LEONIE:

Hello and welcome to the Money and Manifesting workshop. I am Leonie

Dawson. I'm going to be sharing with you my top tips on creating your own financial freedom and abundance and to how bring more of that gorgeous,

glorious prosperity into your life.

So to begin, I just want you to sit in meditation just centering yourself and getting yourself ready for all other things that we're going to be sharing here today.

Taking deep breathes, connecting in with your centre. There is nowhere else you need to be. There is nothing else you need to be doing - just be here now. May

you know that abundance is possible. May you know that prosperity is opening its paths before you. May you know this journey of financial freedom is a beautiful

way to evolve as a soul to face all your unhealed parts and step in to your power.

We as women are the ones that will change the world. We as women have open hearts and open minds. We as women are the ones most likely to use money to

help our children, to help our community, and to help our world. Let us step into our destiny as conscious creators of money, and responsible and excellent

custodians of money, managing it beautifully, being conscious of it, and healing our story around it so that it becomes a place of joy and abundance in spirit for us. So

that it becomes just a part of every other part of our lives. Nothing to be scared of, nothing to be worried about, nothing to be afraid of. It is all just beautiful and

in sync with our spirit. May this be for the blessing and good of all in this world, including the animals and the earth, and all souls. Aho.

So thank you for stepping up. Thank you for saying "Yes" to this. Thank you for saying, "Yes, I want to know about money. I want to know about healing my relationship with money. I want to know how to manifest it, and bring even more of it into my life." So during this session I really want you to stay focused. So,

make sure you've got everything else closed down. Don't use this time to multi-task. This is not the time to multi-task. This is the hour of the month that you really

need to be centred and focused and just taking all of this information in, and letting it sit in your spirit.

So by all means have a pen and paper out to take notes, because this is so, so important. And this is the stuff that really can impact our life and our income, most

of all. So stop hunting and gathering other information. Just stay here, be present now and hear what information I'm going to share with you.

We'll go for about an hour today and after the hour is complete, then I'll open up for questions, for about 15 minutes or so. So just be present and stay focused and

allow this information to seep through. I will share as much information as I possibly can to help you on your path right now, and we will continue this money

story because I think it's a really important one. I've got lots of things to talk to you about money.

This journey, for me, began about ten years ago, when I started blogging, when I

started my business, and I've learned something every day, really, since then. It's an ongoing educational process. You don't just learn it all and go, "Boom! Yeah! I

Page 3: Money and Manifesting Workshop Transcript - Amazon S3and+Manifesting+Workshop+T… · you know that abundance is possible. May you know that prosperity is opening its paths before

am set for the rest of my life." It is an ongoing process, and you will hit your own money blocks and your own money stories. I will share some of my own money

blocks and money stories with you later on, and I'm sure you'll get a really good chuckle out of those, because they are really funny.

The first thing I wanted to share with you is tip number one: Start with gratitude. Know you have so much already and you have so many opportunities. You have the Internet, you have access to education through the Academy. You can use all

this information for the betterment of your life, your income, your business, your soul. What an amazing time in the world that we are in. How cool is it that we

are going to be much just because we are able to access the Internet! Bloody brilliant! Start from that place of empowerment and gratitude.

The second step is get clarity. So many of us are so afraid of numbers. I'm so

amazed at people when you ask them, "How much money do you earn?" they don’t know, and "How much money do you spend?" they don’t know. They don’t

know what’s in their savings or they have zero savings because it's not just a part of their consciousness.

So I want you to get familiar with your numbers and don't be afraid of them.

It's such a wonderful exciting opportunity for you to get intimate with your numbers, and don't apply judgments and values onto them. What I mean by that

is just start seeing numbers as numbers. When you look at your bank balance, when you look at your income or you look at your expenses instead of going, "God

Page 4: Money and Manifesting Workshop Transcript - Amazon S3and+Manifesting+Workshop+T… · you know that abundance is possible. May you know that prosperity is opening its paths before

I'm a bad girl" or "What's all this money doing, where is it going?" Instead of having those freak-outs which I think is the reason so many of us don't get

intimate with their numbers, is just start going, "Okay this is a number. I'm writing it down and don't have any judgment about it." Just go, "Okay this is where it's at." Knowing that when you look at those numbers, it will increase your consciousness, and you will start looking at things more strategically. And things

will start shifting in the direction that you want to go, i.e. having less debt, more savings, and enough financial abundance.

You also want to have your big why.

And I think this is where people get stuck. So number three is having your big

why. Why do you want to be financially abundant?

Because for me, when I used to think about abundance and earning money, I felt

afraid of earning a lot of money because I thought that would make me a certain

person. I thought that would mean that I would have to buy shit that I didn't

need, which for me isn't part of my value system. My value system is looking after the environment, and really still living a simple lifestyle. So for me I had to write

down a list.

So your homework - you can even do it right now - is your big Why. Why do you want to be financially abundant? And for me my big why is because I

wanted to be able to live anywhere that I wanted in the world. I didn't want to have to just stay in a city where there was work. I didn't want to be forced to

send my kids to a school that I didn't want to send them to. You know I wanted to be able to have enough money so to be able to go to any school that we felt was

the right choice for them. That was really important to me.

It's also still really important to me that we have enough money for creativity. So we've got enough money to try out different crafts and go to different workshops,

have lots of musical instruments around, and buy a great camera that works. Those are all really important things to me and to my husband, and something

that we really want to be able to give to our kids. We want to be able to allow them to have as many creative tools as they like to use them. I also feel it is really

important for us to be able to spend any money that we need on educational choices for them. I'm not really big into flash toys or anything like that for them.

But holy dooley, show me an educational game and I'm all over that shit because that excites me so, so much.

Other parts of my big why is I really wanted to live on an acreage or a farm -

which we do - which is wonderful. And I wanted to just stop worrying about money, I didn't want my husband to have to work and for him to be away from

our family all the time. So those are the big whys is to be able to create really beautiful support for my family and we've created that, and of course once those

have been achieved, my next goal were, "Okay, how can I make this company sustainable? How can I support the company so that I don't get super burnt out by hiring staff, and how can I contribute to the world more through philanthropy?"

Philanthropy has always been a really big important part of my soul mission for me. So we support a large range of charities each year and as more money flows

Page 6: Money and Manifesting Workshop Transcript - Amazon S3and+Manifesting+Workshop+T… · you know that abundance is possible. May you know that prosperity is opening its paths before

 

© Leonie Dawson International Pty Ltd 6

in I’m able to channel that into even more beautiful ways for the world to heal.

At the moment, me and a couple of friends are pooling enough money together to build a school, which I think is the coolest thing ever. How exciting is that? I'm

very, very excited and in love with that, and we've got sponsored children, and we support the World Wildlife Fund, and I sponsor a buffalo, because buffalo's my

totem animal as well, and we're big supporters of Kiva, and all sorts of things. Those are my big whys, those are the things that light me up.

You have to realise that having lots of money doesn't mean that you have to be

like anything, and I think we need to talk about this more. We need to talk about what we want to do with our money. Talk about all the ways that it excites us,

and fuels us up. If travel is a part of your equation and your big values, claim that. If having the opportunity to go on holidays for three months a year is your thing,

cool, go for that. Have your big why. Why is financial abundance important to you? Maybe it's as simple as you don't want to have freak outs every single

month when the rent and the bills are due. That's totally cool, have that as your big why. Write down your big why, because that will propel you forward into

your future because you realise that money is a beautiful and a good thing.

