If money is not easily and abundantly flowing into your business and life, then you have a money-leaks problem on your hands. If money leaves you as quickly as it comes in, then this is a manifestation of the same problem. The good news is, once you strengthen your money boundaries, you will attract and keep more money. Are you ready? Good! For each statement below, rate yourself using a scale of 1 to 5, where 1 is not at all, 5 is absolutely, and “NA” is not applicable.

1. I am discounting my services.
2. I am giving away far too much for too little of a price point.
3. I am letting clients slide on making their payments.
4. I am offering full payment options that are not enticing enough to motivate clients to pay in full.
5. I am late in paying my suppliers or vendors.
6. I am late in invoicing my clients.
7. I am canceling out of programs because I am thinking: “I do not currently have the money”.
8. I am canceling out of networking events too late and for this reason having to pay a no-show fee.
9. I am not supplying and asking my clients to sign a written agreement before I start working with them.
10. I am not speaking with my clients if and when there is a problem with their payment, no matter how big or small it may be.

What the above statements relating to business boundaries have in common is they all say this: “I am not worth charging more or worth keeping what I make”. So, do not let these money leaks sneak up on you, okay! In fact, patching up these money leaks now, along with implementing marketing strategies that are aligned with your life purpose and who you are mean to serve (i.e. your niche), will pay off in the short and long run: both on a practical and energetic level, respectively, by: (1) immediately bringing you more cash; and (2) creating a powerful, authentic energetic alignment with money – with clear, strong money boundaries – that will result in you more easily and naturally attracting more of this “good stuff” into your business and personal life.

Patch Money Leaks: 4 Step Formula

Step 1- Write down the statements that you rated a 3, 4 or 5, and decide which one you want and are willing to address from today until one month from now.
Step 2- Share your intention with your business coach, partner, or a close colleague, and ask them to be your accountability partner.
Step 3- Write down what the (a) worst thing and (b) best thing that you happen from patching up this particular money leak.
Step 4- Fully and actively commit to resolving this problem.

Weight is one of the most important issues to consider when building a fast car for road or track.
Putting a car on a serious diet is pretty much free horsepower, as any attempt to lighten a car improves the power to weight ratio, this seriously improves acceleration.

The gains on a lightening a car are huge and not just limited to gains in acceleration either. Once you have lightened a fast car you will find the car performs better in the corners and under braking, parts such as brakes and tires will last longer on the car also.

The potential gains are huge but it must be done correctly, you would not want to lighten a rear wheel drive car too much on the rear or you may find traction a problem particularly with a high power output.

The truth is your fast car could be made a great deal faster cheaply and easily just by shaving a few pounds off the body.

How do we remove weight from the fast car?

This bit is as easy as you want it to be, but as with most forms of car modification it depends on how far you want to go. I know a guy who races a BMW and he decided to go all out on weight saving, he even scraped every bit of under-seal from the floors of the car, extreme perhaps but he managed to remove nearly 2 stone of under-seal, not a bad effort.

The obvious place to start saving weight on your fast car is by removing the interior, and anything else that you do not need, the front seats can be replaced with light weight racing items, the unused wiring removed, carpets and sound deadening, pretty much all of the unnecessary parts, my car has just a driver seat and a cage with much of the unnecessary wiring removed. This makes for a car with very impressive performance.

Many other components can be replaced with lighter parts, gear box casings, axle covers etc. It is worth noting that a stainless steel exhaust is lighter than the same in mild steel, so this constitutes a worthwhile investment.

It is also important to reduce the unsprung weight on the car also, by this I mean wheels, brakes and anything else before the suspension mounts, this provides a very good increase in the handling of the car.
