Speaker 1 (00:00):
But I think it's why
I'm anti-ad, Like I am not a big
fan of an ad.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Ads are programming.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Because they're
programming and also like
sometimes they're programmingyou with really negative shit,
like some of them are, you know,just humorous.
I would say I tend to rememberthe humorous ads more.
Oh yeah, for example, New YorkCity.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Get a rope.
Speaker 1 (00:26):

Speaker 2 (00:28):

with a big old, you know
mustache, get a rope, get a rope.

You're supposed to
say something.
I forgot, I got nothing.
I got nothing.
You're supposed to saysomething.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
I forgot.
Well, the funny thing is isthat we are extremely, as a
people, as a population, as aspecies, we are extremely
programmable.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Right, and that
brings us to our current subject
yes.
And I know that so much like asa songwriter too current subject
yes, and I know that so muchlike as a songwriter too, like
just when I would write songsand like especially being in the
room with, like, uh, big hitsongwriters and they would like
want to say something supernegative over and over again in
(02:18):
the chorus and I'm just like I'mnot fucking doing it, like I'm
not, I don't, I don't feel thatway.
So I'm not going to say thatfor myself, but also cause it
would be inauthentic.
But also I don't want somebodyrunning around the house singing
my song and it's like a totallynegative mantra over and over
again, you know, like all of mychoruses you know, like you
(02:43):
would talk about your struggleor whatever, but the choruses
are always about like overcomingor like you know something
that's positive, like I've got afire burning inside me.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Words are spells.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yes, words are spells
.
Words are spells, which is whyyou don't want to live on poor
street.
Old poor farm road Old poorfarm road, old poor farm road,
poverty lane when Mike and Iwere looking to buy a house.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
There's some funny
there's some funny street names
around here real nice houses,but on poverty lane like no
thanks no, who's buying thathouse?
All your mail, all your checksin the mail will come to poverty
lane.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Now, anyway, it's
like living in, like pedophile
lane, it's like, no, no, no, no,I don't want to be here no
thanks I haven't seen that one,no, but some.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
I have seen some
things, it's like you know.
Yeah, anyway, we can do it withthe at some point about funny
names on streets.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Well, let me pull
this back into our current
subject about being programmable.
Yeah.
And what type of programmingare you wanting to talk about
today?
The?
Speaker 1 (03:54):
programming we're
going to talk about today is
wealth, wisdom, and it's the 10money truths nobody taught you.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Money truths.
Let's do this.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Like what if the
reason you're struggling with
money isn't you, but what youwere taught about it, or rather
programmed?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Programmed Right Well
, today we are unpacking 10
powerful money truths nobodytaught us in school, but the
wealthiest people know andembody every day.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Right.
I mean money is more thannumbers.
It is an energy, it's a mirror,it's a teacher, right?
So when we fall in love withmoney, money falls in love with
us.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Money does fall in
love with us.
Oh yeah, money.
Bff, you've been listening tous.
In the past few episodes.
We have talked about this, buttoday, today, we're going to
dive deep into money truths,money myths and really give you
a deeper dive into wealth,wisdom.
Some of this you're going to belike, oh shit, so grab your
(04:56):
journal or notepad, or just pullup or pull out your notes app
on your phone.
This episode will help youshift your money story from fear
and confusion to clarity andempowerment Empowerment.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
All right.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Are you excited,
michael oh?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I'm so excited.
I'm so excited because we aregoing to get why we weren't
taught wealth in school.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Yeah, right, why.
I wonder why.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Well, because most
schools teach us how to work for
money, but not how to makemoney work for us, right.
So it creates a strong, steadyworkforce.
If everyone is working formoney and money's not working
for them, they're going tocontinue working for money.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Right.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
So, according to a
national financial educators
council survey stated that 76%of adults wish they had learned
personal finance in high school.
Right Just just, and thattypically is after the fact that
they've already made money.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Yeah, and I was like
maybe it changed.
And then when our daughter wasgoing to school, I was like,
have they taught you anythingabout, like you know, checking
accounts?
Like have they taught youanything about like credits and
debits, and also I feel like thealternative math options have
changed too.
School many, many, many yearsago they gave us the option of
(06:28):
like accounting and, like youknow, understanding numbers in
different ways.
You know economics, but likethere was options and it seems
like some of the options havealso gone away.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Well, that, and they
also brought in the new math.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Yeah, and then the
math changed.
I guess the old math didn'twork Anyway continue, continue.
But I had to tell her like, hey, you know here's I mean, I even
taught her how to write a checkbecause I was like, I don't
know, checks might not be athing in the future Probably not
, it's probably all going to bedigital.
But like, let's at least teachyou everything that is current.
