Sorting slides for my online workshop: Your Unique Money Personality.

Speaking to Alison Green of Mackrell Solicitors recently about the work I've done around the psychology of money, she asked if I'd run a workshop for her clients.

The workshop is Thursday 23rd at 12.30 pm and has been opened up to others who would like to come along.

The link is in the comments section.

Come along to get insight about how you think, feel and behave around money.

An invitation to you to join my new transformative programme Wealthy and Winning 💰 💰 💰 💰

Consider this:
* How comfortable do you feel about your finances?
* How confident are you that you have enough money for the life you want to lead?
* Do you need a trusted adviser to take you by the hand and guide you through the financial maze, so that you have the information you need to make the relevant decisions?

So often my clients want to make changes in their life, but don't know if they have the money to backup those big moves.

Or they may feel they have enough money but have concern about what may happen to their wealth in the future if they make this change.

It can be scary and overwhelming.

And as is often the default, it’s easier to stick with the status quo and not do anything.

But then you carry around the thoughts of “what if”.
* What if I had taken the plunge and jumped into what it is I really want
* What if this was going to be the best move I could do if only I had the courage to take that first step
* What if I regret not doing this at a later date.

When you don't have a plan for the future, and the future as you imagined it has suddenly changed, you feel lost and unsettled.

But………..here's the good news.

All of this is easily solvable. And none of it is your fault that you feel overwhelmed.

The fact is you just haven't yet received a proper financial education.

This is what my new flagship programme Wealthy and Winning is designed to cover.

This is a six month one to one bespoke programme to help you take control of your money and plan your financial freedom.

I’m busy working on a revised branding and a new website. It’s on its way…watch this space.

The website will have an application process for anyone who thinks this may be for them and wants to know more.

I can only take on one new client a month, since this is a highly personalised programme with high touch support.

But if you think this is just what you need, you can get a jumpstart before it gets offered out.

Private message me and we can arrange a call to discuss whether we would be a good fit to work together.

We’ll discuss where you are now, what your concerns are and where you want to get to.

This six month programme is designed to have you :
* Feel comfortable and confident around money
* Know how to manage your money effectively
* Know you have more than enough for now and for your future
* Feel confident to make financial decisions for your future

When you join Wealthy and Winning, we will take this journey together.

I will take you by the hand and guide you through the financial maze.

Private message me to discuss whether this programme is right for you.

The first time I've had a proper sleep in 2 years…………

It’s incredible how stressful money worries can be.

And this isn't just people who worry they don’t have enough money, or are struggling to make ends meet.

This was a comment made by a client who’s a very high earner. But she’s also been spending a lot. And all discretionary spending normally following an evening sitting in front of the TV mindlessly scrolling on her phone and mindlessly clicking “buy now”

She advised me that because she was so overwhelmed about her spending she hadn't been sleeping properly for a number of years.

Her stress levels had been at an 8 or 9 out of 10 constantly re her money.

And as a result her sleep pattern was disturbed.

Following on from the work we’ve started doing together she's now a lot more relaxed and advised that for the first time in 2 years she's slept through the night. 😴 😴 😴

She's beginning to let go of the guilt and shame of her spending pattern over recent years.

Instead we’re focussing on how she can change things and make more appropriate decisions going forward.

What are the issues your money worries are leading to? Is it making you stressed? Disturbed sleep? Feelings of guilt and shame?

If you're worried about money let’s have a call to see what I can do to help.

Don’t suffer with stress, guilt, shame, lack of sleep and whatever other feelings that are bringing you down.

Imagine if in a short space of time you could turn this around, so you were no longer experiencing these problems.

Private message me and we can have a confidential, no obligation call to see what I can do to help you.

Ask the expert.

Do you wish you had the ability to raise your financial queries with an expert?

Rather than spending hours searching the web, only to get conflicting information or information that maybe you’re not sure applies to your situation, do you want a personal answer suitable to your needs rather some generic facts?

If so, then Ask the Expert is for you.

This is your opportunity to have 30 minutes of my time to answer your queries.

Come armed with a list of your questions to ensure you don’t forget anything on the day.

Better still, send me a list of your questions just before our call. I can then review and consider what would be the best order to answer them in.

The call can take place on Zoom so you can record it and listen back afterwards.

The fee for this service is £150.

My advice is down to earth, with no jargon, designed to give you confidence, clarity and peace of mind. Your call is totally confidential and with no obligation to do any further work.

I've got 4 sessions available next week on either Tuesday 11th or Thursday 13th. These are different times to those currently on my calendar.

If you want to take advantage of this send me a private message and I’ll get you booked in.

Wealthy and Winning

When you don’t feel confident or comfortable around money it’s hard to know if you have enough for the life you need and want.

When you're wanting to make changes in your life, but don't know if you have the money to backup those big moves, it can be scary and overwhelming.

When you don't have a plan for the future, and the future as you imagined it has suddenly changed, you feel lost and unsettled.

Here's the good news.

All of this is easily solvable. You just haven't yet received a proper financial education.

Introducing Wealthy and Winning, my flagship three month one to one bespoke programme to help you take control of your money and plan to your financial freedom.

My new website is being designed as we speak, and there will be an application process for anyone interested.

I can only take on one new client a month, since this is a highly personalised programme with high touch support.

But if you'd like to get a jumpstart before it gets offered out, private message me and we can arrange a call to discuss whether we would be a good fit to work together.

This three month programme is designed to have you :
• feel comfortable and confident around money
• knowing how to manage it effectively
• knowing you have more than enough for now and for your future.
When you join Wealthy and Winning, we will take this journey together. I will take you by the hand and guide you through the financial maze.

How you do money is how you do everything.

A comment often made in personal development and coaching is “How you do one thing is how you do everything.”

