Money Gym Gold Written Entry - Matthew Lloyd-Winder

Jan 1st, 2009 | By NicolaCairncross | Category: Money Gym | Competition

Submitted before the deadline but after I went to party! Here is the penultimate entry for the Money Gym Gold wealth coaching competition. Cue……….Matthew Lloyd-Winder!

Hi Happy Christmas seasons greetings and a prosperous new year!

My name is Matthew Lloyd-Winder, I am a stained glass artist working in South Mimms and my company is http://www. Stainedglassstudio.Co.uk

I warn you this entry is interactive so switch off now if you cant take the pace!

You probably think I am mad but every morning I get up at 5.30 and go out for a cycle ride come rain or shine (if it is below zero I promised my family that I would walk instead because of my little accident last Jan the 6th when I skidded onto some ice in front of a gleaming silver 4 wheel drive Tonka trooper and got a little squashed – understatement- Although the pain was intense, lots of bruising, broken shoulder blade, and I had stay in bed for over a week- unheard of for a self employed person- I used the time to focus what I really wanted out of life, and after about3 months the pain subsided the neurofen was binned I could stand upright again and I felt I had made full recovery)

But I digress, the reason I go out in the first place is not to annoy my wife, - although it does- but to give myself an hour in a world that belongs just to me…

To stand in a field and perform a ritual-
(No not the one were I dance naked around a tree- but don’t let me stop you if you want to)
But one where I simply state; who I am, and my goals, both for today and long term.
Some days I feel that this Mantra works, and other days I know it does.
So now you know I am a bit nutty I would like to share some of it with you, because in a way it leads into why I am entering this competition.

(And by the way if you do the actions you’ll get more out of it)

So shut your eyes and start by imagining you are standing in a field under an oak tree, (open your eyes or you will never get to the next bit) (my mistake) You have done your stretches watched the sun come up – or at this time of year the moon, stars or rain clouds. The world is quiet and you are centred.
Take in a deep relaxing breath and make your power move (sharp exhalation and explosive movement – hmm that sounds very wrong somehow)( nutter!) and speak the following words
“I am abundant in every good way,
Infinite money is mine to Earn, Save, Invest, Exponentially multiply and share.
I embrace abundance and abundance embraces me.” (I hug myself at this point and smile inwardly)
(The next bit is my own personal bit -but if it appeals to you too then be my guest)

“My Goal is complete financial independence in the shortest possible time frame in order that I may become an enlightened millionaire, and be in a position to share my wealth and abundance more effectively with the rest of the world.

See you feel good now -don’t you! (nod your head)

So why do I need to win?

I believe that winning this years gold level coaching would assist me immensely in my quest in obtaining financial independence because according to all the books, audio, emails and seminars that I have read seen and attended there is a consensus of opinion that states that no matter how good you are single handed, and how dedicated to achieving your goals you are, they become infinitely more accessible with coaching. (teamwork)

And whilst I feel wealthy in every other way, I am fed up with being financially poor.

Also most of my learning about wealth creation has been done in isolation I really want to receive support from confidant, competent teachers.

Why the Money Gym?

A coach from the money gym right now would be so good for me, as I am tuned into wealth creation, and am hungry to learn more, and Because, I trust the money gym.

Having received and absorbed Nicola’s regular emails I know -as you all do -that she is inspired, unique, and passionate about giving more value than seems possible.

As a result of her efforts

I have attended three amazing Money Gym workshops this year.

The first was a property day with Greg Ballard who was brilliant. He offered so much concise information in so little time! Mind blowing stuff really especially as the current economic climate is- “a little bit less than predictable”

As a follow on from that day

I also attended a Rent2own evening as recommended by Nicola, and was enlightened by Pat Cunningham as to how you can buy a house for a pound, and create positive cash-flow (win for you) in a deal that essentially also offers a win for the seller, and a win for the buyer. Win win win! What could be better?

The second workshop was Brett Mc Fall’s 2 day internet marketing seminar. Talk about paradigm shift in my awareness, I was absolutely blown away with the concepts, especially the accessibility of how easy it is to use the internet as a business tool.

