The “Rich From the Inside Out” series invites Brenda St. Louis, the Certified Money Coach, to share a special technique that can help entrepreneurs to explore their concepts of scarcity, abundance and how much is enough. Entrepreneurs usually associate their relationship of shame, guilt, and self-worth with money. In addition, this presentation will help entrepreneurs to release these money blocks and discover their money shadows.

Brenda St. Louis is one of the Certified Money Coach from Money Coaches Training Institute. Louis has over many years of experience to help many entrepreneurs to explore their relationship with money. Louis always believe by tapping to entrepreneurs’ limitation can seek opportunities, discover awareness, and expand strategies to change. Her role is to help entrepreneurs to be more confidence and happy towards money.

The brain is amazing because the number one job of the brain is to keep people safe. It can remember the pain and experience. However, pain can lead by manipulation, which can associate or trigger unconscious emotions that can influence people’s standard and beliefs. Louis believes brain associate with pain, especially with money. Based on statistic, 15% of entrepreneurs’ brain is conscious and 85% is unconscious. Unconscious programming is a million times more powerful than conscious programming. If entrepreneurs can overcome the unconscious part of the brain, they can overcome their money blocks.

Brain is a pattern maker. Louis believes once entrepreneurs release their unconscious mind, clarity will show up and money will also show up.

Tapping

Louis introduces a mind-body technique called “Tapping”. This technique is to help entrepreneurs to release emotional blocks in their nervous system. It opens up the acupressure points in our body. The function behind Tapping technique is to disconnect the negative thoughts and the automatic body reactions.

There are 10 major tapping points.

• Karate chop
• Top of head
• Eyebrow
• Side of eye
• Under the eye
• Under the nose
• Chin
• Collarbone
• Sore spot
• Under arm

By tapping to these points in our body, it will open up the channel to disconnect any body reaction. It sends electric shock and shift the nerve system. While entrepreneurs are tapping the points, they will need to rehearse scripts. The scripts will help entrepreneurs to be more receptive. Entrepreneurs are suggested to tap 4 to 8 times per each point. Each tapping session will help entrepreneurs to amplify the feeling towards money. As the feeling gets stronger, entrepreneurs will discover the underline problem that are hiding in their money blocks.

Louis believes it is important to start with script for negative money blocks. The script will manipulate entrepreneurs’ feeling and desire about their money blocks. As the process continues, entrepreneurs will switch to positive script, which can repattern the brain.

“Ensure you are running the show, not the brain”

In the presentation, Louis demonstrates some case studies that helps entrepreneurs discover the underneath message or questions behind their money problems during the tapping process.

Case study #1: Never enough

Many entrepreneurs create happiness with money, but it can only sustain up to a certain point. In order to continue, entrepreneurs need to contribute. Contribution leads to happiness. Entrepreneurs never taught the meaning of what is enough. Entrepreneurs need to discover the feeling associate to the question “what is enough”. The feeling and drive that links towards that question will show the link that associate with money.

The underneath question behind “what is enough” is “what is blocking the job with money”.

Case study #2: Meaning of money

Entrepreneurs associate money with power and significance. Entrepreneurs need to ask themselves how powerful it is, what is based on and what is the underline belief that associate with power. Entrepreneurs need to explore the meaning of money. Many entrepreneurs are lost with money’s purpose and it is important to acknowledge it.

Perhaps the underline message behind the meaning of money is to personify the money’s relationship.

Case study #3: Never had any

Entrepreneurs associate their past relationship with money with current situation. To change the current relationship requires acknowledge the feeling from the past. The past experience will trigger body motion and nerve system. When entrepreneurs are lacking focus, they are allowing their past experience lead their beliefs. Moreover, it is important to honour or recognize the past, but not tie it with the present. Entrepreneurs are afraid to step forward to new challenge because of the past makes up the story. In addition, entrepreneurs should create their own story and do not let their past because the story.
