Stop blaming money. Money is not the problem. Money is just an Amplifier. It’s your mindset that needs to change. Let me explain…
From 15 years of coaching and training people in business and personal development I’ve realised that people see money differently and there are (at least) 5 levels to the journey of money. Each more eloquent and more powerful than the last.
I call it the Personal Path to Prosperity – let me introduce you to it if you are curious :
Level 1 : The Pragmatist. 😳
Level 2 : The Worker. 💪
Level 3 : The Manager. ⏳
Level 4: The Knowledge Worker. (…was the Entrepreneur) ⚖️
Level 5: The Enigma. 🦄
