Key Takeaways

Money is not the root of all evil. The obsession with money and prioritizing it above everything else is the root of all evil.
Our money stories can be changed, and limiting beliefs around money can still exist at any level of wealth.
Encouraging children to budget and plan for their future is a valuable lesson that can set them up for success.
Developing a healthy relationship with money comes from within and starts with self-belief and self-worth.
Changing your relationship with money is a journey and a work in progress, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution.

#88 How to Ask for Money

Welcome to the latest episode of Let’s Talk Money and More Podcast where I answer a question posed by a member of my Facebook Community ‘Where Money goes Mindset Grow’, who asked how can she remove her money challenge, when asking for money she is owned, or for sponsorship for a good cause. Which truthfully, can be a difficult task. So in this episode, I will provide you with some practical tips to help you become more confident and successful in your money conversations. Enjoy tuning in!

Key Takeaways

Detach any sense of asking for money from your self-worth and focus on the fact that you are asking for what is rightfully yours or for a good cause.
Be fully prepared before you ask for money by planning ahead and visualizing a positive outcome to eliminate nerves.
Be clear and concise with your request to help the other person know exactly what is required of them.
Focus on positive outcomes rather than potential rejection when asking for money and model polite behavior expressing gratitude.
Rehearse difficult money conversations to gain confidence and remember that the more money conversations you have, the more comfortable you will be talking about money.
