ONE Skill You Must Have to Be Financially Successful

Most people think that if they only had a lot of money, they will feel financially secure…

NOT TRUE!

HAVING money doesn’t mean you know what to DO with it.

MANY high-income earners live paycheck-to-paycheck and are NOT financially free.

During my complimentary money strategies sessions, I speak with a lot of women from all walks of life. And MANY successful high-income earners…live paycheck-to-paycheck and are not financially free!!

And that’s not all.

While over 63% of Americans are currently living paycheck-to-paycheck, many are now worried about safety of their money at the banks!

NOW, more than EVER before, you’ve got to be financially savvy, so that you can make better financial decisions.

We all wear many hats in life – parents’ hat, spouse hat, employee or entrepreneur hat, and… money manager hat – your money manager.

Each “hat” you wear requires certain skillsets – like communication skills, parenting skills, specialized skills in your area of expertise as an employee or entrepreneur…

Some skills are “nice to have” and some skills are necessary.

And there is ONE particular skill that everyone – regardless of your education, type of work, your upbringing or your natural talents – must have to be financially successful.

This skill is… Savvy money management.

And since it’s such a foundational skill, it’s outrageous that it’s not taught at schools and colleges…

You’ve got to be financially savvy!!

You must know your numbers – what’s coming in and what’s coming out.

You must have a healthy relationship with your money.

Yep, you’ve got to know how to be intentional with your money – how to manage it, how to grow it and how to protect it.

Whether you manage your retirement funds yourself (like I do) or outsource it to financial advisers, you’ve got to be an informed consumer!

Money is like a game and, sadly, many people lose it before they even start….

Financial ignorance is very expensive.

Everybody wants to be financially free, yet most people don’t know HOW to WIN the Money game OR don’t believe it’s possible for THEM to be financially free… so, they don’t even start!!…

And that’s where I come in…

When I work with clients, I use the MILLENaire Method – my holistic system for becoming financially independent.

This method addresses 4 areas of life that influence financial success the most: money mindset, money management, money investing, and… spirituality.

This is the exact method that I used in my life to become financially independent in 7 years….

Financial Freedom doesn’t happen by accident.

You must have a clear intention, commitment and a plan.

I was the least likely person to become financially free… was divorced, depressed, and broke… yet now I’m financially free for over 13 years and own homes in South Florida and in the South of France.

And I can help you become financially savvy and grow your money with less stress and less risk, so that you too create your best rich life and never have to worry about money again.

Message me privately if becoming financially independent is one of your “non-negotiable” goals.

To your Health, wealth and Freedom!

5 Simple Tips for Creating Your Best Rich Life

Today I want to share some insights on how to use the power of intention to transform financial fears.

In the current economic climate, it’s natural to experience fear and anxiety around money and financial future.

And the tax return filing deadline we have in the U.S. this week only adds more stress to our already hectic lives.

As a holistic financial independence mentor, I understand that the fear of not having enough money, of losing money, or of not being good with money can be overwhelming.

However, you can harness the power of your intentions and elevated emotions by coupling your intentions with the powerful emotion of fear to take control of your money and your financial future.

By setting clear specific intentions, connecting to your intentions emotionally (e.g.

getting excited, grateful, loving, forgiving, etc.) and committing to your

financial goals, you can tap into your spiritual power and achieve unimaginable

success and create your best rich life.

Here are some tips to get started:

1. Set your intention(s).

Define your values and write down your intentions. What motivates you to achieve your financial goals? Setting your intention will help you stay focused and motivated.

2. Commit to your goals.

Make a decision to commit to your goals and take aligned action towards achieving your financial goals. This can be as simple as saving for emergencies, creating a budget, or investing for the long term. By taking aligned actions, you will build momentum and start seeing results.

3. Practice gratitude.

Gratitude is a powerful spiritual practice that can help shift your mindset from fear to abundance.

You cannot be grateful and fearful at the same time!

Take a moment every day to reflect on the things you are grateful for in your life, including your financial situation.

4. Visualize your best rich life.

Once you write down your intentions, visual them. Visualization is a powerful tool that can help you overcome limiting beliefs and visualize your desired financial future. Take a few minutes every day to visualize yourself achieving your financial goals, feeling confident and empowered.

5. Have faith. Trust the Universe.

Trusting the Universe means believing that everything happens for a reason and that you are on the right path. When you trust the Universe, you allow yourself to surrender in faith and open yourself up to incredible opportunities and abundance.

I recently had a fantastic 3-part interview with Dr Nisha Manek, MD, who studied the power of intention from the scientific standpoint.

She shares her insights about transforming a powerful negative emotion like fear into an incredibly powerful positive force by coupling it with laser-focused intentions and elevated emotions.

Watch the last part of this 3-part interview series in the latest episode of the More Money with Millen show ” Your Path From Fear To Freedom”.

Remember, expanding your awareness about your true nature and your spiritual power is a personal journey, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach.

What works for one person may not work for another.

However, by incorporating spiritual practices into your financial planning, you can tap into a source of power that can help you overcome fear and create your best rich life.

If you want guidance or support on your financial journey, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I am here to help you WIN the Money Game and create your best rich life.

To your Health, Wealth and Freedom! 🙏 💖

#1 METHOD to Magnetize Wealth and Success with Ease
How to Manifest Wealth and Success with Ease

Have you noticed how easy it is for you to focus on what’s missing or what’s not working in your life?

Somehow, human brain is programmed to focus on what’s NOT working instead of what IS working.

And since what you focus on, expands, focusing on problems, scarcity and lack leads to perpetual worries, doubts, and fears, which, in turn, attract more of the same.

Yet the simplest way to attract ‘good things’ is to focus on what “good things” you already have in your life…

And the easiest yet profoundly powerful way to do this is to feel thankful and PRACTICE Gratitude.

Yes, PRACTICE… continuously.

Because GRATITUDE heals the wounds, uplifts, calms, softens, and inspires.

When you think about being grateful for something or someone, you instantly shift your energy to the inner wellbeing, even when the external circumstances are challenging.

And then MAGIC happens! Because living in gratitude attracts opportunities and abundance.

You might be thinking “It’s not that simple, Millen…”

Yes, I hear you…

When you go through a series of health or financial challenges, or a job loss, or a divorce… when money is tight and you cannot buy what you want, it’s easy to fall into habitual patterns of frustration, worries and fear.

I fact, many people think that once they achieve financial abundance, business success, “ideal relationship, etc., THEN they will have a “reason” to be authentically grateful.

NO, it’s NOT how it works!

In order to receive what you want, you’ve got to first FEEL as if you already have it…

You’ve got to FEEL that it’s coming your way…

Yet don’t expect to experience something immediately after you ask for and imagine “it.”

Instead, set an intention and you WILL eventually receive it.

It’s also interesting to observe how we tend to overlook many things we can be grateful for right NOW simple because we’re accustomed to them!

You already have them, so why focus on what you already have, right?

Actually, wrong.

That is EXACTLY what you’ve got to focus on and be grateful for.

Remember that you are loved and blessed in so many ways….

Even when it seems like God (the Universe / Field) doesn’t have your back… when you feel lonely, crashed or broke… you still have a few things to be grateful for….

Let me remind you some simple things that you may have forgotten to be grateful for that many people in the world may not have….
- Peaceful country
- Roof over your head
- Electricity
- Clean running water
- Fresh air
- Money
- Food
- Toilet at home
- Family (and friends)
- Access to doctors and hospitals
- Access to the Internet
- Clients you have, had, and will have
- Sunshine
- Rain
You may not have ALL of these things but you do have most of them. Focus on that.

NOTHING should be taken for granted.

So, whatever your situation might be right now, don’t feel discouraged, embarrassed or guilty…. these emotions carry high negative charge.

Instead, make a list of at least 10 things that you are grateful for…

Focus on them… Use them as your catalyst to shift your perception and activate your ‘Attitude of Gratitude.’

Count your blessings, dear… you have a few!

As for me….

I feel blessed and deeply grateful for all the abundance I’ve received in my life – people, experiences, and opportunities that enriched my life.

