The first time I felt shame about money was when I was 4 years old, and it happened somewhere totally unexpected.
I used to have a friend at school who got free snacks because her Mum volunteered at the school canteen and weād often go together and get something tasty. One day, I went without my friend and asked for a strawberry frozen yoghurt (my favourite) and her Mum told me Iād have to start paying for my food.
I hadnāt known, of course, that sheād been paying for those āfreeā snacks behind the scenes all along. What I did know was that I stood there, 4 years old, suddenly aware that I needed money and deeply humiliated by not having any.
I started looking around at the other kids and comparing myself. The rich kids had money for the canteen and Reebok shoes. Their parents were doctors or lawyers. I wasnāt like them. The shame I felt stopped me from telling my parents about what had happened and though I didnāt realise it at the time, the intensity ended up shaping my relatio...
The other day I replaced a cartridge in a high-end water purifier.
It was meant to take 5 minutes⦠but it took me over an hour (and after a couple of tantrums, I finally asked someone to help me!)
Was there something wrong with the filter? Nope.
Did I follow the instructions incorrectly? Not this time (although that has happened before!).
The problem was, I hadnāt used this particular water purifier in several years. This caused the filter cartridge to get over-saturated and it created a tight seal inside the unit. So separating the filter cartridge from the lid required a mammoth effort.
At first I felt annoyed because the advertised '5 minute filter change' had failed by miles. But of course I accepted it was my fault, and because of one thing - neglect.
It's actually a story I see playing out all the time in the mindset space.
Most business owners believe their mindset is fine because they read 'Think And Grow Rich' ten years ago. So they go about spending all their funds on mark...
In my last post, I promised to spill the beans on how you can use my Science of Manifestation process to create amazing results.Ā

Itās impossible to get a high paying job during COVID. Everyone knows that.
Except two of my clients just landed $200k+ jobs.
Letās start with āRobā (not his real name - heās a high-profile executive and wants to remain anonymous).
Rob left his last exec role 18 months ago. Now youād think it would be easy for a high level boss to walk into another well paying job - but itās often not.
You see, there just arenāt that many exec roles around at any one time.
And the recruitment process is usually a formality because they already know who they want. These types of jobs arenāt generally advertised on online job boards either.
Rob would sit for months and get zero calls from recruiters.
And for the roles Rob did apply for, he got rejected every time. With each knock-back, his confidence took a further hit, until one day he knew he had a problem he couldn't fix on his own.
Rob had progressed to the fourth interview stage for a senior role. Yet instead of feeling excited and confid

Today I want to share my story aboutĀ how I got out of $97,000 of credit card debt.
Yep⦠$97,000.
I felt inspired to share this because a friend of mine told me yesterday that she thought Iād had a perfect life and Iād never struggled with money.
Can you believe it?
If thatās what my friend thought, then it means Iāve been pretty darn good at keeping my debt a secret⦠and I did it mostly because I was so embarrassed about it.
Iāve been keeping it a secret when in fact, itās the whole reason I went looking for help and stumbled across money blocks.
Finding and releasing my money blocks changed my entire money story and also allowed me to quit my corporate job and create my dream business.
I shared a video today in my private Facebook group about my personal story and why Iām so passionate about showing business owners how to fix their relationship with money.
I wanted you to see it too, even if youāre not in my Facebook group.

The first step is to review your bank statements and bills and do the math to get an idea of roughly what it is that you spend and where. (Some people donāt even realize they spend $2,000 on groceries, when half of that would be enough for their househo...