Brett launched into the 2 day workshop with a passion to impart all his knowledge about making money whilst you sleep, and did it very effectively in bite sized chunks. I came away thinking Even I can do this! (And more importantly – I don’t feel the urge to buy an anorak!)

After Brett was done, came Tim Broklehurst and his Viral Spiral…. What a compliment to Brett’s information. Just as you thought you had seen it all, Tim took it into hyperspace! Describing how the essence of success on the net is growing a list, exponentially, and how he has developed systems to help you do it.

My final day out with the Money Gym was the Lets Talk money day in (Oct?)

In which a small group of members, and non members sat in a room together discussing money, sharing information, being led by Nicola and Judith, “The Governess” ( sorry Nicola but we all wander off occasionally) (especially me-Oops) with assistance from Annie K. The great thing about this day for me was how real people, from all walks of life, pulled together and offered support and encouragement to each other, in a non competitive way that resulted in everyone growing from the experience. (I did get a tear to the eye at one point)

Ok you ask why should Matthew win or even get my vote?

Well let me tell you.

I need to take more action, and I know with the aid of a coach, taking the steps that will propel me forward, will become a lot easier, less daunting, and faster. Having attended all of the above workshops and been inspired big time I still haven’t taken enough action because,have a problem around my neck in the shape of a hamster wheel.

Stained glass studio is and has been my only source of income for 29 years I am passionate about what I do and have made some amazing works of art for people, given employment to some great artists/ craftsmen, and intend to see that SGS continues to develop and become even more profitable.

But- it does seem to take all of my time, and the yield financially is not supporting my current lifestyle, let alone my dream of becoming an enlightened millionaire!

Through my desire to become financially independent, and the influence that the money gym has had on me to date, I have opened my eyes to two other lanes of the wealth superhighway and know that I must take action. I first want to develop an internet business as it will cost less to start up,(less risk) and I love the idea of doing the work once and being paid again and again, lots of Ideas to start with, and I then want to move into property, but this will need more finance to start with. I need assistance, with streamlining all these pieces of the jigsaw.

I will look at the stock market next year but don’t have any urgency on that one yet.

As I said in the beginning I want to be in a position where I can use my wealth and abundance more effectively with the rest of the world.

In other words I have a desire to contribute. And the best way to do that is take action, because in this world money talks.

My first action was to look at the things I wanted, and the financial list looked like this;

Make more money, buy a bigger house, a newer car, take proper holidays, buy organic food wherever possible, stay healthy, and send my three children to a good school. And be able to pay my bills on time, clear my bad debt.

This list felt good and I was more than half convinced that this was what I wanted.

But as time drew on I discovered that this was really only the start. It did not motivate 100% I didn’t feel great that the main beneficiaries were me and my immediate family.

So I asked myself again, and whilst the list above remained in place I also realised that as I grow I have a duty to assist others to learn and grow any way that I can. (To this end I have already started to contribute in small ways.)

You will know that the world has many worthwhile causes, many of which are no doubt dear to your heart.

My main goal, is to get wealth creation taught effectively in primary schools, as I believe in so doing, more abundance will be the result.

Look at us, we are all grown adults, floundering around in the richest time the world has ever known, restricted by our inhibitions, conditioning, and fears unable to embrace change, and learn at the speed of a child. Statistically about 95% of us in the UK will die poor, after a lifetimes graft, how crap is that?

But

Imagine if you had been educated at a very early age, about the positive effect money will have on you and your loved ones.

How being wealthy would assist you to help others live a better life too.

If this was true

Where would you be now? And how will the world be a better place? ( Interactive moment)

I want to walk the walk and talk the talk, -which means being financially independent, and the gold coaching will help me do that quicker.

In addition if I am the winner I pledge to give everything in my power to be the best coachee (!?)

Do the stuff that is needed, be there on time and give 1001% always.

And please note

As I am well aware of the effect of not having enough money has on a person I further pledge to ensure that I use my newly acquired learning to assist the money gym in their goal of creating a million millionaires by offering my skills free of charge if they want them, especially to those who cannot afford to pay up front for the knowledge.

So if you have been affected by any of the contents in this Christmas appeal….
