals instant manifestation. The more you can surrender and patience and know it’s done and trust that it’s done and take one step at a time and enjoy the journey while you’re on your way there.

The faster you’re going to get there. So I would clean up this part of you that thinks you need to do it quickly because it’s going to slow you down. [00:15:00] Alright, love it! Okay, next question is from Rebecca. Rebecca says, I get tripped up when I think of a negative thought. Sorry, let me start that one over.

Okay, next question. Rebecca says, I get tripped up when I think a negative thought. Now I’m scared of manifesting that. Right? Okay, so… So what, what Rebecca is saying is she’s afraid of having negative thoughts because she thinks that if she has negative thoughts, she’s negatively manifesting. All right.

And so here’s the thing. Not true. We all have human brains. We all have primitive brains, and we all have a combination of all kinds of thoughts throughout the day. In fact, we have 60, 000 thoughts a day. Some of them are definitely going to be negative because we have an ego. We have a brain, we have fear.

So here is what. Actually, I’m going to give you one of the thoughts that I have taken on that [00:16:00] really was such a game changer around this, and I learned it from the amazing Mike Dooley, who is an amazing manifestation author. And he says, your positive thoughts are 10, 000 times more powerful than your negative thoughts.

Now, I also learned about this in terms of vibration. Because our what we call positive or those vibrations that feel higher or heightened those Vibrations are way more powerful than our lower vibrations, right? They have way more energy to them. There’s just way more expansion within them So what’s fun about that is?

Since they’re 10, 000 times more powerful, as long as you have a couple of intentional, you know, intentional thoughts, intentional, I’ll call them positive thoughts. That’s what’s going to drive you. That’s what you’re going to create. Now, the other thing is that it’s It’s also about [00:17:00] what you listen to. So your brain is going to do what brains do.

We actually can’t control what our brain offers us or what our brain thinks at any given day, right? That’s why people have anxiety. And there’s all kinds of things. We have the human condition. We are not in control of what our brain spits out, but what we can do is we can decide what thoughts we’re going to listen to, which thoughts we’re going to give into and what thoughts we’re going to say.

Okay, brain, I hear you, right, and not give into it, and that’s a huge part of manifesting. It’s like deciding on purpose which thoughts you’re gonna give into, right? Are you gonna give into the thoughts that say you’re unworthy? Oh my gosh, you’re so stupid. Oh my gosh, this is never gonna happen, which, by the way, wait for it.

If growing, our brain is going to experience doubt. It’s going to experience fear. It’s going to experience all kinds of things, and we’re going to doubt ourselves and question ourselves, and that’s totally [00:18:00] okay. That is a part of growth and expansion. And in fact, if you’re experiencing that, it probably means you’re growing.

But here’s the opportunity is just to decide on purpose and start recognizing what thoughts are most common. Like, what are your most common negative thoughts? Because they tend to be habitual. And when you can start recognizing which ones are habitual, you can start catching them and just say, Okay, brain, no.

Yeah, I’m not giving it to you. I’m not giving it to you. Okay, yeah, I’m not going to take action from this thought. I can experience it. I can feel it in my body. Because you will, right? We always have a feeling attached to every thought because our feelings are just the energy of our thoughts, right? We can feel it.

And you, you can feel it, but don’t take action from it. Don’t listen to it. Don’t give into it. And then it has no power or no control over you. And what’s awesome about this is the more you don’t give into a thought, and this can take time, [00:19:00] so you have to be patient with this process. But the more you just kinda disregard, let yourself process the emotion of a thought, but you don’t give into it.

You don’t act from it. Guess what? That thought’s going to start dissipating. It’s not going to show up as much because there’s no energy there. There’s nothing for it. To grab onto, there’s no reason for it to come, right? So that’s a practice that you can do is just the more you can stop giving into those limiting beliefs and limiting thoughts and whatever you’re, you know, Nutty things your brain has to say, which all of our human brains do, more you can stop giving into it.

It won’t have power over you and it will some one day realize, I don’t really need to show up anymore. Or like… You don’t give in to me. There’s no reason, right? Like, all right, Rebecca, right? Like, you’re not giving in to me anymore, so I might as well not come knocking. So, in that sense, that’s where we do have power and control, but we [00:20:00] don’t have power over, like, what our brain is thinking in any given moment.

It’s just that the more that we can train our brain of what we’re going to listen to and what we’re not with our prefrontal cortex, our higher brain, That’s kind of how, over time, we have control over it, if that makes sense. Okay, such a good question, but yeah, and, like, seriously, I, I always say, like, all of our brains have a human, you know, 50 50, like, 50 percent of our thoughts tend to be, Somewhat primitive 50 percent are conscious depending on you know, who you are and how much you practice intentional thinking and stuff But like we all have human brains and we all manifest amazing things, right?

