Here’s a great Money Magnet Burning Question that came in:

“When I speak to money, do I need to be holding some money in my hands or can I just ’speak to money’ as it were? I’m not sure what I need to visualize when I speak to money.”

Stop thinking of your Money as money. Money is not a number, it’s a relationship.

Make your Money Honey a HUMAN you would love and adore for his own sake, having nothing to do with his being money. You can’t love a piece of paper like you can love a lover.

A client today was telling me how much easier it was to care for and respect money when it became a HUMAN being.

You wanna learn UNCONDITIONAL LOVE? This is it, baby. That’s your relationship with your Money Honey. He loves you no matter what. You love him no matter what. And he’s so real you get butterflies in your stomach. (The Money Honey can be female too.)

But your Money Honey will never really exist for you unless you exorcise the monster before him. That’s the price of admission.

This is Alchemy. The first step is “negridio”– the blackening. You must create polarity, separate the bad from the good. Your Money Honey is only as real and wonderful as the monster before him is real and terrible.

Financial Alchemy has six steps. You can’t leave a single step incomplete.

1) uncover every negative experience
2) create the monster
3) get rid of the monster
4) create the Money Honey
5) ask your Money Honey what he needs (rarely what you expect)
6) take the action he wants (rarely what you expect)

If you aren’t sure you have your Money Honey, I can tell you right now you don’t. When you’re Honey arrives, you will KNOW it with every fiber of your being. And you will SWOON!

Last week I sent you the new relationship with money-as-John Travolta story. (Read “John Travolta Loves You” on my blog.) The very next day a new one came in.

This is why I love my job. I want you to read beyond the dollar amounts and listen for the happiness and optimism and new relationship to life. THAT’S what this is really about:

“Dear Morgana,

I just have to tell you this. I listened to the teleclass you did last night — found out about it an hour before it was scheduled, felt moved to attend.

Wow. Wow wow wow wow. I haven’t even done the Money Monster exercise yet, but for some reason I totally connected with the idea of the Money Honey and got mine right away, plus an action to take.

I took that action last night (set some financial boundaries with my adult children) and this morning two things happened.

(more…)

Thank you Lynn S. for sending this in:

“Hi Morgana-Hope this is not too long…just had to share! I listened to your talk yesterday on Money Monster/Money Honey-also listened a week early-both were the Maestro Call. Here are my results:

Last night, I asked my Money Honey what I should do to have more of him in my life. He showed up dressed like John Travolta in the Saturday Night Fever white suit. I couldn’t figure out what was going on…but each time I tried to picture him in different clothes-he changed back into the white suit. So-I gave up and let him dress as he pleased.

Anyway-he told me that the next thing to do was to go to the bank in the morning, and deposit some money from one of my checking accounts to the other. I thought “OK”. And thanked him for stopping by…said ‘adios’.

We have been struggling to collect money from many of our clients right now-and I was feeling a little panicked because I didn’t have enough funds to cover our payroll due to our employees on Friday. We had been contacting our clients who were ‘past due’…but hadn’t been making any progress. So…this morning, at about 10:20, I left work to go to the bank. I put the deposit into the ATM machine, and walked back to my car. Turned on the car-and SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER was playing on the radio. At first it didn’t ‘click’ with me-but then all of a sudden, I started laughing out loud-I thought “what a synchronicity”!

Then-I went to order a coffee for an employee that I had promised to pick up on my way back. As I was waiting for the coffee, I got an email from one of our clients. They were paying us EARLY on a project we just invoiced for! (five figures) They were paying the SAME DAY that we invoiced-and were overnighting the check! The amount of the check WILL EASILY COVER OUR PAYROLL-and the money wasn’t due to us for 45 MORE DAYS!!

The time on my deposit slip is 10:35 AM….the time the client emailed me to tell me about the early payment is 10:37 AM.!! TWO MINUTES!!

I still can’t believe it-I’m in awe

Thanks for sharing this powerful tool with me-I am forever appreciative.”

Note to the reader: the first time I read this I laughed, clapped, and shrieked a little. The second time I cried because it makes me so happy to read.

If you’re going to make money a person, “Money” is going to, well, have a personality.

And that personality has some quirks.

Over the years I’ve noticed that client “Money Honeys” (that new, wonderful relationship with a money who LOVES you!) tends to certain predispositions.

