I am resurrecting The Money Shaman.
My journey with money had been nothing short of diabolical.
To put it mildly my journey with money had been nothing short of diabolical for most of my adult life. You see I didn’t have a ‘Rich Dad’ (as in the books Rich Dad Poor Dad) to point me in the right direction. My Dad was more of an ‘In Debt Dad’ or ‘Hire Purchase’ Dad. Relatively speaking he did remarkably well considering that he had arrived in the UK from Italy in 1958 with only ‘two shillings’ in his pocket (about 10p sterling).
We had accepted a dance from a gorilla.
Unlike my Dad, I arrived into the ‘adult’ world of money just as the whole credit phenomenon was being birthed. Much to our surprise – considering how bleak things had looked when we were finishing school – my generation discovered that it was really quite easy to get our hands on money. More accurately, banks were falling over themselves to lend to ‘young people’. At the time most of us had no idea about things such as ‘compound interest’ etc. Unwittingly we had accepted a dance from a gorilla and we were only going to stop dancing only when the gorilla said so.
I found myself in a deep financial hole.
And so started years and years of debt-ridden living and stressing about money. Eventually of course this whole wobbly edifice came crashing down around my ears and I found myself in a deep financial hole. The tendency had always been to keep digging, but when that was no longer possible life quickly became a very grim affair. I understood that I had no choice but to change: money and all it represented had become my nemesis. It triggered huge amounts of anxiety – far more than made any rational sense – and in many ways made my life quite miserable.
I made it my passion to find ways to live abundantly.
Finally, as the wolves hammered at my door, I set fourth on a journey out of the financial mess I was in. I made it my passion to find ways to create money doing the things I loved. I made it my passion to find ways to live abundantly without the nagging fear of scarcity always stalking me. It wasn’t easy to step outside of such entrenched belief systems. The more I discovered about creating a life of abundance, the more it made sense to share what I had discovered.
The Money Shaman was conceived in the February of 2005. And it took its maiden voyage on the Internet in September of that same year. It became a huge learning experience and a successful venture for me. I’m pleased to say it helped literally thousands of people to embrace a very different way of working with money and attracting opportunities.
However by the end of 2009 I absolutely thought I had said everything there was to say about money and abundance. Having delivered countless talks and workshops on the subject, and having created some amazingly powerful products, I decided to put the whole venture on ice and pursue other interests.
I underestimated just how many people were searching…
Little did I know at the time just how radically the financial landscape of the world would change in just a few months. And in many ways I underestimated just how many people were searching for a far more inspiring, empowering and abundant way of living: a way of living that unplugged them from a system based on fear, scarcity, domination and endless complexity.
The Universe was telling me that it wasn’t over.
In 2010, almost every event that I attended I would be asked about The Money Shaman. People told me how much they missed the daily Money Shaman Mantras. And the amount of communications asking me to once again offer up inspiration and wisdom around money and abundant living has continued to increase. The Universe was telling me that it wasn’t over. And the more I looked at what was going on the more I realised The Money Shaman still has a lot to say and a lot to give.
The Money Shaman has therefore returned. I’ve remastered and transformed how much of the material is presented based on the challenges that we are now facing. I believe with passion that you will greatly benefit from connecting with www.TheMoneyShaman.com on a regular basis.
It’s great to be away, but it feels good to be back home.
