How Athena Did It
Friday, January 28th, 2011“It seems everyone would like to know how I could hire Morgana when I was broke and in debt. How did I pay her? I must say, it’s a good question. However…it’s the wrong question. Let me explain.
As you read Morgana’s account of my story, you probably felt the angst of my situation. Alcoholic husband, getting divorced, young kids at home, deeply in debt…How could I possibly hire a coach under those circumstances?
If you have an unhealthy relationship with money, you are going to think that money is keeping you from hiring Morgana, or any other number of things. Your problems with money got you into debt and now money issues keep you in debt. You are stuck. You are helpless. In a cycle with no way out! There is no reasoning with money, especially if you’ve gotten to that point of desperation, with debt, the recession, perhaps unemployment, etc. I had all of those thoughts. So, for me, as you can imagine, the idea of hiring Morgana was not the logical choice. Far from it.
In fact, I didn’t use my logic when I hired Morgana. I used my Money.
Before I hired Morgana as a coach I did a few things:
1. I read most of her blog archives and, in particular, the post about The Secret to Financial Alchemy. It’s also in her workbook and it takes you step by step through the Financial Alchemy process. I took the time and went through all the steps on my own. I got my Money Honey.
2. I got onto her free teleclasses and listened to her radio broadcasts.
3. This is the BIG ONE: I took responsibility for my relationship with money. I realized that it was up to me to change my relationship with money and I vowed to do that.
4. I listened to my Money Honey and promised to do whatever he told me he wanted me to do. I had learned from Morgana that I needed to make my Money happy and he would give me the world in return. I wanted to live my purpose and be well-used in service and my Money Honey was the way to do that. So, no matter what my Money told me to do, even if my logical mind didn’t understand or believe, I made a promise to listen and act on it. I figured I had to do something different, as my old methods had landed me broke, divorced and victimized. My Money helped me to feel purposeful, hopeful and useful.
One day, as I was walking with my Money Honey, he told me it was time to schedule a session with Morgana. He told me to do it even though I was scared to spend the money in this way. I used a credit card that I had in my own name. I had built trust with my Money Honey and I knew that if he told me to do this, it was the right thing for me.
You know the rest of the story.”
