    About this ebook

    Master the Secrets of Mind Over Money

    Do you want a greater sense of purpose, control, and clarity with your money?

    Do you want to improve the direction and quality of your financial life?

    Our world is full of people living on their backs and dying on their feet because no one showed them a better way. This book will help you to cultivate the mind set and skills you need to create the financial life you really want in today's economy—or in any economy.

    Inside you will discover how to:
    •Eliminate debt and conquer credit abuse
    •Create lifelong success with budgeting and financial planning
    •Exercise personal power over spending and consumption
    •Save and invest intelligently and purposefully
    •Decide what prosperity really means to you
    •Develop the financial beliefs and habits that serve your highest values
    •Manage your risk for greater rewards

    What precisely is Money Mindfunk?

    Money Mindfunk is:
    •joyous and inspired mindfulness with regard to your wealth and personal finances
    •A wonderfully robust state of mind characterised by curiosity, courage, clarity, and creative independent thought
    •The cultivated capacity for dealing with myths, misunderstandings, misinformation, and misdirection
    •The practised ability and habitual desire to ask more and better questions of oneself and others in order to seek out and apply the truth—no matter how implausible, unpopular, or uncomfortable it may be
    •The sum total of a person's thinking, emotion, language and behaviour that leads them to be, do, and have what they want with precision, power, passion, and purpose
    •The antidote to another similar-sounding vulgar term that means to intentionally destabilise, disengage, desensitise, deceive, or by other means manipulate the mind of a person

    Why is Money Mindfunk important?

    Even smart people end up making big money mistakes because of the many myths and misunderstandings they have bought into. Money Mindfunk will help you to bust through those myths and misunderstandings instead of busting a gut, busting your budget, or busting your financial future. It will show you how to cultivate the mind set and skills you need to create the financial life you really want and deserve in today's economy.

    If you are fed up with reading the same old tired 'advice' about how to get rich, then this book is for you. In it you will find a treasury of almost six hundred myth-busting, thought-provoking truths and ideas for leading yourself so that you can experience more positive outcomes of the way you think, feel and behave in the area of money.

    Monty Sandhu has written Money Mindfunk from his own experience of making money work and of coaching other people to do the same. Inside you will find the collective wisdom of people who have been on the same journey as you and found more and better answers on how to improve the direction and quality of their financial lives. Money Mindfunk will open the way for you to win the mental game of money.

    Author

    Monty Sandhu

    Monty Sandhu is founder of The Financial Coaching Academy, which provides financial coaching services to both individuals and groups. He is a specialist in Financial Psycholinguistics and creator of The Financial Battlefield of Your Mind coaching programme. His passion is ‘Bringing Life to Wealth.’ Monty has had a varied and successful career as a logistics manager, IT professional, e-business analyst, and personal performance coach. However, he describes his personal journey as one marked by frustration and disappointment resulting from a lifelong series of financial mistakes. Monty has known the intolerable pain of feeling immature and dysfunctional in the area of money—a pain which he realised is shared by many others in one way or another, regardless of their age or income. Monty decided to seek out the tools and strategies he needed to overcome the obstacles and limits in his own financial life. It was during this journey, on which he continues, that his personal philosophy of ‘learn it, live it, teach it’ started to take shape. Then, having trained and worked as a Money Coach with an international faith-based debt counselling charity, he found that most of his clients were simply failing to apply their newly-acquired money management skills. He therefore made it his mission to take people beyond the sheer mechanics of money management, to helping them attain a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationship with money. Monty now coaches people on how to live life with financial capability, integrity and purpose. He is married with two children and lives in Kent, England.

      Preface

      I don't mind admitting that I have done some pretty stupid things with my money more than a few times in my life. And if you are anything like me, you would probably say the same about yourself. But that doesn't make you or me stupid.

      Even smart people end up making big money mistakes because of the many myths and misunderstandings they have bought into. This book will help you to bust through those myths and misunderstandings. It will show you how to cultivate the mindset and skills you need to create the financial life you really want and deserve in today's economy, or indeed in any economy.

      This book is a result of my experiences as a financial coach. The dynamic of live events and one-to-one coaching sessions means that there is often a richness of dialogue which cannot be planned for in advance. It is during those unforgettable moments of open exchange between like-minded people that precious little gems of financial wisdom come to the surface. You will find many of those gems here. You will discover the collective wisdom of people, like you and me, who are searching for more and better answers on how to improve the direction and quality of their financial lives.

      Many of the ideas in this book belong more to my clients and to my mentors than they do to me. My responsibility has simply been to capture and to condense that wisdom and share it with you here as a gift—a gift that will inform, inspire and empower your financial thinking and behaviour.

      I have intentionally chosen a simple format for the text. You will not find any fluff or filler here. What you will find is a rich treasury of myth-busting, thought-provoking, stand-alone truths and ideas. They will show you how to lead yourself so that you can experience more positive outcomes of the way you think, feel, and behave in the area of money. You can either give this book a once-only quick read or you can purposefully work through it to transform your financial life. The choice and the responsibility are yours.

      Some of the ideas in this book will be familiar to you and serve as a powerful reminder to do what you already know. Other ideas will be new. Some of them will have an immediate and profound impact on you because they will touch upon something you are already experiencing. Others will come alive with meaning and relevance after you have meditated on them for a while.

      You will have your fair share of 'aha' moments, and when that happens, I invite you to take a firm hold of the ideas that have taken hold of you. Then, do something different. In fact, some of the ideas may even hurt your feelings by telling you the truth about you, but you will grow as a result. I invite you to play along. Reflect and meditate on each idea instead of skim reading. Do the Let's Talk exercises at the end of each chapter. Make decisions, set goals, get committed, and take action. Do it often, and you will win.

      Give yourself permission to treat this book as your Money Mindfunk Cafe. Let this be where you come to get your mental caffeine. Let it be where you come to hang out, think, get coached, and leave stronger, focused, and energised.

      Lastly, I want to pass on to you my personal philosophy of 'learn it, live it, teach it.' I invite you to devour this book and to get it into your system. Then work it out, live it out, and share its wisdom and creative hope with someone you care about. Our world is full of people living on their backs and dying on their feet because no one showed them a better way. Let's change
