If you give the person time to fully answer each question you will hear many different realities, reasons, excuses, lies, assumptions and other psychobabble that people have about money and there lives. You may hear such responses as, "what a stupid question." "Who does this guy think he is?" "You can't do that.""That's impossible". "I love my work. I'll never stop working."
Rather than agreeing or disagreeing with the answers or comments to the questions, simply listen and see if you can more clearly pick up the person's reality about money and he/her financial time up like.
What i mean by FINANCIAL TIME UP is financial decision, when you make it time up over many financial opinion, whether to choose working for money or money working for you that is what i call a financial time up, recently i place a question article in Soef group wall, asking, between #50,000,000 ($325,000) and 10 rules of financial information knowledge choose one? Many made it a financial time up, 50% say that they have enough financial knowledge, they don't need any other knowledge again so give them the money. About 40% say they don't need the knowledge just give them the money they know what to do. And about 10% say give them the rule, with it they will make more than $325,000 these people have taking a decision a financial time up, and so i ask you, the big money or the rules? Keep the answer for yourself.
If you have the courage to ask this question and up coming ones to your lovers, friends, or co-workers, I wish you luck. If you do the exercise with other people, I think you will learn a tremendous amount about the power of one's financial time up and reality over their financial condition in life.
