Mainly our Dojo of Radical Honesty conference call was a hit because we have incredible people in our community who are eager to learn. Our commitment in Blackbelt is to create 10,000 extraordinary relationships. We do this through our calls and live evening events and retreats (see products above).

The call last night was completely new material on how to have a conversation with your relationship that ends with understanding and actions to create more abundance in all areas. It was fun and the feedback was honest and very cool. Most feedback is on the Blackbelt in Relationship Facebook fan page.

Here are some of the exercises:
Talk with a partner about How you are you are relative to money:
spender______________________saver
Risk Affinitive________________Risk adverse
Generalist___________________ Detail oriented
Impulsive____________________Reflective
Like Change_________________like Security

Money Personality Type that can cause problems in Relationship, which limiting belief can you relate to?

1. The Nanny: “There there, I’ll take care of it for you” sees other as incapable around money
2. Information Hoarder: Info about $ is power, hold on at any price!
3. Money Saint: “I do it all for you and this is the thanks I get?” Control through obligation.
4. Money Rebel:” I’ll spend what I want”, new things magically appear around the house.
5. Benevolent Dictator, “Good cop” smooth things over but always manages to get their way.
6. Helpless Spectator:” I am just no good with numbers” refuses to learn anything.
7.The Power Up: “If it weren’t for me you would be out on the street” control through fear

*By the way, these are adapted from a wonderful book: Couples and Money by Victoria Felton-Collins Ph.D.

If you are interested in being on our Dojo calls, ck. products page and dates. Once a week starting July 13.

Having wonderful conversations to explore our beliefs and ideas together always help Nancy and I strengthen our bond of love. Have a great week and weekend. Patrick and Nancy.

In a few days, on June 22, at 6:00 p.m. (Pacific) we are going to have a “Dojo” conference call. This conference call will be an open call so you and any friends can participate with no tuition fee.  This call will informative, lively and fun. The topic of the call will be “Couples and Money, Your Money IQ.” (email nancy@blackbeltinrelationship.com in enroll.)

In preparations for this call I want to say a few things about abundance, money, and relationship in this blog. Also, if you cannot make the call, here are some things to think about and discuss in your relationship.

First the difference between abundance and money.

“Abundance” is a state of mind. That state of mind is developed by practice. What we practiced is “trust and compassionate action”.

If you trust God and yourself, and and practice compassionate action, abundance in all areas of life will manifest itself. In my opinion, this principle of trust and compassionate action are like gravity; they always produce a powerful positive result. It is written in the Bible and in the writings of every other major world religion. By the way, I believe that abundance may not always look like we want it to and we don’t always get to choose how abundance comes into our life, our job is to recognize it when it is there.

Money is a medium of exchange that we all agree has value. Money exists because it is useful for performing transactions and it represents time, expertise, and service. We all decide how money influences our lives by giving it power. As a couple, we have developed a “money IQ.” The two of you together have a guiding principle around money, and that forms a very powerful context which determines how you play the money game.

The important thing is to find out your money “IQ.” During our Dojo call, we will discuss that in depth. Your money IQ, as a couple, is determined by what you know about money and what you think you know. Usually what we think we know—all our “beliefs” about money—overshadows what is actual fact. It is critical that we know the facts about money and what it can and cannot do.

Money is a game that you can learn to play. As with most games, some people are better players than others. There are those with a natural affinity toward the money game, and those who have to practice more to learn it. However, I am absolutely sure that everyone can be successful.

I have noticed that those couples that create the most “money abundance” enjoy and love the game. They enjoy the challenge and love acquiring the knowledge needed to play. They also pay attention and don’t worry too much.

No matter where you are in the game, trust is an essential factor in order to experience abundance. In addition, noticing also how much power you give money will directly affect your peace of mind.

Shift your mindset and it will shift your life.

Have a great and abundant week!

Patrick and Nancy
