You really can change your financial reality.

If marketing is the biggest challenges business owners face, then money is the biggest challenge business owners don't face. And not facing your relationship to money, and healing it, can you leave you stuck in the same place no matter how well your business does.

Some of the signs of an unhealthy relationship with money show up like this:

• You resist raising your prices, even though intellectually you know should.

• No matter how much money comes in, it all goes out again. It seems like you never have any extra.

• Even when things are going relatively well, or you're not in any immediate financial danger, you're still gripped by fear or anxiety that can, at times, be paralyzing.

• You just can't seem to relax into your relationship with money, and you can't take even simple steps that will help your finances because... well you don't know why not.

There's lots of ways money stress can show up in a business owner's life. And yet, it doesn't have to stay like that.

What clients say about Heart of Business programs:

" My heart has been so hungry for this kind of connection - I feel like I'm feasting at a banquet."

"Mark, we aren't even finished with the Heart of Money course and I have already experienced an incredible journey which has brought me two things. One is a huge shift of perspective with regard to my financial issues - seeing how I have been making a mountain of a mole hill and putting that mole hill into perspective has brought me a huge release of guilt and shame.

"The other HUGE gift is where this has brought me to spiritually. My heart has been so hungry for this kind of connection - I feel like I'm feasting at a banquet.

"Thank you so much for being the gift that you are.

"This class has far exceeded my expectations already. I am learning from you, and the rest of the class, on so many levels. I love your facilitation style and the learning activities you have for us. Your insight is so fresh, profound and sincere, and it helps that you have lived through what you share and truly practice what you teach.

"I'm excited by the new and freer perspectives you have introduced me to. Thank you so much for this wonderful opportunity. I feel very blessed to be participating in it and learning from you."

Victoria Clevenger
Vancouver, Washington

"I felt hope come back in my heart for the first time in over 2 years."

"I can see now that after so much rejection, I gave up trying to even make connections and now see that one never knows where things will lead, but at least there has to be movement in new directions for new things to happen.

"I felt hope come back in my heart for the first time in over 2 years. It felt like a stranger, I forgot what hope felt like. I felt like crying to feel it."

Mary Lopez
Portland, Oregon

"i have been talking about the workshop to almost everyone I know and sending them to the website."

"I came to this course thinking it would be just about money. For me, this course was about the abundance that flows from love and acceptance. The first few weeks, I cried a lot. I was really surprised by that.

"What I found was that the course helped me to open my heart to the many blessings in my life. For example during the course my husband got a huge raise and i was worried about how to manage the money. the course helped me acknowledge the abundance coming into our lives.

"I also gained a feeling of self acceptance that has had a big influence on my life. In my business as a visual artist, this feeling has opened doors to creativity and creative problem solving, and made me feel safe to market my work more freely.

"Money has been coming in from many unexpected sources. One of my goals was to work in partnership on my personal finances with my husband. This happened the very first week. Our relationship is so much more loving than before.

"I have been talking about the workshop to almost everyone I know and sending them to the website.

"Thank you so much Mark for creating this course I'm truly grateful for what I have been able to receive."

Susannah Lints

Note: This is the first time I'll have taught this class in two years. I decided to teach it again after becoming aware of a recently translated ancient Sufi text, which reveals deeper truths and common misunderstandings that many popular 'abundance teachings' are missing. The solid and tested content of this course will be infused with these newly-found teachings.

Have your finances been caught in the same place for what seems like forever?

(Is there a way to finally shift your money reality without betraying your values or beating yourself up?)

You aren't alone. Many small business owners are doing the same thing at 3am: lying awake in bed, worrying about money.

Money holds this mystical place in the world of business. While you as a business owner may be working harder than ever to get your business to work financially, the money runs out as fast as it comes in (or faster.) It almost gets to the point where you wonder if there is some god of money laughing at you.

Or, maybe the money is there, but you still can't relax and trust. The fear is way bigger than the reality, but it's got a grip on you anyway.

Why it can be so hard to have a financial breakthrough.

Money brings up fears and reactions around trust, survival, self-worth and love. These survival-level fears hit you right in the guts. Our response is usually to be the deer in the headlights, or to relentlessly "push through" financial tasks. The result is that your relationship with money doesn't change.

What's worse, is that because shame is also often in the mix, most people isolate themselves. You 'aren't supposed' to be afraid (men and women both) and so it's easier to try to bluff your way through. Except it doesn't work.

