THIS BOOK OFFERS YOU "OUT OF THE BOX" CONCEPTS WITH MONEY Money Isn't The Problem, You Are is written for people who live in a constant state of difficulty around money, whether it's spending too much, not having enough, or having too much. In Money Isn't The Problem, You Are, Gary Douglas and Dain Heer share processes, tools, and points of view that you can use to change the way money flows into your life. Gary and Dain have worked with lots of people regarding money issues. Through innovative tools, Douglas and Heer have helped those who had $10 in their pocket and people who had ten million. The interesting thing is they all have the same issue it has nothing to do with money. It has to do with what they are unwilling to receive. What you are unwilling to receive creates the limitation of what you can have. Change THAT and money isn't an issue any more! LEARNING TO RECEIVE IS THE GREATEST THING YOU CAN DO Money Isn't The Problem, You Are is based on the very popular Access Money Seminar, which has been taught in cities throughout the U.S., Costa Rica, Australia and New Zealand. "It's not about money. It never is. It's about what you're willing to receive. The Universe is endlessly abundant. Learn to make different choices with the empowering tools in this book. You CAN create a different reality." -Gary Douglas, found of Access Consciousness(

Es un libro que se lee en una sentada.
No me gustan del todo los métodos sobre los que habla el autor sin embargo, también tiene buenos puntos, por eso tres estrellas mágicas.

Si no lo leen, tampoco se pierden de mucho.

Super easy read, I devoured it. This book gives lots of pragmatic tips and examples of what you are doing with money that is creating your money situation, and how to change it. Great book. You will have to make different choices and have different points of view about money than what other people are doing if you are really going to have a different reality with money. Possibilities expand big time when you change your point of view! Tithing to the church of you is amazing! If you do nothing else, this will change your money situation.

Mi primer acercamiento con este libro, que en realidad ni sabia que era un libro fue en un reto que se llamaba tranforma tu vida con Sandra Corcuera, después de ese momento me pareció interesante y rastreando un poco la información di que era este.

Me parece simple y fácil de leer, sin embargo, cuando no se tienen ciertos hábitos, costumbres o creencias especificas es necesario restructurar, y hacer que funcione.

Algunos tips se han estado llevando a cabo y si se nota y marca la diferencia, es un aprendizaje constante y todo es sumar sumar.

Interesting aspects about the mindset towards money.
There were some "aha" moments in the book which stuck with me. I realized, that when it comes to money, I tend to operate from a scarcity mindset in some areas, instead of from abundance. The book helped me to gain awareness about my views and feelings about my finances.
Some of the stories are a bit over the top and hard to believe, but it is still a worthy read.

Hardly take so many nuggets of truth from such a short read. Info that if applied will put you in a zen like rapport with yourself.

Money comes at me from all sides
I admire any man that earns a castle but it's harder to keep one
I'm totally abundant right now
I'm totally abundant
Wouldn't you like to give up poverty as the truth of you?
You don't believe its ok to receive
Generosity of spirit
What judgement do you have that stops you from receiving unlimitedly
Receive the greatness of you
You have to be willing to receive their energy if you would have their money
What are you unwilling to receive that creates the limitation of what you can have?
I'm 99% percent sure your lying but the 1% is bursting with hope
Exchange modality
You have created the coffin you call your life
How do you pull energy you ask the energy to pull
I decided to change things
I'm the rock in the stream the water flows around you
As long as your aware you can't be taken advantage of
I don't want to play this game with you anymore either you leave or do it?
If I can see the evil in someone and acknowledge it is that a judgment or is that in observation ?
You only get sucker punched when your not unwilling to look at what someone is doing that's not good or kind or not expansive. Start to see the truth of where someone is sitting. Don't buy into the idea that someone is all good or all bad?
He'll leave poison in your universe
Life is about experiencing the Joy of it
You got yourself pretty defined
Have you actually become lost of who you truly are?
If your going to be successful who do you have to be?
I made a choice to become bigger then I am
Misidentification
What would a job that made continuous amounts of money look and feel like?
How does it get any better then this?
All of life comes to me with ease and joy and glory
Most often the lie that hangs you up is the unspoken one
Destroy and uncreate
When you do something that is bad how long do you take to punish yourself for it?
Live your life in 10 second increments
What would it take for blank to show up?
Live in the question
Create money don't create credit and the debt that follows it
Look for abundance of your cash worthiness
The best defense is to become offensively rich
Is there some part of your life your hiding?
If your not willing to pay taxes your not willing to have income
I'm going to have this in my life
The scarcity becomes the significance
Your living in a state of near poverty
Waste not want not
Pride of poverty
What's it going to take for me to show up in my life?
Money is never the solution because money is never the problem. Receiving is the problem and you are the solution. You are not willing to receive you in your life.
Be as weird as you are just get rich
I was surrounded by real estate in my youth

Es bueno y ameno de leer, pero en realidad no dice nada del otro mundo (prácticamente cualquier coach financiero te va a decir lo mismo), tiene tips muy buenos y ataca más que nada las creencias inconscientes del dinero pero nada del otro mundo. Y hubo cosas que la verdad no me cuadraron, como por ejemplo: Cuando seas abordado por vendedores, como su propósito es romper la barrera qué hay en ti… ¡Diles que sí y cómprales!.. bueno… ok.
Algunas cosas son interesantes pero no hagan todo literal porque algunas cosas son un poco inverosímiles. Pero no es del todo malo, por eso se gana tres estrellitas para mi.