(06:59):
At least a proper pattern, rightTo engage with money and to be
able to manage it, to be able tolook and be like oh yeah, this
is what's happening with mymoney.
Is my money working for me oram I just working for it and
then feeling scarcity aboutspending it?
Many of us have also inheritedfamily patterns like money
doesn't grow on trees or wantingmore is selfish.
(07:23):
Those are both in quotes.
Maybe swap those with whateveryou heard.
Those become subconsciouswealth blocks and our minds are
so programmable.
And if you don't believe me,this is why we were talking
about ads.
Just think for a moment.
Wherever you are, just pausefor a moment.
(07:44):
Wherever you are, just pausefor a moment and just think of,
especially if you're amillennial, a Gen X or a boomer.
Okay, Just think about what adsyou remember as a kid, Like
what were the most popular adson TV?
Um, you know, on the radio weheard a lot of ads that
(08:07):
generational span.
But if you're Gen Z or evenwhatever's after that, the new
ones.
The newest newbies, but ifyou're listening to us and
you're Gen Z, then my questionwould be what vines or trending
sounds on social were popularwhen you were a kid?
(08:29):
Or sounds or even cartoons,what were you being programmed
with?
So just think of like a coupleof things, and then what I want
to say is that all generationsthink of the songs that you've
heard on the radio, and nowthink of what lyrics you have
(08:51):
memorized for songs that maybeyou didn't even like, like I'm
too sexy for my cat.
Too sexy for my cat.
What you think about that Like.
Why do I know that?
I know that because it wasplayed so many times that I know
the lyrics to a song that Ididn't even like.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
I mean, who knows
what open garment style means.
But I can close my eyes and dothat dance right and be like
open garment style.
You know what I'm saying?
That's because we respond soquickly to programming.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yes.
So wealth isn't just strategyand understanding that this
whole programming thing issomething that you didn't have a
lot of control about.
But wealth is self-worth, it'snervous system, safety and it's
mindset.
So the programming we're goingto help you unravel a little bit
(09:50):
, and next we're going to talkabout the money myths.
So here are the 10 common moneymyths that often block
abundance, create fear aroundfinances or sabotage alignment.
Number one wanting more moneyis greedy or selfish.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
No, no, no.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
The truth is, money
amplifies your values.
When people have moneyconsciously, when conscious
people have money, they fundhealing, impact and generational
wealth, not just personal gain.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
I love that.
I like the fact that they'refunding healing, impact and
generational wealth which aregoing to continue to make money
for those younger generations.
Like that's beautiful.
Number two you have to workhard to make money right.
The truth is aligned.
Abundant wealth flows throughease, value and resonance, not
(10:50):
just hustle.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Number three I'm just
bad with money.
It's not my thing.
The truth is, financialintelligence is a learnable
skill.
Did you hear that?
You can learn.
Everybody can learn.
You weren't born knowing how tomanage wealth, but you can
remember and reclaim your poweraround it.
Just like you weren't bornknowing how to walk, but you
(11:12):
kept practicing and you didn'tgive up.
You kept going for it right.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
I like to believe
that if you weren't born rich,
you have the responsibility tobecome rich, right?
You can't just blame it onsomeone else.
You have the response to becomerich.
If you didn't come from money,money will come through you, All
right.
The fourth myth is it'sirresponsible to spend money on
desires or luxury.
The truth is that investing inpleasure, beauty and desire can
(11:43):
be a portal to expansion andprosperity when done with
intention, not avoidance.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Not avoidance.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Not avoidance, that
is a key honey.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
You don't want to
check out, you want to check in,
All right number five is don'twant to check out, you want to
check in, all right.
Number five is I'll feel safeand successful once I hit a
certain income.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
That's a myth.
Add your number.
That's a myth, yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
The truth is, safety
is an internal state, not an
external number.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Ooh, yes.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
So if you don't feel
safe now, more money won't fix
it Wherever you go there, youare right, so it'll amplify the
inner chaos.
That's what's so crazy.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Yeah, that's why you
see a lot of young, successful
people having just an amazingcome up and then they fall
victim to drugs and alcoholbecause all of a sudden they can
buy better drugs and buy betteralcohol.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
And also they just
realize oh shit, this didn't
make me happy.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
And let me start
filling the gaps and the holes
of where I didn't do theself-care and the work and the
avoidance.
That's the avoidance part.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
So number six Number
six this one's big Debt is
always bad Big time myth.
The truth is not all debt isequal right Strategic debt, like
investing in your growth oryour education or your business,
can be a powerful tool whenused wisely.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Or investing in your
health, for example.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Huge, exactly, huge
exactly.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Like you know, how
are you going to do all the
things if you're not healthy?
