What you believe about money, income, debt, abundance, your potential,….. is RIGHT.

What you believe about money, income, debt, abundance, your potential,….. is RIGHT.

There’s an old adage that says, “Whether you believe you can or you believe you can’t, you’re right.” We convince ourselves of our futures before we take the actions that make them real. This is not news to the golfer who visualizes the ball dropping into the cup before the swing, or the artist who sees the completed painting before lifting a brush.

This is also the underlying feature of everything from Positive Psychology to “The Secret,” and the Law of Attraction, and it works on us every day. When we convince ourselves that everything is happening to us, and we’re nothing but a thistle-seed on the breeze of life, that becomes our experience. Our experience and our belief becomes reinforced as we prepare ourselves for that future, expect that future, and yes, take precisely the action steps that will lead to that future.

If everyone says “we’re in a recession,” we will make it so. If we constantly say the economy is bad, we will make it so. I’m not saying that we should ignore reality by any means, but that we look beyond the hand that we’re dealt, to the game we’re in. Playing a lousy hand well will take you further than playing a great hand badly. If we decide to make reality work, we can make reality work.

It is very difficult to observe the world around us, interpret from a defeatist position, and then promote a successful, winning perspective. The change has to start at the very beginning of this process. If we want to improve our situations, we need to do this from a position where we have power and control. To say “I can’t do xyz because the economy is bad,” is a total surrender to powerlessness. Turning this around starts with language shifts completely within our power.


First, the economy isn’t “bad.” The economy is going through corrections, adjustments, upheaval, or any of the other thousand descriptions that don’t include a value judgment definition. Einstein said it is necessary to apply different thinking to solve the problems than the thinking that created the situation. Now you think, “how am I going to get past this?” We move from victim to problem solver just by shifting our internal dialogue. First we catch ourselves, then we interrupt the pattern, then we replace the victim language with the problem solver language. Difficult at first, but easier and easier with practice until you no longer even have to think about it. Success, now, is going to be about better problem solving, more creativity, more innovation.

This recession is a great opportunity for transformation, pursuing your life purpose, and shifting your relationship with money

This recession is a great opportunity for transformation, pursuing your life purpose, and shifting your relationship with money

Many people are highly stressed by current circumstances. Others are rolling with the circumstances and using the inherent opportunity to re-craft their life to their specifications and values, to make their life and their work congruent with their values, to move toward having more fulfillment, more freedom, more satisfaction, and perhaps more income as well. They see this as an opportunity to launch their dreams. They may feel they have little to lose at this point so why not go for it.

I’m reminded of a news story I read in the mid-1990s when a lot of middle-level managers were losing their jobs. The article interviewed a number of these out-of-work people. Some of them were very stressed, worrying about making ends meet. Some of them, however, were very happy and seemed to exhibit no stress at all.
People in this latter group experienced being fired or laid off as an opportunity to do something they had always wanted to do and had never done because they were “stuck” in their jobs. They either created one-person consulting firms, opened some type of retail store, or went back to school and changed professions entirely.
If losing your job means you will never find another way to make money, you will be very stressed. If losing your job means you can now do something even more nurturing, self-expressive and satisfying, you will be excited about the same event.  If you see it as an opportunity to pursue your life purpose and shift your relationship with money, you may be thrilled (even while being a bit nervous).
You see, events don’t have any inherent meaning. Circumstances don’t mean anything until you give them a meaning … and one meaning can be stressful while another might be enlivening. Stress is caused by the meaning we give to events-which in turn comes from our negative beliefs and feelings about ourselves, our relationship with money, people, and the world we live in.

What do you choose? What is your dream? What do you have to lose? Are you willing to risk it? If so, what’s the first step? Take that first step. The rest will follow.

Money, Income, Life Purpose and the Chakras – Part 2

Money, Income, Life Purpose and the Chakras – Part 2

In the last post, I talked about needing to work through the issues of the first 3 chakras in order to gain autonomy, individuation, an internal sense of security, to connect with others, have relationships, offer your creativity and receive material rewards for it. All of that must happen in order to gain clarity about your desire and your purpose.

