Are you on a “Financial Diet” or a path to Real Financial Success?
By Dina Dove of www.harryturtle.com
I was recently speaking with a couple who are taking Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University. They were telling me that destroying your credit cards and operating on a cash basis is part of the course. I assume his reasoning is that people do not use self control as regards the use of plastic. And... I would agree that most people are out of control. However, rather than circumvent a person’s financially destructive behaviors, one of the first things I recommend does is to help people deal with the problematic emotions they hold around money. The origination of most financial problems has very little to do with money itself. The problems occur because of the way in which people react to finances. It all starts with emotion. Many of our beliefs and habits are passed down from our parents. We learned them before we even had money of your own. And guess what? Unlearning them, establishing a different way of seeing financial issues, will be the beginning of a whole new experience around money. More than that, it will be fun! It really is the same concept as applies to weight control. It is common knowledge that diets do not work. A diet inevitably will be over and then the person goes back to their old behaviors. However, when the person recognizes and deals with the reasons why they are overeating, they will achieve lasting results. The reason? They have made the most important change one can ever make. They have changed their thinking. The same thing applies to money. Until you recognize what is at bottom of your financial issues, you will not change your mind. You can go thru the rigors of a very restrictive “financial diet program” and when it is over, you will still have the same beliefs. So, get on the path to real and lasting financial success. Uncover those hidden patterns that are causing you problems and deal with them once and for all. It will be an enlightening experience. And I want you to get a taste of this for free at www.harryturtle.com. |

Emotion? Oh yeah... Madison avenue knows this too. They are very good at understanding and playing up to our emotions and why we buy things.
