Your Money Your Business - The Podcast with Debbie Colbourn

Did your parents ever tell you little white lies? Sure they did ... and they thought they were harmless. And most were. BUT what if they become a habit, a defense mechanism ... designed to protect you from consequences? Just look at social media ... it is a cesspool of exaggeration spurred on through photo-shopped images, deliberately omitted essential details, and enhanced unknowingly by the algo...

There isn't one person on this planet who hasn't avoided a conversation that they knew might be uncomfortable. It's in our nature. But avoiding the conversations doesn't make the topic disappear - it makes it fester, bubble up, create obsessive thoughts that we simply struggle to break the loop. An effective difficult conversation can be a breakthrough moment, and it can open up the flow of ideas,...

All of us are good people, yes you, every one of you listening. Yet when you look at your decisions, and your results, and the people who you, we may have accidentally hurt through our words and our actions deep inside we don't feel so good about ourselves sometimes. This is what someone who commits a white collar crime feels like. Not only after, but before. It's rarely about the money, or the as...

Most of us do it unconsciously and don't recognize why, or know how to stop it. It's not always brownies, that's just my snack of choice. Some people call it procrastination, some avoidance, some a habit, and it can be all of those. What is really is, is your personal form of self-sabotage - a way to make sure that the dreams you have, the goals you've set, the experiences you want to create don't...

'Cause if it is, you are in for a real and rude awakening. As humans wew love to tell ourselves stories - about ourselves, about our neighbours, co-workers, friends, family, even our employees.

Most people are hiding behind a wall, unwilling share the "real" of their real live...

Is it because your family isn't supporting you? Is it because you're doing something no-one else in your family or friends has ever done?

There is no perfect template for your life, yet each day you have an opportunity to look at your life and make a little tweak - a tune up. What you dream of at 20 may be different from at 40 which may be different still at 60. Past generations were told, even taught, to settle, be happy with what you have. The last part is true, happiness is inside all of us, all the time - it's not something that...

Pivoting your career or business takes bold and brave decisions. I'm talking about true pivots, a change in direction, not just changing companies and industries where you just end up in the same position with a different title and different pay. I'm talking taking a big leap of faith. Sometimes they are forced, and sometimes they are by choice. The best pivots are done when you disconnect your dr...

Money blocks - money thinking - money mindset. All terms relatively new in the last five years, yet based on hundreds of years of human evolution. The culmination of generations of families addicted to survival without realizing it. Let me walk you through a real life experience to the discovery of something that happens to everyone when you start improving your relationship with your money.

If you understand that success is like the sun, with points radiating out at every angle from every point on its surface. True and long lasting success doesn't happen alone in your bank account. It is the essential ingredients of a rich life. That worry, that you'll lose everything after building it is just an image you...

And the person that never questions your choices and your actions - that is complicit with their silence. Jump in with me and see how it plays out for your year - your dreams and your net worth.

In this bonus episode discover how cost does not always equal value and the unexpected effects of getting a gift that some might call cheap

Every day you are exhausted juggling everything asked of you, and you're asking yourself "Is it all worth it", What happened to my dreams? At work there never seems to be end what they want you to do, and that means you aren't even able to tease out those ideas, or improve a process. And each co-worker is bitching about the same things.

So much of us is our wiring and when we fight that natural tendency we tangle ourselves all up and rehash the same thoughts over and over again. Every one of us probably wants to, and needs to rewire our thinking about eating, and about money, but there is part that we simply need to allow. And that is the part that is the processor of grief. Too often we associate grief only with the loss of a fr...

School never taught us about values, those were left to our parents, yet the majority of us have no real idea what our true values are. Our values -  not our parents values - not our siblings values. And maybe you don't even have a good handle on what a core value really is? But if you are like me, you know when they are out of alignment even if you don't, or can't find the words to describe...

Ever heard the phrase "I got us into this mess, I'll get us out"? Well accepting your reality is just a slight shift from that to saying "This is my mess, and I'm owning it. Every single piece of it". That's it - no emotion - no judgment. Like any game or journey there is always a starting point, a trailhead ... HOME on your GPS ... and acceptance is that point. If you don't know what it looks lik...

Think about it for a minute ... can you really imagine doing this same job until you take your last breath at the end of your life? Or ... are you really just surviving doing what others expect you to do? Are you just getting by? Dreaming that someday things will change. Is your downtime sitting in front of mindless screen shows, or doing the same old, same old. Is your job literally sucking the l...

In the aftermath of a very bad decision it's very easy to start doubting yourself, second guessing your abilities and your choices. And you wake up one day and realize that what should be a simple decision, to let someone else help you do a simple repetitive task, feels impossible. It's become another of your bad habits. You now have a habit of not trusting yourself. I've been there and like you,...

Two simple words ... words that are powerful beyond your imagination. Thank You. Can you say them, all by themselves? Really - can you? Many of us can't ... or couldn't but if I told you that there is an invisible link between those two words and your current financial position, and you can change it for the better, would you be interested?
