Money Leaks to Money Moves

Do you ever feel like you can't get on top of your finances? Or that no matter how hard you work, money seems to be like someone else's property? Have you ever felt like despite your current income, you're always paying out more than there is coming in? I have.

Recently, I found myself starting to ask the bigger questions of my money problems, I've been wondering, "what is it going to take for me to enjoy total financial success?" Like any good financial adviser will tell you, the first step is to see where you're currently losing money or in other words:

Where are your integrity leaks, financially?

What are the areas in which you have huge amounts of stress and worry surrounding money? What old debt or bills have you seemingly "forgot" about? Furthermore, what is it about money that you have not taken 100% responsibility for?

As I have been asking myself these questions, I've come up with some very creative answers. First, there's the array of stories that I'm at the affect of the economic crisis and that there just isn't help for a guy like me – that no matter how hard I try, money seems to slip between my fingertips.

However, going deeper, there is more at risk in my current financial situation than my credit rating, my integrity and my own willingness to take 100% responsibility for creating my life the way it is today.

Despite the details, right now, I'm committed to being broke, in debt up to my ears and feeling all sorts of frustration and overwhelm regrading my current financial crisis. How so? I'm simply being honest about my results. And in facing into my debt, directly, my integrity leaks and all the ways in which I worry about money, I give myself a chance to accept my life the way it is today and be at choice if I want to continue on the path or make another choice.

Today, I'm making another choice!

Join life coach and teacher Mary Tebbs and myself tonight or in the upcoming weeks in The Appreciation Circle to produce better results and change your relationship with money for good.

I appreciate you for taking the time to read this post, there's a reason why you did.

Money Problems = Get a better Problem

I'm excited for the launching of the revamp of The Appreciation Circle. Committed to revolutionizing, on a global level, our relationship with money and abundance, this weekly group is about to change the way we do money for good by creating wealth, from the inside out.

I invite each of you to this group, not only to support us in actualizing our dream of creating more rich communities (both in love and money) but for yourself to create a life of wealth and happiness.

I believe at this point, we owe it to ourselves to be an example for the rest of the world, money does grow on trees and in our hearts, we simple need to open up to receiving it and get out of the way what's keeping us from our natural birth right: a life of complete and total success.

My invitation: get a better problem, stop making money the issue. In fact, money is a phony issue, for when you take a look at all the ways in which you resist the flow of feeling good in your life, you can be pretty sure it's related to the flow of easeful income you have flowing in. Today, make your focus about appreciating all that you judge to be good and all that you judge to be bad – be willing to get a better problem, join us in two weeks for the launch of The Appreciation Circle.

Where My Money At?

I'm excited to report that we are ready to re-start The Appreciation Circle again. As Nick and I have talked about the container and direction of The Circle, we have taken the feedback from the country as a whole and the collapse of the banking system and have chosen to play more directly with our relationships with money. How this translates in real life to The Circle is we will bring to the table teachings and questions surrounding a combination of universal laws, commitments and counter-commitments, exploring and uncovering our own truths and belief systems, and patterns and personas around money. And we will be doing all of this int the spirit of fun, love and appreciation.

I feel very excited to be back in The Circle and even more excited about the clear focus of choosing to play with money. I know I want more love and appreciation in my relationship with the mighty dollar!

So if you want more money, more love, more appreciation in your life, come play on Thursdays, starting October 23rd with me and co-facilitator Nick James and let's see how much fun and aliveness we can inflect into our money relationships!

Until then here's a toss....notice what happens for you when you go to pay for anything in your life....a movie, dinner, gas, your power bill, rent, new shoes....what comes up for you? Just notice.

See you soon!