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Do I want to invest
in a gym membership or do I want
to invest in this new Jeep?
It's like, hmm, the Jeep willbe fun, but that gym membership
is going to make you strong andfocused.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Yeah, and maybe you
can invest in both, but like
just making sure that your debtsmake sense.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Priorities first, and
your health is always priority.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Yes, Number seven.
Making money means I'll losetime, freedom or relationships,
that's a myth.
That's a big myth.
The truth is aligned wealthexpands freedom when it's built
from soul, aligned strategysystems and sovereignty, not
people pleasing or selfabandonment.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Yeah, I like the
sovereignty part.
Yeah, you are your own islandand you can be self sustainable.
Most certainly Number eightspiritual people shouldn't care
about money.
That is a myth.
That's a myth.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Big old fat myth.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Yeah, the truth is
money is energy, right.
Denying it doesn't make youspiritual.
Circulating it with integritymakes you more powerful and
impactful, but your spiritualityhas nothing to do with money.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Right Number nine
there's not enough to go around.
So if I make too much then thatmeans you know my neighbor
doesn't have enough and that'sjust such a lie.
That's a lie.
The truth is, scarcity is thebiggest lie that we are told and
the biggest you know.
Bs myth out there.
(14:49):
The universe is abundant,there's more than enough for
everyone and there's no budgetfor each person.
You know you don't come in withlike, okay, this person can only
earn this much.
It's important for you to justtake your power back from that.
I feel like that's one of thelargest myths and it's
(15:11):
profoundly impactful whenprogrammed at a young age.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Oh, yeah, yeah
exactly.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
So there's more than
enough.
The truth is, when you expand,you create space for others to
rise to your abundance.
Does not take from anyone.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Number 10.
All right, making more moneywill change who I am.
That is a massive myth.
The truth is that money revealsand amplifies your true self
right.
So if you're generous, lovingand conscious now, more money
will only deepen those traits.
(15:49):
If you're greedy, you're justgoing to become more greedy.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Yep for sure.
So that's all 10.
Amazing, we got through all ofthose big fat lies that maybe
you were programmed with.
Let's get into the 10 moneytruths that nobody taught you.
Oh I like the truths.
This might be why you tuned intoday.
So let's get right into it,shall we?
Money is energy number one.
(16:17):
Money is energy, not just paper.
Wealthy people know money flowswhere there is alignment, value
and openness, and your beliefsand energy shape your financial
reality.
So you attract what you embody,not what you chase.
(16:41):
There's a lot of research onenergy and quantum physics that
backs up this strategy thistruth.
And there's a lot of patterning.
If you just look at thewealthiest people around you,
(17:02):
you'll notice some patterningwith alignment, value and
openness.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, most certainly Number two.
You get paid for value, nottime.
Right, trading time for dollarshas a ceiling on it.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Because there's only
a limited amount of time.
Oh yeah.
Right.
So obviously if you're justtrading time for dollars, you
don't have more time often togive, Because you've got to
sleep at some point.
You've got to sleep at somepoint, you got to eat at some
point.
You know, even if you'reworking three or four jobs, like
(17:40):
there is an end point on time.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Yes, on top of that,
if you work for someone else,
someone else is controlling theflow of your money.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
And the flow of your
money is the energetic flow of
your life.
So you are giving your power tosomeone else to siphon it.
Yep, right, wealth is built bycreating, by solving problems,
by serving value.
Those are purpose.
That's someone's purpose.
(18:11):
So when you get into thatpurpose, work.
That's where wealth reallycomes in, not trading your time
for money.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Yeah, you get paid
for your value.
Sometimes you get paid just foryour presence, Like if you are
a speaker or a coach.
You know, like people arepaying their perceived value of
you.
That's what we're talking about.
Like you know, you could bethere for 10 minutes, but
they're paying for your presence.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
The downside with
trading time for money with your
standard nine to five, is thatthat's only one stream of income
and according to ThomasCorley's rich habits study, 65%
of self-made millionaires haveat least three streams of income
(18:57):
.
Yep, right, yep.
So that's where the passivemoney also starts coming in.
So once you can get your moneyto work for you guess what
that's a stream of income.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Yep.
So number three is scarcity islearned.
Abundance though, is natural.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
And what we are
wanting you to sink into is the
remembrance, the remembrance ofwhere we are in the playing
field, that anything is possibleand that abundance is your
birthright.
Correct, most scarcity patternsare inherited and unconsciously
running the show.
Yeah, and they are somethingthat you were programmed with,
(19:40):
but abundance, like I said, isyour birthright when you align
with value creation andworthiness.
