Your Compass In The Fog Of Overwhelm

Nicola here from The Money Gym,writing to you on 1st January 2010 with my third very important message….

Think about this for a second………..

In the olden days, humans were able to find their way around the globe, in any kind of weather, even if the fog was so bad they were unable to see a few feet in front of themselves….

How did they do that?

They were able to find their way forward because they had some deceptively simple tools…

Tools that were simple to use but were so sophisticated that they delivered exceptional results every time…results you could depend on…

Those tools were….

The Stars and a Compass.

Yep, that’s pretty much all they used to sail ships across the vast oceans, to go somewhere so far away it literally took months, if not years to get there and then to come safely home again.

Would it surprise you to discover that there are some deceptively simple tools you can use too, to navigate your way through all the financial confusion you might be experiencing right now?

Well, no!  I’m not going to tell you about those tools, I’m going to show you….how to create and use them yourself.

Headlights In The Fog? That Won’t Work! Try This…

Nicola Cairncross from The Money Gym here, and I’m writing to you today, on 30th December 2009 at the end of what has been one of the most confusing years anyone can remember.

Investment strategies no longer working, rock solid jobs feeling a bit like quicksand, formerly successful businesses going down the tubes……

http://www.TheMoneyGym.com/silverelite

Nobody knows which way to turn, the signposts are gone and we feel like we are feeling our way along in the dark.

What tools can we use to make sure we survive these times?  How do we know what will work?

It’s a bit like………..

You know how, when you are driving along and you hit some fog, you automatically switch on your headlights……..thinking it’s going to make it easier to see?

And it doesn’t?

Even full beam?

The one tool that you would think would work, is actually not working at all, and might be making things worse!

Well, would you like to know which tools – practical and emotional – you REALLY need to use to get out of the fog of your financial overwhelm and worry?

We know, and we want to share some of those with you – right now!

Struggling Financially? Blame The Fog!

Nicola Cairncross from The Money Gym here, and I’m writing to you today, on 29th December 2009 in the middle of the worst credit crunch anyone can remember.

Can you remember more difficult financial times?

I certainly can’t.  We never imagined it could get this bad, did we?

All around the world people are worried for their jobs, businesses are going down and banks, while taking money from their governments certainly are NOT lending it out again to consumers.

Even if you pay off your credit cards, the companies are taking your available balances right down or even taking them away and don’t even get me started on the interest rates they’re charging!

People are so confused……….so worried………so stressed about money……….they have NO IDEA what to do, which way to turn…………they are stumbling along in the dark, in the fog, they feel overwhelmed and incapable of taking action..

Even if they knew what action to take!

BUT !!

Would it surprise you to know that there are people out there who are not only NOT hurting, who are not confused, or overwhelmed…….. but who are actually thriving financially?

People who are making more money than ever before, who are starting successful businesses, who are getting online, who are creating multiple streams of income, who have control of their cash, people who know on a week by week basis, what’s coming in and going out, and WHAT TO DO with what’s left over?

People who are not phased by changes in the economy, who just switch their strategy to one that suits the times and just works better?

People who have a whole TOOLKIT of financial strategies to fit the moment, the situation, the need.

Who are these people?

Financially Intelligent People, that’s who!  You could call them FIPS for short!

Now, I just bet FIRSTNAME that you would love to find them, join them and become a Financially Intelligent Person – who wouldn’t?

Well, now you can…..

Because we have created a brand new video that can get you started down the road to becoming one of the Financially Intelligent People – right now.

Come on over, watch this exclusive new video and get some FIP savvy!

A Year In The Life Of The Money Gym

I read recently that, in business, you should never rehash what didn’t/doesn’t work but always focus on what works/worked and do more of that.  Simple but profound!

So I’m not going to do a roundup of what went well for the Money Gym (and me personally) and what didn’t go so well, I’m going to focus only on our successes and triumphs which will make for some pretty uplifting reading as we go into Christmas eh?

The year kicked off in January with the Internet Marketers Cruise in the Caribbean which was an absolute blast!  I took my sister, all our kids and hooked up with some lovely Money Gym clients including Susanne Jorgensen and Jane P Lewis and we had so much fun.  I got to go to a private cocktail party in Jennie Armato’s stateroom and hang out with Mike Filsaime, Michael Green and Robert G Allen among others.  A shooting star across the sky topped off the night perfectly.  I also made my karaoke debut that trip, singing “You Give Me Something” by James Morrisson very badly and we both met some wonderful new friends, not least at the poker table (Jennie won the poker tournament bringing glory to the girls)

January and February saw more speaking gigs with WIN Investing and although their audience was not quite right for the Membership Club Magic presentation, we did attract some great clients although not in great numbers.  At the Manchester event I met Daniel Priestley for the first time and liked him on sight, which led to an invite to speak for Triumphant Events.

Are You Blocking Your Own Success?

You know how sometimes you are just meant to see / hear / read something?  Well, yesterday the very excellent blogger Yaro Starak send out a short email, linking to one of his latest blog articles entitled “Do Your Belief Structures & Behaviour Patterns Block Your Success” and as I love Yaro’s writing, I started to read it.

He talks about blind spots, being open minded and how your patterns of behaviour are anchors….all good useful and well written stuff…. and then I either got distracted or called away or started to feel guilty that I was reading for fun when I had so much to do, and I didn’t read the rest thinking I would come back to it later.

Later on, an email arrived from Steve with a link to the article, pointing out a couple of paragraphs nearer the end, that I had missed by not reading on, and which were particularly pertinent to something we had been discussing on Monday.

(Welcome home Steve, by the way!)

