"Your life is your story. Write well. Edit often."

As a Life Coach, one of my goals is to help people live a satisfied life.

And this not in terms of physical success , but rather a life on the inside that meets the satisfaction.

Here is one book to has helped me live in a calm way, avoiding the money chase.

Here’s a summary of the nine principles (or steps) with explanations and examples:

OVERVIEW

This book, "YOUR MONEY OR YOUR LIFE" by Vicki Robin and Joe Dominguez is a groundbreaking personal finance book that redefines the relationship between money and life.

It focuses on achieving financial independence by aligning your spending with your values, rather than pursuing wealth at the expense of personal fulfillment.

It introduces a 9-step program that helps readers rethink their approach to money, allowing them to transform their financial life and achieve financial independence.

1. Make Peace with Your Past
This step is about understanding your relationship with money by calculating all the money you have earned in your lifetime and evaluating what you have to show for it.

Explanation:

You track your total lifetime earnings and compare it to your current net worth. This helps you realize whether your past spending reflects the life you wanted or wasted on unnecessary things.

Example:

If someone has earned $300,000 over the years but only has $20,000 in savings, they can see a gap between their income and their financial outcomes, prompting a deeper look at how they’ve been managing their money.

2. Be in the Present—Tracking Your Life Energy
Track your income and expenses with great detail to see where your money is going.

Explanation: Money is life energy; you trade time for money, so the idea is to track every dollar you spend and earn. This helps you understand where your money is going and whether it aligns with your values.

Example: A person earning $20 an hour spends $100 on a night out. This means they’ve traded five hours of their life for that night. If they find this trade-off valuable, they keep doing it, otherwise, they might reconsider future spending.

3. Where Is It All Going?
Categorize your spending and ask yourself if you're getting satisfaction in proportion to what you're spending.

Explanation: This step encourages you to categorize your expenses (e.g., housing, entertainment, food) and evaluate each category in terms of the fulfillment it brings. It helps you determine whether your spending matches your values.

Example: After reviewing their budget, a student may find they’re spending excessively on fast food but feel more fulfilled when they invest in books or courses. This realization allows them to adjust their spending to reflect their true interests.

4. Three Questions That Will Transform Your Life
For every expense, ask:

Did I receive fulfillment, satisfaction, and value in proportion to life energy spent?
Is this expense in alignment with my values and goals?
How would my spending change if I didn’t have to work for a living?

Explanation: This forces a deeper reflection on whether each expense is truly worth the life energy you’ve exchanged for it and if it fits your long-term vision for your life.

Example: A person might realize that buying a new phone every year doesn’t bring lasting satisfaction. They may then choose to invest their life energy elsewhere, like traveling or saving for retirement.

5. Making Life Energy Visible—Your Money and Your Life
Create a wall chart of your monthly income and expenses to visualize your progress toward financial independence.

Explanation: The wall chart provides a clear, visual representation of your financial situation over time. Tracking your income and expenses monthly helps you stay accountable and make better financial decisions.

Example: A student can chart their progress toward paying off student loans. Each month they track their savings and payments, allowing them to see how small changes in their spending accelerate debt repayment.

6. Valuing Your Life Energy—Minimizing Spending
Learn to reduce spending without compromising quality of life by being more deliberate in your choices.

Explanation: This step is about cutting unnecessary expenses by distinguishing between needs and wants. It encourages frugality as a path to financial independence, not as a restriction but as an intentional way to use money for what really matters.

Example: A student decides to cook meals at home instead of eating out, or they choose to buy second-hand books instead of new ones, cutting costs without sacrificing their goals.

7. Valuing Your Life Energy—Maximizing Income
Increase your earnings by seeking out opportunities that align with your values and provide more financial freedom.

Explanation: This step involves finding ways to earn more money through career growth, side hustles, or other income streams, but only in a way that doesn't sacrifice your happiness or values.

Example: A college graduate takes on freelance work that they enjoy, like graphic design or writing, to supplement their income. They prioritize work that aligns with their passion rather than taking any job just for the money.

8. Capital and the Crossover Point
Track your income from investments and savings until it covers your monthly expenses, at which point you achieve financial independence.

Explanation: The "Crossover Point" is when your income from investments is enough to cover your living expenses, meaning you no longer need to work for money. This is the goal of financial independence.

Example: A person saves and invests diligently. Over time, the interest and dividends from their investments grow to cover their monthly living expenses, allowing them to leave their job and focus on passions or volunteer work.

9. Managing Your Money—Becoming Financially Independent
After reaching the Crossover Point, continue managing your investments to maintain financial independence and live a fulfilling life.

Explanation: Financial independence doesn’t mean you stop managing money; it means shifting focus from earning to maintaining and growing your wealth in a sustainable way while enjoying life.

Example: After reaching financial independence, a person might take up volunteer work, pursue a passion project, or travel, while continuing to monitor and adjust their investments to ensure long-term security.

The Key Messages of this Book for Students of Money

1.Money is Life Energy: The book reframes money as the life energy you trade for it, encouraging you to spend and earn with purpose.
Frugality as Freedom: This book promotes frugality, not as deprivation but as a means to financial freedom, allowing you to focus on what really matters in life.

2.Aligning Money with Values: It emphasizes that money should be used as a tool to support your values and the life you want to live, rather than becoming a slave to consumerism or societal expectations.

3. Financial Independence as a Realistic Goal: Through saving, investing, and minimizing unnecessary expenses, anyone can reach financial independence, freeing themselves from the necessity of work.

Students of money can create a structured and practical approach to managing finances, with the ultimate goal of achieving financial independence and living a life true to their values.

Reach for your session now.

Try it 1000/10000 Times of Thomas Edison

1. 1 +1=2
2. 1½+ ½=2
3. ¾ + 1¼=2
This was how the 1000 times trial of Thomas Edison was gotten..

until the right combination gave this same result........
Notice the variation of the quantities?

This is how new things come from old things.

Think this way? You become a Leader.

Don't fool yourself by adding 1+1 = 2, for several times and expect different answers.

This is foolishness.

On power & Control Leadership.

This is an African culture, built on power and the worship of kings. It's been like this since the beginning of history.

Where kings are overseeing their lords or subjects. Some had to be killed because kings wanted them killed, others maimed because it was the kings command.

The pain point is that this culture has permeated into every facet of our existence in Africa, families, communities, churches, mosques, schools, Government, politics, businesses, e.t.c

You can see why in churches we have pastors (overseers) lording over their congregation, and it's trickling down...

In the entrepreneurship industry, there are business owners who lord over every other person and is subjected to bid their worship. why? they pay them salary

I am told it's the same in the music industry also, where the industry giants which every other entertainer is supposed to bow to in deep worship.

In the immediate families, the father is the law and cannot be questioned; any and everything they say is final! Foolish or stupid!

We have not questioned the old traditional leadership, nor studied or taught the renewed definition of leadership, this culture has further found its way into everything we do. It is a pain point.

Anyone who therefore attains the pinnacles of power quickly defaults to this behaviour. I am quite sad.

The end result?

1.There are lots of struggles with managing businesses or groups...

The average business owner wants to be the lord - who dominates others who actually produce the results.
2.The selfish leadership has abondaned service to the society...the society is not growing

3.The menace in the society is leadership caused..it takes leadership to cure and redefine society.

4.Leadership has become an anxiety, stressful,and frustrating adventure.. instead of a life satisfying journey.

The big question now:

1.How can you create a leadership lifestyle that empowers you to bring out the best in the people who follow you and turn them into leaders as well?

2. Is there sustainable leadership style you can put in place that allows you manage your employees, teams, subjects and instead of being their 'lord,' you become a stepping stone for their greatness?

The main thing in Leadership now is Servant Leadership.

Leadership showing itself as a concern to serve others FIRST.

Have you thought of why tech growth is not showing in society growth?

It's not reducing human problems. Joy is still very scarce. Happiness is still a mirage.

It looks like tech advancement is only a differentiation of the yet constant problems of society.

This is because the matching growth to technical growth in a leadership style that serves people of the society.

It is analog to serve self first in this digital era.

Servant Leadership in our lives is the goal for our coaching and consulting.

This is the only way the benefits of technology can crystalize into the general benefit of society.