So that's the third point, your big why. Now your fourth step is bringing

awareness whenever you're making purchases. Bring awareness whenever you're

buying anything, just ask yourself why are you purchasing? Why are you purchasing this? Is it because it's contributing to your big why, or is it for another

reason you're not really sure why? Are you buying it out of boredom? Are you buying it because you want to feel good? Are you buying it because you feel like

Page 7: Money and Manifesting Workshop Transcript - Amazon S3and+Manifesting+Workshop+T… · you know that abundance is possible. May you know that prosperity is opening its paths before

you have to but you don't actually?

So when it's not for positive, you could absolutely do without it. I mean, I know

this is funny, I know people would probably have a bit of perception that because I've a million dollar company now, and for all intents and purposes, I'm financially

free, I still don't go out and buy shit. It's not a part of my value system. What's more, you are going to learn that people who have a lot of money don't

necessarily spend a lot of money on just random shit. They realised that money is an important thing to manage when you have it.

When it comes in you don't just throw it back out in the world willy nilly on shit

you don't need. I still live on of budget and I know it's really funny, but I still live on a budget. I still I buy second hand stuff. I still go op-shopping (a co-op in

America). You can buy a shirt like 20 cents, and it's been pre-loved, pre-loved stores. I still love that stuff. I still get such a jolly out of it [chuckles]. And of course

why would I spend like $30, $50 on a shirt, when I can get one for 20 cents especially since fashion is not one of my values. If it is one of your values, cool, but

you don't have to all of a sudden be somebody that you're not. I think it is so much more important for me to use that money to look after my family, to set us

up for financial freedom in the future, and to do philanthropy, instead of just chucking out money on shit I don't need or want.

So just make sure that you when you're purchasing, you're doing it for the right reason. Now the next step is have regular buy nothing periods. Again like you

would not expect for me to be talking about this, as somebody who owns a million dollar company and is financially free. But I think it's still so important. I think it's so

Page 8: Money and Manifesting Workshop Transcript - Amazon S3and+Manifesting+Workshop+T… · you know that abundance is possible. May you know that prosperity is opening its paths before

important for us to realise that we have everything that we need. And we don't need to just keep on pulling more and more into our lives to make us feel better.

You know, I still like-- maybe I should call myself a millionaire minimalist or something. It's just, we just don't need so much shit. I'm thinking even for Christmases this year, we'll just do a hand-made Christmas. I'm just going to make

stuff for my kids, because I can make stuff and I love making stuff. Why would I buy shit? You know, I might need to buy a few materials, but great, that's it. And

make things for my friend's kids and I just get so much more enjoyment out of it and I feel like things are so much more meaningful that way.

Another thing I do is with my kid's baby clothes, I don't keep them because I'm

not a-- I don't want to use the word hoarder, but I just don't keep things for the future. I'd probably take a picture of it and then put it in a book, but I'm not going

to keep a big bag of baby clothes. If that's your thing, totally cool. That's awesome that it's your thing. It's just not my thing. So what I end up doing is I keep the

really special ones to send on to friends when they have their babies and say, "Here's pre-loved and pre-adored." It's a really beautiful tradition now within my

group of friends, is that we send each other little special clothes that just keep on making their way around the circle, and it's really beautiful to see our children in

the same clothes. It's a really nice connection factor.

We regularly have buy-nothing periods. In fact, me and Chris are having a buy nothing period at the moment because we went through a stage were we did a

bunch of house renovations - just little ones - and we bought some furniture that we really needed. Then I was like, "I'm satiated now, I don't really want to buy

Page 9: Money and Manifesting Workshop Transcript - Amazon S3and+Manifesting+Workshop+T… · you know that abundance is possible. May you know that prosperity is opening its paths before

anything." I was just buying things just for the joy of it, just to spend money basically and I just thought, "Okay. We don't really need to do that. It doesn't

make me feel any better." So I would rather just enjoy what we have. So you can call it "enjoy what we have" periods. So we do this really quite regularly, at least

once a year, maybe twice a year. We'll just go, "For the next month or two, we're not going to buy anything really."

Of course we'll buy groceries that we need and essential supplies, but Internet shopping stops. Visiting gift stores and visiting superfluous stores stop. And we get

to use what's in the fridge. We absolutely go through periods we're like, "Okay, we have a lot of random shit in that fridge and in our cupboard, so let's just use

this time and use it all up". And we get really creative with what we're making. We've started this years ago when we were really broke and poor. We were like,

"Okay, lets save money this week by using everything that's in our fridge and cupboard." And yet I think it's still such an important thing to do, because you

don't want to throw out food. So just use what's there and get creative and enjoy it, it's so much fun. We really approach it from that fun place like "Woohoo! How

exciting's this. We're going to have to really work out how to use up this food. I guess we're going to have spaghetti pizza tonight!” And it can be so much fun.

And of course that also means we can't buy more books. We love books and that's one of our things that we love purchasing. But we have a gazillion books

that we haven't read in the bookcase and in the Kindle. So those periods are times when we just go, "We’re just going to read what we have." And we regularly say

to each other, "You know what, I'm not buying any more book until I finished reading everything that we have." A couple of years ago I went crazy on this and

Page 10: Money and Manifesting Workshop Transcript - Amazon S3and+Manifesting+Workshop+T… · you know that abundance is possible. May you know that prosperity is opening its paths before

I ended up doing - I call it the Great Book Release program - and I had to either read the book or decide I'm never going to read this book and all of them got sold,

or donated to charity, or given to friends as I felt like they needed it. And that was really useful to me to just realise, "Okay you know what. Clear slate here, and use

what I have and really enjoy it." And it's those buy nothing periods or enjoy what you have periods are so useful because then we'll find amusement in free things.

We'll go to bush walks, we'll go to the beach, and we'll just remember, "Oh my gosh, there is so much out there that we don't need to spend money on. We can

just enjoy ourselves."

So have those Buy Nothing Periods. It's funny because you think, "Leonie, you should only be talking about this if we're talking about being really economical,

and being thrifty, and all that sort of stuff." Thriftiness is absolutely a part of abundance. It's absolutely a part of enjoying what you have and feeling abundant.

There's so many cool things that we can do that don't necessarily require money. I

used to have such fantastic times even when I was broke. I would have creative corners at work and my old boss Lile, she still remembers these. At lunch times we

would have these things. We'd bring in craft supplies, and we'd bring in our home cooked meals and we'd sit at a table at work and we would do craft projects

during our lunch hours. And it was so much fun.

Or otherwise I would have taken myself to a solo artist day, and I would go to the

park and I would take a blanket, and I would lay down with a book and my journal and I would just have the most magnificent time on Earth. At the park.

Yeah! Because that's what fuels me up, and I realise going shopping doesn't

fucking fuel me up, I feel tense, I feel anxious, I feel like I have to buy something, and I feel like I'm doing without when I go and look at shops endlessly. But when

you put yourself in places where you realise you've got everything you need, Gosh it's so fun and so cool.

So, point number five is I want you to rethink money. Money doesn't make you anything but more of what you are, and I've heard this said by so many teachers now that I don't know who to attribute it to. The person that I heard it through

first was Ali Brown. I am an unabashed Ali Brown fan. I just love her. I just feel like she's an archangel of abundance [laugher]. Actually, I am an unabashed fan

girl of Ali! Sometimes I have dreams about her [chuckles]. Not sex dreams. If that's what you're thinking, that's not what these dreams are about. They're

dreams about me and her meeting and having long talks. And I wake up the morning and I write it down. There you go. There's my secret of unabashed Ali

Brown fan. Anyway, Ali Brown is the one I've heard it from is that money doesn't make you anything but more of what you are.

