Voices of Courage - Episode 073: The Courage to Overcome Your Money Issues with guests Ken Honda and Dame Doria Cordova

 

Today we discuss overcoming money issues and welcoming abundance into our lives.

 

What is true success? Is it having a big home, a fancy car, and lots of money in the bank? Is it being debt-free? Many of us feel that our income is too low, our debt is too high, and that we’re stuck where we are with very little opportunity to improve our current financial state.

The truth is, there is a lot of abundance out there, and money is flowing in all areas of our lives if we’re looking in the right direction. What it really comes down to is being able to change your thinking and shift what you’re focusing on in order to achieve your full potential.

My first guest, Ken Honda, best-selling self-development author in Japan, is a money and happiness expert that asserts that it’s possible for anyone, no matter their current financial status, to live with more ease in their relationship to money. He joins me today to share how to create a life of abundance by changing our relationship with money.

My second guest, Dame Doria (DC) Cordova, CEO and owner of Excellerated Business Schools®  for Entrepreneurs / Money & You® program, which is a global organization that has over 145,000 graduates from around the world. She joins me today to discuss why the combination of understanding consciousness principles and proven business tools and strategies is key to success for a conscious entrepreneur.

 

We Discuss:

  • What true success looks like for different people and if money and happiness go hand in hand
  • How to change our thinking and shift our energy on the abundance that surrounds us
  • Happy money vs. unhappy money and the significance of our personal relationship with money

  • Embracing our learning experiences and mistakes and then transforming them into success
  • What we need to know to overcome our money issues and transition from lack to abundance