I think about like some of the people that you know I live around me and I have I live in Los Angeles, right? There’s a lot of abundance and I’m like, believe me These abundant people, they are not thinking positive all the time. So it doesn’t necessarily equate to manifesting something, right? [00:21:00] It’s just that like the experience is so much better whenever you are thinking kind thoughts about yourself.

But in order to manifest more money, all you have to do is So you have to, um, decide you’re deserving and worthy of it and that you’re doing it. All you have to do is believe I can make money and you can make money. It doesn’t matter how positive or negative you are, right? It’s that one belief that’s gonna allow it to do it.

Okay. So good. Julie asked the question, I cannot seem to maintain my belief in myself and my ability to generate more revenue past the time that I’m in the energy of your coaching. Once I step into my real life teaching, paying my bills, increasing rent, stagnant growth in my relationship, my partner’s money worries, it all gets to me and I lose my belief.

Okay, Julie, first thing is, I [00:24:00] think that’s normal and it’s totally okay. Right? Especially when we’re learning a new skill, when we’re learning a whole new thought process. That’s normal. Right? And I think that’s just part of the human condition. We tend to forget. But… That’s why you keep coming back, because coming back into that energy and coming back, if you tap into that belief consistently, that is going to go so far, and you have to trust in that, right?

And the intention is, of course, to infuse it throughout your life. but I think it’s really important to have grace for yourself if you miss the mark or if you step out of belief. And then you can ask yourself a question. Instead of expecting yourself to always be in that energy of belief, say this, ask yourself this question.

How can I be in belief just 1 [00:25:00] percent more tomorrow or today, right? Just in this moment, how could I practice being in belief just 1 percent more today? If you ask yourself that question every day, you will start to grow into it. But I think it is important that we allow ourselves to take baby steps in that, because baby steps are massive.

Again, just like I was telling Rebecca, our positive thoughts or those moments when we step into belief are 10, 000 times more potent and powerful than any negativity, any kind of, you know, moving out of belief, anytime our ego takes over, it’s totally fine because you being willing to tap into that belief or come into the energy of it, like you said, consistently, we.

It is totally what makes the difference, right? And I think about it like this, [00:26:00] um, in terms of like a meditation retreat, right? Like I’ve done lots of retreats. I love going on retreat because. Oh my gosh, you’re in the energy and every time I go on retreat I get into this vortex this Magical energy and i’m usually with an amazing spiritual teacher that I look up to and it just feels so good and i’m like Oh, please never go away energy.

This is amazing, right? And then I fly home, and I miss my flight, or it’s delayed, and people are annoying, and I get back in L. A., and the traffic gets crazy, and there’s honking, and I am not in that energy anymore. But here is something that I learned from Jack Kornfeld is he says the real retreat is post retreat, right?

And it’s not about just being in that vortex or in that energy. Being in that short term can [00:27:00] give you much because it gives you a remembering and there’s so much potent energy that allows for growth from that place. But then the real work is like, Ooh, how do I infuse this throughout my life? Right. And it doesn’t have to be perfect.

It’s like, how can I infuse that energy? Just 1 percent more into my life. And do it 1 percent at a time and it will change your life. Same with meditation, right? Whenever I meditate, I feel amazing. I sit on the cushion, I get to that space and then I go up and I’m dealing with, you know, the pool and the garden, right?

Like all kinds of stuff just around the house or my husband and something’s coming up with that. And it’s like, I get out of that energy, but Just tapping into it in the beginning of the day makes a solid difference and I can tell the difference between When I go to that place consistently and when I don’t and you can think of it as the same thing [00:28:00] with the money Stuff right and whenever you’re tapping into that energy consistently That’s the work and you’re learning and you may actually be um Let me say that one more time and I guarantee it’s making a bigger difference than you realize I bet it is being infused in your life more than you realize I would just start looking at how that’s true.

All right and give yourself grace for when you Move out of belief. Of course, you’re a human, right? Okay, couple more questions. Okay,

Nikki says, When I’m living into my future self, who is going out for meals, treating her children to experiences, and relaxing on the holidays, but right where I’m at in the moment, doesn’t… Um, let me say that one more time. Sorry. Let me read it.[00:29:00] 

Okay. When I’m living into my future self who is going out for meals, treating her children to experiences and relaxing on holidays, but right where I am at the moment doesn’t have the finances to do those things. I don’t feel like I’m living into my future self because I’m not doing the things she’s doing.

How do I overcome this battle in my head? Okay, such a good question, Nikki. And the way that I think about it is it’s more of the energy that your future self is in. How does your future self think? How does your future self feel? What do those experiences feel like, right? What does it feel like when you’re going out for meals?