Am I a happier person because I'm rich now? It's a yes and no question, my level

of happiness has not increased at all in that-- I'm really grateful and excited that I don't have to worry about money any more, I'm really really grateful for the life

that we have, but over day to day mindset basis, I'm still the same level of happiness, because I was really happy before as well. And I think that's really

important for you to realise, that don't wait for money to make you happy because it's not. It's still going to be something that you have to develop within

you, I mean money is fucking cool and it gives you so many options and choices but the way that you live your day, and the way that you respond to things, react

Page 12: Money and Manifesting Workshop Transcript - Amazon S3and+Manifesting+Workshop+T… · you know that abundance is possible. May you know that prosperity is opening its paths before

to things, it totally doesn't matter whether your broke or whether you are swimming in the money.

So get happy now and enjoy your life now no matter where you're at in your

financial abundance journey. I noticed my husband he's not necessarily happier, than what he was, he's grateful for all of the blessings. But on a day to basis, he's

basically the same person that he used to be. Money is wonderful, money is exciting, money gives you so many opportunities, but on a day to day basis, it's

your attitude that counts. Now more than ever is the time for you to practice gratitude, for you to practice choosing joy as an option in every moment, and

stepping up into your light and into your brightness, and realising that's who you are. You can have as much fun as you like in this world and you are the one who

gets to create it. Because you're the conscious creator of all of your experiences, not just money.

So realise that and also realise that it is okay to have money. I think so many

spiritual leaning people and hippies and really sensitive people, we have this deep seated belief that it is pious to be poor, and that it means we're better people if we

are broke. And if we are financially abundant there is a smell of ass hole about that. And I just think, "Wow. Where did this belief in us come from?" Because, of

course I absolutely dealt with it as well. I absolutely dealt with this belief that I couldn't make more money because that would make me an ass hole. And some

times I still run up against it. You know you still have blocks at other levels and you know as you move up in income you keep on hitting more blocks.

So you know, I want you to realise it is a fantastic thing to have money. It doesn't

make you more greedy, it doesn't make you less compassionate. It doesn't make you more superficial. It doesn't make you anything but more of what you are so if

you are happy when you're broke, if you were generous when you were broke, if you're compassionate when you were broke, if you were creative when you were

broke. Guess what? You're rich. You're just going to be more of those things. And it means when you're-- you're happy because you don't have as many stresses,

and of course you're going to get more generous, because you've got more money to go, "Cool. I can do really fucking cool things now."

I remember the tsunamis in Bali, and we just didn't have that much money at that time, and I remember donating $100 to the Red Cross Appeal and that, to me,

felt huge. I'm so grateful to myself for doing that. Even when it felt huge, like, "Oh, fucking hell, $100, okay," and donate it. And now we donate tens of thousands of

dollars every single year to charity, and it's like. Ding. It doesn't even feel like a stress point for me anymore. It's like, "Ooh, yay." And the school that we're

building is going to cost $25,000 and I'm like "Yeah, that will happen within a couple of months." Bing. "Let's do that. It's totally fine. It's great. It's exciting."

So of course, having more abundance just makes me more generous. And of course, it makes me more compassionate as well because my base needs are

taken care of, I'm more able to sit with people in their pain and really being able to hear them and feel them as well. Because I'm safe in my world now. And I like

to think of Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. As you move up that financial freedom journey, you notice yourself moving up that hierarchy of needs because

your shelter's taken care of. Your food's taken care of. Your base needs are taken care of. And then it becomes more of a question about soul purpose and self-

Page 14: Money and Manifesting Workshop Transcript - Amazon S3and+Manifesting+Workshop+T… · you know that abundance is possible. May you know that prosperity is opening its paths before

 

© Leonie Dawson International Pty Ltd 14

actualization, and fulfilment, and all that sort of stuff. So, that's the beauty of abundance.

I see so many hippies, especially healers, who don't share - who don't think that they can have any money, and believe it's really awful if they have any kind of

money whatsoever. And what this means is that they will never step up to be-- well, no, no, I shouldn't say that because they can at any moment if they like. It

means when they're choosing that mindset, it means that they are not taking care of themselves properly. They're giving themselves so much more stress, and they're

not able to devote themselves as fully to their healing work, because they're still struggling at that bottom part of the pyramid, struggling to survive, struggling for

food, and struggling to make sure that they have enough money so that they've got a house to live in.

It also means that they're not going to be as available to do healing work. I wanted to give three examples. One is a beautiful amazing healing mentor that I

know. She comes staying in this place to be poor mentality, absolutely fine. It can be your sole choice if you decide but it doesn't necessarily have to be your sole

choice forever. And what I notice is that it is really difficult to book in a session with her because she's burnt out so often. She doesn't always know where she is

going to be living. It's a very erratic kind of lifestyle and she can't take care of herself properly. She has a lot of money worries because she's not sure how she's

going to make it in the world. That can be really challenging. I can't learn about money from her. I can't learn about financial freedom from her. It's difficult to

access her for healing work because those things are going on. On the other hand another healing mentor I have is Hiro Boga, who I talk about a lot. Now, Hiro has

Page 15: Money and Manifesting Workshop Transcript - Amazon S3and+Manifesting+Workshop+T… · you know that abundance is possible. May you know that prosperity is opening its paths before

 

© Leonie Dawson International Pty Ltd 15

done a lot of work in healing her money story and she charges a lot for her healing sessions. Can everybody afford it? No, and that's okay because the people

who really value her work and who are really ready to step up and who are at that place in their journey where they can absolutely easily afford it because

they've worked on their money story and they've created financial freedom. They can pay for it easily, and they realise that it's money well spent.

Now Hiro, because she looks after herself on that money basis, it means that she really takes care of herself. She's really got a beautiful lifestyle set up. She's got wonderful boundaries around her work, and it means that she's going to be able

to keep on doing that for a long time yet. And she really embodies so much beautiful self-care and boundaries, and I have learnt so much from her, not just in

the healing session, but because of who she is as a person. Do I think any less of Hiro for charging more? Now, of course not, I think it's a fantastic thing.

And do I think any less of the person for charging less? No I don't, because again,

you can just wipe out judgment from the picture, it's just realising what are the qualities that each brings to me. One is a little bit harder to access because she

doesn't take care of herself properly. The other; she's more expensive and yet she maintains her physical energies so much better that I can access her much more

easily. So that's what I wanted to share, it's not pious to be poor. And giving you financial abundance, charging more, really looking at your own financial freedom,

and stepping into your role as being an excellent custodian means that you are going to be taking care of yourself so much better and really modelling for all of

your clients as well and all the people in your life what it looks like to take care of yourself.

So my next point number six is to heal your money story. We all come from childhoods where money might be, in some circumstances it might be really easy

for your parents which is great. It's such a great thing to be able to model. And for the majority of us, I would suggest we all have more difficult money stories. So for

me, I remember I definitely came up against a few different blocks. And it doesn't always have to do with money either. So I hit a really big block before my 25th

birthday and I realised it was because-- starting to get really super personal here, but of course, why would I even say that? Because that's just how I am. How I

prefer to teach really is to teach from my story and from my heart. I checked in with myself and I thought, "Okay, why am I so afraid of turning 25?" I realised it

was because my eldest brother was killed in an accident when he was 25, and there was a part of me that thought, "It's unnatural for me to become older than

my older brother."

And look, I've got tears in my eyes as I feel that feeling. It felt really unnatural for me to become older than my older brother, and I realised along the way that, it's okay that's his life was 25 years. That was his expanse of-- that's how long his life

was supposed to be, because that's what it was. And it’s okay that my husband’s best friend died on his own 33rd birthday because that 33 years was the amount

of time that he needed to be on the earth and it's okay my grandmother had 97 years on the planet, because that’s the expanse of her life. One of my dear friends

lost her baby boy just a couple of months ago, he was seven days old and of course I wish with all my heart that he had been able to spend longer on the

planet, but seven days was the time of his life and for those seven days he breathed and he loved and he was held, and he experienced so much. Who are

we ever to say his life should have been longer, or her life should have been longer? It isn't-- length doesn't necessarily equate to rightness. So that was like an

awareness that came up to me was hitting my own block of becoming older than my oldest brother. I'm not sure why that story needed to pop up, but there we go.

