Stressed or Even Depressed About Money? This Will Help…

Your mentality becomes your reality. I can prove it to you!

A 2021 study by Huntington found that stress about money and finances is the #1 driver of stress with 47% of people reporting it. Money stress was ahead of stress about the pandemic, personal health, and even death.

A 2020 study by Discover and Thrive Global discovered that 90% of individuals say that money has an impact on their stress levels.

Why are we so stressed about money? Here are a few reasons that come to mind:

• Financial education was not a part of the school curriculum at any level when we grew up.
• Many of us walk around with financial scars from listening to our parents fight about money.
• Not to mention, it’s a taboo topic among friends and sometimes even partners.

No wonder it’s a leading cause of depression and divorce.

A 2018 study by Northwestern Mutual, cited 28% feel depressed about money on a monthly basis and nearly 20% reported feeling depressed about money weekly, daily, or hourly. 41% said it affects their relationship.

There’s a chance I just described you. If so, and you’re tired of feeling stressed or even depressed about your financial situation, I made something for you.

It’s your guide to a stress-free financial life.

I’m excited to announce the launch of my newest book “Ready, Money Mindset, GO!”

It teaches you how to transform your money mentality so you can discover financial freedom, happiness, and a new way to live rich. This book is your companion to developing confidence, optimism, and even enthusiasm about personal finance. It’s your secret weapon for success.

For a year and a half, I dove deep into the world of what it means to have a strong mindset. I studied psychology, philosophy, and human behavior. I connected dots from various books, podcasts, and my own experiences learning and teaching personal finance.

In doing so I feel confident that one fundamental truth remains forever true:

Everything starts in the mind. Your mentality becomes your reality. Success is a mindset.

The goal of my book is simple — it’s to help you develop a positive money mindset so you can succeed on your financial freedom journey and live a richer, as in happier, life.

You might be where I was just 6 years ago. I was broke, deeply in debt, struggling with a new career, and depressed every time I thought about money. I broke through and thrived because of a massive shift in my mindset. I want to show you how.

Most books have 5 or maybe 10 lessons you can learn. My book has 101. I cover so much, that I listed all 101 key lessons in the back of the book. It’s your cheat sheet to reference when you need a refresher or boost of inspiration.

Here are a few of those key lessons I cover in Ready, Money Mindset, GO!

• (#11) Patience is the shortcut.
• (#17) Trust the flow of money as energy.
• (#19) Your self-worth isn’t tied to your net worth.
• (#28) Money is a good servant, but a bad master.
• (#35) Money EQ is far more important than Money IQ.
• (#39) What you appreciate appreciates.
• (#59) Money is infinite, but time is not. Use money to buy time.
• (#62) You need a whole lot more than money to feel wealthy.
• (#75) Comparison is the thief of joy.
• (#88) Focus your mind on steady growth and you will receive steady wealth.

If you’re just getting started on your financial journey this book is for you. If you’re a decade or more into your early retirement journey this book is for you. This book is your unfair advantage no matter your location, budget, or income level.

Ready, Money Mindset, GO! isn’t another stuffy finance book full of unrealistic strategies. It’s packed with inspiration, personal stories, humor, down-to-earth honesty, and again 101 of the very best money mindset lessons I truly believe in that help me succeed. It’s my full money philosophy you can adopt, finally articulated clearly.

If you’ve read and loved Morgan Housel’s book “The Psychology of Money”, you are going to love my book as well. The key difference? His book was largely about other people and interesting stories. This book is about YOU and your journey to financial freedom.

As a bonus, each chapter has a companion YouTube video you can watch to help bring the chapter to life, build on the ideas, and solidify the concepts — especially if you’re a visual learner like me.

I know you aren’t supposed to pick your favorite child but if I’m being honest, this is my favorite of the 4 books I’ve written. The reason? It’s not a how-to-money-with-numbers-and-logic book. It’s a how-to-think-about-money-and-why book.

But if I can share a secret — the truth is, it’s actually not exactly a money book. It’s a book about how to live a happy life, period. After just a few pages you’ll quickly realize most of what I’m talking about goes well beyond your wallet and bank account.

You can and should live an extraordinary financial life. You can absolutely earn your time and freedom back — no matter who you are or where you started from. Because again, success is a mindset. What you focus on is what you get. If you can see it happen, you can make it happen.

Money doesn’t have to be hard or complicated. The skills and mindset are already within you. How to live happy is within you. My new book will help you unlock it. Let me prove it to you.

Let’s change your financial life together. Let’s change your life together.
