MONEY
“No margin, no mission.” Sister Irene Kraus
MONEY
In early entrepreneur life, if not for the life of the business and the entrepreneur, “cash is king.” People have a complex myriad of emotions regarding their relationship with money that they often feel unable or unwilling to face. Without money, businesses and entrepreneurs cannot survive or thrive. Net worth is often associated with self worth, driving who we are personally and professionally. While this can be protested, disagreed with, and railed against, it is a truth that needs to be reconciled at every phase of the business journey, from inception to ongoing success.
Hierophant
At the risk of being accused of blasphemy with this card’s correlation to money, the Hierophant is associated with structured religion and seen as an embodiment or conduit of the divine. In America, despite a “separation of church and state,” “in God we trust” is on our money. Just as money is printed paper imbued with profound significance and marriage is a legal contract, the Hierophant links to both the concrete structures and deeper meaning that drives and organizes us.
Questions to consider:
- How is your cash flow impacting you personally and professionally?
- What role do your beliefs play in your relationship with money?
- What structures or processes can improve your financial foundation?
- How do your beliefs or emotions about money impact the foundation and success of your business?