Another block that I came up against was when I became richer than my parents.

That was really huge. When I became richer than my parents, that was like, "Oh God. I don't think I'm allowed to do this." "Okay, I'm allowed to do this, because

this is what is." And then when I became richer than the richest person in my family, that was another really big block I had to go through. Like, "Am I allowed

to? Am I allowed to become richer than the richest person?" And each time it's like,"Yes, yes I am". So how do we heal our money story? And how do we heal all

the other stories that come up.

First and foremost journal about it. Here, let me give my toolkit of what I use. One; journalling, writing about it. I also find it really useful to blog about it. I've

always used blog as a journal in a way. As I've gotten bigger I feel probably a little bit less able to do it, just in that I just noticed, "So many people are reading

my journal now." Sometimes I need to be really vulnerable in my own journal and feel energetically comfortable first before I can share it publicly so that I don't feel

energetic lash back, like if something is like "You should be feeling like that". That's not a helpful response to have when you are feeling like that. It's okay to feel the

feelings that you have. So journalling about it and therapy for me is always really useful just to be able to talk about it in a space that is completely heard and loved.

I also use intuitive healing so working with Hiro Boga to heal my money story.

You can find Hiro at http://www.hiroboga.com

Kinesiology is also really, really useful. I'm actually not sure what kinesiology is called in the US, because I think it means a different thing like movement or

something in the US. Kerry Rowett from http://www.awakenkinesiology.com , I think she is called. She is somebody that I use. She does Skype sessions all around

the world and I think she is a really good kinesiologist. Basically, kinesiology is a way to check in with your body. It's like therapy but you're not allowed to talk,

your body talks instead and it gives the answers. Here's what I find, in therapy sometimes, I'm really good at bullshitting and being able to connect and be able

resolve things in my head. Whereas, I find it really useful in intuitive healing or kinesiology or whatever it's called, it circumvents my head from explaining

everything and the body just going, "No, this is what my deepest, darkest fear about this is."

I also find the work of Denise Duffield-Thomas really useful. I think she is an amazing money story healer. You might have heard of her her website is

http://www.luckybitch.com. She is a part of the Academy as well. We've become quite close friends and I honestly believe her work is the best law of attraction

work out there because I think it's even better from the secret, because it's so practical, so pragmatic, so smart, and it really teaches that you need to put action

to your intentions. Luna Jaffe from http://www.lunajaffe.com wrote a couple of books about money as well and she also has really great video interviews on her

blog about people's money stories. And I just think it's so useful for all of us to talk about money and our money stories. Get comfortable with it. This is the thing

that's going to take us to the next level.

Number seven is unabashedly apply your priorities to money. And this is a part of that big why thing for me. I have a list of things that I don't spend money on

because I don't get my jollies from it. It's not a part of my thing. So, for example, here's some of my things. I don't get my jollies from handbags, or shoes, or

diamonds. So, my wedding ring cost me $300 and I didn't buy it until I think about eighteen months after we got married. I've thought about upgrading it,

because sometimes I think, "Oh maybe I should upgrade it," and then I was like, "Yeah but, I really don't give a shit. It is not going to make me any happier to

have a more expensive wedding ring. This is probably going to do me for the rest of my life, it's a great ring. I like it, it's great. Why spend more money on

something that I really like?" I want to make you-- laugh as well about my own-- the way that I do stuff, is I just bought myself a new handbag, and I spent $120

on this leather handbag and I was like, "Oh my God." If I don't consciously watch myself, I will definitely use a $2 shopping bag as a handbag. Like one of those

green things from Woolworths that would end up being my shopping bag.

The reason I upgraded my shopping bag and my awful like musty wallet is for me like on a spirit level I was like, "Okay, if I were to receive more money into the

words, I probably need to [chuckles] have a decent place to put it that isn't like totally mangled and messed up and all of that sort of stuff." So for me, I invested

in a nice handbag. It's still very hippy of course, and a nice wallet because that's the place that money goes in. On a [chuckles] shoes level, I've seriously I would

happily just go around barefoot all the time and I basically do. It's very lucky that I love in tropical paradise, in a like total hippy town. Because shoes barely touch my

feet, and my toes are actually going outwards, like in that yoga way. A little bit Xavier Rudd. Xavier Rudd has got incredible feet, you should Google his feet. If

you don't know who Xavier Rudd is, he's an awesome Australian musician and

Page 20: Money and Manifesting Workshop Transcript - Amazon S3and+Manifesting+Workshop+T… · you know that abundance is possible. May you know that prosperity is opening its paths before

 

© Leonie Dawson International Pty Ltd 20

he's bloody brilliant. But yes, for me, shoes don't give me the jollies. It's okay if they get you the jollies. I'm really excited for you, if they do, but I basically have a pair

of thongs. In American talk, that's oh, what are thongs in American talk? Flip-flops, flip flops, there we go. Always having to translate into American, because

thongs obviously, it's very different in the US [chuckles]. Oh, handy hint by the way - thongs, like the undies, the underwear that you guys talk about in the US. -

in Australia we call them G-strings. I don't know why, but there you go - G-strings - add that to your vernacular, isn't that fun [chuckles]. So, yes, I still embrace who

I am. I'm still going to be dressing like a dag most of the time. My hair is not going to be brushed most of the time. It's not a part of my thing to be slick or polished, it

doesn't bring me joy and it doesn't make me feel like I am who I am. So apply your priorities to money and realise that you can do this game however you like.

Number eight; I want you to identify whether you over-spend, or whether you're

an under-spender. So are you constantly spending way too much? Do you over-spend? Do you have anything in savings? And also I've got lots of friends who are

over-spenders who will go out and spend $200 on dinner all the time, which it's fine you can do that often, but not if you want financial freedom [chuckles]. FYI

that's not somebody you know. You can't go out and just throw money constantly and spend lots of money constantly. Otherwise you're just going to end up with

nothing. Are you an over-spender or you an under-spender? For me I realised I'm actually an under-spender when it comes to looking after myself. So for a really

long time I didn't invest in myself. I didn't invest in self-care.

The best example I can give of this is I-- some of you might recall [chuckles], I didn't use to have an office to work in so would go to work in cafes, and work up

Page 21: Money and Manifesting Workshop Transcript - Amazon S3and+Manifesting+Workshop+T… · you know that abundance is possible. May you know that prosperity is opening its paths before

 

© Leonie Dawson International Pty Ltd 21

in a tree in the local park, and on some levels it was really fun to do that, but also meant that I did not have a stable place for me to work that wasn’t sweaty-balls

sauna hot. If it was raining I was kind of screwed or if the cafe was closed I was kind of screwed, I would be just wandering around the streets trying to find a

place to know just sit down on a bench up the street and do my work out there.

And of course I did my work because I am really bloody dedicated to it but it

wasn’t the best conditions for me to do my best work. And I thought to myself, "You know what, I’m just going to get myself a fucking office at last," and I ended

buying a caravan, and I didn't even buy it actually. A friend had just bought a property with a really broken down, super broken down caravan at the bottom of

her property. And some of you might have seen the creative caravan process. And honestly it was really, really fun to try and do it up. But holy shit. It was so

hot. I live in a tropical paradise. This thing was not air-conditioned. And even if I had a fan - an industrial fan on me - I was just pouring with sweat. It was so hot

in there.

And I remember Hiro Boga saying to me once, she said "Leonie, I don't feel like your business can grow easily right now because you don't have a stable place in

which to grow it. Don't you have a caravan? It feels like the ground underneath is so unstable," and I looked around me and I pissed myself laughing. Because the

caravan was still super broken and part of its shell had broken off and so it was all on a really weird slant. And the floor needed total repair. There was holes in the

floor and you couldn't step on certain bits unless you wanted to fall through the floor. And that was lovely, I was going, "Well the reason you feel like energetically

is because that's what it is in the physical world. Where I am working is a total

Page 22: Money and Manifesting Workshop Transcript - Amazon S3and+Manifesting+Workshop+T… · you know that abundance is possible. May you know that prosperity is opening its paths before

 

© Leonie Dawson International Pty Ltd 22

shit basically."

It really took an intervention from Hiro. She said, "Leonie, what are you doing? You're running a six figure business, what are you doing not actually having a

place to work out of? Honestly you really need to invest in yourself to get your shit together and have a good place for you to work. The one that's safe for you to

work in and that you can go, no matter whether it's hot or cold, and whether it's raining or not, and be able to work without it being a severe physical discomfort."

So I went out that day, and I went and hired a really cheap office up the street,

and it made the world of difference to me. It really did. I couldn't believe what a difference it made to me. I couldn't believe what a difference it made to me to

actually have a place where I can sit, and since I made that decision with myself, I've decided every house I live in from now on will have a separate office that will

be extremely comfortable, that will have lovely light coming through it, and be a great place to work.

I'm just about to uplevel my office because we are just heading summer again and it gets horrifically hot in my office still, and I know I will get uncomfortable

and it will be harder to work. So I'll get air-conditioning installed. Because I deserve a place that I can feel physically comfortable in, in order for me to grow my

business. I deserve a place where I can work to grow and invest in myself. So not all spending is bad. I know I've talked quite a bit about, you know being conscious

of where you're spending money. But of course if you're investing in yourself, if you're investing in self care, if you're investing in education, those are all things

that can earn you more money, and that's really important.

So number nine, I wanted to share is, will this make me more money? If you decide to invest in things knowing that that's going to make you more money then

that's a great investment. If you are going to get a great return investment. Bingo, that's what you should be investing in. Education, of course, is really, really

important. Self-care is really important.

I wanted to share with you my three best purchases that I've made this year. Number one; a private pilates instructor. Now, I totally hit my own money block

about this, I was like, "Who am I to have my own private pilates instructor, that's so rich-bitch of me." So hello, money story that needs healing.

So here's the thing, I've known for a while I needed to get my body back on track after being so unwell during the pregnancy with Beth. I've still got issues with

hypermobility. And of course, just on a general level I want to feel strong and fit in my body. And I was really trying to work out, "How am I going to make this

happen?" Because with two kids, and a baby, I'm still breastfeeding. We've got my business. Everything feels really busy, all the time, and I thought, "For me to

get to a class, whether it's in the morning or whether it's night time, I might be able to manage maybe once or twice, but it's never going to happen on a weekly

basis, because I would just like "Fuck this. I am too tired. I can't be bothered leaving the house." I hate leaving the house. The kids need me, it's just too much."

I ended up contacting a pilates instructor, and I said, "Would you be able to come

to my house and do one with me, and could you do it for my husband at the same time; and by the way, we're going to have our kids around us, and so it's

Page 24: Money and Manifesting Workshop Transcript - Amazon S3and+Manifesting+Workshop+T… · you know that abundance is possible. May you know that prosperity is opening its paths before

 

© Leonie Dawson International Pty Ltd 24

going to be fruit cakey, but we will have fun." She was totally up to the challenge. Consequently, every Monday morning, our pilates instructor comes to our house,

and we sit out on the veranda and she makes us do all our pilates things, and it's bloody brilliant, and we feel so much better for doing it. And we worked out that

it's kind of cheaper for us to do it this way, than for us to individually go out to go out for a class, or have to hire a babysitter or whatever. This is absolute the cheap

option. And it's the good option, because we feel so much better, for health is a really important thing to invest in.

Another really great purchase I made this year as I finally finally hired a cleaner. It was total-- I was freaking out with four hands. Chris was very reticent to do it. I had been wanting to get one for years. Eventually I just got-- after I had Beth,

and our laundry loading increased so much, and I felt like I was just drowning in the house. I said to Chris, "Oh by the way, we've got a cleaner coming

tomorrow." So I just booked one without telling him, because that was the only way I was going to be able to make it happen. And hooly dooly, she has freed up

so much of my time and energy, I no longer have to spend my weekend running to get the mounds of laundry complete in the house, kind of clean in a way that

we can live in it. And it's just a beautiful opportunity as well, our cleaner loves working for us. She loves hanging out with us, and it's a really mutually beneficial

relationship. We love having her around, it's just having like an extra support fairy around. And it just feels so good and I feel so supported and so able to do even

more in the world.

And my third best purchase was, I ended up taking the deep leap and hiring full-time, permanent staff, so if you've done six figure team, six video team system, the

Page 25: Money and Manifesting Workshop Transcript - Amazon S3and+Manifesting+Workshop+T… · you know that abundance is possible. May you know that prosperity is opening its paths before

 

© Leonie Dawson International Pty Ltd 25

program from the academy. I have been using part-time contractors for many many years, and it worked really, really well for my business. Then I got to the

million dollar point and I went, "Okay. To make the next big leap in my company, I need to have something different energetically. I need to have permanent full-

time staff who are totally devoted to the company." It totally-- I was kind of having panic attacks beforehand. I was like, "Who am I to have full-time staff?"

So of course journelling it out, doing energetic work, doing it with Hiro and kinesiologist to raise my mind to a level so that I could take on that new energy.

And of course, it's such a fantastic thing for the company. It answers that question, "Will this make me more money?" Yes. Investing in myself, Investing in the

company, investing in my energy is absolutely so important.

Number ten; I talk about this a lot so I know that you already know what it is but

is so important for you to invest in business and marketing and actually

implement it. Actually implement it. Apply it. You need to become a woman of

your own destiny and know that financial freedom does not happen by accident. Stop fucking thinking that's it's going to happen by you winning the lottery or

getting an inheritance or whatever. Those two things, just forget those as a plan to financial freedom. You're the one who does it and the way that you do it is by

getting more financially aware by reading finance books and by investing in businesses and marketing so that you can grow your income. You have to - and I

want you to write this down - you have to learn it, earn it, and become an

excellent custodian of money.

Page 26: Money and Manifesting Workshop Transcript - Amazon S3and+Manifesting+Workshop+T… · you know that abundance is possible. May you know that prosperity is opening its paths before

Number eleven is learn about millionaires. Learn about financial freedom. I remember there was a really big part-- big turning point in me and Chris's financial journey. Up to that point, we had both been so ignorant - and I say that

with love to my past self - but I absolutely was ignoring my financial situation, and didn't ever believe that I would be good at money. There was just a point where

me and Chris thought, "You know what, we're just sick of living bill to bill and not having any savings, having maxed out our credit cards." And so we just decided,

"All right, we're going to get our shit into gear." We both read a book called The Barefoot Investor by Scott Pape. I think it's still in print. Dave Ramsey and Suze

Orman books are all good too.

Any of those books are really useful, so first and foremost is read them, and the

second part is implement. Because me and Chris could have read that book and gone, "Oh, yeah, that's great," and done fucking nothing with it, but we actually

did something with it. We ended up consolidating all of our credit card debts into one, and we made a plan to pay it off really quickly. We just put all of our

money, really just withheld spending any money until we paid those debts off.

