When we recently announced Project M, we had no idea so many people were hungry to learn how to build a financial foundation that included doubling their income every month. MoneyMinding is the practical application of focused financial training. It is all about results within the proper foundation.
The response was overwhelming and it took longer than expected to contact all who applied. If we have not spoken personally, then you missed us saying how committed we are to getting results and not being exclusive to people with money or from a certain background.
Project M participants will be finalized this week, and we start next week. If you are considering this project, but have not contacted us yet, here is what one of our participants had to say:
It was a pleasure meeting you and Sue for the first time today. I very much enjoyed our chat. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to meet with me and address any last minute questions and concerns I had. You have been too kind and patient. However, I needed to ask as many questions as I can. It is our mutual understanding that “Project M” is not for the faint-of-heart and is a massive time, energy and financial commitment for everyone involved. Therefore, it is necessary to know beforehand that: we are a good fit (I am a suitable participant and the program will help me achieve lasting success); be able to contribute in a meaningful way; and achieve the desired results from working together.
After our conversation, I feel that we are like-minded in many ways and I am confident we will work well together in achieving mutual success. Please allow me to reiterate that I am committed to achieving long-term success and independence, but I must acquire the necessary, foundational knowledge and skills to help myself first before I can help others realize their goals. In order to be successful long-term, honesty and integrity is paramount. I feel that you and the MoneyMinding organization embody and live those values daily. I have experienced it first-hand today and would like to express my appreciation for your authenticity.
I am very excited about the opportunity to work with you, the MoneyMinding team, advisers and mentors for a fruitful 2010 and beyond. To describe the upcoming year as “interesting” would be an understatement. Would you agree?
Thank you and Sue for the warm welcome. Have a wonderful day.
Through our conversations with you, we have discovered that Project M is a concept that generates great interest from people of all backgrounds, ages, income levels and geographic locations. Beyond that, it has demonstrated that we are providing you, our subscribers and members, with financial education that is of significant value and has engendered trust. For that, we thank you.
BUT, we also know that there are many more of you who are still unsure, so again, I would like to reach out to anyone who knows what I mean when I say …financially unsure – find out more here in case you missed it the first time.
Something I learned from my conversations so far is that far too many people are setting themselves up for struggle, or worse, financial failure in 2010 and beyond.
SORRY, there is no other way to say it. If you are telling yourself:
û I cannot afford it
û I do not have the time
û I need to cut back and get out of debt
û I need to make more money so I can build up my investments
…ALSO, there is no nice way to say that:
ü You are missing the critical point!
ü You will stay stuck!
ü You must learn to see your financial situation from a different perspective!
To quote Albert Einstein, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Isn’t it time that you learned to identify those repetitive financial faux pas and leave them in the past?
If you have any questions about how we can help you, please call us at 250-592-0457 (pacific time) or email me personally at tracy@moneyminding.com or contact your MoneyMinding affiliate or mentor.
On the other hand, if you have had enough and are ready to shake off those financial woes of the past and move forward with confidence in 2010, start today with the MoneyMinding Minute Manager. This service helps get you on the right path, figure out what else you can do and what you have been missing all these years. There are no contracts or commitments and it will cost you less than a take out pizza.
To a successful 2010!

PS, Do you know someone who needs some financial encouragement and inspiration? None of us were taught practical financial planning and wealth creation in school so learning ‘how to’ is an ongoing process. You can ‘pay it forward’ and send them this email. At the very least, they can begin to receive valuable weekly tips when they join our mailing list, or choose to invest in their financial future by becoming a Minute Manager Member.

This entry is different than most of our posts. It has very little to do with money, and everything to do strength, belief, and hope. It demonstrates one of our core beliefs – that we are a community at MoneyMinding, and we carry the dreams and the hopes of each and every one of you with us.
