Many people are often influenced by their net worth and self worth; however, successful entrepreneurs have the way to link between them. 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.

Money Coach refers a term called “Bankish”, which means the language from bankers. The message behind “Bankish” is to pass power to other bank for financial advice.

Many entrepreneurs get confused when money comes into their lives. Buffel will help entrepreneurs to clear the money fog and work towards develop peace of mind for entrepreneurs.

Buffel emphasizes the word “budget” can be a bad word for many entrepreneurs. Budget connects to scarcity, which gives an end feeling towards their goals. Spending and saving plan can be abundance. Successful entrepreneurs will have mindful spending habits, living within their means. If there is a way to pay down debt faster for entrepreneurs, they can save their ways to their goals.

“Taking control of you money”

Many entrepreneurs use the traditional method of saving. The traditional method is to deposit all income into cheque accounts and transfer the funds to the debt. Afterwards, the remaining will consider to be their saving amount.

Buffel believes entrepreneurs should setup an automatic system. Buffel wants entrepreneurs to remember the number one rule to help them receive balance financial lifestyle.

Number one rule: Income = Spending + Saving

The sum of spending and saving should be equal to the income. Income can come from employment, child benefit, rental income or investments. Spending comes from the monthly fixed and variable expenses. This also includes any debt repayment. Saving is for fixed annual bills and irregular variable expenses. However, this is also the section to include goals and dreams.

People get used to be in debt. In long term, people will pay more interests. Buffel believes it is possible to save even if entrepreneurs have debts as long as there is a system. Buffel wants entrepreneurs to put debt elimination as their number one priority. The key is systemic payment plan and this key will ensure entrepreneurs to get off the “never ever” plan.

Entrepreneurs should set a deb free date. Buffel mentions entrepreneurs should always look for ways to reduce the interests. Entrepreneurs should also determine their monthly payment amount. Entrepreneurs can automate that amount monthly.

Plan for the goals

Buffel illustrates a simple calculation to determine the monthly amount requires to achieve goals.

Cost of the goal / the number of months to reach the goal

Entrepreneurs should prioritize the goals and make them as fixed costs. Entrepreneurs should always pay themselves first. Moreover, they will be able to bridge the budget to their lifestyle.

Cash flow management for success

Buffel revels the simple system for entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs need to create 4 major categories: monthly spending, fixed monthly expenses, annual lump spending, and long term savings goals.

The monthly spending category should includes the daily necessities, such as groceries, cleaning supplies, traveling, entertainment, and dine out. The fixed monthly expenses include rent, insurance, property upkeep, utilities, lease and other insurance payments. The annual lump spending should include irregular annual fees, such as property taxes and insurance, subscription, membership, maintenance and other annual fees. Lastly, the long term saving goals should include be retirement, investment, eduction and other emergency fund.

All the dream goals should be under the category of annual lump spending. Clarity is important and entrepreneurs need to allow the system to automate the transfer to each different categories. The system should adjust based on the income flow.

Buffel suggests entrepreneurs to breakdown all the categories. This will help entrepreneurs to keep track of their financial situation. Moreover, it gives them the permission to spend and save. Resistance is fertile; therefore, entrepreneurs need to change their confidence in their spending habits. Entrepreneurs should allow themselves to take control and force to take action.

The system will create attention for entrepreneurs to aware their finance life.
