Hey guys, it's Rachel Hollis and this is a quick word on money.

Let's talk about money.

I'm doing this as a 10 minute episode because I feel like I just want to give you a little

food for thought on this Monday or whatever day you're consuming this content.

I grew up not understanding how much my relationship to money would affect my ability to make

it and would affect my ability to manage it.

And I want to just put this out there for any of you who might find yourself in a similar

situation.

I grew up without money.

I grew up listening to my parents fight constantly about the lack of money.

I grew up watching my family members work to get that paycheck and then the paycheck

was gone as soon as it showed up.

I learned the idea of, oh, I'm going to treat myself to something that I probably can't

afford while I have money and leaving no money behind to pay bills.

So I really grew up watching some pretty harsh relationships with finances and not understanding

that there was any other way to be.

And as I became an adult, as I became an entrepreneur, I really can see now how my early relationship

with money affected my belief system about it.

In fact, I love asking people this question.

If I gave you a million dollars, if I could wave a magic wand and then all of a sudden

you would have a million dollars, what would you do with it?

And what would that mean to you?
