It's Time To Begin

Part I of the series is going to help you define your Money Moment. It's objective is to help you understand how you regard money in the present based upon your experiences with it as a child.  Without this information it will be difficult, if not impossible, to change your thinking and actions in order to get out of credit card debt. 

As soon as I had completed all the exercises in my Good Stewardship class to get past my defining "money moment," I was able to pay off my $6,000 credit card debt in three months.  I followed the whole program, so I want to warn you not to skip any of the lessons in order to fulfill your financial goals.

What Is A Money Moment?

It's a specific time or period of time in your childhood that taught you to view money in a certain way.  If it was negative and it had much influence over your thinking about money, it then became the root of how you think about money today.  

For instance, if you were told or taught by example that money is evil, you will be afraid to make money or have money.  So your money moment or moments will cause a fear response that will keep you from reaching your financial potential or getting out of debt.    



My Defining Money Moment

I spent a good part of my life believing that having money was a sin.  My closest relatives, who were leaders in our church, had a saying that there is God on Sundays and business the rest of the week,  meaning that God did not influence their business practices.  They also bragged about how they had duped the elderly and unsuspecting people out of their money in business dealings.  Sadly, they shaped my values because I made the decision as a small child to be the opposite of who they were. 

Because of this decision, as a young adult when I should have been preparing for my future, I was afraid of living my dreams.  Instead I took the road of barely getting by taking jobs that I hated.  Without a change in my thinking I couldn't achieve financial freedom and I didn't until I learned how to be empowered over money and see that it's not evil. It's only the love of money that's evil.

Don't Be Afraid To Change 

When I was a child I made the decision to always be willing to change if it meant a better life, no matter how old I was.  That one promise to myself has paved the way for great changes to manifest in my life.  I would like you, before going any further, to make this same commitment.  You won't be sorry.  

Say this to yourself:  "I am not afraid of change.  I embrace the truth that I am in control of my money and that I see myself out of debt this moment."  

This one step is vital to your financial freedom, so say the above affirmation as often as you can over the next few days to open your mind to the information you'll be receiving.