In other words, Money just likes some stuff and doesn’t like other stuff. Here’s a rundown of the most common Money Honey likes and dislikes:

MONEY LIKES

• fun

• sexy lingerie (Money keeps sending my clients shopping)

• dancing

• animals and pets (especially dogs, horse, and fluffy red cats)

• attention

• self confidence

• romance

• flowers

• strong personal boundaries

• quality

• talks in the car (Money Honey likes to sit in the passenger seat)

• appreciation

• love

• trust

• France (whether it’s trips to Paris or French cuisine, your Money Honey digs France!)

MONEY DISLIKES

• being rejected and blamed

• clutter

• fast food

• small hotel rooms (My Money Honey complained to me in Melbourne. I changed rooms.)

• shabbiness

• undercharging

• gouging (overcharging is a no-no)

• people pleasing

• cruelty to animals

• cheating

• junk–buying crap (if you’re going to spend, make it count)

• disorder and disregard

• not standing up for yourself

• ugly clothing (it’s really not attractive)

• pollution

• waste

• complacency

What does YOUR Money Honey like and dislike?

“I’m seeing success beyond my wildest dreams… I’m constantly blown away at the business and new clients that I’m attracting… The thought goes through my head many times a day now ‘I do live a charmed life.’“ Lavon Lacey, owner of Quantum Entertainment, Inc., Atlanta, Georgia

“Immediately after our session I got a call from my office. They wanted to know how to book the $80,000+ check… A few days later, they called again with the same question on another smaller 5 figure check. Not a bad way to start out the new year!” Elliot Malach, Book Publisher, Galveston, TX

“Not only have I attracted more spontaneity to my life but more money too — $10,000 within 48 hours of our first session! No kidding. Fueled by your solid wisdom and fun approach, I find the new clients and checks continue to show up steadily and I’m having a blast. Thank you Money! Thank you Morgana!” Laura Koehne, Professional Coach, North Carolina

“Over $20,000 has come to me in different, unexpected ways outside my regular income since I have been using the Financial Alchemy method. The experience has given me the confidence to move ahead on a major life dream of mine.” Katie Curtin, Toronto

“I had been working for years on getting my one woman show off the ground, spending huge money, huge time, and even huger effort, but meeting resistance and dead ends. I felt the situation was hopeless… Now I’ve raised over $25,000 for the show. Thank you thank you thank you.” Jonna Tamases, award winning Actress and Writer, Los Angeles, CA

One of the reasons I’ve had so much success with my clients is the quality of commitment my clients bring to their coaching.  Acceptance into a coaching program requires an application and interview.

What does it mean when clients “can’t afford” you? This is such a powerful learning, when you finally get it…

“Can’t afford” to hire you means they don’t want you enough. That’s all. The bottom line is if someone doesn’t hire you, they don’t see the value you give as worthy of the sacrifice. That doesn’t mean you don’t provide great value. That doesn’t mean you don’t deserve to be well paid. They just don’t see an urgent connection between what they need and what you offer. Either you aren’t giving them what they perceive they need, it’s not important enough to them, or you are offering what they need but you’ve dropped the ball in communication.

When someone tells me she “can’t afford” me, I always take the opportunity to point out that it’s more powerful–and honest–for them to say, “It’s not an economic priority for me at this time” instead of “I can’t afford” it. I’m totally cool with not being an economic priority! Nothing wrong with that!

As a coach, I feel it’s unethical to allow (even prospective) clients to relieve themselves of responsibility for their choices. I will not collude with their disempowerment. It is PROFOUNDLY disempowering to make money or time a scapegoat, an excuse for not doing something. This doesn’t serve them. And it can be quite LIBERATING to be given total permission to say “No. Other things are a higher priority.”

At the same time it takes enormous self-management to hear someone talk about having trouble coming up with money for food or rent. Everything in me wants to say, “Don’t hire me! You can’t afford it!” (And I’ve done that, much to my regret.)

It is ALWAYS their call to make. To give a discount, to give it away for free, or tell someone they can’t afford me is, essentially, saying “You don’t have what it takes.” Ewwww.

The people I take on as clients want me so badly that they’ll do whatever it takes to hire me, and they thank me. The moment I find myself trying to convince someone to hire me, I need to pause and acknowledge we probably aren’t a good match, and say so.

Ironically, this hands off approach (trying to “overcome objections” tends to bite me in the a**) is often enough to motivate people to come back and hire me. And if it doesn’t, we weren’t a good match.

I’ll add one last word: I find it helps to be CRYSTAL CLEAR about what results a client will get, how they’ll know, and when. I never promise “you will make money,” but I can tell them precisely what I can guarantee. And I stay absolutely in integrity about what I can promise and what I can’t.