And then we started investing in savings and started to learn more about investing. So you have to learn it and you have to implement it, and its okay to do

it in small stages, My thing at the moment is that I need to learn more about shares and I've been saying this for years now, "Oh, I really want to start investing

in shares," and not doing anything about it and so I just started putting a little bit of myself in the game. I bought $600 worth of Commonwealth Bank shares and I

did it just because I'm a Commonwealth bank customer and I’m really happy with them. And the way I did it, just to start doing it easily is the Commonwealth bank,

Page 27: Money and Manifesting Workshop Transcript - Amazon S3and+Manifesting+Workshop+T… · you know that abundance is possible. May you know that prosperity is opening its paths before

 

© Leonie Dawson International Pty Ltd 27

if you're with them in Australia they have a really great online resource called My Wealth (http://mywealth.commbank.com.au) and you can sign up for free. And it

just starts showing you where your financial situation is and you can really easily buy shares through that. I'm sure there's smarter and better ways of doing it and

being way more clued on about how to invest in shares, but honestly I just needed to start, so I just started with simple and practical so that it was begun.

Some books that I want you to read. Here's some more homework is:

• Rising Time by Kim Kiyosaki

• Secrets of the Millionaire Mind by T. Harv Eker

• The Millionaire Next Door by Thomas Stanley.

Wee! Now all of those are really important. I would really suggest reading The Millionaire Next Door first, really. He really blows apart so many myths of what

we think millionaires are. Millionaires are not people who spend a lot of-- who have really flash cars, and flash houses and spend a lot of money on that sort of

shit. That's not the way of the millionaire. That's the way of the people who might earn six figures and want to appear really rich. Sorry [laughter]. I think it's really

important to start with The Millionaire Next Door, and then of course increase your money mindset are using books like the Secrets of the Millionaire Mind by T.

Harv Eker, and the Kim Kiyosaki Rising Time book is really good. I loved it so much.

Page 28: Money and Manifesting Workshop Transcript - Amazon S3and+Manifesting+Workshop+T… · you know that abundance is possible. May you know that prosperity is opening its paths before

 

© Leonie Dawson International Pty Ltd 28

And now number 12, the last point is I want you to start talking about money

more. I think we all have such-- there's such a stigma about talking about money. I want you to know that you can talk about this in the Academy, and I feel like it's

really important for us to start talking about money in real numbers. Get real about numbers, and have a no shame about it. In my nice little possy, we will talk

exactly about how much debt have, or what our goal is to earn over the next month. How much debt we want to pay down, or what our next investment goal

is. And being real about numbers is so useful and I've learned so much from those women because some of them have been doing incredible things like with real

estate and it blows my mind like, "Holy shit really? You can do that?" And then you know some of them will do like a $100000 day and like, "[?] what? [?]

What?" It blows my mind set out. So it's so important for us to talk about money and not think that it's not going to be this big secretive thing.

And I think probably that's part of the blessing of me being a Scorpio is that I don't really feel like many topics are off limits for me, it's all just interesting and I think money can be just an interesting thing as well. So just get real about

numbers, get educated and talk about it, talk about it and get real. I want you to know you can allow for the possibility that life can be wildly abundant that and I

want you to know it's 100% possible. And you know what, along the way you are going to hit money blocks and it's such a wonderful thing for you to heal them.

When you will energetically feel it is like, " Oh God," before your income comes up, rises again. And that's wonderful, you should do so, "Okay, why is this coming

up? What's the fear underneath this?" And then use the tools that you use to work through it. Talking it out, intuitive feelings, journalling if you are into EFT -

Electronic Freedom Technique, Electronic Freedom Technique [chuckles] that's

Page 29: Money and Manifesting Workshop Transcript - Amazon S3and+Manifesting+Workshop+T… · you know that abundance is possible. May you know that prosperity is opening its paths before

 

© Leonie Dawson International Pty Ltd 29

really funny. Emotional freedom technique, that's it. I was thinking Electronic Funds Transfer. No. Emotional freedom techniques.

Whatever works for you, do that. Denise Duffield-Thomas in her book, Lucky Bitch, and Get Rich Lucky Bitch, she talks about those, and EFT quite a bit as well.

Whatever you can increase your money mindset, it is a big, and a beautiful, and a wonderful thing. I want you to know that you can do this, it is 100% possible,

and I'm saying this from somebody who used to be so fucking money-phobic, and so scared about money, and I totally did not believe that it was possible for me.

Yes you can. Yes you can. Yes you can, and it is up to you. I'm just going to take a couple of minutes to answer questions, so if you would like to ask a question,

you can type it in. Otherwise you can raise your hand by pressing the hand-raise button and then I can talk to you live. So I'll just have a cup of tea and then I'll

answer a couple of people's questions that have already popped up.

Gayathri asked, "What is the name of the Skype kinesiologist?" It’s Kerry Rowett,

Awaken Kinesiology. She's based in Australia and I use her and a lot of people use her because she's very clued on. She works on her own money story, which is

really useful. Sometimes I've talked to a lot of kinesiologists that are really super broke and so they find it really hard to talk to me because I'm not broke, and so

they have their own money stories. And I've even had friends that have had similar situations that have gone to energy healers to work on their money blocks,

and I'm the person who's like, "Yeah, but you don't want to be greedy" or "How much money's too much?" or say something undermining, and it's more about

their stuff instead of actually helping them heal their money blocks so they can move to the next level. And I think it's really important for us to realise that the

Page 30: Money and Manifesting Workshop Transcript - Amazon S3and+Manifesting+Workshop+T… · you know that abundance is possible. May you know that prosperity is opening its paths before

 

© Leonie Dawson International Pty Ltd 30

more money you have, the more things that you can do. The more good you can do in the world. I think the more money my business makes, the more staff I'm

going to be able to hire so that we can create even more resources for our clients, and help our clients in even more wonderful ways, and then be also able to

devote more money to philanthropy as well, which is super fun and super cool.

QUESTION & ANSWER TIME

LEONIE Hello?

ISABELLE Hello.

LEONIE Hi Isabelle!

ISABELLE Yeah, okay. [chuckles] Hi. Thanks for taking my question and

thank you for the workshop today--

So I've been part of the Amazing Biz and Life Academy since last year, and that's when I could say I could finally seriously say I was starting to invest in myself and in my business. And I've

got a lot out of it. I've implemented lots of things and definitely seen some growth. But also, I've gotten into a lot of debt from

my business. So I was wondering, when did you find out it was the right time to invest in what, while also seeing yourself grow?

Because I also have another issue with bouncing, learning with my marketing, without hiring somebody else out, because I really

don't have money to invest in that yet.

LEONIE It's this whole cash flow thing, and it's like you have to temper it

Page 31: Money and Manifesting Workshop Transcript - Amazon S3and+Manifesting+Workshop+T… · you know that abundance is possible. May you know that prosperity is opening its paths before

 

© Leonie Dawson International Pty Ltd 31

all the time. I think I could hire another person but, energetically, I don't feel ready for it, and I feel like I need to make the money

first before I can spend it. And I feel like you need to trial the idea, and make sure that it's going to make money before you

can pour even more money into it. I would suggest using all the resources that you currently have to get you more money before

you take the next big leap. Does that make sense?

ISABELLE Absolutely.

LEONIE I'm fairly risk-averse . I prefer to bootstrap things by going, "Okay, in order to do this then I need to make some money beforehand." So okay, I'm just going to learn how to like

powerful than marketing. My graphic design might not be perfect and I might need to do a bit more myself but, I need to

make sure that it's going to be a sustainable business idea. All this new part of the business is going to work out before I put all

the money onto it. Does that make sense?

