At MoneyMinding, we are passionate about helping people expand the possibilities in their life, and work toward their dreams. Just think for a moment how much of the time that dream includes a new home.
I (Catherine Novak - MoneyMinding’s Marketing and PR Manager) am currently dreaming of a new home that will fit our blended family of five active boys, and be within reach of their schools and activities. In the super-charged real estate market of Victoria BC, where MoneyMinding is based, that can be quite a task! But by applying the principles I’ve learned by working here and participating in the training, I know that we have to ask not whether we “can” or “can’t”, but instead - HOW?
So talking to my realtor this morning, I found myself discussing the steps we are taking - MoneyMinding style - to make that dream a reality. Is this a conversation that many realtors have with their clients? They are probably more used to hearing their clients say “that’s out of our price range” or “we can’t live there”. What if a realtor had the knowledge and the vision to help their clients not only through the dream process (it seems most realtors are pretty good at that!) but also through the practical financial tools process? And what if it’s set up and ready to go? That’s the beauty of MoneyMinding… the system is already up and running, and anyone who talks to people about the big life decisions that involve money can draw upon MoneyMinding as a tool to strengthen relationships with clients, and help their clients get what they really want.
If you are a realtor and you want to help your clients make their dreams a reality, I’m inviting you now to look at our website, www.moneyminding.com Consider the added value you bring to your practice just by giving your clients the tools they need to make the best real estate decisions they can. It looks like a win-win situation to me!

Now that we’ve added a new category to The MoneyMinding Monitor just for the questions we receive, expect to see more entries from the people who contact us! Due to the personal nature of many of these questions, I won’t be including any names or addresses, but the concerns are all from real people with genuine issues around money.
Dear MoneyMinding,
How does one get out of a poverty mindset?
A: That is an amazing question, and my challenge in answering it is because I’m not sure how to approach it without sounding like a sales pitch for the MoneyMinding Makeover.
Your question really is at the core of all the teaching, all the exercises, and all the support MoneyMinding offers. I have so many tips, tricks and strategies that are presented in sequence to not only break the mindset of poverty, but also to build a “wealth muscle” all within the context of day-to-day financial activities.
Let me give you some examples, then encourage you to review the Membership offer and the contents of the MoneyMinding Makeover course.

1. It sounds like you have recognized that you have a poverty mindset as opposed to a wealthy one - that can be good because you need to be aware of a self-defeating thought process or activity in order to change it. However, I’d like to turn the tables and ask, “What is a poverty mindset to you?” I ask this because often people think they “should” be doing something different with their money because they are comparing themselves to someone else or trying to live up to an expectation that maybe isn’t really what they want or who they are.
2. Using cash for all your transactions is the most powerful and immediate way I know to take control of your money and to build and reinforce abundance. It’s simple, but not easy - I’ll warn you now!
3. Creating an environment where you are experiencing the lifestyle you think you might like to live if money were no object is also an extremely powerful and fun way to expand possibilities. That means if you think you’d like to live somewhere different, then go visit homes where you’d like to live. Do the same with cars, clothes, charities, entertainment - actually put yourself inside the lifestyle you think you as a wealthy person would be living.
Hope that helps. We enjoy answering these kinds of questions for members every week as well as brainstorming specific strategies for specific people and particular situations, so I’ll leave you to ponder the membership again. It’s $79 a month or $1299 for a lifetime membership which includes the MoneyMinding Makeover course and updates and new editions as they come available. Plus you get access to live support and training and the ability to ask personal questions for as long as you want.
Thank you for your questions and for your awareness that perhaps things could be different! We’d love to hear more of your story.
