Guess what?

We’ve been thinking about money all wrong.

For so many of us, money is stressful. We feel like we never have enough. Or we’re embarrassed that we’ve gotten ourselves into a mess. Or we’re worried that we’ll never get it figured out and it’ll keep getting worse.

We even think that having more money will distance us from the ones we love.

But I’d like you to know that there is a different reality. And it’s much more FUN. . .

Having a joyful relationship with your money is absolutely possible.

In fact, money can be a SOURCE of joy. And it can allow you the freedom and power to enjoy and care for your loved ones even more.

If there’s a part of you that is ready to stop stressing about money– a part of you that wants a wealthy life without the “ick factor” that we mistakenly attach to money — then here you go!

I’d like to invite you to check out my hot new and improved interactive program. . .

MAKING MONEY JOYFUL:
End the avoiding. Get into action. Fund your dream life now.

It’s now an 8-week multi-media course that will transform how you approach money.

It always amazes me when people are able to open their hearts to me with their money stories. And it always touches me when people allow me to help them take a real look at their money. Tears well up for me as I listen and love those that open up to me.

Church-Confessions

[Although I am Jewish, I often feel like I have opened my own “confessional” of sorts, by providing a safe space to share. Some will tell me “no one in the world knows this besides us, and I feel so much freer not trying to hide it anymore.”]

Let me tell you what I mean. . .

I’ve been speaking with a number of people on private calls over the last few days (if you want your free session with me, grab your spot here). The people on these calls have been incredible.

They have been sharing their situations with me. Sharing their fears. Sharing their goals.

I spoke with one woman who is terrified about retirement. She’s in her 50′s. When she reads about saving for retirement and realizes how little she has saved, the fear paralyzes her.

My colleagues Linda Claire Puig and Kim Clausen have put together an outrageous event in which more than 50 of the best money, business, and marketing experts — including me — are giving away more than $1,000,000 of done-for-you products and services. Kind of crazy yes…and true!

Woo-hoo! Since Tuesday’s Make Money Joyful call, I’ve been getting amazing feedback. I am beyond excited to hear about all of the eye-opening shifts you’re having.

(If you missed the call, you can still get in on tonight’s encore: http://bit.ly/10vkaFG)

And now onto today’s Money Tip!

We’ve been touching on why people avoid looking at their money, and some of those reasons include shame, fear, and other strong emotions.

But what happens when that’s not the case? When you don’t feel a strong emotion around money? Does it mean that you’re not an avoider?

MoneyHook

MONEY TIP: If you fall into the camp of, “I’m not sure if I have a problem with my finances, but I’ve never really worried about it,” you’re not off the hook. There’s a good chance that you need to take a look . . . Soon.

Many people don’t know if they have a problem. But because there’s no nagging fear pulling on them, they never feel motivated enough to take a look. This is still a form of avoidance.

This is just a super quick reminder about the free training call I’m doing tomorrow.

Make Money Joyful: 3 Steps To Get Unstuck and Face Your Finances with Confidence

makemoney

Get the details + get access here.

Maybe this went on your “I’ll get to it later” list already–I totally get it. That tactic is one that most of us use in far too many areas of our lives.

Only thing is that it usually ends up causing us to forget about things we’re actually interested in. Or we wait until we’re in a frantic rush to get it finished. Or we wait until it’s altogether too late.

But this is your last chance to get in on this free call because it happens tomorrow!

Once you make it through your email overwhelm, your money overwhelm is often close behind. This one I also know first-hand…does this sound familiar for you too…?

* Have you ever procrastinated something related to your money?
* Do you ever feel stuck or not sure how to move forward, so you just don’t do anything at all?
* Or worse yet, do you spend money and then feel guilty, embarrassed, or even sad because you’re not sure if you’ve just dug yourself a little deeper into debt (or lower savings)?

Have there ever been times in your life when you knew, deep down in your core, that there must be a better way to do things?

So many of us go through our same old routines, day after day, without stopping to examine what we’re doing and how we’re doing it. Or, if we do stop to examine our routines, we get judgmental on ourselves. . . and if we’re honest, it’s not really working for us.

Today, I’m getting really honest with myself–and with you.

Crackberry and babyI am addicted…my blackberry (and soon my new iPhone). Currently, I fondly call it my “crackberry.”

(I am prioritizing solving this for myself so I don’t end up with a crackberry baby–like the one at right!)

We have a love-hate relationship really. I seem to get some odd thrill when my red text light comes on (and my colleague Sarah Finks just explained why that happens–so interesting!) but then I also may get a moment of overwhelm when I haven’t checked for a few hours and there are 20+ new messages (all seemingly demanding my urgent attention).

So I listened in on Sarah’s free training call Wednesday night, and wanted to share a quick tip that I learned:

MONEY TIP: Your inbox is full of what other people want from you. Not what you actually want or need to accomplish–that moment, that day, or even at all. So treat it accordingly…

Last week, I wrote about how the world is full of smart, successful people who have no idea what’s going on with their money (and hold onto a lot of preventable stress as a result).

Given the overwhelming response I got, I wanted to send you a quick follow-up note on one of the reasons WHY people have trouble looking at their money. . .

We often think, “Shouldn’t I know how to do this already?” We feel that any lack of knowledge is a shortcoming, and we certainly don’t want anyone else to find out that there’s something we don’t know.

Which means we don’t seek help in figuring it out. After all, isn’t being good with money part of being a smart, successful adult?

Well. . .

MONEY TIP: Most of us have never been taught what to do with our money, how to think about it, or how to USE it as a tool to create what we want in our lives. It comes in, and it goes out, but we only have a vague idea of what’s actually happening with it. (I totally get it — this used to be me too.)

Then, if we want to make our money situation better, we have no clue where to start.

BUT. You’re here now. You can get better information. You can learn all of the stuff that you think you should have learned years ago. And you can finally stop “shoulding” on yourself.

If you’re ready to start learning, then I’d like to invite you to my upcoming call. . .

Call me crazy, but I have a hunch that there’s something you’ve been putting off doing lately. Maybe even for your entire life.

And I think I know what that something is.

I’ve been working with intelligent, successful, and very likeable people for a long time now. In fact, I’ve worked with thousands of people who fit that bill, and I’ve discovered that there’s a big area in life that you may be avoiding (as most people do)…and now it may have even become a dirty little secret for you…

Avoiding

Looking at your money.

And I mean really looking at your money–where it comes in, where it goes out, and how much you’re actually working with. (Or instead for you, it could be an accumulation of smaller minor things that add up–like paying certain bills (and on time), refinancing your mortgage, or having that heart-to-heart with your partner.)

MONEY TIP: If you’ve been putting off figuring out your finances, and if there’s a part of you that feels guilty about that procrastination (and maybe even a little worried that you’ll find something terrible once you DO take a look), then it’s time to take a deep breath and stop feeling so alone (like I said, a lot of people avoid money).
