How To Fund Your Dreams
Julie Murphy • July 15, 2021
I’ve talked a lot about what it means and how it feels to be a dreamer. Sure, there is some negative connotation with constantly having new ideas about what you want. But as I’ve said before, no dream is idle. You are one of the lucky ones. You have both the energy, the openness and the creativity to allow dreams to manifest within you. That’s why I want to discuss the money behind the idea.
As much as money affords opportunity, I believe that you can turn the money you have right now and get started creating your own opportunity. Dreaming and pursuing those dreams shouldn’t be reserved just for the wealthy. You’re not rich? That’s okay. I wasn’t either when I decided to open my own financial business. You just need to be practical and smart with where you invest your time and how you save, spend and invest your money.
Find the root of your dream
Think back to your childhood and teenaged years, and think about the things you did with no prodding from mom and dad. Like the dance classes you couldn’t miss or the instrument you played all through middle school, high school and college. As we get older, we look back on the things we did in the past as child’s play. Maybe, however, they’re more than that. Your dreams now may be rooted in the hobbies you had when you were younger; the key is to look for what used to make you giggle.
Take some time to explore where those big ideas are coming from. I’m not saying to put those ballet toe shoes back on, but there are many ways you can get involved with that industry and be around what you love daily. Be open-minded and follow your pursuits to wherever they may take you, then watch as your personal judgement begin to rise. Let it come up, then release it. This allows you to move forward and not repeat the patterns that have kept you stuck for years.
Seek out as much financially stability as possible — or don’t!
No matter how small and seemingly insignificant, taking a risk is pretty scary. Pursuing your dream – even if it’s as “safe” as can be – can be incredibly intimidating. You know what you want to happen, but you have no idea if chaos will ensue along the way to success. Trust that when you follow your personal intuition, all will fall into perfect alignment.
Being financially stable while making these types of moves is rubbish. Clear up your past, while living in your current reality today and create that dream for your future, simultaneously.
You know the saying “You’re never going to be financially ready to have a child. Just do it and it’ll all work out.” Well, your dreams are the same. If you keep getting ready to have enough savings before you move forward, you’ll never do it. There’s no time like the present.
Automate your bills and other accounts whenever possible
And the best way to make sure your past and present stay in line? Automation. Technology today makes it possible to stay on top of our finances with very little manual upkeep. Spread out all your monthly bills and income – this is a great exercise on its own – and research your payment options. Most banks will allow you to transfer money directly from your check to the necessary source.
Taking responsibly of your dreams also means doing the same with your financials. Create a situation that both allows you to build wealth while also building your dreams. You already know what excites you. Now, take action. Start with something small like $10 a month into your “dream bucket” and watch the shift begin. Happy living!

What if nothing is wrong with your life? What if the frustration you feel... The anxiety around money... The constant striving... The feeling that something is missing... Isn't a sign that you're failing. What if it's simply your soul trying to wake you up? So many of us spend our lives searching for the next thing we believe will finally make us feel whole. More money. A different relationship. A better job. A healthier body. Another vacation. Another achievement. Another finish line. Yet somehow, after every accomplishment, that feeling quietly returns. "There has to be more than this." And there is. Not because your life is lacking. Because you've been taught to look for fulfillment in places it was never meant to come from. One of the greatest lessons I've learned is that life is always working for us, even when it doesn't feel like it. Every challenge... Every financial struggle... Every relationship... Every fear... Every success... They're all invitations. Not punishments. Invitations to become more aware. Because awareness changes everything. You can't transform a belief you don't know you're carrying. You can't heal a wound you refuse to acknowledge. You can't create a different future while living from yesterday's programming. This is why I don't believe true wealth begins with your bank account. It begins with your awareness. Money simply magnifies the relationship you already have with yourself. If you believe you're not enough... No amount of money will ever feel like enough. If you don't trust yourself... It won't matter how much financial security you create. You'll still feel uncertain. Real wealth isn't something we earn. It's something we uncover. It's been within us all along, buried beneath years of conditioning, fear, expectations, and stories that were never ours to begin with. When we begin clearing away those layers, something beautiful happens. We stop chasing. We start creating. We stop reacting. We begin choosing. We stop living from fear. We begin living from love. That's where abundance begins. Not outside of you. Inside of you. That's why I created the 21-Day Wake Up Wealth Challenge . Not to teach you how to make more money. Not to convince you that positive thinking changes everything. But to give you space. Space to slow down. Space to become aware. Space to notice the patterns you've been living from without even realizing it. Over the course of 21 days, you'll begin seeing yourself differently. You'll explore the beliefs shaping your financial life. You'll reconnect with your intuition. You'll learn how your emotions influence your decisions. Most importantly... You'll begin remembering that you already have everything within you to create a life that feels aligned, peaceful, and abundant. The challenge isn't about becoming someone new. It's about coming home to who you've always been. If your heart has been whispering that it's time for something different... Listen. It may be the beginning of everything. I'd love to walk this journey with you. Because your greatest investment has never been in the stock market. It's always been in yourself. And when you awaken that relationship... Everything else begins to change. With Love, Julie P.S. Sometimes the biggest transformation doesn't happen because life changes around us. It happens because we finally become aware of the life we've been creating, and realize we have the power to create something new. If you're ready, I'd love to have you join us for the 21-Day Wake Up Wealth Challenge.
Real financial freedom isn't about accumulating more. It's about creating choice.
Many people believe abundance is something they need to create outside of themselves.

Your ability to create wealth has far less to do with numbers… and far more to do with what’s happening inside of you.
