Joanna and I have lots of laughs throughout this episode and it’s very clear that this topic excites me! We actually livestreamed the episode into her Facebook Group which was pushing our comfort zones and technical set up abilities a bit ;) but we were all dolled up for a night out with fellow entrepreneurs so we thought we’d take advantage of the opportunity! We talk not just about money blocks but some great techniques that you can use to create an extraordinary life and bust through any blocks holding you back. I really enjoyed catching up with Joanna and I think you are really going to love this episode.
Some questions I ask:
What is NLP and EFT?
What are some common fears or beliefs that usually sit behind money blocks?
Does personal development have to co-exist with entrepreneurship and wealth?
How do we end up with financial ceilings and  how do we smash that ceiling?
For someone who feels they are constantly pushing for financial success with no success  getting anywhere what are some questions and personal enquiry they could do with themselves to find out if they have money blocks and then how do they bust through them?
Do you think our success sits behind limiting beliefs and fears holding us back?
How can you tell when something is a block and when its the Universe telling you are going the wrong way?
What would you have to say to someone who is stuck in the place of thinking they can’t be successful or go for the dreams because they haven’t figured themselves out fully yet?
What do you think it takes for someone to be successful and to achieve their dreams?
My key takeaways:
NLP is a way of language and is a way of reprogramming and retraining the brain. It’s not a manipulative sales technique that you might have associated with NLP before.
EFT is a gentle, safe, non-invasive technique using meridians in the body to release blocks and emotions in the body that you can learn to do yourself and also be done with a practitioner in person or via Skype for a more facilitated deeper release.
EFT is great for reducing stress and dropping cortisol levels. Causes a calming response in the brain. It is good for pets and babies and children on a variety of different issues.
Physical pain is 70% emotional.

There is a link between men, money and food. What underlies most emotional eating in women is low self-worth and is because they are suppressing an emotion such as hurt, loneliness etc. Low self worth underlies our issues with money and with relationships. So whether the focus is on money blocks or other aspects of our lives, clearing this through EFT will then result in improvement in the other areas of our lives as well.

Money is a magnifier, if you are generous more money will make you more generous. If you are greedy money will make you more greedy.
Our beliefs and values are set by the age of 7.
If you aren’t making the money you want in your business then you probably have a money block or story holding you back.
Humans will do all they can to be what they identify as being. If you see yourself as rich you will be,
