WEDNESDAY WISDOM – June 18, 2008 Noon CST

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
- Our Relationship with Money -

Money is an emotional topic for most people. Everyone grows up with deep-rooted beliefs about money; and these beliefs affect us in a multitude of ways. I’m betting you’re like the majority of us – as children, the subject was taboo while we were around  the adults. And sadly, that’s how we continue to treat the topic of our personal finances with our own children – we don’t talk about money in front of them.

I’m here to encourage you to break that chain of silence and let’s start that conversation with those around us! Truly - it’s not a dirty subject!

Very few people have been fortunate enough to have some great mentors. Most of us learn as we go; and believe me, we’re making a lot of mistakes along the way. Wouldn’t it be great if there was a way to share our knowledge with others? Well now there is!  Come join me on this month’s Wednesday Wisdom call and let’s talk about The Good, the Bad and the Ugly – our Relationship with Money.

This call is not about beating you up because you’re in debt or can’t seem to get ahead. It’s about helping you understand what your beliefs and attitudes are about money – and how those beliefs get in the way of your financial well-being. With the direction the economy is going and the alarming statistics about the debt burden Americans are accumulating, it’s time to get this topic out on the table.

Did you know that, on average, every American household has approximately $87.000 in consumer debt? Get this: according to a 2005 survey through Oppenheimer Funds, 97% of Baby Boomers are not prepared financially for retirement.

If you fit somewhere among these statistics, obviously, you’re not alone! 

So what are the other 3% doing RIGHT?  If you’re ready for a change in your financial “attitude” then join me on this month’s Wednesday Wisdom call – June 18th at Noon CST.   And if you can’t make the call – register anyway to receive the F ree bonuses. The call will be recorded for later playback and you’ll still get the bonuses – but only if you register.

Do you have a belief there is “not enough” in your life? Are you perhaps wondering how you’ll find any extra money to begin a savings program? Or how you can accelerate the one you have?  How would you be different if you could come from a feeling of prosperity in all that you do?

Fellow coach, Kim Pichot of Complete Success, will join me in a fun, mind-altering discussion about Our Relationship With Money

You can choose to have a healthy attitude about money. In this F’REE monthly call, we will talk about moving from a debt-ridden lifestyle to a life of financial freedom:
