The idea for MoneyMinding started when one of my high net worth clients became one of my highest need clients. With millions of dollars invested with me, a number of houses etc. etc. he wouldn’t let his wife buy new boots.
Despite his millions, this man was never taught about money, so he had little confidence in his ability to maintain and grow his wealth, let alone start thinking about philanthropy.
The point is, no matter how much money you have, the philanthropic aspect of personal finance needs to start at whatever level of financial success you currently have. Does it get any easier to give from a spirit of abundance when you are in a higher income bracket? Not necessarily.
That’s why MoneyMinding puts “giving” into your financial picture right in the initial steps of building a complete lifestyle financial plan. It’s part of the overall strategy to strengthen your wealth muscle, and live according to your values, whatever your income bracket. MoneyMinding’s fundamental principle of giving means more than merely giving money away when you have more than enough. Giving is the bigger reason for building wealth in the first place and it’s a missing component to reducing the fear people have around losing money.
We offer ongoing free resources about this and other key principles of financial success through articles, our blog and our Ezine, The MoneyMinding Messenger. You can subscribe at www.moneyminding.com.