So, now another nudge to read this article, from the old Universe, so I did, I read it right to the end.

BANG! POW! KERZAP!

Very good indeed.  So good in fact, that I printed it out and have been carrying it around and mulling it over every since, now embellished with highlighted bits and underlinings.

SO GOOD in fact that the power of the thoughts that this article stirred up called for one thing and it’s something I’ve never done yet ……… I have started journalling.

Yep, manually writing in a book every day, something recommended by Julia Cameron in “The Artists Way” but never taken up by me, after my mother found my five year diary when I was a teen.

I’ve been thinking of starting a daily business journal, after an article I read last week by Todd Brown at Strategic Profits called “The Secrets To Greater Business Clarity” but was putting it off till the New Year, thinking I might get a lovely notebook for Christmas (it’s on my list!)

But Yaro’s article was reverberating so loudly in my head, that I dug out a new notebook Steve bought me recently and just pasted in Yaro’s article and started writing.

Here’s the first part of Yaro’s article for you to enjoy too!  You need to read to the end, remember?

Shocking Truth About Judith’s Money | What Will Be YOUR “Return On Investment”?

Judith Morgan says: Nicola’s always asking me “Why won’t our clients tell us PRECISELY how much more money they have made by being in The Money Gym?”

I don’t know is the short answer!   What I do know is that in the UK we don’t like talking about money whether it’s because we’ve made less than we would like (and don’t want to share that) OR the more likely Money Gym scenario which is that we’ve made more than we think our friends and family would like (and we don’t want them to know or to show them up).

Many’s the time when we have been contacted by a particularly successful client and asked to TAKE DOWN a testimonial, because they are getting divorced, have just met someone new, don’t want to be stalked, are worried about burglars, don’t want the tax man to have any inkling….many, many differnent reasons.

This, of course, makes our Money Gym marketing very difficult, particularly for the Gold and Boardroom coaching programmes and it makes it hard to give people specific examples when they ask that age old question “How quickly will I get a return on my investment and how much will that be?”

A Wealth Creation Dream Come True

This week a long time wealth creation dream of mine came true….but before I tell you about that, I’ll tell you about my mad exciting week first!

Last Tuesday it was my boy Nelson’s 12th birthday so he, Phoebe and I went to Brighton to their favourite restaurant, Yo! Sushi, where they got through frightening amounts of….you guessed it, sushi, then we all went to see “Fame – The Movie”

This was great not only because I love all that singing and dancing “luvvie” stuff, but because the graduation ceremony gave me the best quotes on success I’ve come across for a while, but how to get hold of it?

I scoured YouTube but the film is too new for it to be up there yet, so I sent out a few tweets and an email to our Money Gym Google groups. It took a couple of days but Carrie Eddins emailed the speech back for me to use in my presentation on success on the “Really Useful Internet Day”

When I thanked her, thinking she must have had it downloaded or something, she said”I walked past the cinema, and thought..if  it ’s screened when I walk past then I will watch it again.. and it was. I watched it missed a bit and then it was immediately screened again!! It was fun in the end!!”

Wow, thanks again Carrie, that’s helpfulness above and beyond the call of duty!  Our google group and the people in it, is amazing.  Just think, if that’s the Silver level group support, imagine what the Money Gym Boardroom google group will be able to do for YOUR business!

Having The Vision | Daring To Dream

In The Money Gym we find that one of the first hurdles our clients have to get over is that of envisaging and then writing down a detailed description of their “Ordinary Tuesday”.

We ask them to write down what they will be doing on an ordinary Tuesday in three years, five years, ten years time, when they have “made it”.  We want details; from the minute they wake up, to the moment they go to bed.

Where are they, what does it look like, how is the décor, which country are they in, what do they do in the morning, afternoon, evening.  Who are they with?  what are the smells, tastes, feelings around them?

It’s a powerful exercise because sometimes, it’s the first time they have ever done any visioning since they were a child – we all do it all the time when we are children (it’s called day dreaming).

Who teaches us as children to tone down the things we dream about doing, being, becoming?

I remember the very exciting day dreams I used to have – I either wanted to be a princess (but that involved marrying a prince then doing what he said, so slight snag there) or a successful business person with a big sunny corner office, in the City of London (my idea of business success was a little corporate in those days, I didn’t realise you could run a business from your spare bedroom).

So children are largely much better at day-dreaming, visioning than we are as adults but some grown-ups retain the ability.  There are also different personality types who are naturally more comfortable with this kind of thinking, and they are called Creatives.  They are found in ad agencies, the corporate world (it’s called blue sky thinking there) and lots of the creative industries like fashion or music.

Did you know… that the Money Gym is writing another book?

Would you like to have your wealth creation story in OUR book?

Judith is writing a companion book to Nicola’s original and the working title is How I Did It.   It will tell Judith’s story of how she put into practice what she learned from Nicola and The Money Gym and it will document what she actually did which made the difference, what actions she took to make more money.

This is a book for people who want a plan.   Clients are always asking us just to tell them what to do.   So we want to collect together all the stories of clients, colleagues and friends who have read the book or materials online, come to an MG event, listened to a webinar – anything – and gone home and DONE something different for a change, however small.   It might even be something we referred you too – like someone else’s event.   What was your breakthrough moment?   How much more money did you make as a result of it, how much wealthier do you expect to become now you know that?

If you would like to share your story of how your financial situation has changed in order to inspire everyone to take one teeny tiny step to make more money, then we would love to hear from you.   Your contribution can even be anonymous if you wish, or you can use it for publicity for you and your business too – your choice.

Please email judith [at] themoneygym.com and she will send you a list of questions to be thinking about.
