Before I became a therapist, I used to work in financial planning. To tell you the truth, when I decided to leave the corporate world and retrain, I never wanted to be involved with finance again.
I was pleased to leave behind talk of investments, pensions and savings. I wanted to focus on personal development and helping people.
Naively I didn’t realise that I would actually have to devote much of my time and energy to running and building a business in order to help as many people as I wanted.
I tried to put my fingers in my ears and ignore all the money stuff because I wanted to be spiritual.
I associated money and wealth with my old, corporate life. I saw it as somehow ‘bad’ and ‘seedy’.
No wonder I struggled to bring money into my business and my life! I was sending a strong message to myself and the universe that I wasn’t interested in finance, it wasn’t part of my ‘new’ life.
So, I got frustrated that my business wasn’t taking off in the way I wanted. I lived in a cycle of famine and feast (with much more famine than feast!)
What I didn’t realise is that the same sort of unconscious blocks and limiting beliefs I was helping my clients to move past, were preventing me from building my dream business. My inner world, my thoughts and feelings, was limiting the income I was receiving.
I wonder if you’ve given much thought to how your inner world – your emotions, your self-worth, your self-belief – influence your cash-flow?
This was a big ‘No!’ for me up until a few years ago and as so often, we teach what we need to learn. It’s only when I started to specifically focus the powerful tools I’d been using with my clients on my own financial situation that I began to see results.
- Whereas I was struggling at times before, I started to attract clients with ease.
- Where I’d always felt like there wasn’t enough money left at the end of the month, I now felt in control and was actually growing my savings.
- Where I had felt anxiety and panic, I started to feel calm and excited.
And do you know what? Gradually I began to fall back in love with finance. I began to see that money wasn’t just about figures and spreadsheets, bank accounts and investment returns. I began to see that wealth was a truly holistic concept.
By looking after myself, by honouring my emotions, by clearing any limiting beliefs I had and by having more joy in my life, I could influence the amount of money I was receiving. How empowering is that?
When I (finally!) recognised that I had the power to increase my wealth, I saw that I could combine the powerful inner work that I do with the more practical money management techniques I’d learned in my previous, corporate life. I realised that I had the perfect combination at my finger tips!
So, this has now become the work that I love, blending money mindset mentoring with simple, financial tools and tips.
I want to share the secrets I have learned with you! I don’t want you to have to take the long route to financial flow, struggling with obstacles and feeling stuck and restricted.
Let me show you the short-cuts. Let me show you how to love your life and your bank balance.