What does it feel like when you’re treating your children to experiences? And relaxing on holidays, right? Because you have access to those feelings now. You don’t [00:30:00] actually have to do the things. You don’t have to spend the money to create that feeling. So what I would get more curious about is, What are the feelings that my future self has?

And how can I cultivate more of that now because it’s totally accessible and doesn’t cost you a dime to create feelings. So that’s the first thing that I would say. The other thing that I would say is, I would just question the part that says I don’t have the finances to do those things, right? I would look at that and say, is that a circumstance?

Is that 100 percent true? Or not right and you may not have the finances to go to the experiences or the restaurants that you would in your like multi millionaire future self, of course But maybe there’s a step that you can take in that direction Maybe it’s just about cultivating a fun experience out with your children that doesn’t [00:31:00] cost any money Or that just costs a little something or that’s a little stretch beyond what you usually do Right Those are the kind of baby steps that you can take towards that.

You don’t have to spend the money that your future self who has multi million dollars does. Of course, that would not be smart, but it’s more about cultivating more of those experiences. So let me give you an example of this. So when I was, Okay, let me just put it this way. I’ve always wanted to travel a lot.

I love traveling. My dad was a pilot growing up. I was so lucky to be able to travel so much and I wanted to maintain that all throughout my life and go and experience the places I want to experience and really live my life to the fullest and not just stay in one place because I don’t like staying in one place.

So when I was in college, I was broke. When I say I was broke, I mean, I was really, really, really broke. I had no money. Me and none of my friends had the money, right? I was working a side job, but like having to live [00:32:00] off of, you know, a couple of hours of working retail, but I still wanted to travel. You know what I did?

Me and my friends. We didn’t say I can’t afford it. We would just decide I’m gonna make this work, right? So like We actually traveled a lot for college kids We would drive to Florida for a spring break and we would stay ten people in one hotel room Right, that was all that we could afford But I didn’t stop myself from traveling.

I still went and we would stay at a crappy hotel It wouldn’t even be on the beach, but I still cultivated the experiences that I wanted, right? I wasn’t like trying to pay for a four seasons resort by myself. I would stay at a crappy hotel We had 10 people in the room, but you know what? I was an energetic match to traveling and that’s what I wanted I knew that I wanted to be a traveler.

So I just didn’t let my income Stop me. I wasn’t like, oh, I can’t afford it. I was like, no, we’re gonna make it [00:33:00] work now. Was it super comfortable? No, but as a college kid, you kind of don’t care about those things, you know? And I, we would walk across the street to the beach and we’d be living it up, right?

And I would go to Chicago and we’d, we’d go on all kinds of fun experiences. We did all kinds of things, and I had no money. So you could ask yourself, how can I cultivate these experiences? With the budget that I have, how can I stop stopping myself out of this thought I can’t afford it or I don’t have the money for it?

So that’s where I would start.

Okay. So I have, wait, let me just, I’m going to end this cause there’s a lot more questions, but I’ll just do a part two.[00:34:00] 

Okay. So these questions were absolutely awesome. So good. I do have more, but that means I get to do a Q& A part two. I don’t want this to be too long. So I will answer the rest of your questions on another podcast episode coming up. And in the meantime, if you have questions for me, if you want coaching, if you want support around this, if you want me to help you see where you are limiting yourself.

Where your energy is getting in the way, you have to come and join my program, the Money Manifestation Movement. It is so good. It is so good. The people in there are creating amazing results and really having massive shifts. So if you want your question answered before part two, or if you just have more questions that you want to actually ask me like one on one in a coaching session, right?

In one of our group calls, Come join the [00:35:00] movement. Go to my website, jamieberman. com. Join the movement. It is so good. And

I’m gonna start that over. I’m so bad.

Okay, so I loved your questions, they are so good. And yes, I do have more questions to answer, but I am going to do a part two. How does that sound? I will do a Q& A part two that I will put out in January. So you can look forward to that. And if you have questions in the meantime, or if you want coaching, if you want me to get in and help you spot what your limiting beliefs are, where your energy is getting in the way of manifesting more money, you’ve got to join me and the money manifestation movement or come to my new year’s manifestation retreat.

It’s going to be. [00:36:00] So, so powerful you guys support is so important. It makes all the difference when you let yourself receive support, especially around the area of money. It makes a huge, huge difference in your bottom line because here’s the truth. We were not taught how to make money. I don’t know about you, but it is not something that I learned in school.

It’s not something that I learned from my parents, right? I just, like, it’s not a topic anyone ever talks about yet. We need and desire this resource called money.
