If you want your business to make money, then you must educate yourself about who you are with money.

As a money relationship mentor and financial counselor, people initially come to see me because they are experiencing some kind of anxiety around money. They quickly come to see, however, that money issues are never about money but directly linked to your own beliefs and actions around it.

Money fog or vagueness indicates an internal confusion.

That means that you must learn to understand the emotional triggers that cause you to take certain actions with money, good and not so good.

Without this knowledge, you can not run a business that supports you which means you will not be of any service to anyone because you will eventually be out of business.

You are your client. You want clients who can afford to pay you well. There is a direct correlation between the amount of money you are willing to invest in yourself for self care and education including seminars, coaches, conferences, books, networking events, and assistance, to the amount of money you can command from potential clients. It makes sense that once you have spent $2,000 on a seminar, you can then confidently turn around and charge the same. Afterall, it is how much you invested in yourself. To expect someone to hire you at a rate that you have not happily paid yourself is unrealistic. Why? Because your own resistance will be conveyed through your marketing, if not in an obvious way, then subliminally. As far as areas of development in terms of your money relationship and the growth of your business is concerned, it is all about clarity, clarity, clarity; knowing exactly how much is going in and out of your accounts, setting up all your accounts in a way that money flows seamlessly in and out of your accounts, getting rid of clutter, getting clear on WHY you want to make the amount you want to make. What is that money going to buy you? It is never the things, but the feelings that go with the things. Money to pay for your child’s education, a house on the ocean, enough money to retire on; these “things” buy certain feelings. And so we come back full circle to your emotions around money as it is always emotions that ultimately drive actions.

You will never get more money than you are able to handle so you must handle the money you do have, well. When you harness your mind and emotions around money, you can not help but experience financial success.

So step one is to understand what your beliefs around money are. Start with your mother, father, guardian and authoritarian figures in your life, growing up. Most people were never taught about the laws of money, but learned through osmosis by watching how Mom and Dad handled their money. Listening to what they said about it, sensing what they felt about wealthy people,
experiencing the level of pleasure they got from spending and saving money and how responsibly they handled it, all played in to your beliefs, growing up.  Their influence on your current financial picture might surprise you.

So remember, money is merely an external creation of what is happening inside yourself which is great news because it means that you are in absolute control of your financial destiny.

To your successful money relationship!
