The nature of money and your attitude towards it can be complex and difficult and can affect all areas of your life. Neil shares his own ideas and beliefs about money which have allowed him to achieve success in his own field as a guitar tutor, and will also assist you in your endeavours by understanding moneys nature and its place in your life.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Money is a tool. It’s a construct for storing value and a neutral social convention. 
• Gold used to be the social equivalent of its value in gold held by the countries and institutions that press or print it. This hasn’t been the case since 1931.
• With money, skills and services that would never fit into a barter system can be given value.
• Your beliefs about money directly affect how you acquire it. Distrust of money will stunt your efforts to gather it. 
• Be aware that your attitude towards money may have been manipulated by outdated religious ideas spread to pass your money to them and has resulted in the concept of money as evil.
• If you are wealthy you then have the freedom to express your inner self unfettered by lack of funds.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Moneys not good, its not bad, its just a tool. Like a blade you can use it to harvest food or slice people up into little pieces.’

‘Because it’s not actually backed by anything, money is not worth a damn thing. It’s made up and agreed upon and that’s fine as long as everyone agrees…’

‘I’m struggling at the moment to imagine carrying enough teaching to the bakery to go and buy some bread.’

‘What I now know is that people who tell you that money isn’t important don’t have any.’

‘Don’t take money advice from poor people.’
