Specialized Knowledge, Abundance, and Pennco Tech

Books have knowledge...Flickr Photo by Zitona


You’ve probably heard that saying, “Knowledge is Power”. Well, I like to think that knowledge is abundance. The more knowledgeable you are about a particular subject or line of work, the more opportunities you have to attract money.

If you live in the Bristol, Pennsylvania or Blackwood, New Jersey area and looking to gain specialized knowledge in the technology or health care field, you may want to check out Pennco Tech. Going through a school like Pennco Tech for knowledge and training helps you focus on one particular subject whereas if you were to go to a four-year university, you would have to take general education classes first. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but I’m one of those people who went to a regular university and don’t remember half of what I learned in those general ed classes including that dreaded Periodic Table of Elements I had to memorize for Chemistry!

From an early age my parents instilled in me the idea that getting an education was important. I was already naturally curious and read alot anyways. From encyclopedias to just about every book written by Beverly Cleary - I soaked it all up. I even vaguely remember teaching myself how to count to ten in both Chinese and Japanese (thanks to The Children’s Encyclopedia).

In the book, Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill talks about the two different types of knowledge, which is general knowledge and specialized knowledge. He says that it’s this specialized knowledge that will help you accumulate riches. This knowledge is different from general knowledge because it is organized and applied properly into a plan.

I would consider myself to have specialized knowledge in a few subjects including blogging and making jewelry. I’ve spent many years learning these subjects and created a plan to make money from this knowledge.

So, what type of specialized knowledge do you have or would like to have? Are you applying that knowledge to manifest abundance?

If you’re unsure of what knowledge you’d like to specialize in, start with something that interests you. It could be anything... What is it that brings you joy? What gets you excited? Focus on that feeling and soon you’ll begin to attract the information and resources you need to get started!

Goals and Releasing Resistance

Necklace in ProgressFor me, writing is an enjoyable activity, and I've done quite a bit of it these past five years. I've authored at least 20+ blogs and have manifested a successful business with my writing.

However, I feel the creative energy drawing me back to another passion of mine which is making jewelry. It used to be a channel of income for me before I got into writing and blogging. Because I was so focused on making money with my jewelry, I forgot why I was doing it in the first place. Eventually I got burnt out and lost that creative energy.

This morning I had an awesome EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) session with Stephanie Tran who helped me uncover some of the limiting beliefs I have about relaunching my jewelry business. I realized that I do have some fears about being successful, including a fear that I will lose some of my freedom and time spent with loved ones.

I have a big goal with this jewelry business, which is a little daunting. I keep thinking about the money and energy that is required to build this business. I sometimes feel that I have to do all the work even though I know that The Universe will help me manage it. I still have that control freak in me from when I was a store manager for a retail store.

Stephanie reminded me to focus on putting my energy into just making jewelry and feeling relaxed and happy, which is what I really want. Jewelry making is a form of meditation and I want to just be in that zone of pure bliss.

So, during my EFT session with Stephanie, I tapped all those limiting beliefs and fears away. I began to realize how focused I was on that big goal instead of Being in the Now and just having fun.

My message for you today is to just let go!  Let go of those fears and limiting beliefs that keep you stuck and stop you from going after your dreams.  However, at the same time, don't be so focused on those big goals that you forget why you're doing it in the first place.  Just enjoy what you're doing and everything else will fall into place.

Of course, The Universe also reminded me of this. While I was on YouTube tonight, I came across this video of Abraham-Hicks talking about relaxing your goals and letting go of resistance:
