How do you skillfully create wealth without making money the center of your life?

(Is it possible to be confident, competent, and creative in your relationship with money?)

If you’re reading this, odds are you didn't decide to work for yourself to get rich. You wanted to do meaningful work. You were probably looking for things like creative freedom, flexibility, a chance to be your own boss, more time for your family and friends.

But even though you're not in it for the money, money issues may be keeping you awake at night. Even though your humanity is more important than your bank account, you hate living with the confusion, anxiety, and powerlessness around money.

You long to feel secure in your ability to create wealth so that you can take care of yourself and your family and serve others.

Most of us aren't born with a healthy relationship to money

Your relationship with money began when you were very small. When you didn't have an adult's mental and emotional capacity to question and develop it. And most of us are stuck with childhood notions of what it means to be truly wealthy.

Until we decide to be conscious and committed to a healthy relatonship with money.

Because no matter how you grew up, you can have a healthy relationship with money today. And you don't have to sacrifice your values, sell your soul, or work yourself to the bone to do it.

You can have a relationship where you feel like you can rely on money to be there and you can rely on yourself to be a good partner. A relationship that's a safe haven where can you be yourself. One that's a source of inspiration and encouragement. Even one that invites you to grow in every dimension of your life.

A great relationship takes three things.

1. Possibility
Great relationships give both parties a sense of possibility, of new horizons and adventure. If you don't feel that sense of possibility in your relationship with money, you'll resist or resent the routine tasks that keep the relationship healthy. Keeping track of where money comes from and where it goes feels like a burden or a penance. But it doesn't have to be that way.

When you reclaim possibility, you naturally want to know how things stand. It's exciting to see how things change as you make and keep your financial commitments. You experience a new level of self respect and self confidence.

2. Commitment
Great relationships are built on two kinds of commitment: commitment to each other and commitment to a shared vision. These commitment provide the sense of safety that anchors all those possibilities. Without commitment, dreams tend to float just beyond reach and getting what you want always feels just a bit too hard.

3. Forgiveness
Nobody gets everything right all the time. Disappointments and misunderstandings can sink a relationship unless you really understand and practice the art of forgiveness. When you bring mature forgiveness to your relationship with money you get a brand new start, free of the family dramas, cultural baggage, and mistakes of the past.

Introducing: Authentic Wealth, Write a new money story

Authentic Wealth is a confidential, highly interactive, "tele-retreat" that will reshape your relationship with money from the inside out.

Think of it as relationship transformation for your financial life. You'll learn where money problems come from (get ready to be surprised) and what works to bring clarity, humanity, and vision to your dealings with money. You'll connect with money on all levels: spiritual, emotional, material, and mental, laying the groundwork for a vibrant and meaningful relationship.

Most of all, you will achieve peace of mind and the conviction that you can be a creator in your financial life.

What you can expect to gain from Authentic Wealth

• Clarity about what money is, how it enters your life, and how you can use it with dignity, humanity, and grace.
  
  
• A personal vision of lifelong wealth that you can believe in and be committed to.
  
  
• Simple tools to get and keep your financial life in order no matter what side of your brain you use.
  
  
• A sense of happy anticipation about money matters.
  

• The ability to talk about money with loved ones, clients, and vendors with confidence and ease.

What you'll learn in Authentic Wealth

Module 1: Origins

Almost every negative emotion boils down to fear, and fear is almost always rooted in ignorance. Financial freedom begins when you shine a light on old (often hurtful) stories about money. It grows as you begin to see possibilities that those stories had concealed.

Together we'll explore with love and rigor:

• Your personal money history. You'll be guided through a respectful process of getting your money story on paper where you can work with it instead of being controlled by it.
  
  
• Authentic Wealth. What would it be to feel good about money? How money can express your life purpose, enrich your human interactions, and nurture living systems.
  
  
• Reclaiming the dream of wealth. You'll make a guided vision quest and open to wider sources of inspiration, support, and opportunity.
  

• The Money Date. From the very first week you'll practice a new way of relating to money.
  

Module 2: Reclaim Your Values

Money problems can leave you feeling marginalized and "less than." This module helps you restore the balance of power in your financial life so you'll be able to generate new financial freedom with clarity and confidence.

• Your money inventory. I and your fellow retreatants will hold you in a web of compassionate, capable support as you take a simple, but deep, deep financial inventory. When it's done, you'll experience a greater degree of integrity and freedom around money than you may have thought possible.
  
  
• Undoing the chains of resignation and resentment. Find out how resignation and resentment keep you broke. Then find out how to change that so you can write a new money story.
  
  
• Freeing peaceful, creative ambition. Explore your beliefs about ambition, especially financial ambition. Find your unique vision of financial freedom.
  
