MONEY $ $ $
Everyone needs it
Some love it
Some hate it
Some ignore it
What do you think about yours?
(Or do you?)
Are you intentional about your money? What’s that and why does it matter?
Realize it or not, your mindset about money, “Moneyset,” sends ripples across every facet of your life.
Your “Moneyset” is as unique to you as your fingerprints, your smile, and your eyes.
The difference is that you can choose what your Moneyset looks like.
Your Moneyset is the result of becoming intentional about every feeling, and belief that you choose to have about money.
Like spring cleaning your closet- a money belief can be kept, used, thrown out (WHY did I even buy (into)this?) or re-defined.
Just like that sweater forgotten in the back of the closet that suddenly looks different to you, a money belief can be ignored and put back, thrown out , or tried out and you may find that, yes, it works!
Your beliefs about money may look very different when you pull them out and really look at them.

Ask yourself:
- Did the belief come from someone else’s belief or life experience?
- What were the life circumstances, successes, or failures of that person?
- If the belief stems from your own experience, ask if it was a good, cringeworthy, or a tough lesson. Did it help or hurt you or others? Would you repeat it?
- Did you profit financially or in some other way from a belief?
- Is it a belief, for example, you repeatedly heard like, “Money is the root of all evil”
- Is the belief organic? For example as a child, you experienced your family’s poverty because the electricity was periodically shut off, and you never got new school clothes?
- Did the belief come from an adult experience, for example, being fired from your job and spending the next year sleeping on a friend’s couch?
You aren’t stuck with the beliefs you don’t even know that you have!
Ultimately, the beliefs about money YOU CHOOSE to keep, lose, redefine, or develop, serve to form your Intentional MoneySet.
Your intentional Moneyset matters. Creating your own will make you more secure about your financial situation, more comfortable with money decisions, and as you undoubtedly will make better choices about how you acquire and use your money, more confident in yourself.
You can choose to love your money, hate it, or ignore it, but you do need it.
Understanding and defining your MoneySet will unwittingly lead you to ask the those same questions about relationships, lifestyles, love, and work.
Where did those related beliefs arise, and what will you choose to keep, lose, redefine, or develop?
Choose with intention.
The ripples are infinite.
