Yet, if you want to be comfortable financially, then you have to learn how to talk about money with potential clients, vendors, and financial practitioners. Highlights Sex and money are the two hardest things to talk about. A lot of people would rather talk about sex than money. Both sex and money are about sharing personal energy, which can be scary especially when there is a lot of shame around both issues. Always remember, money issues are never about money. They are about the emotions you\u2019re acting out through your money. People in every financial bracket don\u2019t like to talk about money, especially how much they have or don\u2019t have. It\u2019s very freeing to be able to talk about money and to realize that you are not your money. It\u2019s just something you use to interact with the world. How much money you have or don\u2019t have doesn\u2019t change your value as a human being. You have value even if you have no money. Having a lot of money is not necessarily easy because you have to make a lot of decisions and it\u2019s not that easy to talk to people other than financial advisors for whom you are a source of their money. If you\u2019re part of a peer group that struggles with money, when you start making more they might treat you like an outsider. People often feel validated when they receive money. But money is not the answer to anything. If you think you need more money, you actually need more people because money always comes from people. For people who are in business for themselves, there\u2019s a lot of uncertainty about income and unless you train yourself otherwise, that causes a lot of anxiety. When you love, except, acknowledge, and appreciate yourself, you\u2019ll make more money. It\u2019s important to counteract negative self-talk. I talk about how to do this. Trusting and acknowledging yourself are important. Being comfortable asking for money is essential if you\u2019re in business for yourself. How do you feel about talking about money? Understand the value of your uniqueness. Do you ever say, \u201c I don\u2019t care about the money, I just want to help people\u201d? As someone in practice or as a business owner you have to care about the money. That\u2019s part of being in business. If you suffer financially commonly no one is going to rescue you. You have to rescue yourself. Links To set up a time to talk to me click here. ","author_name":"The Prosperity Show Podcast","author_url":"https:\/\/ProsperityPlace.com\/","html":"