ISABELLE Yeah, I think I wasn't thinking of-- I didn't know what ROI was when I first got into this. [laughter]

LEONIE Yes, ROI is really useful and I think you've invested in business education like, "Go ahead, congratulations. That's awesome."

Now just implement it like I say so, we've really become like real workshop junkies or feel like they need to just keep on buying

the next big thing to push the business forward. At certain point like I do, buy nothing period for my business as well. Like, "Right,

I'm just going to use all the resources I have currently, and use my brain to make more money with all of this". Because I think

Page 32: Money and Manifesting Workshop Transcript - Amazon S3and+Manifesting+Workshop+T… · you know that abundance is possible. May you know that prosperity is opening its paths before

 

© Leonie Dawson International Pty Ltd 32

sometimes we go,"Oh, if I just buy this thing then I make more money from business". But basically, we are the success factor, so

we just have to do the work and put them in together so that we can-- and make sure that the business idea is viable. So had

that helped?

ISABELLE Yes, thank you.

LEONIE High five, lots and lots of love to you. Okay, I just mute Isabelle and next person is Gayathri. Hi Gayathri!

GAYATHRI Hi, hi Leonie. Thank you so much for your call and your generosity, your programme, everything. My question is,

because of the money flow, and I'm a life coach, and also a psychic, and probably it's a past life story, I don't know what the

story is, but the bills come and it freezes us up, and my husband and I panic. We can't pay our bills, and I can't even do your

program because when I double your biz I can't, because I look at it and think, "I'm not even making a dollar, how could I even

talk about marketing and the Facebook?" So I get frozen up. I'm in absolute panic, so what would be the first step you would

recommend for me?

LEONIE Okay. So first steps we have is, do you have your website up?

GAYATHRI I have a website.

LEONIE Yes. So, I want you to-- have you used the Business Goddess program yet?

GAYATHRI Yes. I can't get into-- I freeze because I think, I'm not getting

anything. I'm in depression, panic, trauma, drama, the whole

works.

LEONIE Really, really? Oh, bless you. I just want to sit with you for a second. I just... It feels really tight around your heart, you're just

like "Shit, shit." [chuckles] Does that make sense? Like it just feels so tight around your heart, you're just so panicked.

GAYATHRI That's the word. [chuckles]

LEONIE Yeah, oh bless you. I'm so sorry to hear you're going through such stress and such pain and such freaked out at the moment.

So do you have enough time to-- and I'm just asking just from the time question, do you have time to work on your business?

GAYATHRI Yes, I do.

LEONIE So it’s definitely still this-- it’s just an energy thing that’s coming and goes "Fuck!".

GAYATHRI Yes Leonie, because you said-- because I'm an Aussie but living in Singapore and you spoke about business networking doesn't

work here so I tried going other peoples network. Then you said you started your own and I started my own but it just that I get

all the coaches to come and use all the people who come here and get business out of me and I'm here spending 3 hours and

getting nothing. The only way I've worked so far is through word-of-mouth but, when you have the ad in the floor, when

you have the ad, nothing comes through and I need that income to feed the children and pay the bills and its freaking out time.

LEONIE Yup, really.

GAYATHRI So yeah.

LEONIE Yeah, really. So do you do it all online only or do you do it face-to-face only or both?

GAYATHRI There's a way the Asian thing is that they come face-to-face, so they come and see me. Online with my website I've tried putting up a Facebook challenge. I've had everything, not a lot of-- zero

success online, zero success online. It's only through word-of-mouth, someone will recommend someone in Spain or Italy or

something, and then they'll call me, but it's nothing through the Internet.

LEONIE Yeah. So I know that these absolutely cannot change you. I know it's really hard to feel that, when you're in a feel of total freak out. I want you to just-- one, if you are freaking out about

feeding your kids, then I always talk about Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs because I feel like it's really important. If the

business is too much of a struggle right now, is there any way that you can earn money just to get enough money through so

that you can feel a little bit less tense about your business having to survive? Is that doable or is that not?

GAYATHRI No, it isn't, because I have to take care of the kids. I'm primarily a mom. Working from home is the only way.

LEONIE No worries. This business is what you need to prosper. I'm wondering if there's somebody here who wants to partner up to be accountability buddies with you for you to really just

implement what's in double your business. My first suggestion

Page 35: Money and Manifesting Workshop Transcript - Amazon S3and+Manifesting+Workshop+T… · you know that abundance is possible. May you know that prosperity is opening its paths before

 

© Leonie Dawson International Pty Ltd 35

would be the-- there's a bonus for motor businesses because you primarily you are working local, face-to-face and just to help you

increase that word-of-mouth as well. That might be really useful for you to work through. So just print that out as a checklist and

see if there's somebody else who's got a local service business who wants to partner up and do it together over the next

week. And see how-- here's the thing like, with business-- I have celebrity freak outs go, "Holy shit, how am I going to make this

happen?" And it's really just trying to say to yourself again so that you can do the work to move forward. And right now,

you're having dinosaur freak out because you're feeling like the dinosaur is right above you and is going to eat you at any

second because you are out of money. It's just so hard and it's so awful. So I really want to encourage you to-- that's why you're

feeling like you can't get anything done because your brain is in total freak out mode. And so basically, you just got to do the

deep breathing and try and settle that brain down from freak out mode. Try and bring it back and deep so that your brain--

I'm not making a lot of sense at the moment, sorry. I see things in images and then try to translate those into words. It's really

hard. Energetically, it’s like right now you're really freaked out on your brain and trying to do really deep breathes so that your

blood flow goes to the rest of your brain, so that you have enough space inside you to make those thoughts, make those

ideas that are going to build you money.

Now, the breath for you to do this to take you out of fear mode, is-- [chuckles] My doctor taught it to me and Chris and he calls

Page 36: Money and Manifesting Workshop Transcript - Amazon S3and+Manifesting+Workshop+T… · you know that abundance is possible. May you know that prosperity is opening its paths before

it Xanax Breath, because it's like taking a Xanax because it really calms your nervous system down. So basically you breathe in for

five, you hold for five, and then you breathe out for five. The holding part is the really important part, because that's the place

where it calms your nervous system down. The only voluntary muscle in your nervous system is that part of your rib cage that

breathes in and out. So when you can control that, that will start calming your nervous system down. So you breathe in for five,

hold for five, breathe out for five. And just do that ten times. If it still doesn't make a difference, do it for another ten. I recommend

this for everybody who ever gets anxious or whoever freaks out-- is in real freak out. Use that Xanax breath to try and bring

more blood flow into the rest of your brain and just calm that nervous system down. So you can think creatively to help you

get through this situation, because I know that you can and you're smart, you are wise, you have those gifts and you've got

the resources available to you. It's just calming that nervous system down and just doing it step-by-step-by-step. There's a

video of mine called "How to Get Rid of Overwhelm" with this one ancient step, which is old, but it's great. It just remind

ourselves step-by-step-by-step. I am sending you lots and lots of love to keep you going all through and blessings, and

abundance. I know that you can do this.

GAYATHRI Thank you so much Leonie. One last question here. Out of all your program in the Biz Academy, what's the one program

you'd recommend me to start right now?

Page 37: Money and Manifesting Workshop Transcript - Amazon S3and+Manifesting+Workshop+T… · you know that abundance is possible. May you know that prosperity is opening its paths before

LEONIE So to start right now, I want you to get the Bonus from the Double Your Business for Local Bricks and Mortar Businesses, and go through that. It's a big checklist for you to go through.

GAYATHRI Okay, great. Thank you so much. May God bless you.

LEONIE My pleasure, and blessings, blessings, blessing to you. And may Ganesha remove all of your obstacles by love.

