Money with Alpha

Much of Money Mindset work is based around thoughts, affirmations belief systems and habits. It's very much about psychology. In this week's episode, I want to elevate this conversation into the practical - how does our mindset around money impact us in our daily lives?

There are 5 elements that I go through in this episode.

This was recorded as part of my annual webinar series, so if you want to watch the replay and see what I'm talking about, then you can watch in either of these locations:

Finding purpose in life is something many of us are seeking, and it's a journey. Something I've learned on my journey, is that this also applies to money.

If your money doesn't have some kind of purpose, it too easily disappears, making it more difficult and frustrating to get where you want to go (assuming you know where you're going).

Here are the key elements of giving your money a purpose:

1. Be Intentional
2. Get clear
3. Take focused action
4. Be consistent with this action
5. Stay disciplined.

Have a listed to some of the hard lessons I've learned along the way and why I feel this is so powerful!

Managing money is not something many of us are explicity taught how to do. We learn by observing what our parents do, what others do, and what society says we "should" do. We might get some direction instruction if we're lucky enough to have parents or people around us who are able to manage money well, and then teach us in a way that we understand.

For me, it was completely random, until I started on my own learning journey.

Following 10+ years of learning and experience, plus working with clients to help them manage their money better, here are what I believe are the 5 basics/fundamentals for money management (in order):

1. Desire & Mindset - you need to want to learn how to manage your money better, and then have belief systems to support that (or at least be working on your money stories and beliefs to allow you to do something about your desire);
2. Visibility - being able to see your money and know where your accounts are, what is going in and what is going out;
3. Divide and Conquer - separately out your bank accounts - business and personal and then sub-accounts under each, to manage where your money needs to go;
4. Every "dollar" has a purpose - regardless of what currency you are working with, each "dollar" needs to belong somewhere and have a purpose. If not, money will be spent on things you can't even name;
5. Decide, Implement and stay Consistent - all of this is just theory unless you DO something. Take action. Decide what action, take the steps to implement it (i.e. set up your sub-accounts) and then consistently manage your money. Consistency can be your best friend when it comes to money.

Let me know if you have any questions!

As children we learn through stories. Swashbuckling characters, heros, villains, obstacles overcome, and mysteries solved. They are etched in our minds and form the basis of how we learn and how we share what we have learned and how we feel.

For instance, I love puzzles and solving problems. My first "literary love" was Agatha Christie. To this day I still love reading her books and watching the TV and movie adaptations of her work.

I also love Jane Austen and the portrayal of women in those days and how they graciously overcame the societal limitations of their circumstances.

How money forms within our minds works much the same way. We see, hear and experience things that money impacts as we grow and develop, and these leave markers in our mind. Often these markers are holding us back.

Here are just a few of those I go through in this episode:

• Stereotypes (especially gender and culture)
• Imposter syndrome (or feels of inadequacy or unworthiness)
• Conditioning
• Fear
• Negativity Bias.

I also go through ways to combat these and how to rewrite your stories.

What are Money Beliefs? How are they formed? How can they be changed? What impact do they have on your relationship with money and how you then manage money?

This is what I talk about in this episode, which is a recording from a Webinar that I delivered.

Here is a link to the Money Essentials for Business Owners program that I refer to:

Nearly everything in our life stems from how we see and process it in our minds. Money especially.

In this episode I delve into 5 mental elements to manifest and experience financial abundance:

1. Getting a good night's sleep
2. Eating good, nourishing food and drinking enough water
3. Awareness (of the patterns in our live and the lives of those closely related to us)
4. Meditation and/or mentally quiet time (with literal quiet around you)
5. Time discipline to make sure the important things happen.

Money Mindset is something that I cover in my program "Money Essentials for Business Owners", which as of today (15 July), is open for enrolments - Money Essentials for Business Owners - Learn Money Management Live (money-madesimple.com.au)

Money is a topic that is always on everyone's minds, and particularly these days. So much is written in the media about the economic situation, and we see it daily in all our bills.

To help with this, I have turned what I do one-on-one with clients into a live group online program called "Money Essentials for Business Owners".

The program is officially launching on Monday 15 July, and I'm very excited about it.

I really think this will help business owners with their Money Mindset and setting up Money Systems to manage their money in a way that you can feel more calm and less stressed and overwhelmed about money, so you can ENJOY life!

In this episode I talk about what the program is, why I created and how it works, AND what it will give you.

Health is the most important thing in your life. Without health, everything else becomes harder and we can't enjoy life. Having money gives us greater choices when it comes to how we live and manage our health, so these two topics really go hand in hand.