Surprisingly, this can be true whether you make five figures, six figures, or even seven figures a year. It doesn't matter how much money you make, you worry and struggle with guilt and shame. "Where in the heck is all the money going?"

The solution. Break your isolation, and, with the support of a group, look squarely at your issues around money. You will discover love, strength, and courage in never-imagined places, such as your checkbook and bank account!

"I'm growing very quickly in the $$$$ arena... there is a sense of relief and more sacredness around money issues thanks to you and the group. Blessings to you forever!"
Jo Ann Hinshaw, Silver Spring, MD

There are four steps to a healthy relationship with money.

  1. Inventory: An honest look at where you are now, without shame.
  2. Understanding: There are some basic rules to how abundance flows. When you understand them, it's like shining the light of clarity on your financial life.
  3. Asking from true need: Mostly when we ask for help, we're either trying to control what the help looks like, or we're not open to receiving it. When you are in true need, your asking is sincere, and you get a response.
  4. Safety: When you feel safe, it's possible to feel generous, grateful, and open. Then money can flow in and out and in again.

I've been through the washing-machine spin cycle myself. More times than I care to admit. It used to be no matter how much, or little, money I made, I still had that knot of fear in my belly: 'Am I going to be okay? Is there enough?'

How the change finally happened.

A few years ago, after what felt like the millionth time through the money-panic spin cycle, I decided that enough was enough: it was time to learn about money! Slowly, step-by-step, I read books, received healings, went into deep prayer and meditation, and talked to people who made money.

Then, one morning, I realized I had changed.

It had been a month since I had gone into any panic over money, despite my financial situation remaining unchanged. Shortly after that was when the financial picture began to also shift, in a very pleasant upward manner.

Someone asked me to teach some spiritual students about money. That question sparked me to assemble everything that I had done, and see what had worked for me and what hadn't. That's how I put together the first prototype of this course.

More than two hundred people have been through this course, with consistently outstanding results emotionally and financially. Hundreds more have worked with the teachings from this class that are included in my book, Unveiling the Heart of Your Business.

In eight 90-minutes sessions over four months you will journey through all four steps in your heart, making the changes where it counts – inside. These internal changes mean you will be able to effortlessly make different decisions in your actions, which means you will see changes in your financial reality. Why wait to start?

"The second class alone has created profound changes in me- I've never felt this sense of calm and safety in my life. And it's lasted for a year now!" John, Chicago, IL

The biggest results I want to see you get are these:

"In one hour I worked through ten years of money issues- the freedom is wonderful!" Jannah, Atlanta, GA

What we'll cover during the class:

Note: All teachings are based in both sound business practices and 5000-year-old spiritual teachings about how to be in right relationship with the material world. No woo-woo and no greedy money-chasing here.

  • Your Heart and Money. Before we can talk about change, we have to find out what's really going on. This class opens the journey by finding out clearly where you are already standing, so you have the resources to begin to walk forward.

  • Receiving versus Taking. I always hear people saying, "I just need to be okay receiving more." Or, conversely, "I'm reaching for everything I can, but I can't hold on to it!" In this class, we look at how money, and everything else, moves towards us and away from us, so you can be in the right mode at the right time. Taking and receiving are both appropriate, and inappropriate, at different times.

  • Being Polite with Money: Your Financial Snapshot. This class is the compassionate cure for our inner ostrich! We begin to gently, with support, help you take your head out of the sand, so you can come into right relationship with your finances as they are right now. Surprisingly, this has been one of the most liberating classes of the series.

  • Lightening the Weight of Debt. We all carry debt. Sometimes it is financial, in terms of money owed others. Sometimes it's in the form of the extreme financial contortions we go into to avoid debt. And sometimes we owe no financial debt, yet feel we owe everyone our time. Everyone has issues with the weight of our commitments. This class lightens the load on your heart, which clears the path to finally living debt-free, in all aspects of your life.

  • Safety Before Abundance. It's just impossible to take anything in if you are always on the lookout for threats. This class works to create a deep sense of safety in your heart and your belly, so that you don't sabotage abundance when it comes towards you.

  • Creation, Abundance and Neediness. You've spent the earlier classes clearing a lot out of your way. In this class we look at an ancient spiritual approach to abundance, that is based in acceptance of our human state of neediness. No more "acting as if" - you can be fully who you are in all of your imperfection and still be moved into abundance.

  • Stepping Into Your New Reality. You will travel far, very quickly. In this final class you acknowledge and integrate everything you've learned, and then create support systems moving forward, so you don't backslide. Welcome to your new financial reality!

    • "I used to be in the seminar business, and I've seen hundreds of seminars given by the top people in the field. Your workshop is the best of all of them. Thank you!"
    Ric, San Diego, CA

    Here's the bottom line: I want your financial life to work! If I can climb out of my financial helplessness, you can too. And you can do it much more quickly than I did, because of the support that this class creates for you to travel along a well-blazed trail.

    You already have the seeds of success within you. Your financial strength and abundance is in your heart.You have wisdom and clarity waiting for you, once all of the fears and assumptions and misunderstandings are peeled away.

    "Mark is thoughtful, compassionate and wise. I appreciated his attention to me as a person and entrepreneur, not simply as a 'client' or potential client. His own background in family business, his activism, and his deep yet practical spirituality make him an outstanding leader and coach. With a small investment of time, I gained a great deal. I feel renewed!"
    Brigette Rouson, Washington, DC

    How the class works, in four parts.

    I've discovered that four months is an optimum amount of time for profound change to be gentle and to really take root permanently in your life. We meet on the phone, by teleconference, these eight times. Class time will be a combination of me teaching, guided exercises, and Q&A. And, you don't need any special equipment- just a phone, and the ability to call a number in the U.S. Participants will be responsible for long-distance charges.

    The Buddy System
    Value: $immeasurable

    You will connect with other participants between each of our group meetings for compassionate support in going through the exercises and assignments. Instead of just learning information, you will gain an entire supportive community to cheer you on through your most challenging money issues. And we won't let you fall down!

    Many participants say this is the most profound part of the class.

    Bonus: A private online discussion forum, with my personal feedback and coaching.

    Value: How to calculate how much time I'm going to spend? Call it: $1000

    Through the use of an easy-to-use online forum (if you can read this web page, you can use the forum), we'll be discussing class topics, answering personal questions, and getting feedback and support- on a daily basis. If you've ever seen me on my own forum, the Oasis, or on other forums, you know I take a lot of time and care in responding to posts.

    Premium Bonus: Class recordings, mp3 or CDs mailed to you.
    Value: $300

    Each class will be recorded, and you can receive the recordings either as mp3s or as CDs sent in the mail. You will be able to listen to the meditations, discussions and exercises as often as you need to. And, if an emergency comes up, you won't have missed the class. The quality is top notch- I've invested about $1000 in recording equipment so you can actually hear clearly what's being said and discussed without straining through 'fuzz n buzz.'

    Premium Bonus Class: Pay Yourself First
    Date: Dec. 2, noon-1:30pm pacific.
    Value: $99

    Everyone tells you to 'pay yourself first,' but how in the heck do you actually do it? I'll show you the simple system we've set up so that our savings, investments and vacation accounts continue to grow, without confusion, and without needing to go looking for 'extra' money when we need something.

    And even more than just 'how to do it,' the spiritual understanding of how this process is echoed in nature and in your deep heart will help you trust it to increase your financial potential, even when your income doesn't seem to have any extra in it.

    Premium Bonus: Major Participant Discount to the Path to Profitability Retreat in October.
    Dates: Oct 17-21, 2008
    Value: about $1200

    The Path to Profitability Retreat (opens new window) is a five-day residential retreat that helps you learn the heart-centered spiritual and practical principles of how a transformational business can thrive in a consumer economy.

    The tuition for this Retreat is ordinarily $2000, but as a premium participant in the Heart of Money course, you can attend the retreat for just $650 (not including food, lodging and travel.)

    "I was in fear before the Heart of Money course..."



    "I was in fear before the Heart of Money course over how to handle the 'tsunamis of new challenges and opportunities in my business'.

    I finished the program 'reborn in my relationship with money and business'. I developed a new way of being of surrender, openness to the 'hand of God', living in the moment and peaceful, active focus.

    "My life and business, as well as the difference I am able to make with others, have leaped to a sustainable new level that I had previously not thought was possible.

    "My business and personal income have more than doubled in 3 months. Thank you!"

    "Before I started the Heart of Money class, I felt stuck in my financial situation and soon realized that I had many limiting beliefs that kept me from being prosperous in my career.

    What I have realized only halfway through the class is that I have been sitting on a treasure chest waiting for someone to open it for me. I feel as though I have been given the key to open it as well as receive what it has to offer me.

    My prayers have been answered so many times over this past couple of months; not only have I received more commissions to do my art than I ever have, I feel as though my connection with God and my heart has been strengthened immensely. Thank you, Mark!" Sarah K., North Encinitas, CA
