Crack the Code:Unlock Your Path to Prosperity
Where are you on your money journey? Did your parents tell you to save money? Mine did. I was supposed to save for college. In fact, from the time I was about 13, most extra money that I acquired went into my college fund. My spending money came from my allowance. Once, I got permission to use some of my saving to buy a sewing machine, otherwise, babysitting money, and finally earnings from part time jobs all got saved. I learned a valuable lesson. If you save your money, you can get “big” things. BUT that was pretty much all I learned from my parents. It wasn’t nearly enough. As a young adult, living with my new husband, we learned how to get the best values; stretching what little money we had. Any extra first went for vacations, and when we had a bit more, my husband wanted to use it for camera equipment. That finally led to negotiating and sharing extra money: his, hers and our accounts. I saved most of mine, he spent his. When we started our business, our advisor told us to set up a retirement account, so we did. We still had very little idea of anything besides earn and spend. Classes about using money to create money came much later. Learning to create abundance came even later. Every step was important! Wherever you are on your journey, “Embrace Prosperity” can help you get ready for your next step. Get started now.

Embrace Prosperity
Where Do You Start?
If you are just starting on this journey and your basic needs for food and shelter and medical care are managed, you may still
- struggle to pay your bills
- secretly blame others for your financial situation
- think you’re not getting paid as much as you deserve
- admire rich people
- wonder why other people seem to have so much more money than you do
- spend all your money when you intended to build up your saving reserve
- feel like you can’t even keep up, let alone get ahead financially
- worry about money
Your choices are probably based on whatever grabs your attention at the moment. The world is filled with distractions. Your phone and tablet offer an overwhelming stream of suggestions about how to spend your time and your money.
Movies, media and advertising show you endless possibilities of how famous people live their lives, implying that you should follow their example. If you can’t do these things, you may conclude that the problem is in you. It isn’t!
Important Stepping Stones
An important part of this journey is shifting your focus from what goes on around you to an entirely different space. A space where the questions are different. You become more aware of a different reality—of Essence. Now you wonder:
- Who am I really?
- Why am I here?
- Who are all these other people?
- How are we connected?
- What is my unique contribution to all this?
This is a gradual change. Some shifts happen in an instant, but they are stepping stones. This journey doesn’t happen over days or weeks—some steps take years. What we offer here is some help along your way.
