Is making money a worthy goal

‘The lack of money is the root of all evil’ George Bernard Shaw

Just recently I attended a two day workshop on ‘coaching mastery’ with Michael Neill (www.geniuscatalyst.com). ,

During the second day, when talking about building your business, one of the questions that Michael asked was “Is making money a worthy goal?”

As I’m just putting the finishing touches to my new book ‘Transform your finances in 30 days’, this question of money being a worthy goal is one I’m familiar with.

One of the principal reasons that people have issues with money is because they have mixed emotions about it. In some ways it makes them feel good and in other ways it makes them feel bad.

The result of this is that they can find themselves experiencing mixed results, which can show up in many ways, for example:

Money being a source of worrying and anxiety

Pretending money’s not important

Undervaluing yourself

Doing things for money and not for love

Believing in scarcity of money

So if these kinds of things could be eliminated what would you like instead?

Apart from the obvious – unlimited money, never having to work again and being fed delicious food by gorgeous naked servants – I guess many people would choose things like greater security, freedom and peace of mind.

The fascinating thing is that when you think about it you don’t actually need money to experience these things. That’s just an illusion. The truth is that you can feel however you like, whenever you like – if you allow yourself to.

One of life’s many paradoxes is that things gravitate towards you when you cease to need them.

For example, when you’re in a relationship or married isn’t that when other people find you most attractive? When you don’t need the money (or act as if you don’t) doesn’t it seem to become more plentiful?

When we get all parts of us aligned and going in the same direction then progress becomes easy, sometimes even effortless.

Use this affirmation as a way of creating certainty about money being a worthy goal in your life.

Is making (how much money, in what time frame, for what purpose?) a worthy goal?

For example ‘is making a million pounds over the next five years by following my passion so I can provide my family with a wonderful life a worthy goal?’

Create your version until you have found the amount of money, time frame and purpose that makes making money a worthy goal for you.