The chakra system is the spiritual link between purpose and profit. You’ll conquer your issues and your obstacles, make decisions, offer your gifts, take responsibility to get your gifts to as many people as possible.

The 4th chakra is about following your bliss- this will lead you to your purpose. Do what you love and combine it with a sound business plan. Passion + Purpose + Plan = Profit. Having done the work on issues around the first 3 chakras, you can really get behind yourself, be effective, balanced and creative and do the work you love while getting paid for it.

The 5th chakra is about knowing your core message and getting it out to a wide audience. The money is in your message so get it out as widely as possible. Many entrepreneurs’ success is hampered by their aversion or resistance to marketing. When it’s the message linked to your purpose, it becomes sharing and offering rather than marketing or selling.

The 6th chakra is about the decision-making and evolution-causing part of the brain. The transformational power of decisions leads to unstoppable wealth. Make the decision to be hugely successful, wealthy, philanthropic, or all 3. Pareto’s Principle applies here too: 80% of decisions are made in the moment. 20% require deliberation or research.

The 7th chakra connects you with the divine. When you get yourself aligned with this energy, you become a channel for energy and it bypasses the ego! How cool is that?! I LOVE this. Get connected; stay connected. Life and work are soooo much easier this way; more fun too. Helpful hint: stop multi-tasking; it interferes with this connection. Inspiration = spirit comes in.

Our souls have a non-negotiable desire for life purpose. Your auric field holds your life purpose. Success is an inside job; BE the person you are meant to be. Now is a good time to begin. How well you’re doing with each of the chakras determines how bright your energy is and how immediate your manifesting will be. We emit a very clear frequency when we clear out the baggage; then people and opportunities are attracted to us. Re-write your story, dump the heavy baggage, cultivate bright new energy. Theta, NLP, Coaching and Hypnosis are great tools for this. I know this because I use them on myself- not just on my clients.  I am living proof.  When you are BEING your purpose, everything will happen! Since I made the simultaneous decisions to BE my purpose,  invest myself 100% in my coaching/training business and to end my unfulfilling romantic relationship, there has been a confluence of grace, resources, and opportunities that exceeded my hopes and expectations!  Everything is happening!

Money, Income, Life Purpose and the Chakras

Money, Income, Life Purpose and the Chakras

Does this sound like a question from one of those tests where you pick the one item that does not go with all the others? Well, it’s not. These things all have a very strong relationship to each other.

If you’ve been reading my blog, you’re familiar with how life purpose relates to money and income. If you haven’t, I’ll wait while you read the 5 part series on The Secret to Increasing Your Income More Easily and Enjoying Yourself in the Process. In addition to what’s stated in that series, the chakras (7 energy centers in the body) all need to be spinning optimally to have no limit to your potential income.

Interestingly, each chakra corresponds to issues that affect your bank balance and your potential income. As I always say, when you handlle your money issues (this includes issues around work, income, debt, saving, investing, and purpose), your relationship with money transforms and your entire life transforms as well!

Here’s a quick run through:

• 1st chakra: has to do with your tribe or family, their mentality, beliefs, and patterns; security and survival, and connection. Our income reflects the degree to which we play it safe versus rocking the boat wrt our tribe/family. TIP: create your own tribe that resonates who you truly are and allows you to transform rather than conform.
• 2nd chakra: has to do with relationships with self, with others, with creativity. Your comfort level with each of those 3 relationships directly affects your income. Your ability to receive income is proportional to your capacity to put your creativity out in the world. If apathy or procrastination is part of your experience, there’s some work to do around releasing your creativity and offering it to the world and getting paid for it. Passion pays!
• 3rd chakra: has to do with strength, stamina, fortitude, courage, individuating, the I AM, staying true to your boundaries, standards and purpose. Your self-care (diet, sleep, exercise, relaxation, quietude, reflection, recreation, and fun) is reflected in your bank balance. Now, are we all motivated to take better care of ourselves? It’s essential to claim your inner power and put yourself FIRST! No, it’s not selfish; it’s the most generous thing you can do since it allows you to give more.