And so I begin the first of my admittedly large stack of money-oriented books to read. This one was interesting and has some techniques that I'm definitely going to try out. He does get a bit preachy on things that are obviously his personal tangents, but for the most part it's a good read (only 120 pages) for anyone who would like to change their perspective on the cash flow in their lives. Whether the techniques work or not remains to be seen, but I know for myself that just the tithing exercise has helped quite a bit of my own anxieties.

To be honest, I should have read the reviews before buying this book.. I was expecting actual money management tips that could bring a new practical perspective to the table, but it's more of a self-help/ask the universe kind of thing with a little hint of selling a course made by the writer. Definitely not for me, but I could see how some people might find it helpful and feel a little bit in control of their situation by handing over the responsibility of their money situation to the universe.

Tiene información útil y que aplica para todas las áreas de la vida, no sólo el dinero. Pero la traducción es lo peor que he leído en mi vida. Hay partes que de plano no se entiende NADA, llegando al nivel en el que ya hasta da igual la ortografía y redacción, te conformas con entender más o menos.

This book doesn't teach you how to become rich quick, where to invest or how to sell better. But it guides you to take a look in the mirror, to analyze yourself, your behaviour and the beliefs you have programmed in your subconcious. So that if you put in a little effort and work with yourself, you might become the kind of a person who ends up having more money in your life.

For me, this book just came at the right moment. I needed an answer why money is not motivating me while it does so clearly lots of other people around me. So now I found it out and due to that also watched my understanding of the world crumble down into pieces. Turns out there aren't just one kind of humans walking around on this planet, so I should stop trying to fit into their rules and form. What a relief! Thanks, guys! :)

Definitely the kind of a book you read more than once.

I'm really into metaphysics and esoteric studies, and I actually really liked this book when I first read it. However, after really getting into the nitty gritty of it and reading some other books written by this author (who is also the founder of Access Consciousness) I can't recommend anything by him or his organization. Some things in here I thought were highly questionable, such as "pulling" people's energies to get them to do what you want, which sounds like a form of manipulation to me. He also asks that you have no judgments about anything, because there is no right or wrong, or good or bad, everything is just an "interesting point of view." I think history has shown that you must question things, otherwise you don't know what you are getting sucked into.

O livro apresenta 33 propostas para ajudar as pessoas a mudarem sua relação com o dinheiro. Entre as dicas, destaca-se a importância de carregar dinheiro na carteira para criar uma sensação de abundância, além de sugerir que se guarde 10% de tudo que se ganha, promovendo uma mentalidade de prosperidade. Outra recomendação é substituir a expressão "eu gostaria de ter" por "eu terei isso na minha vida", o que altera a forma de pensar e atrai novas oportunidades. Douglas enfatiza a importância de viver na pergunta, permitindo que novas possibilidades se abram, ao invés de se limitar a julgamentos.

Buku ini ngajak lo buat ngubah pola pikir tentang uang. Penulisnya percaya bahwa masalah uang sering kali bukan soal kurangnya uang, tapi soal cara kita berpikir tentang uang. Mereka bahas bagaimana keyakinan, emosi, dan kebiasaan kita terhadap uang bisa jadi penghalang terbesar buat mencapai kemakmuran.

Pendekatan buku ini cukup filosofis dan abstrak, jadi mungkin terasa sulit buat pembaca yang lebih suka langkah-langkah praktis. Tapi, yang terbuka dengan konsep mindset shift, buku ini powerful banget.

“Todas las cosas son posibles. Tú eres un ser ilimitado. Tú tienes posibilidades ilimitadas”

Es un libro rápido de leer. Esperaba más del libro, toca puntos importantes que si te dejan pensando y otros que son un poco trillados que personalmente suenan hasta cierto punto abasurdos.

Sentí que estaba en uno de esos cursos de coaching; es cierto, no solo abarca la parte financiera sino las demás áreas personales y como ellas impactan para limitarnos a hacer cosas.

Increíble! Para procesar lentamente

Si estás buscando un libro financiero sobre tu relación con el dinero que no te diga lo mismo, este ES. Me abrió la mente y los puntos vista a nuevas ideas y me he quedado fascinada con Access Consciousness luego de esto

De verdad un viaje completo leerlo y recomiendo mucho tomarse su tiempo, es un libro para verlo con pausas, y no pasar de largo las ideas, cuestionarlas mucho, y darles una oportunidad.

Great tips about receiving and how it is directly tied to having money and wealth. This book helped me to open up to my awareness of where I haven't been willing to receive in many areas of my life, not just money, because of my beliefs. The book offers suggestions and practical actions to take to begin receiving more now.

Me hizo tener reflexiones importantes sobre el dinero, la abundancia y cómo nuestra propia mente puede ser limitante para no permitirnos recibir. Me ayudó bastante a darme cuenta de comportamientos tóxicos que he tenido con el dinero y ahora voy a aplicar el mantra de "Todo llega a mi con facilidad, gozo y gloria" a ver qué tal ✨

Buen libro de crecimiento personal, no está muy bien traducido que digamos, pero considero que tiene mensajes poderosos que pueden ayudarnos a cambiar muchos paradigmas frustrantes que pueden estar instalados en muchos de nosotros, los cuales no necesariamente están vinculados al dinero sino también a otros aspectos que hacen parte de nuestras vidas.

Es un libro muy fácil de leer, digerible digamos. Ofrece herramientas energéticas y preguntas (amo las preguntas, te hacen sentir espacio), que no solo podrían ser aplicadas al planeta del dinero; sino a relaciones propias e interpersonales, cambio de realidades y perspectivas.

A mi me gustaron y de una las he puesto en práctica.

Gracias Gary y Dain.
