I want to create a space to share my first attempt at publishing a book. Excerpts will be taken directly from the material. Please forgive some of the imperfections in its construction. I am working on two new unrelated books where the content is less heavy and condensed, making them lighter reads for most audiences. Excerpt 1 is from the forward of the book.
This material is being put to paper in an attempt to help you identify your financial personality type and use that information to inform your financial future. This is important because I have seen the struggles that people have when it comes to the topic of money, and how these struggles permeate our financial world. Rather than being able to make rational and prudent financial choices, we tend to get caught up in the emotional reactivity of how we have experienced money in the past.
Too often we allow our past experiences to determine our future. Unfortunately, this occurs in every aspect of our lives. Our view of money, especially, is the result of dark shadows that have cast negative views on our financial future, dimming the excitement we might otherwise feel. Often this can give us a love/hate relationship with money. These struggles can create in us a belief that money is elusive: something that is hard to obtain and hard to hold on to. If we maintain this belief, how will our relationship with money change? Through this material I hope to help each of you evaluate where you are financially, decide where you want to be, and start moving in that direction. No more sitting on the financial sidelines. It is time to get into the game.
