In this episode we’re doing the same for the subject of wealth and abundance.\n\nWe make a case that our collective definition for wealth is one that’s been shaped by society, culture and industry. Many are the actors, and each has contributed towards influencing our thinking about how we value and define wealth. \n\nCapitalism driven by human behavior has its virtues. But it also has its “dark” side such as greed, dishonesty and manipulation. Take it from a marketing guy; don’t underestimate the power of advertising and marketing to sway our behavior and thinking regarding money and wealth.\n\nAs we like to quote Socrates, “The unexamined life is not worth living.” \n\nWe invite you to listen to this episode and examine your definition of wealth. Is it best supporting the essence of who you are at your heart’s core? Are you taking a balanced view? Is the amount of time, energy and focus you spend on the money side of wealth-building better used towards those things near and dear to your heart?\n\nListen here and please don’t forget to check out the links to all the resources shared in this podcast from your podcast app or from our website at www.hwph.org.\n\nIn support of living your inspired life!\n\nMark Dale Mazur, RLP®\nRegistered Life Planner\n\n \n\nWhat We Discuss:\n•\tA traditional definition of wealth\n•\tWealth as physical assets of monetary value\n•\tRedefining and expanding the definition around wealth\n•\tAre we spending too much time and energy dealing with money\n•\tNet worth statement vs self worth statement\n•\tWhy are we so focused on wealth?\n•\tThe link to insecurity, status seeking and social acceptance and seeking wealth\n•\tShifting from an external focus on life to an inner focus \n•\tThe influence of the financial industry marketing machine on our focus on money\n•\tWhat was the original American dream?
