  Linda Selner Vasquez - Discover Your Money Archetypes: Transform Your Relationship with Money, Yourself, and Your Business

  Webinar 12-1:30pm

  1.5 RD

  
  

  Money Archetypes are innate patterns that influence your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and actions around money. Resulting in success or sabotage. These unconscious forces can impact your business and life on so many levels. Thus making it essential to understand their strengths, gifts, and challenges.

  Every archetype has a shadow side where we can get “stuck” or experience self-doubt and fear, resulting in money blocks. Also, each has positive side that leads to empowerment, abundance, and valuing who you are.

  What many coaches may not know is that these unconscious money blocks may limit them from achieving their conscious goals and creating the business of their dreams. Want to change that? In this session, you will learn the eight Money Archetypes’ unique personalities. Plus, be provided access to the Free Sacred Money Archetype Assessment to discover your top 3 archetypes, which have the greatest influence on your relationship with money. So much abundance and natural flow is possible when we design our business in alignment with our true personality.

  Get comfortable charging what your services are worth and start increasing your income. Plus, gain a better understanding of your client’s relationship with money which helps to facilitate increased awareness and conscious actions.

  
  

  About our Speaker:

  Linda Selner Vasquez is a Money Mindset Mentor, Speaker of Gateway to Abundance LLC. She absolutely loves to support coaches, speakers, and entrepreneurs to break free of money blocks so they can enjoy growing thriving businesses while making a difference.

  Owning her own company, Linda understands the challenges of her own money blocks, self-doubt, and being overwhelmed. And how they can stand in the way of our success. Luckily, she has found a path forward and is committed to helping others do the same.