GAYATHRI Thank you.

LEONIE

Beautiful. A couple more text questions. Let me have a look. Christina asks, "ROI. What's ROI?" ROI is Return on Investment. I think it's in-- I explain it better in Double Your

Business. Basically, if you purchase, say, let's talk about an education programme that costs $497, that's the academy price. If you implement that, what's your return on that

investment? Do you then earn an extra $2,000, or an extra $5,000? Basically what-- if you purchased a certain thing, what would be that return on the expense?

Katarina Edwards asked, "I've got an interesting situation because I have blocks around my qualifications. I have gifts in helping other people through their limiting beliefs, and I

don't have formal training, but I do have testimonials from people that what I do is helpful. I currently charge $44 an hour for my service, and people don't seem opposed to my price.

I feel like I just need to figure out how to deal with these blocks about not being qualified to help. I'm just freaking because I've now got four sessions this week, and I'm just going

'What!' insecurities about what makes me qualified . By the way I'm married and not in a

Page 38: Money and Manifesting Workshop Transcript - Amazon S3and+Manifesting+Workshop+T… · you know that abundance is possible. May you know that prosperity is opening its paths before

 

© Leonie Dawson International Pty Ltd 38

bad situation financially because my husband supports me but I really want this myself. So here is the thing, I get asked-- I've been asked a few times if I have any qualifications -

business or marketing or life coach and things like that. And I am act incredibly, it's like I don't. And I have lots of experience and I have lots of testimonials, but those people who

feel like they need for me who have paid another institution to [chuckles] a piece of paper, that's totally cool. They can find somebody else who is qualified. I just prefer to get results

to people and then if people want those results then they can work with me."

So, Katarina, that's brilliant that you've already got people, testimonies from people that what you do is helpful like, fuck that is right. Now think about all the qualifications out

there. They are just made up from other people. They are not ordained by God or anything like that. It's just you know people who worked on something and worked out a

way on how to do it and they've tried it with people and it works and those people are like, "Hey, let me give you a testimonial" and booh, here you go, you've got a programme.

You've got the Katarina Edwards Certified Coaching Programme. So bam! You just certified yourself. [laughter] I'm laughing about it but seriously that's so true. If you

developed procedure and it's working for people and it hasn't been used by other people, bam! The Katarina Edwards Coaching School. [laughter] Academy of removing blocks.

[chuckles] So that's my help advice to you. Katarina, if that's a really deep felt block with you, use your own process on yourself or use an intuitive healer who can tell-- just to help

you move through that block. But otherwise I'm saying, "You set up your own schools." [chuckles]

Andrea Brown says, "How do you suggest building my business while working full time

and to keep kids, single mum. I have a six figure income to replace, I have a huge fear of block around these, even though I used to have my own coaching business years ago, it

Page 39: Money and Manifesting Workshop Transcript - Amazon S3and+Manifesting+Workshop+T… · you know that abundance is possible. May you know that prosperity is opening its paths before

 

© Leonie Dawson International Pty Ltd 39

was never full income." So, of course you've got that fear block because you've tried in the past and you haven't had the success that you wanted to have with it, however you are

not the person that you are years ago. So, the person years ago-- you years ago, didn't have the business and marketing information that you have now. Now, having said that, I

get that time is a really difficult thing.

Now I've built a business while working, I didn't have the kids though, so some suggestions

of ways to work make work. I used to catch the bus to work purely so that I could used that time to work. [chuckles] If you have to drive then you can use that for education by

listening your podcasts or things like that or education programs, then use your lunch hour to do some work. This is where you have to like really, really so super focused. If you can

get support, like child care support, so that you have like a three-hour block one morning or afternoon on a weekend or whatever. Or if you can, without burning yourself out, really

dedicate yourself to putting the effort in like two nights a week and doing like three hours after the kids were in bed. You can do it. You just have to stay so so focused. You don't

need 40 hours a week in order to build a business. Let's just say that. I still really only work part time. So that's my advice to you. All right, Irene? I hope I'm saying that right is

asking, how can we find Hiro? Yes, Hiro Boga is hiroboga.com. And I'll just type that and I'll include that in the transcript for people who want to find that.

Now, Cherise asked, do you find affirmations, activations, mantras, etc work in getting past money blocks? Let me think about that. You know what? If it works for you, go for it. The

things that work for me is reading money books, intuitive healing, and the kinesiology because then there's no right around it, like you have to really dive in and heal the

apocalypse in there. [chuckles] It can really be difficult sometimes. It's very like, you really so, so emotional, and all past lifestyles-- I find it really useful to have somebody there with

Page 40: Money and Manifesting Workshop Transcript - Amazon S3and+Manifesting+Workshop+T… · you know that abundance is possible. May you know that prosperity is opening its paths before

 

© Leonie Dawson International Pty Ltd 40

me to guide me through that process because-- Here's my handy tip-- is that, I could sit in journal and try and heal something myself for an hour, and I'm going to make the time

still? Probably not, but if I book in a session with the kinesiologist or with Hiro. Guess what? I'm going to have to fucking do it because I booked an hour. So [chuckles] I select to be

seen which really like to bury that time and energy and build money into doing that. I would say healing in money blocks do the intensive work and I'd say affirmations and

mantras can be useful to keep it there once it's being healed, if that makes sense. So it can be a useful reminder, but I personally wouldn't believe that that would make massive shifts

for you. I'd say doing one-on-one intensive work with people can really help much much more on that level. That's my theory. But if you get lots and lots of affirmations and

activations, and mantras, I can go for it. Go for it. [chuckles]

Andrea shared, "I have about a year saving, but I'm afraid to make the leap without current income." So Andrea is one who's asking about the six figure income. First, huge

congratulations on having a year's saving. That's really really great. For me, I'm pretty risk-averse, I wouldn't make the leap without building up the current business currently. So use

your time now , so that you can start getting money through. When I quit my job, I was getting close to the money that I needed to earn, and I knew that if I had a bit more time,

then I'd be up to do it. It's really up to you. Everybody is different and differently risk-averse. [chuckles] Although it's funny, Andrea says I'm too risk-averse. Just use your time

to build up your business. I find personally when people just quit their job and go, "God, why? I can't going to go full steam ahead." Very few make the progression gracefully

because on Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs, they get completely freaked out about losing money and not earning enough money and it totally stops them from using their

brain creatively to deal with their business. Use Double Your Business, use the programmes of the academy, and just be so dedicated. If you want to hook up with an accountability

buddy to say, "My goal is in the next three months to earn this amount from my business,

Page 41: Money and Manifesting Workshop Transcript - Amazon S3and+Manifesting+Workshop+T… · you know that abundance is possible. May you know that prosperity is opening its paths before

 

© Leonie Dawson International Pty Ltd 41

this is what I need to do to make it happen; or, my goal next month is to make this amount, this is what I need to do to make it happen." That can work fucking wonders. So

why do you post in the academy, and say, "In the next month, I want to earn this amount. In order to do that, I have to do this. Who's with me? Who wants to do something as

well? Let's hold each other accountable." That shit works wonders. So that is my advice to you.

All right my darlings, I've gotten way over time, but thank you, thank you, thank you so

much for joining me on this call. I hope you all got lots out of it. I would strongly suggest taking the money conversation back into the Academy. Talk about in the Facebook group,

talk about the things that you are going to do in order to heal your mindset. Add this recording to your success library. So, thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm sending you all

so much love, blessings, and abundance. I just take some deep breaths down into your belly, centring, and grounding. May we all know that we are wise, and we are smart, and

we can do this. Aho and amen. Lots and lots of love to all of you. Thank you.
