When it comes to money, there can be lots of feelings of shame, guilt, anxiety, and even sadness. So, how can we prevent those negative feelings and even attract abundance? Find out as I interview Ken Honda, author of the book, “Happy Money: The Japanese Art Of Making Peace With Your Money”. Ken shares his tips on transforming your money mindset, how to cultivate the feeling of ‘enoughness’, and enjoy a happy relationship with money.
“Arigato your money… Thank your money when it comes in and thank your money when it goes out... It doesn’t really matter how much money you have or how much money you make. It gives you frustration if you let it, but you can keep smiling if you start thanking money coming in, going out. ” - Ken Honda
“If you start loving money, as you start loving yourself, your financial situation usually changes. ” - Ken Honda