In other words, you behave consistently in accordance with your character across most of the different areas of your life.

This was very apparent in a recent client of mine, when we held our VIP day.

In relation with her money, she very much had an all or nothing approach. She either was very controlled with her spending, and only spent on necessities, or she was spending constantly, scrolling through her phone in the evening constantly adding items to her basket.

After this type of spending spree she felt excited for a short period of time.

But then the guilt and shame kicked in as to the amount she'd spent.

By the time the purchased item arrived, she didn't even remember what she had ordered, let alone feel excited by it.

When we discussed other areas of life, the following became apparent work.

• She swung between working very long hours to then taking significant amount of time off to replenish. Her recent replenishment time was moving into several weeks.
• Food: she swung from eating super healthily prepared nutritious salads and shakes etc. to having no interest in preparing food and ordering takeaways.
• Exercise: she swung from running five miles every day, (which in fact then resulted in a knee injury) to doing no exercise for several weeks. She was not even doing the knee exercises she'd been given by her physio.
It was really helpful for her to see the pattern which she'd previously been unaware of.

Once you see the pattern it then becomes so much easier to do something about it.

And the great thing is: it's the pattern that needs to be addressed, rather than behaviour in a specific area.

This means that once you address the behaviour in one area it automatically impacts on other areas.

For my client, we're addressing exercise first. She's been given “homework” to do 10 minutes exercise four days a week. This is allowing her to see you don't need to spend an hour doing exercise for it to be worthwhile.

What do you think?

Do you see certain patterns in your behaviour with money?

If you have patterns in your behaviour around money that you'd like to change, direct message me. We can discuss what your concerns are and what I can do to help.

“Thank you. This has been the best day of my life.”

And what was it I'd done with my client to be given this great accolade?

• Had I whisked her off for some luxurious pamper day?
• Taken her to a very smart restaurant?
• Taken her for a long hike followed by wild swimming? (Tells you a bit about what I enjoy)

But no, we had a one day VIP day working on her relationship with money.

Yes, I know it may sound crazy to say it was the best day of her life. But her behaviour around money was causing her a huge amount of stress, guilt, shame and discomfort.

And ultimately, the stress was leading to sleep issues, which were adversely impacting on her mental health.

What did we do?

We addressed the areas within her finances that she was uncomfortable with and started to look at ways to change her behaviours.

This gave her comfort that things could change.

So often it's the thought that things can improve that make us start to feel so much better.

We no longer have the feeling of things being out of control.

We no longer panic that there is no way out.

We no longer fear the situation can't improve.

It's incredible how quickly things can start to improve once you believe they can, and you have a plan of action.

If you're stressed around your relationship with money, do message me and we can discuss what I can do to help.

Are you funny with money? Do you love it….or maybe not so much?

It's very easy to think that you can only have a poor relationship with money and feeling uncomfortable about money when you don't have enough.

But this couldn't be further from the truth.

So many women I work with, who would in so many ways be considered to be wealthy, are very uncomfortable around money.

There are often:
• feelings of guilt that they have more than others
• feelings of shame about the amount they spend
• feelings of uncertainty that they don't deserve their wealth
• feelings of fear they will lose their money

From over a decade of working as an Independent Financial Adviser and Chartered Financial Planner, I have become very aware that your feelings around money and how wealthy you feel, have nothing to do with the amount of money you have.

Instead, it's to do with the thoughts and feelings going through your head. In turn this is very much related to your past experiences, including the experiences your parents had with money and what the messages they (consciously or subconsciously) passed on to you.

That's why so many lottery winners end up losing their money within a short period of time, or maybe being in a worse financial position than when they started. In their mind, they are not millionaires, and do not deserve this money. These people often end up making some very bad decisions.

How do you feel about money? Would you say you have a healthy relationship?

If something in this article sparks a thought, “I don't feel great about money”. message me and we can talk as to whether I can help.

One of the saddest things I've always experienced in my work, as an IFA and Chartered Financial Planner is clients who have enough money to achieve what they would really love to achieve in their life, but their fear is holding them back.

Don't allow fear or your uncertainty around money to stop you enjoying your life, and enjoying your money.

I have a new programme that can help you address your thoughts and beliefs around money and address those thoughts that do not serve you.

Change is coming…………….

Lots of exciting things afoot at Wealth for Women.

Yes, I'm continuing to work with women going through divorce, helping them plan for the future.

Yes, I'm continuing to do financial planning to show clients what their financial future will look like. Help them answer questions such as “Do I have sufficient funds to achieve what I’d really love to do? To live the lifestyle I want?”

But in addition, what I've now added is a whole chunk of money mindset.

It's always fascinated me as an independent financial adviser, and Chartered Financial Planner. How some people just don't feel wealthy, regardless of how much money they have.

I've now done all the training and certification to help me understand why. It's nothing to do with how much money we have. It's to do with what our thoughts and feelings are around money.

Watch this space to see what exciting things are coming.

There's a new branding and a new website being worked on, and a Unique Money Personality quiz . I’m so excited by these changes and can't wait to show them all to you.

But if you can't wait that long, and you know you need help with your beliefs and thoughts around money, do reach out and message me. We can have a confidential call to discuss your concerns, and what I can do to help

A Man is NOT a Financial Plan!

From a young age, my mum instilled me with the message to never find myself financially dependent on a man. The message stuck so hard, I even wrote a book where this is the tagline!

The Wealthy Woman is a great place to start your financial self discovery journey, and to help you get a grasp of the fundamentals. Wealth means different things to different people, and so my book takes you towards the small steps that will help you find your own definition of wealth.
You are in a position where you can improve your wealth. Whatever your dreams and aspirations around money there is nothing to stop you moving towards those dreams.
