Welcome back to another Happy Snack at Noon! This is our weekly program where we talk about The 6 Figure Academy and how it can help you work on your bad money stories and eliminate those money blocks so that you can increase your money flow, optimize your mindset, and create life mastery.
In today’s Happy Snack, we’re going to talk about being a money-saving expert or hiring a money-saving expert as a way to change our money circumstances. In reality, the desire to learn from a money-saving expert or for you to become a money-saving expert could be the very reason why you are stuck financially. The secret to unlocking your challenges with money lies within the phrase “money saving expert.” I’ll give you a hint: it’s not “money” and it’s not “expert.” It’s SAVING.
There’s this interesting phenomenon that happens when we grow up and become adults and learn the concept of “saving.” Every single one of us has a relatable story or circumstance on what it actually means to save money. For example, let me bring up the phrase “saving for a rainy day.” I like rain, but metaphorically, most of us refer to a rainy day as a day that is undesirable, where something bad might happen. This phrase basically means we are saving money just in case something bad happens.
The interesting thing is most of the time when bad things happen to us in our lives, it is co-created by decisions that we’ve made. There is a butterfly effect in the decisions that we make leading up to the bad day because we want to take responsibility for everything that happens to us. In other words, if you’re “saving money for a rainy day,” you’ve basically attached a purpose for that money to only be spent when negative things happen versus saving money for a prosperous future.
I know for me personally, I never understood what the “just in case” meant. I asked my parents one time and they gave me these horrific worst-case scenarios about going to the hospital, having to pay for the ER, or paying lots of money to keep someone from the brink of death.
What I think we need to ask ourselves is “Well, what are we saving money for? Is it saving money to avoid something or saving money for something?” Being a money-saving expert or hiring a money-saving expert is not necessarily the solution to helping you resolve your financial problems or eliminate your money blocks because you could hire the wrong money-saving expert! They could be driven by a negative story on why to save money, which in turn can get in the way of your money prosperity. We see this a lot in The 6 Figure Academy: people try to hire or become a money-saving expert first without resolving the bad money stories that lie underneath, and this can result in an inability to save money.
Resolving these bad money stories first will help you then have a different perspective on why you want to become a money-saving expert, because then you are actually saving money as a way to invest in a future lifestyle that you actually want as opposed to avoiding adversity or something that’s uncomfortable.
We’d love to hear your thoughts about this idea of being a “money-saving expert.” Hopefully, you enjoyed this Happy Snack at Noon! Tune in next week for another “snack.” Have a fantastic week!
