My top reads to up-level your money mindset (& grow your bank balance)

I love reading, have done since I was a child, when I would be hiding under the covers with my torch at night, into the small hours with my latest page turner.

Now a days I read a few pages a day, and listen, listen, listen…great way to access a good book when you have limited time.

So if you are going to add one book to your list this year to boost your money mindset to attracting money in then why not choose from this list of my faves…

51Wwfp4t3NL._SX330_BO1,204,203,200_T Harv Eker – Secrets of the Millionaire Mind

I remember being at a networking event talking about what I do, and someone said surely you’ve read T Harv Eker?  Nope I said…I’m guessing I should.  He preceded to tell me that I was pretty much on his wave length when it comes to organising money and thinking positively!  My favourite bit of the book are the 19 mindset flips to help your think “rich”.

Robert T Kiyosaki – Rich Dad Poor Dad

A classic this one on how Robert had differing advice on money from his Dad and a friends Dad.  He explains how to invest in assets to further your wealth and to create passive income rather than just rely on a pay cheque.

I like this book because it is a straightforward read, full of actionable tips.

Maria Nemeth – The Energy of Money

I picked up this book in a charity shop whilst hearing a lady telling her son he couldn’t have all the books because they didn’t have enough money.  (Read my thoughts on why I don’t agree with this statement in this blog post).

It sounds a bit woo woo the title but actually is a deep dive on the mindset with a sprinkle of practical advice.  Great book if you are in the spiritual field and find it difficult to align earning well with sharing your gifts.

51k7PlE3bLL._SX384_BO1,204,203,200_

Rhonda Byrne – The Secret

I’m sure you have probably read it but if not then the essential premise is we get what we focus on.  Learn how to think differently for your own abundance.

Moleskin Pocket Notebook

Not a book to read but for just for you to use.  I love Moleskin notebooks, they are fabulous quality and make me feel first class when I use them.  I use mine for tracking my income and value on a daily basis – it’s really important to acknowledge and give thanks for everything that comes into your life if you want more.

41mpJXwWG9LAmazon Audible

I’m also just getting into Amazon audible.  Really useful if you are short of time to actually read like me, but have time when you are doing stuff and could be listening too.  (Dead of the night feeding the little one for me!)

Let me know if there is anything else you have read that you have found inspiring – whether about money or not!  I’d love to know.

P.s You can also read my very own e-book here.

P.P.S If you click on one of the links above I may earn a small fee from Amazon, but it does not change the cost of your item at all.  I also ONLY recommend products that I have actually used and enjoyed!

Looking into the shadow to create success

shadow sun success money

 

Success can mean a lot of different things.

But ultimately one of the definitions is the bottom line.

Money.

And one of the factors influences money coming into our lives is selling,

And how we feel about selling ourselves and how we feel about receiving money.

Selling

Now I’m not talking about selling ourselves in the oldest profession in the world sort of way….

BUT how we feel about putting ourselves forward, how we feel about stepping into our value and really inviting in what we are really, really, really worth.

The trouble is we often have a lot of clutter going on our minds.

Clutter like “Am I good enough?”, “Will be like me or what I have to offer?”, “Maybe I can’t do this”…..

Let’s upgrade!

Let’s look at how to step beyond all that clutter and really own your power, let’s upgrade where we are…..

Firstly let’s look at where you are now, where we want to be, and what is stopping us getting there.

Try this exercise to get your upgrade thoughts moving….

Like cake we need a great set of ingredients to rise, to not be soggy in the middle and be an all round delicious item!

  1. What ingredients do you need to achieve the level of income you want? – Make a note of the first 3 things that come to mind.
  2. What skills, behaviours or traits do you need to become a better version of you? – Again make a note of the first 3 things that come to mind
  3. Think of a particular project or goal that you want to achieve this year.

Great BUT I bet…….

What you have written to the above are things that you have been trying to do, again and again and again?

Why is it that you are not achieving these very things that seem so logical and sensible to do?

The Shadow

When we want to achieve something, a goal such as increasing our income, we have to not only look at the positives of this but the shadow, the dark side of achieving our goal.

Let me tell you a little story first of all.

So later this year I want to launch an online course that will give all you lovely people access to me in a different way, that allows you to work as you want (click here if you want to be on the list to be the first to know when it is coming (and get sneak previews, early bird discounts and more…)

I’ve been working on this for a while but before I started doing so I spent some time visualising the outcome.

I imagined the course had been launched and it was a great success.  I really stepped into that scene and felt the joy of that success, the satisfaction of reaching my income goals, and the great feeling of helping more people than I can do currently on a 1:1 basis.

Now we are taught a lot just to focus on the positives and somehow erase the negatives – something like covering up a cowpat with icing….  It’s still gonna be a cowpat!  So we need to face these negatives head on.

