Are you ready for a breakthrough in your finances and creating a whole new relationship to money and finances for less stress, freedom and happiness?

I have found a common theme working with my clients to create a breakthrough in their finances and that is they do not have a clear picture of what is coming in and what is going out and what is left over at the end of the month.  They just do not pay attention to their financial situation however they want to be in a better financial position.  Here's the question.  If something that they want is a better financial position, why are they not focused on their finances?

I read this quote this morning and I thought “That is a nice quote” it inspired me about getting another chance to win or do better the next time. Then I though wait a second. In the overall game of life there is no second chance. Add a comment

Headlines are history in the making. "Home prices are down the most since..., sales are down this month x% since... "this is the greatest decline in the financial markets since the depression" are just a few examples of what the media is creating as the reality of today and the history of tomorrow.

There was something that I wanted to do for various great reasons but did not do. Why do we choose sometimes to not do something that is important to us? Why do we procrastinate? I can only share my thoughts on it and a great way to, as Nike says, "Just Do it". Add a comment

Don’t stare.  Don’t sing at the table.  Don’t make too much noise.  Don’t, don’t, don’t.

We grew up with so many rules in our lives.  These rules may have been appropriate at a certain age or time of our life, and may have served an intended purpose of protection, or maybe just upheld the values of our parents, or a judicious teacher.  However, as adults, we may be held back significantly in our life’s progress by the long-term effects of these rules.

I was flying into Toronto this past weekend on Porter Air, which is a relatively new short-haul airline. I have seen a lot of advertising about the company, and have also heard that it is a great experience to fly with them. Well, the rumours were accurate. It is an amazing experience to fly with Porter. So much so, that it had me thinking. Why can they do it better than the rest of their competitors that are out there?
