Introduction. How does your financial intelligence actually work?

Оглавление

Curiously, financial intelligence, which is the subject of so much fuss when it comes to money, is really just one facet of your powerful intelligence. That is, it does not exist apart from other types of intelligence. Accordingly, in order to understand how financial intelligence works, you need to understand how intelligence works in general.

What is intelligence in general?

Intelligence is the ability to solve various life tasks, find a way out of difficult situations and achieve the desired results. Moreover, the results achieved always correspond to the level of development of one or another facet of your intelligence. Good health and athletic performance are indicative of high bodily intelligence. Success in career and communication speaks for high emotional intelligence. Family happiness and charismatic attractiveness speak of high sexual intelligence. And financial success and an abundance of free time speak volumes about high financial intelligence.

Achievements in one area of life do not automatically lead to achievements in other areas of life. However, there are always certain chains of sequences and patterns, when one facet of intelligence strengthens another, connected with it, and contributes to success in related areas. For example, learning success (cognitive intelligence) strengthens analytical and creative intelligence, while creative success in turn strengthens speech and cognitive intelligence.

Perception, thinking, memory, attention, imagination, planning, speech and actions are the main tools of the intellect, with the help of which it, in fact, solves the tasks before you. The way you relate to certain situations, what you think, what you remember, what you pay attention to, what you dream about, what you plan, what you talk about and how you act – all this does not just characterize you as a person, but is a reflection your intelligence. The higher it is, the easier, faster and more correctly you solve certain life tasks.

How are things going with financial intelligence? Financial intelligence is the ability to solve various monetary issues and achieve the desired results in the field of money. At the same time, financial intelligence is born at the junction of the interaction of emotional and sexual intelligence, which, in turn, are based on bodily intelligence:


Interaction of intelligences


We will not touch upon bodily, emotional and sexual intelligence in this book. This is a topic for a separate book. We will only touch on financial intelligence. But keep in mind that it does not function by itself, but in active interaction with other parts of the intellect.

At the same time, financial intelligence is a skill that lends itself to training and can be easily measured by key indicators (cost of an hour of time, rate of monthly income, delta size1 and total asset value). By and large, training financial intelligence includes changing attitudes towards money, raising financial expectations (financial thermostat, financial goals, financial plan), transforming thinking strategies and pumping skills that are responsible for growth in key indicators (for example, systemic decision-making skill in uncertainty or systemic problem solving skill).

Financial intelligence is based on a financial program and a financial scenario based on a certain attitude towards money and financial expectations. Financial expectations can be completely different, and the attitude towards money can be negative, conditionally negative, neutral or positive. The financial scenario can be negative (financial dependence scenario), positive (financial security scenario), natural (financial independence scenario), and absolute (financial freedom scenario). Financial programs also four: this is a bankruptcy program (when a person spends more than he earns and lives in debt), a poverty program (when a person spends everything that he earns), a delayed poverty program (when a person spends everything that he earns, but not immediately) and a program wealth (when a person sets aside part of their income and creates investment capital).

At the same time, financial intelligence has the same 8 tools at its disposal as intelligence in general. It is with their help that he solves all the financial problems facing you. So ask yourself:

– perception: how do I react to life circumstances? Is it aggressive or calm? Do I avoid or overcome difficulties?

– thinking: what do I think about money? How do I think about money and opportunities – positively or negatively?

– memory: what do I know about money? What is my memory clogged with?

– attention: what am I focusing on? Is it abundance or scarcity? Is there enough money in my reality or not enough?

– imagination: what am I dreaming about? What picture in my imagination about money am I painting?

– planning: what am I planning? What’s my enrichment plan? How do I plan to manage my time and money?

– speech: what am I talking about money? Who and what do I communicate with?

– actions: what am I doing to increase my value to society and earn more?

In addition to these tools, financial intelligence has 16 main markers by which you can track its development :


Markers for the development of your financial intelligence. Where are you now? And where would you like to be in a year? What kind of life do you choose for yourself? The same as the majority? What if you could improve your financial intelligence and be among the 10% of the richest and most successful people on the planet? How would your life change then? Think about it!


After looking closely at this table, you will immediately understand a lot. If you have a negative attitude towards core values, this will prevent you from attracting good money into your life and keeping it. If a poverty program is running in your head, it will prevent you from living the life of your dreams. If the cost of an hour of your time is below the norm, if you have no assets, if you invest money and time in the wrong things that rich and successful people invest in, what do you want? How can money come into your life?

Do not judge strictly, for the English language for the author is not native. If possible, treat indulgently with possible mistakes and wrong words in the text. Remember that only those who do nothing do not make mistakes! Try to understand the essence of what the author wanted to say. Then you will get the most benefit from reading this book.
