First of all, this book is very different from other ‘make more money’ books because it deals with your ‘money mindset’ and your beliefs and internal ‘story’ about money.
Yes, you read that right – story.
Everyone Has A ‘Money Story’ – Whether They’re Aware Of It Or Not!
A money story is the story you tell yourself that subconsciously affects the way you handle money... and which impacts everything else you do in your life.
Its origins can be found in how you experienced money (or a lack of it) as you were growing up...
For example, you might remember that money was always tight when you were a child...
You may remember struggling very badly as a family, or seeing your parents depressed and in difficulty because of a lack of money.
The point is, we all have money stories.
Some are heart breaking, hard, tragic and filled with stress while others are happy and balanced.
These stories affect our daily lives and impacts how much wealth we attract and keep.
For example, have you ever gotten a raise which should have changed your end of month struggles... but it didn’t?
Or refinanced your house to lower your payment with the intention of putting money aside to buy a new a car in cash... but you didn’t have anything left over?
Maybe you received a big sum of money and can’t figure out where it all went...
It’s like it just vanished into thin air!
These are all the result of your money story driving your financial decisions – and you’re not even aware you’re doing it!
While more money won’t fix your money story, fixing your money story can change the way you handle and receive money!
After coaching literally thousands of people through their money stories, I’ve realized there are FIVE main money stories people fall into.
These are as follows:
• Money Chaser
• Survival
• Money Hot Mess
• Just Enough
• Hold Tight
I talk about each of these money stories in detail inside my book...
Regardless of your money story, there are TWO fundamental truths you need to understand:
Firstly, you don’t get to choose your money story!
Your money story is deeply embedded in your psyche. It’s a part of who you are and impacts EVERYTHING!
Your money story is critical to how you think, react and communicate about money.
Your money story affects the amount of money you have or don’t have.
Secondly, if you don’t intentionally create your own money story, you’ll develop one that DOESN’T serve you by DEFAULT!
That’s because money decisions happen at a deeper, subconscious level – but are played out by your mind as you go through life.
Your mind will then steer you to make decisions which are in alignment with your money story.
And if you don’t intentionally create an empowering money story, you’ll play out the money story you carry by default.
So this book is really about understanding your money story, and is filled with actionable strategies you can implement immediately to change your beliefs about money!
In fact, it’s going to help you change your story from disempowering to deeply empowering!
Plus, this is a simple read.
At 86 pages, you can read it in just a couple of hours.
And you’ll understand how it’s possible to change your money story so you can attract and keep more money in your life!
