How Our Archetypes Influence Our Financial Behaviour

I open my book Heart, Mind & Money by explaining that we all have a little bit of the prostitute archetype in us because we all have the capacity to do things for money. Things we don’t want to do.

We have multiple archetypes - one is dominant. But the dominant archetype may not run the show when it comes to money.

It may be the shadow of that archetype that runs the show or it may be any of our other archetypes.

We also have collective archetypes and those also have a huge/ major influence on the money archetypes as well.

Because these are the archetypes and shadows we see play out in our daily lives.

But somewhere in the midst of all this, something happened to me – anger!

Defining Success For Ourselves

We lose control of our destiny when we let others define success for us

Jim Rohn once said, “Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.”