In order to gain clarity about your desire and your purpose, it’s necessary to work through all issues pertaining to the first 3 chakras. You must acquire autonomy from your family, heal any wounds resulting from said family, and move on. Create new tribe that supports your true self and it’s purpose. Connect with with your creativity and exchange it for money. Relate to others, develop good boundaries in your personal and professional interactions, have good relationships.

Stay tuned for Part 2.

THE SECRET TO INCREASING YOUR INCOME MORE EASILY, Part 4

THE SECRET TO INCREASING YOUR INCOME MORE EASILY, Part 4

Face your fears
They are there to make your stronger, more agile and a better player. They show up as information to guide you to a place that in an untapped well of energy. Once you master this, nothing can stop you. Nothing. No challenge that shows up will daunt you. It is one of the keys to successful leadership and self-mastery.
Your relationship with money is as real as any relationship. So think about it. When you are being yourself, loving yourself, proud of yourself, you attract a real sustainable, sensational relationship. If you are out there ‘fishing’, being what you think will attract another, being desperate and doing whatever it takes, what usually happens to the relationship when the real you comes to the surface? Or what do you have to do to keep the relationship you attracted when you were out of integrity with yourself? And how exhausting and distracting is that?

It is the same thing in business and goes back to the point about knowing who you really are. And THIS is what you market. Look at all the great companies you know or love-there is an identifiable person who most people really respect that draws the client or the customer.

This is the truest power there is. Once you have rediscovered the place you came from, your vulnerability, nothing can ever take your power again. Look at a child-could hey be more vulnerable? And are not most children fearless? When you can be comfortable in being vulnerable you will have discovered your greatest source of strength. It is counterintuitive but it is real. You must have this tool in your tool belt for you to build your dreams.

Money Coaching?!

People often ask what a Money Coach is and is it the same as a financial advisor- actually, it’s not at all like a financial advisor. Money Coaching combines both practical financial guidance with sound psychological principles and universal spiritual beliefs to help transform your relationship with money and lead a more purposeful and prosperous life.

Through a step-by-step process, Money Coaching will guide you to a deeper understanding of unconscious beliefs and patterns that create stress, anxiety and fear and prevent you from having the life you desire.
A Money Coach gives you an opportunity to explore your unconscious patterns, beliefs, and behaviors around money. As these become conscious, one can transform their relationship to money and exercise conscious choice about anything and everything having to do with money. What would your life be like if money were not an issue?

Close your eyes for a minute <kinda tricky to read this and follow along with your eyes closed. hmmn, must add audio to this blog>, now take a deep breath and let it out slowly and imagine your life AFTER you’ve completely transformed your relationship to money. What does it look like? How does it FEEL? What’s different? Do you have work that you love that pays you what you believe you’re worth? Does your work relate to or fulfill your purpose in life? Are you debt-free? Are you managing your income such that you’re saving for things that are important to you and your future? Investing? Do you feel competent and confidant with regard to money, income, finances, spending, saving, and investing?

Money Coaching begins with a set of 4 sessions with an assignment to complete in between the sessions. This is the Core Money Coaching and is the same 4 sessions and same assignments for every client (their experience and personal discoveries will vary of course, but the format is the same). Many clients are so thrilled with the process and results that they continue on after the core work. The sessions then are customized around that clients needs and interests and leads them to the freedom to fulfill their purpose and to live the life they choose for themselves.

My aim is to serve people (who are spiritually oriented toward self-actualization as well as serving humanity, nature, and the divine in significant ways) by supporting and guiding them to continually increase their awareness, transform their consciousness, and expand their capacity and intention to clear the way to their self-actualization, fulfilling their purpose, and living balanced joyful lives. My aim is to coach these people to live and work with ease, flow, delight, abundance, and success and to leave behind a new legacy for freedom and fulfillment.

In addition to being Certified as a Money Coach, I am also Certified as a Results Coach, an NLP Master Practitioner and Trainer, and Ericksonian Hypnotherapist. I weave quantum tools for accelerated change into my coaching work. The work is very graceful yet quite powerful and effective. A highly motivated person can transform their beliefs and create new habits quite quickly. The NLP and Hypnotherapy facilitate the rapid creation of new neural pathways for new beliefs and behaviors.