Ryan is a financial planner, living in Calgary. He is a husband, a father, an uncle and a son. Like all of us, he has dreams and aspirations, not just for himself, but for his family. His mother is a MoneyMinding member, and she shares her son’s story of his struggle to survive against his recurrence of a brain tumor. I have provided an excerpt from Jo-Ann’s touching letter and ask you to take a moment to read about Ryan’s battle and help where you can.
Just before Christmas, my son Ryan had another MRI to see how his treatment for his Brain Tumour was progressing. After so much hope and success, along with great apprehension and an ongoing emotional roller-coaster for the last year, we were praying for no change or a change for the better. Unfortunately, it was not to be as it was discovered that the cancer has once again raised it’s ugly head and has begun to appear in the original area. The success of the Avastin has stopped and that treatment and the VP16 Chemo was halted immediately. To say that we were all devastated was an understatement. And this, just 3 days before Christmas.
Ryan and our entire family went to sadness, anger, fear and more. But somehow, after dealing with those negative feelings, we all once again, in our own way, found what we needed to come back to our strength in order to once again fight to find a way to be strong for Ryan and to look forward to other ways to find a treatment that will help to extend his life and keep Ryan with his family. As of today, Ryan is starting a difficult Chemo treatment called CCNU which may have some effect on the Cancer. We won’t know for at least 6 weeks.
In the meantime, the battle is on but we need all the help and assistance that we can possibly find. It’s why I’m writing to all of you to ask for your assistance. We thank everyone for all your support, prayers, acts of kindness and love over the last 18 months and once again ask you to keep Ryan in your prayers. I truly believe that this, along with many optional health supports, have kept Ryan going for the last 12+ years, fighting this disease. Even his doctors have said that they’ve never had anyone live as long as he has with a Brain Tumour and also stay as healthy as he is, so we know we have a very special support. I call Ryan my Miracle Man and I truly believe in Miracles. I know that Ryan still has so much to accomplish by sharing his experience with others to give them hope. His blog is amazing to read where you can see his spiritual growth over the last year and read about the lessons that he has learned about life and living here on earth. It is truly an inspiration to us all. His blog is http://www.ryanwesterman.blogspot.com/ Please feel free to pass this blogspot on and, if you wish, send him your own personal comments and words of support.
Along with your love and prayers, I’m also asking for your help in another way. Ryan has been getting wonderful optional weekly treatments with Chiropractic, Massage Therapy and Acupuncture for the last year which I believe is another reason for his overall good health. He is also following the Alkaline Food Program and using Immune Support Supplements. We are looking for all optional treatments and programs - medical, naturopathic, Eastern, spiritual etc. - that could also help. If you know of anything or anyone who may know about any options available or test study groups, I would greatly appreciate it if you could pass on Ryan’s physical details (to follow in this email) and have any information sent to me at the above email address. You may know someone, somewhere in the world who may know someone, somewhere with information. The more contacts we can reach, the better chance we have of finding something different that will help. I will then go through and edit out any duplications before sending them on to Tasha and Ryan. Please use “Ryan’s Path” as the subject matter in these emails so they are easily identified.
If you are connected to any Prayer Circles or a member of any Church, Spiritual or Religious organization, please share Ryan’s story and ask for help. We know that there are also Radio and Television programs that will include prayers for those like Ryan. In fact, as he went into his first surgery in 1997, his story had somehow found it’s way to a CBC Radio Spiritual program that broadcast across Canada and asked for prayers for Ryan….
…Ryan deserves to live – to be the loving husband that he is and the most amazing father to Talyn. Our family needs Ryan to survive. I need my Son. His Big Brothers need their Baby Brother. He has so much to offer to this world that we must give him every chance possible to stay with us for longer than a few months or a year or two.
We are begging for any help that anyone can give – no matter how little or how much.
I need my Boy.