  
• It's all connected. You know money is connected to your self-esteem, security, and relationships. Now you can find out exactly how it's connected so you can untangle the mess with grace.
  

Module 3: Ignite the Change

Have you ever thought you're just not cut out to understand money? In this module, you will learn ways to understand and manage money no matter which side of your brain you use.

• The trouble with abundance thinking. Why abundance thinking hasn't solved your money problems (no, it's not your fault).
  
  
• Into Action. Have you always suspected your money woes would go away if you could just get it together? This is your chance to test-drive new behaviors and make them your own.
  
  
• Radical Acceptance. Meaningful change begins with acceptance of what is. You'll experience The Work of Byron Katie as you make peace withfinancial reality. You will feel serene about your financial situation nomatter what it is, which gives you a platform from which you can change it.
  
  
• Retrieving the "fun" in dysfunction. Okay, so you've done money wrong. But you probably didn't set out with that intention. You'll unearth the good intentions behind the disasters so you can keep the good and discard the bad.
  
  

Module 4: Free Yourself from Money Dramas

Just past the mid-point of the tele-retreat, we'll devote an entire unit to drama conflict in our relationships with money. Don't worry; it's more fun than it sounds. (There's nothing quite as funny as a money drama once it's revealed.)

• Five dead-end money dramas. Learn to identify the dramas that keep you unsatisfied or afraid and find out how to break the pattern.

• Shadow theft. How you may be stealing from yourself and how to stop. It's simple when you know how.

• The dreaded drama triangle. You'll learn a simple model of conflict that reveals how we get stuck in dead-end dramas. Then you'll learn an even cooler model for getting out of them. Yay!
  

• Skillful means. Experience how practicing gratitude lays the foundation for miracles to happen.

Module 5: Embrace Desire

Stretch your romantic muscles. What would a fabulous relationship with money look like?

• The spiritual function of desire. When you understand this, you will be free to acknowledge your desires and move toward them in good conscience.
  
  
• What to do when you don't know which way to go. When you have a model for making good decisions with limited input, you can act boldly without betraying your values or your financial well being.
  
  
• How to work with greed, envy, and fear. We all experience these feelings. What matters is learning to keep them from sabotaging your higher purpose. You don't have to be perfect to be wise or good.
  
  
• The four elements of an effective vision. You know you're supposed to visualize success. Sometimes it works; sometimes not. Find out why and what to do about it.

Module 6: Cultivate Conscious Relationship

How long would your friends hang around if you treated them like you treat money? Find out how to have a conscious relationship with money so you can make skillful decisions and build authentic wealth without losing your moral compass, your good taste, or your self-respect.

• Conscious hellos. Stretch your receptivity muscles so money can flow freely into your life.

• Conscious goodbyes. Learn how to spend money without getting stressed  out, resentful, or going unconscious.
  

• Conscious conversations. Stay connected with yourself and others when you talk about money; using money to enhance rather than diminish your humanity.
  

• The body of conscious relationship. Your money history is stored in your body. Recognize and gently reshape old patterns.
  

Module 7: Keep Wealth Creation Alive

Have you ever gotten all fired up at a workshop only to lose focus and momentum after a few weeks? Every relationship needs a source of renewal. This module shows you how to build renewal into your financial life.

• It takes a village. Money literally has no meaning outside of community. Strategies for growing a warm, supportive network around your money relationship.
  

• The Money Spa:. Find out how to nurture your relationship over time.
  

• Asking for help. Knowing where you will go and whom you will ask makes it much more likely that you'll reach out sooner rather than later.
  

• The Last Word. Gratitude is the key to your financial future.
  
  
  

Now you can feel good about money

You don't have to become a penny pincher or a number cruncher. You can change your relationship with money in a safe, confidential group of like-minded individuals by exercising your imagination, learning new behaviors, and clearing up the clutter of unexamined thoughts that have made money matters so painful.

Authentic Wealth will bring clarity and humor to the toughest money problem: how to feel good and be competent about earning it, asking for it, having it, and spending it. 

How does it work?

Authentic Wealthis structured uniquely so you will learn how to be the author of your money life and integrate what you are learning.

Here is the basic structure:

Seven hour-long teaching calls every other week for 14 weeks.

Seven hour-long coaching calls in the weeks when there is no teaching all.

An online wealth community where you can give and receive support and journal about the changes that are happening during the retreat.

Seven retreat guides. PDF guidebooks with teachings and practices you'll use throughout the retreat and beyond.

But money is so private...

You may be thinking that you just couldn't bear to work on your relationship with money in a large group. Authentic Wealth is designed to protect your privacy while easing the burden of secrecy.

