This week we're in Lane #1 : Business

Financially Intelligent Bank Accounts

by Nicola Cairncross, Money Gym Founder

One of the things I have struggled with for years is the question of having different bank accounts for different activities (which makes sense) yet trying to keep things simple because as sure as eggs is eggs (sic), any money is invariably in the wrong account at the wrong time. I know that all the other living-on-the-edge-entrepreneurs will know what I'm talking about!

The other challenge I have is how to account for items spent using credit cards. Physically how to enter them into my "day-book" so that they make sense to my money, and to the tax man - as my day-book is used to prepare my accounts.

I needed a blueprint on how to design a supportive environment using my bank accounts. One that would be almost automatic, one that would "work".

The first glimmer came when I read US coach Mike Neill's "Freedom Fund" tip; I think it's perfect for employed people who want to leave their job and start a business. I'm going to go into it a bit below, but to read it in full, join the Silver Level of The Money Gym Club and it's one of the resources in Module 3: Cashflow.

Then, over Christmas I was reading Mary Hunt's book "Debt Proof Living" (which is excellent by the way), and she goes into bank accounts in great detail. A light bulb moment. Wow! I realised that if you combined this stuff with Mike's Freedom Fund tip, it would be a great blueprint for how to set up your bank accounts to be a support system, a new "environment" to help you evolve into your new financial lifestyle.

So here it is, with thanks to Mike Neill & Mary Hunt.

10 Steps To Financially Intelligent Bank Accounts


1. Start with creating a Freedom Fund

So you want to be self-employed . My bank manager says that most companies fail because of a lack of profit or bad cashflow management, so let's see if you can run your company finances right now, as if you had already started.

Quote of the week

"When you believe you've found your purpose, do not allow yourself to be dissuaded by others' opinions - don't allow them to tell you in which direction to build. After about five years of working at Nightingale Conant, I landed on an alarmingly great idea... I was going to do this on my own.

I wanted to do just what my close friend and mentor, Earl Nightingale, was doing, but I wanted to do it under my own name and with the education and knowledge I'd been personally acquiring over all the years. So, I got a tape recorder - you know, one of those old fashioned kinds with the big buttons and the red "record" button. You put the tape in and it click-click-clicks away while you talk into the microphone...that kind of thing. And I sat down and recorded my own thoughts on the subject of personal growth.

I needed someone to give me feedback, so I called up a good friend and told him I had a great idea I wanted to share with him. I took the tape and recorder up to his house, turned it all on and ...well, Joel Goldsmith's phrase "Thunder of Silence" couldn't have fit the situation better. As the tape played on, the pressure in that room became enormous - it was his embarrassment for me. I eventually turned the tape recorder off, and mumbled, "Well, it was just an idea."

As I was driving back to my house, it hit me: I was letting him steal my dream! This was my dream! I wasn't going to let him steal my dream! And that's when it clicked in my mind... I can do this.

Had I listened to him, I would have fallen off my life's purpose. I would have kept obtaining goals and building long-term visions in my head, but I would have been going in the absolute wrong direction. See, if you're not on purpose, everything is off course.

When you have the right purpose you'll easily develop the right vision. When you have the right vision, you'll quickly recognize the right goal."

A note from Nicola

Hi

This has been an interesting week work-wise despite my not stirring from my house or out of Shoreham. And very audio orientated which is unusual for me.

I went to another fantastic party on Saturday, at which several very interesting things happened, but I SO can’t go into details here LOL. Suffice to say that my new Capri pant/pedal pushery things and kitten heels got an outing (I know!!) and I managed not to fall off them once which is a miracle coz I’m a bit tottery in heels usually.

Judith and I started the two week series of live webinars, every night at 8pm, where we are essentially discussing one chapter of my rather nicely enduring book “The Money Gym: Ultimate Wealth Workout” every night, and we are inviting questions from participants in advance of the webinars. Some of the coaches are joining us for some calls and they are just great fun. Talking of which, I’m starting to accumulate some nice reviews on Amazon.co.uk for the book, which are outweighing the first, rather negative one. But don’t buy it from there – we are making a fab special offer if you get it from us (see below).

We are also podcasting the new Money Gym Webinars via iTunes before creating an audio version of the book out of them. This will be for sale as separate product, and that product will be bundled with the special offer we have going at the moment to give extra value to that. You can subscribe via iTunes and get them at no charge, as we finish them, as you are a reader of this ezine *wink*.

I love a nice bit of “do the work once, leverage it over and over, and give lots of goodies away”

Andy Shaw called me up unexpectedly this week, and as a result of our discussion about his membership site, “focused” me rather well about our marketing this week. Funny how inspiration can come out of the blue and strike when you least expect it.

I watched Jim Edward’s webinar “My First Million Dollars Online” the other day, and it was brilliant. I so want to go on Jim’s Caribbean Internet Marketing cruise!! That, together with Andy’s call and participating in the Rich Schefren “Strategic Profits” Business Coaching Programme is all having a quite profound effect on the way we do things round here. Together with the “4 Hour Work Week” which I haven’t even read yet.

Thanks to Jim asking the question “What would happen if, God forbid, you ended up under a bus tomorrow?” I’m making a timetable of everything I do during the week (apart from play Second Life, and diddle about reading everyone’s blogs of course!) and working out what and when we can outsource things.

I’m also looking at all the things that I don’t do well, or don’t enjoy, and finding strategic partners for those things.

I’ve done all the copywriting to date but, nearly 10 years on, it’s getting hard to work up the energy to be able to convey in writing, the excitement I still feel in person, for our life-changing Money Gym. As a trial project, Mark Lewin had a go at re-writing our Webinars info page for us and managed at the last minute to convert 3.06% of traffic to sales for us which is great for a real rush job. We had previously achieved a paltry 0.6% so thanks Mark! www.marklewin.com – lovely website!

