Heart of Money Transformational Journey

In eight 90-minute sessions, you can change your financial reality forever.

Note: I’ve taught this class personally to hundreds of people in very small, intimate groups that have always sold out. It’s very effective, and unfortunately it’s also expensive. For the first time, we’re opening the doors wide to many more participants by offering this course at 1/5 the usual cost. I believe these ancient teachings are critical both to your own personal finances, and to the healing and transformation of our economy.

But wait! Don’t go away yet- in a course with this many participants, there are usually a few withdrawals. Scroll down to where the “buy” button usually is, near the bottom of the page, and fill out the Heart of Money Wait List form, and you’ll be in line in case there’s an opening!

We’re launching a HomeStudy version of this course. Check it out here.


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

(Do you wonder if there is a way to actually shift your money reality without betraying your values or beating yourself up?)

You aren’t alone. Many small business owners, people everywhere, are grappling with the same problems and questions at 3 a.m.: 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. Is it ever going to change, or will you just spiral down and down?

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 become like a deer in headlights, or to relentlessly “push through” financial tasks. The result is that your relationship with money doesn’t change.

What’s worse is the isolating shame that often ends up complicating the mix of emotions. You “aren’t supposed” to be afraid (men and women both) and so you try to bluff your way through. Except it doesn’t work.

Surprisingly, these fears and reactions 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, making it easier for money to flow in and out and in again.

When these four elements come together, you know the reality of your situation and accept it, you have a deep understanding of why it is the way it is, you understand what your true needs are, and you feel safe enough to effectively ask. Bingo! Suddenly you are making different decisions and taking different actions, and strangely enough, the results start changing, too…

I’ve been through the money 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?”

Why you can’t just earn your way out of the mess.

The classic response is, “Hey, I’ll just make more money, and then I’ll be okay.” And it’s a logical enough response, especially as a business owner. You learn what you need to learn, you market more effectively, you get better at sales and systems, and all the things that make your business run. Then . . .

  • You start earning more money. Crazy. It actually works. Except that you find yourself spending even more, too, and your actual financial situation hasn’t changed at all, the numbers are just bigger.
    Or…
  • You don’t start earning more money. Crazier. You’re putting all these great ideas into place, and they just aren’t working.

Either way, I’m betting that the same thing is happening–you’re getting better and better at giving, and yet because of a blind spot in your relationship with money, your finances are still circling the drain.

And that knot of fear never really went away. Ugh.

How the change finally happened for me.

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 my 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, to 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 elements in your heart–inventory, understanding, asking from true need, safety–making the changes where they count. Inside. These internal changes will allow you to effortlessly make different decisions about what actions to take, which means you will see changes in your financial reality. Why wait to start?

Dear Mark,

I was on the call with you just now. I can’t tell you how thrilled I am that you are leading Heart of Money Transformational Journey again. I can’t agree with you more that people’s issues with money undermine the results of their marketing and hinder the effectiveness and success of their businesses.  I have seen it in myself, and it just makes sense.  I loved your comments on spirituality and provision.

I would honestly go so far as to say that most people who come to you should probably be required to first take Money:Transformational Journey before taking the MoneyFlow class. I have seen the difference for me in taking the Transformational Journey course–and the struggles others have had who have not taken it.

FYI, not long after I took the Transformational Journey course, my husband and I had built in our back yard two little cottages for the Reiki Center. When I started the project, I thought it might cost as little as $15,000–and I could pay it off in a few years  (since I wouldn’t be paying rent anymore).  Then I learned it would cost $25,000.  I wasn’t happy about it, but still figured it was worth it.

By making a number of decisions that felt totally right, the cost ultimately became $50,000. Ouch!  That was 2 years ago.

