It’s ALL about relationship!  (Just ask Mimi.)

Your relationship dynamic with money usually parallels other relationships in your life–the wounds of childhood, broken hearts, every hurt or betrayal or feeling of being unsafe goes into who you become in relationship to the world… and to money.  The happy news is that when people transform their mean, scary, witholding Money Monster into that imaginary “Money Honey” who loves you and admires you and demands your self-respect… your other relationships change too!

When you stand in who you are without apology, when you are fully and fearlessly authentic, you will REPEL people. You will scare them off! This is wonderful. The more you clear out the people who don’t like or understand or appreciate you and your products, the EASIER it is for your fans to find you. If you aren’t repelling anyone, you’re not doing your job!

You’ll never please people who are not “your people,” but you can divert your energy and your self respect by trying to make everybody your friend or customer. Cut them loose. Instead of trying to persuade people who don’t want to be persuaded, embrace scaring them off.

They aren’t your customers and they aren’t your friends. Self respect is very attractive to good health, wealth, and love.

Your naysayers may come around on their own. Focus on your fans.

I’ve noticed the more “professional” I try to sound, the more invisible I become. I sound like everybody else. I disappear. My conversation partner’s eyes glaze over then dash around for something of more interest.

As soon as I let loose and say something outrageous like “I’m the Money Magic Queen,” people wake up. “Really?” they ask. “What’s that?” I end up with more relationship and credibility than if I’d just stuck to the usual credentials (author, trainer, international speaker, certified coach).

The more authentic you are, the more visible you’ll be to your people, just like the full moon coming out from the shadow of the eclipse.

Yes, it’s scary. Many people will tell you that you can’t afford to lose the snakes! It takes a leap of faith to trust in the attractiveness of who you are when you’re not pleasing others.

Women are still brought up with the myth that someone else will take care of us. That someone else is better equipped to take care of us than we are. It is interesting that women are brought up to take care of children but not considered able to take care of themselves financially. Women are considered better in relationships. They are the relationship masters. In the relationship that is going to be the longest relationship in their lives, they claim ignorance. Many behave as they are and cannot be good at that relationship. And that is despite the fact this relationship will dictate how they live their life. I am talking about the relationship with money.

Step 1: Acknowledge that you are enough.

You don’t need anyone else to rescue you; you can rescue yourself. By accepting responsibility for your own life you take back the power that you may have given to someone else. That power was always yours. You know yourself best. You know your dreams, longings, desires and needs. Whatever you choose to do you will live with the results, for better or for worse. It is the power to make things happen. To take risks. You are the one that is gong to live with the results, not the other person. When it comes down to it, you got what it takes to make the change in your life; you know what you need.