Proud Mom, Jo-Ann

I would like to reach out to anyone who knows what I mean when I say …financially unsure - not to sell you something you don’t have money for or don’t want, but to find out if you would like to participate in a very special MoneyMinding 2010 project. I want to talk to people who understand what it means to feel…
• Unsure of not having enough money
• Unsure of running out of money
• Unsure something will break and you won’t have money to replace it
• Unsure someone will find out that you don’t have as much money as you appear to have
• Unsure you won’t be able to maintain your lifestyle
• Unsure of making a wrong money decision
• Unsure of trusting another program, person or money strategy because you don’t want to get your hopes up and be disappointed again
• Unsure of almost everything to do with money!?!
I don’t know your situation or how hard you will work this year or what your goals are. But, I do know that you will be happier with more money than less at the end of this year, and I know that you don’t want to take any risks. In fact, I bet you’re thinking right now that you have NO MONEY so if this project is going to cost you anything then you have to say no, even though you really do want to consider it because so far nothing else has worked and you are at the end of your rope as far as hope goes.
If you keep being disappointed in the results you get from your financial decisions, and you really don’t know what else you can do, or where to turn, or how to start, I won’t give you any new fangled tricks or schemes. I won’t do that to you because I’ve had my hopes up too many times myself and know that it is far too painful to go for a ‘sure thing’ and wind up worse off than when you started.
What if you knew you would be better off financially next year than you were last year? What would you do if you knew you could not fail? Could you believe again?
Here is what I’d like to talk to you about…
I would like to find a select few who are serious about making a difference in their financial lives this year and I’d like to work with you on a project – a project to double your money every month for 12 months without gimmicks or get rich quick schemes. In fact, one of the first tasks will be for you to decide how you would like to earn the money.
Here is the income plan you will be working towards:
$10 in January
$20 in February
$40 in March
$80 in April
$160 in May
$320 in June
$640 in July
$1280 in August
$2560 in September
$5120 in October
$10,240 in November
$20,480 in December
$40,950 TOTAL (1 year earnings)
I would like to guarantee that you will make this exact money and more, but we all know there are a lot of variables that can affect the outcome. I absolutely can guarantee, however, that you will be given the concepts, the strategies and the systems, and that you’ll have access to information, people, ideas, resources, and whatever you need to create the income and give yourself the best opportunity to succeed.
I have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in financial and business programs from some of the best success teachers today, and thousands of hours have been invested in developing the MoneyMinding system. I will be able to share this information with you as we work together. Hundreds of people around the globe have already put the principles and strategies together to receive results they didn’t know existed. And, our own consortium of MoneyMinding Mentors earned $12,000 in 90 days following their attendance in MoneyMinding Mastery and following the principles we are going to put into practice. Would you like to know how they did it? Would you like to do it for yourself?
Financial independence is the result you get from an investment you make in your financial foundation. Are you up for it? Do you believe you can build a financial foundation to become financially independent by this time next year?
If you qualify to be part of this exclusive group, we will start small and plan to double the results every month. Worst case scenario is you will have received a complete practical financial education – the kind we all should have received, but instead have spent our adult life trying to learn as we go with the flow with no formal training.
I am calling the program Project M. It has not been done before through MoneyMinding, but certainly that kind of income has been earned by me and other MoneyMinding Mentors and Advisors many times over. MoneyMinding is not about get rich quick, it is about taking control of your money and making it work for you. It is the slow, steady road of simply implementing financial literacy concepts and behavioral finance principles with a very practical, approach to creating income. The result, however, is anything but slow and boring! How many times do you want to double your money this year?
If you are skeptical or if you are interested, then call me to find out more and see if your participation in this special MoneyMinding 2010 project makes sense. It won’t be right for everyone, but is sure to be a lot of fun and make a big difference for the people selected to participate (maximum of 11 people).
If you have additional questions, please call me at 250-592-0457 pacific time or email me personally at tracy@moneyminding.com with why you think you are a good candidate for this project! There is only room for 11 people so act fast so you won’t be disappointed.
Looking forward to ‘meeting you’ and to a very prosperous 2010!