You see, when things aren't going well in a relationship, it's easy to confuse privacy with secrecy. You tend to shut down. You isolate. You think you'll get help when things aren't quite so messy. But keeping it all in makes the problems fester, and things just get worse.

To protect your privacy, you are always fully in charge of how much you share and when you share it. At the same time, through appropriate sharing in a confidential community, you will experience healing. Your feelings and history will be normalized.

You'll realize you are not aloneand that you can be competent, confident, and creative in your relationship with money.

Is your relationship with money getting better over time?

Like any relationship, your relationship with money needs loving, skillful attention. If you don't give it that attention, signals get crossed. Feelings get hurt. Resentment and fear set in.

When your relationship with money is in trouble, it's natural to respond with avoidance, blame (including self-blame), or denial. To sweep problems them under the rug or resort to band-aid solutions. But sooner or later, the issues come to the surface again, usually at a moment of crisis.

The time to address you relationship with money is now, before the crisis point. While you have the mental and emotional flexibility to dig into your relationship and sort things out.

When you have the resilience to create a new money story.

I've walked this road

For most of my life, my relationship with money was in the shadows. I was satisfied if I could pay my bills, and I always had just enough to get by. I kept my horizons limited so that I'd never be out of my comfort zone.

It was a small way to live.

As I grew in other areas of my life, I began to question all sorts of old stories and beliefs. My story about wealth was one of them. I brought money out of the shadows and learned how to have a healthy, creative relationship with it.

Now I earn six figures, reliably. My heart is more open, because I'm more at ease in the world. I'm more creative, because financial worries aren't keeping my ideas small. And I'm making a real difference in thousands of lives, lives I never touched when I was shut down about my relationship with money.

If you are truly committed to working for yourself, please take care of your relationship with money. I know it can be tempting to put off dealing with money issues, especially when you are starting out, but that's exactly when cleaning up your relationship can do the most good.

And, if it feels right, I'd love for you to take care of your relationship with money by attending the Authentic Wealth Tele-retreat.

"There is a vitality, a life force,
a quickening that is translated through you into action,
and because there is only one of you in all time,
this expression is unique.... It is your business
to keep it yours, clearly and directly,
to keep the channel open.” Martha Graham

It takes money to keep the channel open, and it makes me nuts to think of all the good people who will go out of business this year for lack of a good relationship to money.

I want everyone who takes this class to complete it with confidence that they can have a great relationship with money.

Obviously, I can't make that happen. But you can, and to support you in making the most of this investment of your time and energy, I am offering you this guarantee.

The "Life could be a dream" Guarantee

Do dreams come true? I believe that they do, when they are in alignment with your true self and you take modest, purposeful, ongoing action to bring them into reality. In other words, making a dream come true requires commitment to the dream and follow through.

I guarantee that Authentic Wealth will help you realize your dream relationship with money, provided you do two things.

• You attend or listen to at least 5 of the 7 teaching calls.
• You attend or listen to at least 5 of the 7 coaching calls.
• You do 70% of the exercises and practices in each module.

If you do these things, I believe your relationship with money will change profoundly. If it doesn't, I will refund 100% of your investment at the end of the retreat.

Have a question?

If you have any doubt about whether the program is right for you, please share it with me. If I can't help, perhaps I can suggest someone or something that can. But please, don't let a flawed relationship with money keep you from being and doing what only you can be and do.

Testimonials

I have the longest waiting list I've ever had for clients and I feel as if some spigot got opened.
Melissa Gayle West, Seattle, WA

I had preconceived notions that this would probably turn out to be just another one of those money seminars where you get lots of good information, but somehow it gets left in the notebook, or in a desk drawer somewhere, and never really gets activated.

...To say [Authentic Wealth] has been a catalyst for change is an understatement!

... I would highly recommend this tele-retreat to everyone who doesn't see the results in their lives that they want... The practices, information, connections, and coaching in the Authentic Wealth tele-retreat are enough to last many years!

Please feel free to contact me regarding my experience in this tele-retreat or the continuous impact it is having in my daily life!

[Authentic Wealth] went to the heart of my business and how I charge for my services. 

As a result of this work, I have a much clearer picture of who I am in the world and a much stronger sense of control over my money, my work, and my life. 

I recommend Authentic Wealth to anyone who is highly motivated to make a change around money. Molly is insightful, kind, very available, and puts her whole self into her work with others.

Marge Hulburt, Laurel, MD, USA

When I came across Molly Gordon's Authentic Wealth program, I was curious as to how [it might be] possible for me to have a romantic relationship with money.

I must say that it was a very interesting experience and that it helped me bring about the changes necessary for me to work in total confidence [and]  to improve my relation- ship not only concerning money but with everyone in my life.

