• 0:27
  Hey everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  So we're talking today about money and money mindset because
• 0:35
  this time of year it comes up constantly and it doesn't just
• 0:39
  come up in client calls. It comes up in conversations
• 0:42
  with friends, in conversations with my kids.
• 0:45
  It comes up all the time. And there is a, there is a real
• 0:50
  connection between feeling safe and money.
• 0:54
  Yes, look at that. He really took that on.
• 0:57
  Timing is everything sometimes, but there really is a main
• 1:00
  connection between safety and security and money.
• 1:05
  And should it be that way? No, but that's the way it is.
• 1:08
  And we have to, we have to recognize that in this world
• 1:12
  that we live in, in this world that we have constructed, it is
• 1:15
  not Star Trek where you don't have to focus on money and you
• 1:19
  do what you know, what drives you.
• 1:21
  And there's a whole science behind the fact that, that, that
• 1:24
  even if that was that way, there is a grand chance that people
• 1:27
  would become lazy and not have anything to resist against.
• 1:31
  Therefore they would not be successful.
• 1:34
  And it it it. And I truly, I truly believe
• 1:39
  that as much as I love to say I'm an idealist, I believe that
• 1:43
  people need to have that push and that desire in order to go.
• 1:47
  You have to have purpose and purpose drives you.
• 1:50
  And money is part of that purpose that keeps us going.
• 1:54
  Now, it's not always the purpose For some people, they don't have
• 1:58
  to worry about it. They are independently wealthy
• 2:00
  one way or another. Maybe they inherited money.
• 2:03
  Who cares? It doesn't make a difference.
• 2:05
  What matters is going into this season, your beliefs around
• 2:08
  money and do you believe in abundance and do you believe
• 2:12
  that you have more than enough? Do you believe that you are
• 2:16
  struggling because you are actually struggling?
• 2:19
  Do you believe that money is a horrible thing?
• 2:22
  What are your beliefs around money?
• 2:24
  And it all gets triggered around this time of the year when we
• 2:27
  are asked to give, asked to donate, asked to buy people
• 2:30
  presents. We feel obligations and we just
• 2:34
  sometimes don't want to do it and we feel like, oh, I have to
• 2:37
  do it. And if you feel that that
• 2:38
  language is coming up in your head, I have to do this, then
• 2:42
  it's time to explore. It's time to figure out what's
• 2:46
  the reason for that? Where is that coming from?
• 2:48
  What is it telling you? And do you want to listen to it?
• 2:52
  Because I'm a big proponent of listening to what your your talk
• 2:56
  is. You know, we've mind chatter is
• 3:00
  annoying as hell. I am the first person to admit
• 3:03
  it. I can't stand it.
• 3:04
  However. However, the gift in it is that
• 3:07
  there are always threads of what's going on behind the
• 3:09
  scenes because they, the, all the emotions on the bus can't
• 3:12
  shut up. So they're chattering.
• 3:14
  And when you listen to the chatter, you have clues to your
• 3:18
  beliefs, the ideals that you're focusing on, where your head is
• 3:22
  going. It's all back there.
• 3:24
  You just have to pull it out and look at it.
• 3:26
  And, and that's the hard part for most people.
• 3:29
  They don't want to pull it out. They don't want to look at it.
• 3:31
  They don't want to think about it.
• 3:32
  And they kind of get in this headspace of like, I just, I'm
• 3:36
  just going to do it. And and then they are
• 3:38
  exacerbated, especially when they have to pay the bills and
• 3:41
  they look at how much they've spent.
• 3:43
  And that is the frustrating part.
• 3:46
  And it's if you don't have money set aside, which most people do
• 3:51
  not have money set aside to say, hey, this is what I'm doing for
• 3:56
  Christmas presents that may be something or holiday presents of
• 3:59
  whatever, you know, you celebrate it.
• 4:01
  It is a grand idea to start separating your money out into
• 4:06
  separate accounts throughout the year so that when something
• 4:09
  comes up, you don't have to worry about it.
• 4:11
  It's just like I have a tax account.
• 4:13
  I put money in there to pay taxes and then I'm all set.
• 4:17
  I have a house tax account. So when I owe money on my house,
• 4:20
  I have that set aside. And and then I don't feel like
• 4:24
  I'm taking it away from myself as much as it's in its
• 4:27
  designated spot. But that's a future paced
• 4:31
  resolution right now in this moment.
• 4:33
  The resolution is to make decisions that serve you, that
• 4:37
  are smarter, that are not going to stress you out in a month
• 4:41
  when the bill comes in. And it doesn't mean that you
• 4:43
  don't give people acknowledgments and things that
• 4:46
  matter. It means that you're smart about
• 4:48
  what you're doing. It means that you might have to
• 4:50
  do more thoughtful gifts. You know, like I have a couple
• 4:54
  of people who send gifts out to me and they are the most
• 4:58
  thoughtful gifts. They are cookies and fudge and
• 5:01
  they are I, I get so excited when those cookies and that
• 5:05
  fudge shows up. I get so excited because I know
• 5:09
  they took the time to make those.
• 5:11
  Not only are they delicious and I have to to hide them from my
• 5:13
  family, but it's such a thoughtful gift to know.
• 5:18
  And this is the part that I'm talking about.
• 5:21
  This goes back to that old world thought process of what can I do
• 5:25
  that makes that person know that I actually love them.
• 5:28
  And I didn't just go and say, oh, let me buy a gift that you
• 5:31
  gave me off of a list of things that you wanted because it's not
• 5:36
  the same thing. It's simply not the same thing.
• 5:39
  So think about that before you start purchasing.
• 5:41
  Think about your money. Believe leaves around the
• 5:43
  purchase, maybe immediately set up the account so that next year
• 5:48
  you don't have to worry about that process of worrying about
• 5:51
  the money. Even if you put $10 a week in
• 5:53
  it, it doesn't matter. There's going to be something
• 5:56
  there that you don't have now, and that's a huge thing.
• 5:59
  So if you start doing it now, you've got some sort of solution
• 6:02
  going into it. And then just think this year,
• 6:05
  thoughtful think, heartfelt think, love.
• 6:08
  What can I do? Because, well, that might not
• 6:11
  make a difference that you believe won't make a difference
• 6:14
  to them. Most likely it will.
• 6:16
  OK my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I will see you
• 6:19
  all tomorrow. Bye.
