Money & Relationships

As time get more challenging for many, often the pressure of financial challenges come to bear on ones relationship with our partners. In the past I have personally experienced this and I have and still see it in others I meet.

Money has a habit of magnifying problems that may exist in a relationship-  particularly those relationships where a couple manages to "get buy" when times are good and when money they earn creates a comfort. Moving to a bigger home, buying a new car, TV or buying "something" to create a short term distraction from the real issues that sit in the relationship. However, when the finances get tighter, and such distractions cannot be "bought" then the real pain sets in.

Many of you know I have a passion for helping people not only in creating financial security, but also in getting a balance in their whole life - which most definitely includes your relationship. For those who read this and have an inner sense that maybe their current financial situation is creating or magnifying an issue in your relationship then it is vital that you address it now.

How do you do that?

It starts with an quite reflection on the fact that you are with your partner because you love them. Then an aapproach that needs to be open and non confrontational. A soft and honest aapproach where you let your partner know that you have been feeling a sense of unease between you in this area.

Ask them what concerns they have?

Ask them which area are they most worried about with regards to your financial situation?

Ask them what would they ideally want to see happen in order for them to relax and connect more with you?

This is a very sensitive subject but one that must not be avoided. Truth is, if you avoid it and the relationship goes sour and you part company. You will both carry the same patterns of behavior into your next relationship. Hence the importance of addressing it now and reconnecting with what you love about that person.

Heart Magic - Kevin Green Talks on Invesments & The Heart

During the wealth intelligence Academy conference last weekend, one of the speakers was Kevin Green an old friend of mine and a very successful property investor who has built a multi-million pound portfolio from nothing over a period of seven years. The reason I am sharing this is because I thought that the subject that he chose was particularly pertinent in the current climate.

Kevin talked about investing mindset and addressed this from a completely different perspective than most people were expecting. He talked about using your intuition, using your gut instinct, and more specifically following your heart when making your final decisions as a property investor.

For many this may seem like an alien approach to investing particularly as much of our teaching is about identifying the opportunity, crunching the numbers and treating it as a business rather than an emotional decision. However the point that Kevin made was that simply chasing the money is not the right approach to making a decision when reviewing, for example, a property investment. He talked about how many of his big financial decisions are based from an inner feeling, which many people may call intuition.

As most of you know this is something I am very passionate about and it was fantastic to see Kevin explaining this approach in a number of contexts. For example when viewing a property, he talked about how important it is to walk into the property and pick up on your initial reaction to the feeling you have about that property. If you have a sense that something is not quite right, you must reflect on that feeling and before making a final decision check in to see if that feeling is still strong. In some cases their can be events that happen in a property and the negative energy that is associated with that event can remain in and around the property for years to come. Kevin also eluded to this, and I have personally experienced this when viewing some properties. In fact, I've experienced in property that once lived in.

This may all sound a little outside of the normal box of thinking, however most successful people when asked about decisions that they make referr to the gut intuitive instincts that they have. Do not ignore this and if it is strong and the message is to not make the investment, then it may be better to walk away.

A Night At the Gala

Greetings on this extremely cold February morning. I have just returned from a very enjoyable weekend, part of which was spent at the wealth intelligence Academy Gala and conference in London.

On Friday night I was privileged enough to be sat with some fantastic individuals such as Gill fielding (secret millionaire), Duncan Bannatyne (Dragons Den) and some other very highly successful individuals such as Kevin Green one of Wales most successful property investors.

The Gala dinner was a thoroughly enjoyable experience where over £85,000 was raised on the evening for the Make a Wish Foundation in the form of an auction. For me the remaining part of the evening was very touching as it gave me a chance to catch up a meet many of the previous students and clients who have taught over the years as a professional speaker in the field of wealth creation.

I wanted to personally thank those of you who came up and express your gratitude for being inspired and for expressing the the life changing experiences you went through during the three or four days that you spent with me at one of my seminars. Over the years people ask me why I continue to speak in public on this subject and it is experiences such as Friday night and meeting people who I have taught that make it all worthwhile. So again, I'd like to thank each and everyone of you and your kind words.

What was more inspiring than anything for me was to hear some of the stories of people who have started with nothing gone to achieve great levels of success. The tales of success have been anything from simply adding an additional income to the household to completely becoming free of their own personal rat race. Others include overcoming major health challenges and losses in the family and with negative surroundings have still achieved their dream of replacing their income or helping other people within the family.

The message is clear each everyone of us have the ability to achieve the dreams we set out as long as we are persistent and surround ourselves with the right people.