OVER HYPED, OVER PROMOTED & OVER HERE!

Judith has done a fantastic job of that on her blog this week – she got all riled up about more overseas Wealth Creation “gurus” coming into town and everyone flocking to see the next big thing. She writes so well and she is funny and inspired in equal measure so check out her self-style “rant” here >>>> Although Judith is far too gentle to rant really badly, but don’t get me started!!

SUMMER SPECIAL – YES! IT IS SUMMER…

I’m working on writing up a very special timed summer offer on Gold Express membership of The Money Gym Club at the moment so watch your in-boxes for that, as I’ll send it out separately.

It’s based around the fact that, if you want to work with me and Judith personally, the only way to do that nowadays is via our quarterly Money Gym Club Mastermind Group get-togethers. We host those in lovely hotels, in Brighton and London, and they are based on the second day of the old Money Gym Platinum workshops (which no longer exist but which clients absolutely loved).

You need to have gone through the Money Gym Club Gold Level membership to be invited to join the Mastermind Group (this ensures a certain level of wealth creation savvy) and if you have a busy life and lots of commitments, you can do Gold in a year, or if you are Speedy Gonzalez and you really want to go for it, you can do Gold Express in just three months!  (Find out more at www.TheMoneyGymClub.com)

The summer offer is so well timed because if you join the Money Gym Club Gold Express Level right NOW, you will be in time for the next Mastermind Group get together in October 2007.

In the meantime, we have a trial marketing special offer based around the Money Gym ebook version of the hard copy book:

Offer #1 - Invest in the ebook for £25 and get 3 months Silver membership of the site – worth £82.50 – with our complements, F*REE! Get extra materials, audio, advice, help and support via the site and our live webinars, while you work though the book.

Or

Offer #2 - Invest in 12 months membership of the Money Gym Club, get 50% discount worth £165!, get the eBook version of the book immediately, worth £25, AND we will send you the hard copy from Amazon – worth another £25! - to read in bed and or pass on to a friend.

I’ve also done two webinars with copywriter, Nick Wrathall, whose birthday it was recently – he looks about twelve but is apparently in his teens at least!! He wrote some killer emails around the birthday theme, which just emphasised how good British copywriting can be. You can access both webinars with out complements here for a little while >>>

Nick has just released a great guide to effective copywriting for small businesses, that is selling at a very affordable £47 and I highly recommend Nick to any business owner who can’t afford to pay someone like Mark Lewin to write their website, emails or advertisements yet.

I’ve just done the first of a series of four, perhaps five webinars with business man Mike Segall, fellow BlackStar Ecademist, who has various companies, including SpeedNetworking, Central Debt Management and New Business Generation. The topics are Wealth Creation, Debt Management & Leveging OPM (Other People’s Money) For Wealth, Property Investment and Generating New Business Leads.

You can find out more at www.TheMoneyGym.com/WorkingLunch - it’s hilarious that you can create valuable content and great quality audio with one person sitting in their desk in Shoreham and the other in their car in the Birmingham NEC carpark!! Such fun.

SECOND LIFE

The arrival of some new computer memory has heralded a resurgence of interest in Second Life.

Hermione has some new apartments – 6 more! The original 8 are now filling up rapidly, which has much to do with the arrival of her flirtatious sister Larimar, who does a great job of selling them to prospective tenants.

She also treated herself to a new pad in SL. It is very, very modern, from Maximum Minimus, H’s favourite furniture shop and it’s just beautiful. I want one just like it on Shoreham Foreshore. As soon as possible – talk about manifesting!

Here is a pic of the front of the house (for privacy you can click any window and they all turn into frosted blue glass – fab!), and then one looking out over the pool from the hanging chair. Just by the pool, in the sea aisle there, there are real waves, two manta rays, a turtle and a friendly little crab – so sweet! We are calling it “Hermione’s Heaven” because she loves it so much.

Hermione can see two of her luxury apartment complexes, sister Larimar’s Moorish palace is just over the way, and between them they have bought up all the land around, so nobody can build anything nasty on the land parcels nearby.

In front of the house is a sea facing plot that they have created a bit of a leisure complex on, complete with full size pool, spa and bar.

Hermione and Larimar threw a bit of an impromptu party for one of the tenants JonnyB Baxter the other night and FenwayMonster Greene, the builder of the apartments dropped by. He made a cake out of nothing and put some very large candles on it, conjuring up some balloons out of thin air.

He had such a funny animation and gave everyone all a copy – it was a spontaneous combustion animation, and by saying a quick command, you could run through the campfire, turn yourself into a towering infermo and then throw yourself in the pool. They had great fun with that and also practicing the belly dancing animation that Larimar contributed.

It was not quite the funniest animation Hermione has seen this week though, as she popped by Sands Nightclub (where Hed Kandi dj’s play live from RL to SL) only to find it had moved to a new location.

While standing outside working out how to get the new TP co-ordinates, she noticed a guy rolling about, apparently drunk, with pink elephants coming out of both the bottle he was holding and his head! This animation was the first of it’s kind she’s seen and it was very very funny, especially when, every time he fell over, his head disappeared into the concrete.

They got chatting and it turned out he was a house dj from Chicago and as Hermione knows a bit about house music and the roots of it, in Chicago, they got on like a house on fire, went shopping together and had a load of fun.

Could this be the one to stop her pining for the elusive Vasily?

We shall see, but there is an Exotic Islands Real Estate party on this week and Vasily might just be there…..now, what shall she wear?

Have fun, we are!
