"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” Mark Twain

Do you have the time to achieve and experience all that life has to offer. Or will you spend your final moments wishing you did things differently?

As David Henry Thoreau so famously observed, “The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.”

And to quote another of my favourite writers, Wayne Dyer, “Don't die with your music still inside you. Listen to your intuitive inner voice and find what passion stirs your soul”.

By getting our financial house in order we can free up more of our time to focus on the things which matter most. Rather than submitting to 40 plus years of the 9-5 grind in a job which leaves you unfulfilled, what would you do if money didn’t matter?

If you would like some help turning your financial life around, I am shortly opening up my financial liberation mentoring programme.

Over 6 weeks you will get to address your money mindset, increase your awareness, build systems, fix your credit score, deal with debt and create investments which lay the foundations for your brighter financial future.

Research has shown that our thoughts and beliefs around money are largely formed before the age of 7. These beliefs collectively form our money blueprint or financial thermostat.

As author T. Harv Eker puts it: Your financial blueprint consists of a combination of thoughts, feelings and actions in the arena of money. It consists primarily on the information or “programming” you received in the past, and especially as a young child.

In this episode we discuss the 3 principal causes of money beliefs imprinted as children and how these play out in our finances as adults.

Plus 4 ways to rid yourself of negative money beliefs and start towards a brighter financial future.

In addition, there is a growing body of evidence that an attitude of gratitude can also have a positive effect on our health, wellbeing and bank balance.