I feel incredibly thankful for and humbled by the love I receive EVERY day from my husband, daughter, clients, and… God.

And I feel grateful for you, dear reader!

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog, for your intention to better yourself and your life.

To express my appreciation, I want to GIFT you my new guide “How to Control Your Money, So It will NEVER Control You.”

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones!

How to Overcome Fear of Investing

As you may know, I believe that developing a wealth mindset and understanding the metaphysical laws of money and abundance are the essential elements of creating Financial Independence.

However, being savvy about managing and investing your money is another essential aspect of creating Financial Independence.

If you don’t save and don’t invest your money strategically, no matter how much you may be earning right now, it’s unlikely that you’ll enjoy financial independence or have a comfortable early retirement.

Unfortunately, many women are afraid of investing because they are afraid to lose money…

And when they hear confusing advise (like “You should diversify!” and “NO! Don’t diversify!”) – they resign to doing nothing (and lose time and opportunities) OR choose to delegate managing their money to advisors, spouses, or partners…and often lose even more money.

That’s why, today, I chose to share this short video with you.

Now, I have a question for you.

What would your life be like if you could do what you want, buy what you want, have the amazing experiences you want…without worrying about money?

And if you’re ready to trade worries about money for complete freedom, why not get started now?

I’ve opened up a few slots for my PRIVATE Complimentary “Financial Freedom Lifestyle” sessions, where you can see your worry-free future unfolding in front of you.

Sound exciting?

Great!

Send me an email to Millen@DareToChangeLife.com with the subject line Financial Freedom Lifestyle, describe your current situation, financial goals and timeframes, and your level of commitment to your goals (on a scale of 1-10).

I look forward to hearing from you!

To your Health, Wealth, and Freedom!

There Are Two Categories of Women. Which One Do You Put Yourself In?

Do you feel like time flies faster and faster, or it’s just me?

Is it my age or the age we live in? Or both? LOL

I’m spending my last week at a healing facility in the French Alps.
I enjoy taking the time to nourish my body with different thermal baths, thermal mud treatments, and hydro-massages.

And each Sunday, I visited local attractions – castles, beautiful parks, lakes, and small cities.

I meditate a lot here…

And every moment, I feel SO infinitely grateful for the life I have created…my beautiful daughter, loving husband, amazing clients, incredible adventures and travels….
FREEDOM of time and choices.

So, what occurred to me may sound somewhat controversial, but hear me out….

What occurred to me is that there’re two kinds of women in the world:

1. Women who spend their whole lives working to make money.

AND

2. Women who enjoy FREEDOM in their lives because they figured out how to make their money work for them.

Would you agree?

Those women in the first category often make a good living – have high-paying jobs or run profitable businesses – yet they still don’t have the FREEDOM and INDEPENDENCE that they crave so deeply.

While the women in the second category have learned how to think, plan, and act strategically with their money. And voila…they can choose when and how much (or how little) to work, who to spend time with, where to live, how to be….etc

So, which category do you think are in? First, second, or somewhere in between?

The good news is that it’s a simple transformation to get from the first to the second category.

It may not be easy, but it is simple. Unfortunately, we don’t learn this at school.

If you have young kids, they observe your choices and life experiences and unconsciously repeat them, just like you probably got programmed by observing your parents. You don’t need me to tell you how important it is to model “good money habits” for children.

So, if you happen to be in the first category, are you going to wait for the pandemic to be over to start planning your desired financial future? Or for the economic condition to improve, for getting married or for your partner to be more supportive, or making more money at your job or business?

How many more years are you willing to wait before you start creating your Financial Independence so that YOU, too, enjoy more freedom in your life?

Ask yourself these questions.

After all, none of us are getting any younger….

Let me know what you think about my controversial “download.”

To your Health, Wealth, and Freedom!

P.S. Sometimes tough times are what call us to grow. And to step into things we normally wouldn’t be “ready” for.

If you crave more FREEDOM in YOUR life, you may want to connect with me ASAP.

I want to help you identify YOUR fastest path to Financial Independence.

Six Lessons to Boost Peace of Mind and Happiness
Today I want to share with you some insights from my time off the grid.

A few months ago I felt a deep desire to make time for my inner expansion – to focus on refining my awareness, honing my focus and clarifying my vision.

I strongly believe that there are times when we need to slow down to speed up.

So, for my B-day, I chose to go to the Buddhist Meditation Center (to the disappointment of my family members and the curiosity of some friends.)

Spending almost a week at the Buddhist Meditation center reconfirmed my deep conviction that our mind is the control center of our life experiences.

It was my first exposure to the Science of Conciseness according to Buddhism.

While I love many wise sayings attributed to Buddha and have read/heard a few times about Karma, Reincarnation and the Wheel of Life, I haven’t really dived into those concepts that much…until the visit to the meditation center.

Some questions that I couldn’t answer before could be reasonably answered using the concept of Karma (e.g. “How come some young children get cancer?!” or “Can a human being in this life be reborn in a different form in the next life?”)

The Buddhist notion of mind’s delusions like attachments (to our wishes being fulfilled, or to our opinions and beliefs), mistaken aspirations, anger, hatred, jealousy, ignorance (a.k.a. mistakes in perceptions) resonated with me deeply.

“All our problems are caused by our attachments to the uncontrolled desires.”

I love the depth of Buddhists’ appreciation for the “preciousness of human life” and how the loving-kindness, compassion and cherishing others are inherent attributes of Buddhist teachings.

“Every person has the potential to be a Buddha in making.” Yep, that means YOU and I are “Buddha in making.” Very cool, isn’t it?

And the sober reminder of the impermanence of our lives (one time we meditated on death…just to cheer us up LOL) kinda shook me up and made every moment of my life and every person I love and appreciate 100X more precious…

Frankly, I’m still processing many profound concepts (e.g. the idea of emptiness, the Buddhist perception of death, etc.) as I work my way through these teachings.

However, what I want to share with you briefly today is SIX practical applications of the Buddhist teachings.

Please note that these are NOT exact Buddhist lessons but rather my personal inference of the teachings I received.
1. There are no inherently “faulty/broken/evil” people. We all, at some point in time, are controlled by the mind’s delusions (e.g. attachments, anger, ignorance, etc.) So, we must distinguish a person from her/his delusions and refrain from judgments and discrimination.
1. Every human has a vast potential for happiness and success…within her/him. The potentiality of the mind is like seeds of consciousness. That’s why it is SO important to be aware of your thoughts and feelings and be able to intentionally choose what you focus on and how you want to feel.
1. YOU are not your mind and not your body. That’s why YOU can control your mind and your body. Also, it’s important to feel the acceptance of our [physical] death. Nothing is permanent and life is not about building a citadel around you, to protect yourself from suffering….Life is meant to be experienced.
1. You, as a human being, have a powerful ability to engage with your imagination. You can ask questions like “What would need to take place for me to ________?” You can imagine living your desired reality. You can visualize the place/time where your current predicament doesn’t exist… Any end of suffering starts in your imagination. Imagination IS a functioning faculty of your mind.
1. Your gracious and effortless presence in this world can be the greatest contribution to others. Shifting your focus from your challenges and predicaments to other people’s challenges and suffering is a powerful technique to help release your attachments and suffering.
1. The roots of all our problems lie in the uncontrollable, un-peaceful mind. The true, lasting happiness can only be found within a peaceful mind. Only by creating peace within our mind and helping others do the same, we can make the world a better place.
OK, I think you’ve got the gist of these valuable teachings (and this is just scratching the surface) – just enough to remind yourself that YOU have limitless potential and tremendous inner power. You can create anything you set your mind to create (as long as you keep reasonable expectations and are detached from the outcome). And your life, as it is right now, is very rare and precious.

Now…I would LOVE to know what you think about this topic, what resonated with you, what feels foreign to you…

So, go to my private Facebook group “Wealth Building for Powerful women” and share your insights and opinions. I promise – we will NOT judge them!

To Your Peace, Power, and Prosperity!