It is the best investment I have made so far with great return long term with the continued support with the forum, partner work and conference calls.

Thank you Molly for this wonderful tele-retreat, for great things that you are putting in place to make it a success and for just being who you are.

Chantal Grimaud, France
Investment Counselor

The biggest shift for me has been to understand the concept of money and a relationship with it. 

...I wouldn't think of being casual to the point of not respecting a friend, or pet or how I manage my time. So why not bring respect to my relationship with money? 

The results are that I spend less freely and have noticed an appreciation for what I buy that lasts beyond leaving the store.

I gladly and sincerely recommend this to others because it is more than a "get rich quick fix" or an external structure. It is a lifestyle that comes from the only place that is lasting, the inside out.

Dianne Johnson, Seattle, WA, USA

[Authentic Wealth] prompted me to travel to Asia, contribute to my savings account, and raise the prices of my paintings.

Many results are pending, as the material in the course will take time to digest. In Asia I found potential sponsorship for my Fulbright application. Savings will facilitate my spending time in the studio without having to work. And one of my works on paper sold for double its original price.

I am able to assess and accept responsibilities with less resistance and feel stronger in the decisions I make.

I recommend Authentic Wealth to anyone who wants to dig in to long-held attitudes about money. The material can be dense, so don't take the commitment lightly. I would consider taking the course again in order to digest the material more deeply.

I am so excited! I just down-loaded your book and began reading and I just had to stop to send this e-mail to you. I love the way you write and the way you think and, obviously, the way you live it all out! I am thrilled to be able to learn from you and to live these gems myself. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Lee Alden, Certified Facilitator, The Work of Byron Katie™

I'd already read a bunch of marketing books, consulted with a bunch of marketing and branding experts, and listened to more tapes than I can count. Nothing worked very well. Almost none of it rang true, creeping me out rather than motivating me.

Molly's approach snapped me out of my lackadaisical attitude. Thanks to her I am able to more graciously accept my foibles and even to consider that they might be the cherries on the top of the sundae.

As an artist, there is always a struggle between the making of work and the selling/ marketing of product. Molly Gordon hangs it out there for all to see and follow by example.

She is a teacher of authenticity, knowing yourself, feeding your business and thriving as an entrepreneur.

She is a North Star in my humble opinion.

When I was really negative about my abilities to move forward, Molly met me right there. She's been there herself, which is why she's so good at what she does.

Molly helped me, immensely in narrowing down my target audience. Thanks to her, I'm able to make my existing business stronger, while building an exciting new business.

I finally feel confident in knowing exactly what I need to do, which is something I've never felt before.

THANK YOU! Got your book yesterday - I was teaching a hypnosis class when the mail came- started reading at lunch - could hardly put it down & read from it to my class & told them to order it - that they needed it to start their own hypnotherapy practice. I can't wait to read the rest!

I never expected that working on my business would make me feel more comfortable in my own skin.

Molly showed me that I'm not crazy, that what I'm experiencing is normal, and that it's okay to freak out. She gave me things I could do to make it better.

Molly doesn't sugar-coat things, yet she has a positive outlook in her own sassy way. What's different about Molly is the combination of depth with results-oriented practices, all delivered with a liberal dash of humor.

Molly has helped me to learn a way of making decisions and solving problems that has greatly contributed to success in both business and overall contentment in life.

I used to feel like I'd take two steps backward for every step forward. Now, every backward step launches me forward (and sometimes sideways!) and the results in my life and business are tangible and satisfying.

And, at first that is what it seemed what was taking place. Soon I realized through Molly's strategic questioning that her thoughtful coaching style was not only helping me to shape my business but illuminating my entire personal value structure as well.

I was blown away by what I was able to accomplish with Molly's coaching -- I highly recommend her.

Thank you Molly for all you have given through Goldilocks, Authentic Promotion, the forums and now this telesummit. This unique opportunity meets the measures that Michael spoke of. I have to add once again, that I had already derived the full value of the price from the free previews, so the value of the telesummit is so great it's hard to measure.

Mary Bryan Roberts

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. It was a great mix of amazing (and successful) business people who are showing me that it can be done. And who are, by their very out-in-the-worldness, supporting me. In some way, I feel like your team all "has my back." That's pretty amazing.

Meredith Curtin, The Project Nanny

What will change for me? I've had a real tendency to get an "inspired idea" and then sit on it until is disappears. (I'm sure this has never happened to anyone else ;) ). Now I'm getting up and doing it!

Thank you Molly for bringing this together! This is so fun and exciting. I'm sitting in my wonderful new office space, looking out at the blue sky, green trees, mountains on the horizon, and communing with the energy of this group as I finish writing this. I'm not alone! and for that I'm grateful. Signing off with peace and blessings to all,
