Filthy Lucre

Let's get to the money, but first, let me pretend I'm interested in you. Have you ever had this experience?  Pretence is an evil that exists in the world of business and cutting through to intention is key to having a thriving practice.  Checking my intentions is necessary, especially when I am struggling with a client. When money is a factor it is paramount to ask myself  am I working for money or am I working for the client?  If money comes to mind, it is my first hint that something is a miss.  Money holds meaning, is valuable, is a representation of worth.  The yes and the no to money is about what it is used for in an exchange.  The feelings money evoke are great gauges, information centres for what is important and matters most, especially in business. I have felt overpaid with the perfect clients, and so underpaid by others that the pain of working with them wasn't worth the fee at all.  Energetically, relationship with honesty and clean intentions feels pretty good in a money for service exchange, without these, money becomes a dirty word and ugly thing...filthy lucre.