Funny thing is, the house and the cost of the cottages are completely paid off.  We have no debt whatsoever. In this economy, it is amazing, strange, and a huge relief. The most interesting thing is that I am not anxious about being debt-free, as I have been in the past (when that had occurred). I am not spending money as soon as it comes in. I am maintaining a groundedness about money that I know comes from that class. A huge burden has been lifted, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

So thank you for your help–as always.  It was wonderful hearing you talk again today–and being reminded of the key points in your work. Good reminders for me, as I continue to play and work in my business. And, again, I am thrilled beyond words that you are teaching The Heart of Money Transformational Journey again.

With love and many blessings to you and to Holly,
Siddheshwari Sullivan

“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:

  • Freedom in your relationship with money.
  • Abundance and ease in your finances.
  • Clarity in your financial decision-making.
  • Confidence that replaces the knot of fear in your belly.

“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 (okay, there’s a little woo-woo, especially class six) 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 currently standing, so you have the resources to begin to walk forward.
  • Receiving versus Taking. I always hear people say, “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 toward 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. These two classes are 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 toward 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 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

    Okay, so here’s how the course works, in four parts:

    The course itself.
    Each class includes Q&A from the previous class, teaching, and guided exercise.

    Class Recordings–MP3 audio downloads.

    Each class will be recorded, and you will receive the recordings as mp3 files that you can download onto your computer.

    You will be able to listen to the meditations, discussions and exercises as often as you need. And, if an emergency comes up, you won’t have missed the class. The recording quality is top notch- I’ve invested a hefty chunk of change in recording equipment so you can actually hear clearly what’s being said and discussed without straining through “fuzz n buzz.”

    Plus, we always divide our audio up into tracks, with ID3 labels, which just means that you won’t have these big, honkin’ 90-minute audios, but instead a series of shorter 5-20 minute tracks that show up properly labelled when imported into iTunes.

    course_notes_coverv21Workbooks of Teachings and Exercises

    Each class you’ll receive a pdf workbook, with the teaching and exercise fully explained. Some people process information well through listening, some people need to read it, and others need both.

    Plus, sometimes you just want to go back and review, without having to work through the entire audio.

    These are based upon the chapters in Unveiling the Heart of Your Business, with some elaboration and further explanation.

    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.

    We’ll be giving you a detailed guide for how to work with your partners, based on years of facilitating partner exercises.

    check-in1Check-ins Every Week

    You will be asked to fill out an online form for a check-in before every class, recording your experiences, your challenges, and any questions you might have.

    This could be considered “homework,” but really, the process of checking in means that you will be taking the time to reflect on what you’ve learned during the week, allowing it to sink in more deeply.

    Plus, there’s an extra bonus that comes from the check-ins… The Q&A’s.

    course_qna_coverv2PDF of Q&A’s

    With so many participants, it will be impossible to answer all the questions during the class itself. So, I’ll be collecting all the questions you ask in your check-ins, and answering them in writing, and distributing the questions (with all identifying personal details removed) with my written answer.

    Questions that are similar, I’ll bring together and answer collectively. And unique questions that come up, I’ll answer in-depth. And you’ll get all of them.

He’s had the same spiritual healership training that I have, and his work is tremendous. Plus, he’s a successful business person himself, and a long-term past client of Heart of Business.

    Because he’s also just a human being, there are only 20 slots available for individual work alongside this class. So, sign up for one, if you are so moved, before they go.

    Best Yet–An 87.5% Total Guarantee (87.5%?)

    It’s very important to me that this class helps you get where you want to go. You can decide, for any reason, up to one year after the end of the class in August, 2009 that the class didn’t work for you and you want a refund. But there are some conditions.

    And the 87.5%? The class works, but only if you attend and follow-through. If you complete 87.5% of the class: attend (or listen attentively to) 7 out of the 8 classes, show up for 7 out of the 8 partner exercises, and complete 87.5% of the assignments, and you are still unhappy with the results, then I’ll be happy to refund any tuition you paid toward this course.

    Is it finally time to permanently change your relationship to money? If so, please join me.

    best to you, and your business,
    Mark Silver