So, showing up and getting paid$10,000 to just be at an event,
do you feel worthy of that?
And if you don't, why?
Like there's nobody?
(20:01):
That's you in the entireuniverse, and so why are we
discounting ourselves?
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Perceived value.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Scarcity is just a
story, so abundance is your
natural state.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Exactly Going back to
your natural state.
Okay, number four receiving isa skill right.
If you resist receiving supportor compliments or payments, you
block your own abundance.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Yes.
I love that.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
You're saying yes,
but then at the last minute
you're like no, no, no, no, no,no, and then there it goes right
.
So wealth embodiment includespracticing the art of receiving.
You have to practice thatregularly.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
And it's that nervous
system reset that we talked
about on our show last week isthat you have to realize that in
rest is when you are receivingand that's just the way the
universe works.
So like your embodimentsometimes is literally resting.
Yeah.
So that you can attract thedownload or the offering from
(21:07):
the universe of like oh wow.
They really have beenmanifesting this thing for a
while.
I think they're ready for itbecause they've rested and their
nervous system is a matchNumber five.
Money management is greaterthan money amount.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
That is true.
That was a hard lesson to learn.
I'm like wait a minute what?
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Listen, you can earn
so much, and when I say earn a
lot of times, that's like youtrading time for money.
But even if you're manifestingand you're calling it in, you
can still stay broke if youdon't manage it.
That's correct, yeah, and Iwould say that once you overcome
some of your beginningprogramming, anybody can make
(21:55):
money, and that's not the hardpart, because you have great
leverage, especially if you camefrom no money.
You have great leverage to belike I'm going to fucking have
so much money.
But here's the thing.
Is that the second that youhave it, what are you doing with
it?
Where is it going?
Speaker 2 (22:11):
With your
relationship with it.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
yeah, yeah, so you
can still end up broke.
In fact, there's this factoidfrom National Endowment for
Financial Education that statesthat 70% of people who receive a
financial windfall lose itwithin a few years.
Oh yeah, so this is similar tous talking a couple weeks ago
about people who win the lottery, but the truth is is that
(22:35):
wealth management is is a bigdeal.
So again, money management isgreater than the money amount.
It's not just about how muchyou make, but how you keep
invest and circulate it.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
And don't forget,
investing can also be like
investing in experiences.
There's this great book that iscalled Die With Nothing, oh
yeah, and the point is that yourfuture self is not going to be
happy that they have a couplehundred thousand dollars in
(23:11):
their bank account when it'stime for them to check out.
The truth is, if it's beeninvested in family members or
it's been invested inexperiences, those are the
things that later in life,you're like God, I'm so glad I
took that trip with my family.
Oh, I'm so glad I invested inhealth, usually because later in
life, you might be succumbingto some type of ailment that you
(23:34):
didn't take care of 20 yearsprior, because you're like oh, I
don't want to spend the moneyon it.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Or you're in burnout.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Or you're in burnout
and you're like, oh, I don't
want to do those preventativeacupuncture appointments and
like that could have changed thetrajectory of your 20 year
later 80s lifestyle, you knowExactly.
So yeah, money management baby.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Speaking speaking of
investments.
That's number six.
Investing is essential, notoptional, right?
Wealthy people let money workfor them through investing like
real estate, like stocks,businesses and whatnot, instead
of only working for money.
Right?
So you need to have your moneyworking for you.
Yeah, like that's.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Yeah, and if you've
read any money books, you know
like Rich Dad, poor Dad, that'slike the gist of that entire
book, most certainly, you know.
And the gist that I just sharedabout like Die With Zero is
like Die With Zero, I thinkthat's what it is.
Anyway, I think I said Die WithNothing, but it's like Die With
Zero, I think that's what it is.
Anyway, I think I said Die WithNothing, but it's like Die With
(24:39):
Zero.
It is basically to fund yourexperiences and that those are
actual investments.
Anyway, we just ruined thosebooks for you, but if you want
to read these books those wouldbe two I would recommend, just
so that you can get into ahealthy place about money.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Reprogram.
That's how you reprogram.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Reprogram honey
Number seven is nervous system
safety, because it impactswealth.
So you've got to take care ofyour nervous system.
So if your body feels unsafeperiod, but also unsafe with
money, you may be sabotagingopportunities.
Wealth requires a regulatednervous system to receive and
(25:23):
hold abundance.
So like if you put your handout right now, wherever you are,
power, posse and it's a fist,there's no place for that money
to land right.
Somebody hands you a big stackof cash.
You have to have your hand opento hold it.
So when your nervous system istight, it's going to be like a
(25:46):
fist.
If your nervous system israttled, it's going to be like a
shaky fist.
