¶ Rejected for Speaking My Truth
Welcome to Let it Be Easy with Susie Moore . Let's talk about the time I was rejected by the media for saying what I really feel . Now I was being interviewed by a prestigious financial publication as a life coach who works with many people , and they were asking about money . Now there are plenty of finance experts out there . There are endless apps .
If you're looking for finance advice , you will not find a shortage . Free videos , free podcasts I mean , it's endless . You can find strategy , insights , rules , books more than you could ever even consume in your lifetime .
But during this interview , the reporter was asking me very practical , especially as a life coach now with a thriving business which I'm so , so proud of . She was asking me a lot of kind of money specifics which I'm happy to go into and share .
But what I really wanted to convey most strongly is the fact that it's not about the money itself , it's not about the stuff , it's not the number on the screen , aka the money in the bank , that determines your prosperity
¶ Money vs. Relationship to Money
. So if you've known me on my work for a long time , you'll know that I grew up with very , very little living in domestic violence , shelters and government housing on welfare , living on donations and hand-me-downs and having a lot of embarrassment around that as a kid , and so now being able to have had a great , successful career in tech , now having my own
business , which I love so much . What I wanted to convey was it's not the money in the bank , or it's not the salary that the bank right , or it's not the salary that you have , it's not your annual income . That's the thing .
Of course it matters , it's there and everyone earns something and hopefully you know we're able to invest a little , save a little , spend on things that matter to us . But I said , you know really what I want to talk about when it comes to money isn't the nuts bolts , isn't the advice , because it's . I mean , there's already incredible advice out there .
Follow Farnoosh Tarabi , my incredible friend and finance expert for all things money . I do , but I have to say what really matters is your relationship to money . That is what counts , because I can tell you this when I was 22 years old , going through a divorce , I had around seven or $800 in the bank and I can tell you I felt rich .
I felt rich because I was able to put a small deposit on an apartment . So I had seven or 800 after I did that and I had enough
¶ When Will It Be Enough?
to see me through the week into my next paycheck , maybe even save a couple of hundred bucks . That feeling of okay , this is my starting point . I will give thanks for this . There's only going to be more is what created a cool career for me , is what created this business .
It's never the amount , because if I look at even some of my friends , or if I look at the Forbes 100 rich list , I've got I'm very humble over here . But if I look at my earnings , if I look at that as my form of value or if I look at that as something that's fixed , what you have in the bank is already old news . That's how I think about it .
And even if I lost everything say it happened I know I could rebuild because I know what to do , I know how I am , I know who I am and I know what's inside of me Meaning . Yes , it's nice to have money in the stock market . Yes , it's nice to have a lump sum . Yes , it's nice to own your house , if that's what you value .
But what I value most is my relationship to all things , and my relationship with money is a healthy one because I welcome it . I know it can be a huge source for good . I know it's great fun making it and there are so many endless ways
¶ Foundation for Attracting More
with which to do that and then make decisions based on that , based on okay , you're in a position of financial wellness . Now what , my friends ? What if it's not the money in the bank ? I can tell you this it never feels like enough , right ? You save X , you save Y , you save Z , you hit a milestone . Then you go . I just need a little bit more .
Don't you remember that scene in Breaking Bad ? It's one of my favorites , when Skylar , his wife , lifts up like a top , a blue top , because they've got money in a storage container and it's just cash , cash , cash , cash piled fully . Don't even know how much there is it's millions , clearly and she says to him when will it be enough ?
This , to me , is a sense of madness . Right , having enough is a decision that we get to make , but , more importantly than the amount , someone will always have more , a lot more , I assure you . What if money ?
How we feel about money , our sense of prosperity , our feeling of being rich isn't the money in the bank , it's about our relationship to it , to it and to ourselves . My friends , my very first job in a bakery when I was 14 , earning two pounds an hour , which is around $2.50 US , I felt rich .
I could buy myself a pair of jeans , buy myself a mascara at the local pharmacy . What if the feeling of prosperity is all that counts , your relationship to what you currently have , because appreciating what you have , however small it may seem in comparison to others , others , is always going to be the foundation for attracting more .
