I think it is safe to say that most people harbour unresolved money issues. These unresolved feelings and experiences create patterns of behaviour that are often self-limiting and self-defeating. Looking at how these experiences affect your financial decision making can prove to be one of the best steps you can take toward improving your relationship with money. My Money Mindset Course can help you explore your true feelings about money by providing a framework for uncovering your unconscious motivations and behaviours related to money.
In my work, I have discovered eight basic archetypes or patterns that describe how people react to and handle money. By understanding your type, you will discover the reasons behind the conflicts or issues you have with money and take your first step toward reaching your personal financial goals. Once you discover your type, you can use the Money Magic processes to transform yourself into a money Magician, which is the eighth money type, the one we all want to be.
Many people create extensive financial plans, but continue to make the same mistakes or fail to implement their plan. Those clients who are willing to explore their inner relationship with money are much more likely to reach their financial goals. They have an easier time making financial decisions and are more successful at manifesting money and realizing their dreams. Clearly, there is a direct connection between having a healthier, more conscious relationship with money and creating prosperity.
It takes time and patience to learn to become a money Magician. The first step is to examine why you want to be a money Magician. Over the years, I’ve observed eight basic ways in which people relate to money. The eight money types are repeated patterns of behaviour that reside in the unconscious. By discovering and evaluating your particular money type, you can begin a different kind of financial education, one that is specific to you. Money therapy provides the framework to explore your personal money behaviour in the context of your unique background, beliefs, and experience. Doing this work will prepare you to realize your long-term goals.