It's never going to be open andaccepting and ready.
And if you just open your handand you think about the center
of your hand, your palm, you canfeel a little energy there.
That energy, when you have yourhand open, is going to
(26:10):
magnetize something to it,correct.
So unclench your fists whereveryou are, keep your hands open.
There's this other book aboutthe body keeping score and what
they reference is basically likeyour wealth needs to have that
(26:30):
regulated nervous system to bein full, abundant states.
Your wealth will only grow tothe level your nervous system
feels safe to hold.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
I love that and I
love the analogy that you meant
with the whole hand and all thatI also see like a cup right and
the bigger the cup, the moreyou can hold the more abundance.
So when you work on yourself,when you work on your nervous
system, you are going from aDixie cup to a large four cup
(27:03):
measuring cup, right.
And then you work on yourselfand you go for that large
measuring cup and you get acauldron right.
So the more you work onyourself, the more abundance you
are.
More you work on yourself, themore abundance you are
physically, mentally,spiritually able to hold.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
So that goes back to
number eight.
Right Boundaries are wealthprotection.
Yes, so boundaries with yourtime, your energy and your
spending protect your capacityto grow wealth without burnout.
Again, we are talking aboutthat vessel.
Right.
(27:43):
And that vessel, right, is goingto attract thirsty people,
Right?
So that's where your boundariescome in.
So, if you're making a bunch ofmoney but you're spending money
out because so many people arelike, oh I want some of your
money, I want some of your time,I want some of your
intellectual you know, I don'tknow all that stuff you are
creating leaks.
You have a couple of energyvampires.
So that's where your boundariesare going to come in.
Your boundaries are going toprotect your vessel.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Okay, awesome.
I think the other thing withboundaries is that the people
who are crossing your boundariesin your life right now are
actually your wealth stealers.
So just think about that interms of truths that nobody's
ever told you.
(28:26):
If you just frame it that theyare stealing your wealth because
they won't respect yourboundaries, you might look at
them and you might be willing toeliminate them from your life
faster, because if they don'trespect your boundaries, then
they don't respect your nervoussystem.
And if they don't respect yournervous system and your nervous
(28:48):
system is constantly havinghaving to defend itself or to be
challenged or oftentimes say no300 ways or say no and then
like a huge long statement ofwhy you're saying no, after all
of that is energy and it bringsus back to like number one,
(29:09):
where it's like money is justenergy, and so your nervous
system then is going to, insteadof being a magnet that draws
things to it, it's going to drawpotentially other people like
that.
So you start creating kind of awall around yourself where you
are no longer a match forabundance.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Yeah, and if this is
the first time listening to us,
we do a whole, I think two orthree episodes on boundaries
alone.
Yes, and how important it is,in all aspects of your life, to
include your finances.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Yep and number nine,
self-worth, sets your income
ceiling.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Ooh, that is so true.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Yes, wealthy people
know how to charge for their
value, not their fears.
Self-worth dictates what youbelieve you can receive.
You don't get what you deserve,right?
Yeah, you get what you believe.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
That is so so, so
true.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Going back to that
programming, like what did you
get programmed to believe?
Are you worth it?
You know like you're worth it.
You're worth it Exactly.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
And number 10, money
is a mirror and an amplifier,
right so money expands yourcurrent patterns and identity.
It's not good or bad.
It reveals your beliefs andvalues.
Right Again, that goes back tothe whole thing where, if you're
greedy, money is not going tochange that.
(30:38):
It's going to make you moregreedy, right so money doesn't
change who you are.
It amplifies who you are.
So, if you are a very generousperson, imagine how generous you
can be with more money.
Right.
If you're a caring person or ahealer, imagine how much impact
you can have with more money.
(31:00):
If you are an artist, right,who has the ability to heal
people through their craft, themore money you make, the more
you can actually expand yourreach.
So it's your responsibility tobecome rich.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
So money doesn't
change who you are, it amplifies
who you are.
You said right yeah, I lovethat, I love that so much.
All right, so that's number 10.
Now you have 10 myths and youhave 10 truths, so shall we play
a game.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
We should definitely
play a game.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Okay, so I want to.
It's going to be a quick anddirty Okay, myth or wealth
wisdom.
I'm going to say a phrase andyou will call out whether it's a
myth or wealth wisdom.
Got it Ready.
Okay, Quick dirty.
You're going to say myth orwealth wisdom.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Myth or wealth wisdom
?
Okay, got it.
Money is the root of all evil.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
Okay, got it.
Money is the root of all evil.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
That's a myth.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Okay, money expands
who you are.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
That's wisdom.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Mm-hmm.
You have to work hard for money.