So when I thought about having achieved a successful online course the negatives of that success came up for me like this:

  • Maybe the journey would have been too hard for me physically and mentally
  • What about the pressure of maintaining this new income level?
  • What if it meant I leapfrogged hubby in terms of income?
  • What if I needed to take on more staff?

By making myself aware of these “prices of success” meant I could work out what was really going on in my mindset, and make changes accordingly.

I had to asked myself – would I take the upgrade?

Sabotages

If you don’t look at the shadow there is the big chance you will be subtly sabotaging yourself not to achieve what you want.  For example, I might not prioritise my content creation, so the date of launch get’s pushed back, or I find a new project to work on that suddenly seems more important, or not promote myself fully.  All to keep me in my comfort zone, and not put me in danger of potentially getting my negative outcomes.

What is your shadow?

Let’s have a go at this exercise yourself.

Imagine you go to bed tonight and a magic wand has been waved as you sleep and when you wake your wish has been granted.

All the upgrades you wanted from the first exercise have happened.

What this has resulted in got everything you wanted in regard to you, and how you generate the level of income in your business, that one thing you really want to work, that one project you are working on.

It’s happened and it is all a success!

What can you see, feel, hear and smell?

What emotions are running through you now you have your wish?

Now list the positive feelings

Now visit the shadow and list the negative feelings.

Awareness

Excellent, you have taken to first step to releasing any blocks to upgrading your income as the first stage is raising your awareness.  This can sometimes be enough.  Alternatively, if you would like to delve a bit deeper within coaching I work with people to remove these barriers and work on actions to confidently move you to the next level.

You can find out more by booking a complimentary clarity call.  I’d love to hear from you.

Your Money Forecast for 2016

tree of life money

 

The start of a New Year can be an exhilarating time, but also one that leaves us with questions that we are searching for answers too. Will this be the year I sort my money out once and for all? Will this be the year I expand my income further than before?

I’m open minded to all the different ways that life can be viewed and understood. Whilst a lot of what I base my work on is centred in neuroscience, I think that science itself is not the explainer of all things and it is always worth seeing what might spark your thinking in other directions, to help answer these and the bigger questions that are out there.

Earlier this week I was delighted to be invited to attend an energy group. This energy group is a get together of people who work with energy in different ways. Think Reiki, crystals, and other balancing and healing work.

Money itself is energy, and money mindset work is all about learning to master and be a good conduit for that energy for yourself and others, so I always feel drawn to spend time to learn from others in energy work.

A good way to recognise the flow of money, it’s life as such, rather than that as a static object, is to hold a £10 note for example and imagine it’s journey, where it has been, who it has helped. Has this £10 brought food for the table, has it allowed someone to take a taxi to secure a business deal that created 1000’s of jobs, did it pay toward a dream holiday?

At the energy group we were introduced to life codes by the lovely Marina Duskov who is an Intuitive Lifestyle Consultant. Life codes are based in numerology and Ancient Hebrew thinking and give us a way to understand and connect to our life.

We each have our own life codes, based on our birth dates. You can…

Why we find it difficult to do it alone……(and how to use a simple brain trick to solve that)

tomorrow money

 

I’ll go to the gym tomorrow…………..the diet starts on Monday………………..I’ll start really paying attention to my money once this month is out of the way……

Sound familiar?

I don’t think there is anyone who hasn’t thought like that at some point, or eek, quite often, in their lives.

The trouble is we all have a sense of what are hopes and dreams are.  We can sense the feeling of being a stone lighter, or hitting that six figure income, or feeling we are on the right track with money and life, but somehow the actually doing eludes us.

Forming new habits, and making change is a toughy.  Our brains are wired to work by referencing back to past experiences, and behaviours.  We have carved out pathways in our brains by doing this and our brains love to use the path of least resistance.  No hacking your its way through the rainforest for your brain, it wants that wide open well trodden path thank you very much.

So how can we change?  Is it just sheer willpower? Or can we harness something else to help us on our way?

Make your dreams come true – How to remove the one simple block that is holding you back

dreams-doing-money-mindset

My good friend, Mr H, is a dreamer.  I love him dearly for it…. The mansion house, the impeccable garden, the multiple holidays in the sun……..they will be wonderful.  I love listening to these dreams, and adding my own extra layers of detail.  I think dreams are important you see, and should be indulged, embellished, and made more and more detailed.  Right down to the Hendricks Gin and Fever Tree Tonic, with ever so fresh cucumber, in a crystal tumbler feeling reassuring heavy in my hand, the ice chinking at the side, served to be me by my own personal butler wearing….(CUT, CUT It’s getting  X RATED here!)

The difference between me and Mr H though is in the approach to DOING the dream…..
