Twitter, Tweet, Tweeps, Personal Finance, Credit, Debt, Money Mastery , and YOU

I have joined the twitterverse.

For the uninitiated, this means I have a twitter account- it’s a mini-version of this blog.  Everyday new people “follow” me on twitter- this means they’re reading what I write there (that’s “tweeting”).  These folks are my tweeps.  I bet you’re catching on to this twitter lingo.  So now, in addition to everything I was already doing, I manage my tweets and my tweeple.  I have to keep track of who is following me and see if they tweet about anything that interests me or is useful for you.

Today, I read a tweet from one of my tweeps (OK, I’ll stop this twitter-speak) from one of his followers who has compiled this rather neat go-to list for tweets.  The length of her post was much longer than my typical posts, so I’m including just portions of it here.  You can read the rest here: http://freefrombroke.com/2009/04/50-personal-finance-investing-and-money-tweeps-worth-following.html

Got Questions about Money Issues?

Please post your questions regarding your relationship with money.  These may include your beliefs, your habits, your fears, hesitations or your history of earning, spending, saving, or investing.

I will read your posts and use them as the basis for future posts.

I look forward to hearing your concerns and questions.

Perception is Projection: Learn to see things as they really are, not as we imagine they are.”

“Learn to see things as they really are, not as we imagine they are.” – Vernon Howard

We do not see things as they are; we see things as we are. – The Talmud

Perception is Projection.  When we wake up to this fact, we can see that everything that happens is a reflection of our consciousness.  This gives us incredible power; we can actually create an internal change that will then change our reality.  We can be at Cause rather than at Effect- a proactive place to be.  Possibility is truly unlimited from this place.

Becoming More Aware of How We Talk about About Money

While it’s critical to examine one’s financial circumstances and discover how these circumstances came to be, it’s also critical to follow this process with a shift in consciousness and a shift in thinking. The shift in consciousness is a natural outcome of money coaching, however, one, myself included, needs to continually be aware of one’s thoughts and re-frame them as necessary to produce the positive feelings and excitement necessary for the law of attraction.

“Many people protest when we explain to them the power of telling the story of their finances as they want it to be rather than as it is, because they believe that they should be factual about what is happening. If you continue to look at the lack and speak of what is (lack), you will not find the improvement that you desire. If you want to effect substantial change in your life experience, you must think thoughts that feel good as you think them.” Abraham-Hicks

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.