Myth Money is energy.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
That's all wisdom.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Investing is risky,
big time, big time.
Myth Receiving is a skill.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Always a skill, and
that is 100% wisdom.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Yes, and so you must
learn the skill.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Must learn the skill
exactly.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
And they didn't teach
it to you.
And it's one of my favoritethings to teach and it's what I
know I wish every single schooltaught how to deal with money,
how to attract it, how to callit in.
Every myth you release rightnow or now or in the future
makes space for a new level ofwealth.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
I love that.
I love that, so do the work.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
So basically do the
work.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Do the work.
You're doing the work as youare listening.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Right, so here's a
little.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Reprogramming.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
A little Exactly, and
so to embody wealth wisdom in
containers, I like to teach areframing about limiting money
beliefs.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Oh nice.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
And here's how it
works.
I want you to identify a corebelief, so one of those, you
know, myths.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
basically, I have to
struggle to learn or struggle to
earn money.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
And then I want you
to flip it using a reframing
question.
So this is how you're going tounpack some of this story and
rewrite it, okay, so let's saythat one that you said.
Say it again.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
I have.
I have to struggle to earn.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Earning money is hard
.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
So what else could be
true?
Speaker 2 (33:43):
There could be other
truths out there.
Yeah, that's not the only truth.
That's a good question.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Yeah, and so you can
just write down.
What are the other truths?
If the myth is I have tostruggle to earn?
Speaker 2 (33:58):
I've also heard that
money comes easy.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Money comes easy to
me.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Right, so there's
other narratives that I can tap
into.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
There's always more
than enough.
What else could be true?
I mean, this is like the gamewhere you play.
Imagination comes into play,like what else could be true?
If that's a lie, then what elsecould be true?
So that's the first part offlipping it, and then you can do
the really dirty work thatpeople don't want to do, because
(34:26):
it requires you to visit thepast, uh-oh wound care.
Who taught me that?
And are they wealthy?
Ooh, care.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Who taught me that
and are they wealthy?
The people who taught me mymoney or my initial?
Speaker 1 (34:38):
I've changed since
then, but my initial money have
both passed away and they werenot wealthy at all, and so
here's what I always say in mysessions, and also it's like
what I live by I never takeadvice from those whose lives I
(35:03):
don't inspire to live.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Say that one more
time.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
I never take advice
from those whose lives I don't
aspire to live.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
So that would have
been so nice to hear when I was
cutting my way through school,elementary school, high school,
that whole bit.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
And the truth is, is
that, like for anything that
doesn't just go with money thatgoes with, like anything, like I
, I wouldn't take health advicefrom somebody who was unhealthy,
you know it's like well, wait aminute.
Like you know I, I want to takethe advice from those that are
unhealthy.
It's like well, wait a minute.
I want to take the advice fromthose that are walking their
talk and are living a life thatI am inspired by and aspire to
(35:43):
live myself.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Yeah, I'm not going
to take a love advice from
someone who is not successful intheir relationships.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
So that's pretty easy
, just reframing your limiting
money beliefs in that way.
And it's two questions Again.
It's what else could be true?
Who taught me that?
And are they wealthy?
Two questions.
And then what this does is itcreates new neural pathways
based on possibility, not onprogramming.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Possibility.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Possibility yes,
because the truth is is that we
are living in such an expansive,abundant universe, infinite
possibilities that there areinfinite possibilities, but we
allow the programming, oftensubconscious, to run the show
and then it runs us into theground.
Yeah, exactly, and maybe that'swhy you're tuning in Mm-hmm.
(36:32):
Get up, honey, I got.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
You Get up, I got you
Get up, we got this, we got you
, we got you.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
So what I'm going to
invite you to do is choose one
money truth to replace a moneylie and embody it this week.
Is it practicing receiving?
Is it setting a boundary?
Is it learning about investing?
Is it money management?
What are you going to do withthe 10 truths that we gave you?
Speaker 2 (36:59):
Exactly and see this
as a pathway.
Right, so it's not necessarilydestination.
You follow this pathway andwith every step you're going to
become more and more wealthy.
Right, there is no destination.
You just are going to be a morewealthy traveler.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
And if you don't have
a lot of money coming in and
you're just listening to this,maybe you're in some rebuild or
pivot or whatever.
Like romance, that shit youknow, Like that's part of your
come up story, Like get romanticwith it, Fall in love with how
you know exciting it is to be onthe precipice with this new
(37:37):
information.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
Yeah, if you're
sitting with no money in your
pocket, be excited that you havecontrast, and then you know
what it feels like to not havemoney.
So when you do have money, howdelicious is that going to feel.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
Yeah, and if you
don't have money, something's
going on with you.
