Money Is Your Friend

One of the things I've been helping my clients with is generating more money in their lives. One of the challenges I'm finding is that the clients who say they're broke and have no more money, don't realize they actually have a current relationship with money, and that relationship with money is not good, which is why they don't have any.

One of the ways I suggest you get clear about what your relationship with money is is to write a letter. I learned this from Jen Sincero and her book, "You Are a Badass at Making Money." She talks about writing money a letter to clarify your relationship with it, and she's right. A lot of people feel this is super helpful, and it gives them clarity around where they are with money and helps them see how they can improve their relationship with money going forward. I'll give you the example of the letter I wrote doing this exercise, and hopefully, it can help you do the same in writing your letter to get clear on what your relationship is with money and how you can generate more of it in your life. Here you go; my letter is:

Dear Money,

I know we haven't really spoken in the past, but I would like to start to have a relationship with you now if you would have me. I know in the past I haven't respected you in the way you should be respected. I didn't know how much you could help me, or even really understand how to create you, or much more of you. But I'm at the point in my life where now I get it; now I know how much you can help me, and I know how to create more of you in my life. I know how much money I have has nothing to do with you; it's about me. I know I was blocking you, and now I realize you were easy to make, and there's plenty of you to go around. Thank you for giving me a chance to come into my life in a much larger way. I know once you do, you won't regret it, and we are going to have a happy, fulfilled life together.

With love and respect,

Robert

I hope this is an example of how you will write your letter, which may not be as lovely as mine. It may be more resentful, it may be, "I hate you," it may be, "I disrespect you," whatever it is. As long as it helps you get clear about where you are, then you can figure out where you want to go. I hope this is helpful, and I don't ask you to accept or reject what I'm saying; I just ask that you check it out. Thanks.