So take the ownership, take theaccountability and do the work,
and we invite you to do thework in as fun, a playful way as
possible, because that's goingto radically attract money
faster for your nervous system.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
Alignment- I mean,
that's most of our clients are
are caught up in old patterningsbased on parents and money and
all that stuff, and it's it'sfun to watch them do a couple
things make investments.
I have what I have a clientwho's going to start his own
business soon, so it's like it'sgoing to be beautiful to watch
(38:33):
someone embody these truths andactually just float off into the
high heavens of wealth, rightyou?
Speaker 1 (38:40):
know what I mean.
This is the foundation.
Like, imagine building on thisfoundation when you're a kid, so
use these foundational truthsto build your fucking empire.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
Yeah, money
patterning.
It's all based off of awareness, right?
What you are aware of you canchange.
So one way to create moreawareness in your wealth is to
start tracking your spendingright.
Tracking your spending createswealth, awareness and awareness
creates choice, right?
(39:12):
So if you see that you'rebleeding money here and there,
like, oh my God, I didn'trealize I was bleeding that much
money.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
Yeah, and change that
language too.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
Exactly what it would
be like if you were to take
that money that was goingnowhere and invest it so that
it's going to start making youmoney.
That's where your money worksfor you, and you're not going to
realize that until you becomemore aware of what your money's
doing.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
This phrase gets said
so many times.
But the bleeding money what youjust said gets said so much in
it's programming, yeah, andbecause it's like programming,
and if you just think about thatphrase like bleeding money,
like I mean all of us wouldslice open a toe if we could
just bleed money Like that's aridiculous statement and it's
(39:57):
also like carries so muchnegative weight and it makes us
feel shame and like our wordsare so important when it comes
to like in coaching a lot.
It's just like just listeningto word usage tells you how the
emotion, how much emotion, istied up into something as as
(40:19):
like magical as money.
You know it's like like, whatare we doing here?
Like what, what battlefield arewe talking about here?
Speaker 2 (40:28):
I mean I would.
I would go so far as to saythat if you don't have a money
coach right, someone who cancoach you mentally, spiritually,
how to manage your relationshipto money you have to get a
coach immediately.
Yeah, I'm not talking about afinancial advisor.
I'm talking about mentallyopening up the pathways in your
(40:50):
body to allow more abundance tocome in.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
Right, because the
truth is you have to manage your
nervous system, you have tomanage your emotions, you have
to clear out some, some, youknow, inner conflicts.
Yeah, definitely heal somechildhood wounds, and all of
that is going to make you moreabundant ready, oh, yeah, and so
?
Speaker 2 (41:11):
Going to broaden your
, to broaden your money capacity
Right.
Speaker 1 (41:15):
Yeah, because wealth
is wisdom in action.
I love that.
Wealth is wisdom in action,honey.
Speaker 2 (41:25):
Well, money is one of
the greatest personal growth
teachers you will ever have.
Speaker 1 (41:30):
Yeah, especially
since it rules the society so
much.
I totally agree with that.
So, yeah, get into a coach.
Mike and I both have aapplication If you are
interested.
If there's space, we will jumpon a discovery call with you and
we would love to help you withyour money conversations,
(41:50):
rewrite your money story and somany other things that we do.
But it is a really fun thing tohelp people reprogram that part
of their life.
We hope that this served you somuch love and gave you a new
reframing exercise to try.
You can also use that tojournal and you can check in
with yourself quarterly.
(42:10):
That's a fun one.
It's like what's happening withthis conversation that I'm
having about money.
Especially if things are notcoming as fast as you would like
them to, there's an internaldialogue that is writing your
chapters for you.
Don't let that happen.
Speaker 2 (42:28):
Well, I'm not sure if
you said this before, but I
agree wealth embodiment is adaily practice, right?
It's not a one-time event,right?
So, if you don't have a coach,get a coach, yep, and get one
only when you are ready toreally level up.
Speaker 1 (42:44):
When you're ready to
do the work.
Speaker 2 (42:45):
yeah, Because there
is going to be some work.
Speaker 1 (42:47):
Yeah, and otherwise
you'll just waste time and
energy.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
And money.
Speaker 1 (42:51):
And also money.
And then be ready to do somework and hopefully, whoever you
work with, they know how to makeit fun and to help you get
progress quickly, becauseprogress it really does equal a
lot of happiness.
Speaker 2 (43:09):
Oh yeah, Most
certainly.
Speaker 1 (43:10):
Sending you the
highest vibrations.
Speaker 2 (43:12):
You are held.
You are loved.
Speaker 1 (43:20):
So it's not often
that I have cash on me, but
sometimes I have cash on me,right Because?
Speaker 2 (43:27):
I don't have a cash
business and we live in a credit
card world and digital world,exactly and also.
Speaker 1 (43:41):
I would just say like
I'm not going to the bank,
being like let me have a wholebunch of money out, but I always
have a stack of hundreds forenergy purposes because of the
sensation of having it runthrough my fingers.
And the other day I was likeput this in your hand and I like
had the whole family puttingputting the the a hundred dollar
bills in their hand and justcounting money, smelling it and
hearing it.
And um, because we are in such adigital world we forget how
(44:05):
important it is for visceraltouch and for visceral um, the
sensations that you feel.
You know you engaging thesenses and you know you can do a
lot of visualizations with.
You know your whatever you have, like your Stripe account, or
like you know Kajabi for me orlike whatever.
(44:26):
You can see the numbers goingup.
You know you can have that goaland that visualization.
Or you can see your bankaccount numbers going up.
You know that's fun and all.
But like you know what are youtouching your phone, your
computer, your keyboard.
You know like there's.
It's a different sensation.
So if you have abundance inyour life right now, go pull out
(44:49):
a thousand dollars, just keepit on.
You Keep playing with it, takesome photos with it, just have
fun with it.
It is really just kind of silly, because we're all playing with
monopoly money, that it carriesso much weight in the US
economy, but it is also reallysilly.
Can we just be playful with it?
Speaker 2 (45:13):
Here's what I would
suggest you do Grab your loved
one.
No, no, before you grab yourloved one, go to the bank and
pull out $1,000, $1,001 bills.
Make sure they're brand new.
They have to be brand new.
Take that $1,000 and spread itall over your bed, toss your
partner down and see whathappens.
(45:34):
Just see what happens.
Just see what it's like to rollin abundance with your loved
one, right?
Maybe you'll have awesomedreams.
Maybe you will have, you know,a tremendous amount of kids, and
all these kids are going to belike CEOs and bankers and, you
know, hedge fund managers, right, that's funny.
(45:54):
Maybe you just need to rollaround in the energy and
abundance just to get the tasteof it.
And I remember one of my firstceremonies that I ever did was
taught by my granny, right?
I graduated college and I waslike, okay, I'm going to go out
(46:15):
and start looking for jobs.
And I had a new suit.
She bought me a new suit.
She was all proud of me.
And she's like okay, mike,every time you go in for an
interview, just before you sitdown, have like a dollar bill in
your pocket and smell it.
Just smell money, right, justsmell it.
Put it back in your pocket andgo into your interview.
And I did that and every time Idid that I got the job that I
(46:38):
wanted.
Speaker 1 (46:39):
Was it $1 or was it
lots of dollars?
Speaker 2 (46:42):
It could be any, it's
just money.
It's just the smell of money.
It could be a $20 bill it couldbe a $100 bill.
Not pennies.
No, not quarters.
Pennies have a stank right yeahyou don't want to walk in with
your, you know a big old.
Speaker 1 (46:54):
Your pants are all
sagging.
The janitor sound.
Speaker 2 (46:58):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (46:59):
The keys are pennies.
Speaker 2 (47:02):
And the laying down
on the bed of money only works
with new dollar bills.
You don't want to lay on oldgross money, you know, because
there's weird energy in money.
I like my money nice and clean.
Speaker 1 (47:14):
You want crisp.
I like the crispness.
You want it just to be printed.
Speaker 2 (47:17):
Like crispness and
bills only Quarters, pennies,
nickels.
No, no, no no, that's going toleave bruises.
Yeah, you know what I mean.
It's going to stain your sheets.
You may get like nickel, youknow intoxication.
But dollar bills, good times.
Dollar, dollar bills, y'all.
(47:37):
Yeah, see, that's programming.
Have yourself your own indecentproposal just give yourself a
million dollars play some sadesleep with me yeah, we're gonna
have a good time.
Speaker 1 (47:48):
Actually, that's a
good time, I'm gonna you're
gonna pull out a million dollarsand I'm not gonna be that going
to pull out a million dollarsand.
Oh.
I'm not going to be able toPropose to me.
Speaker 2 (47:55):
A million dollars.
Speaker 1 (47:56):
Make it indecent
proposal.
Speaker 2 (47:59):
It wouldn't be a
million one dollar bills.
Speaker 1 (48:01):
No, no, no.
Speaker 2 (48:02):
Because that would.
Speaker 1 (48:03):
Not a million one
dollar bills.
We'd just be swimming in it.
Have a four.
Speaker 2 (48:10):
That might become a
fire risk.
Speaker 1 (48:13):
No, don't lit the
candles.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No See, isn't it funny howmovies, media, media programs us
