Trust and Money

BY LORNA SHERLAND

Making money and self-trust are the same. They go hand in hand. Hence, if you struggle with trusting yourself, you will also likely struggle with making money. On the other hand, if you have faith in yourself, you will have the confidence to make money, and as a result, you will make money.

Brene Brown talks about the anatomy of trust, which has seven elements: Boundaries, Reliability, Accountability, Vault, Integrity, Nonjudgement, and Generosity. When any of these elements get violated, it can damage your selfesteem. However, when you trust yourself, you have the conviction to take the necessary steps and risks to achieve your financial goals. As you gain more experience and success, making money will also increase your self-trust. It is a perpetual cycle that will only grow and improve over time.

Having trust in yourself is crucial when it comes to creating money. When you believe in yourself and your abilities, you are more likely to take calculated risks that can lead to financial success. You are more likely to listen to your intuition and make decisions that align with your values and goals. This can help you avoid making impulsive or short-sighted financial decisions that can negatively impact your financial stability.

In contrast, a lack of self-trust can restrict you from taking prudent advantage of opportunities and making the decisions necessary for financial growth. It becomes even more difficult when it comes to investing in yourself to get the education and knowledge needed to build wealth. Typically, individuals who make impulsive short-term financial decisions are operating under the influence of others, wanting to please and be liked by people.

A key aspect of trusting yourself is having a growth mindset. This means

Since 1886 The Los Angeles Tribune has been offering censorship-free news, complementary resources, world-class events, and a community focused on self-actualization and service of others.

It is considered one of the longest-lasting historic names in the journalism industry and has earned a reputation for being a legacy publication that practices integrity, authenticity, and responsibility.

While keeping traditions and values alive and ensuring they are stronger than ever, The Los Angeles Tribune has remained steadfast in the desire to reinvigorate its extraordinary name.

It is doing so by bringing about a new generation of individual readers and a growth-oriented community who proudly live in a new era of self-development. This is no easy feat.

Never shying away from the unwavering stance to keep its integrity, The Los Angeles Tribune has declined corporate influence, speaking solely on behalf of partisan interest and campaigning for our constitutional right to freedom of speech. This time, The LA Tribune and team are becoming even more audacious with their everexpanding vision and approach to change the narrative on what’s newsworthy, as it initiates the movement to redefine the media.

This special quarterly Leadership Edition of The Los Angeles Tribune is one of many strides being made to accomplish this undertaking. It is the world’s first newspaper edition dedicated exclusively to leadership and personal development.

“We are in a unique time of opportunity, where we can come together to rise into our highest potential as individuals and make changes to unite for the greater good of humanity,” says Moe Rock, CEO of The Los Angeles Tribune stated, when asked why the team decided it was important to bring this project to life now. “The people are speaking up and asking for what they want, which in my opinion is the truth. The Los Angeles Tribune is here to serve the people. We are doing so by publishing transparent information and providing transformational resources, cutting-edge education, and access to a lifelong community.”

As a leadership content source, The Los Angeles Tribune wants to go beyond simply putting out “newsworthy” information. What separates this media conglomerate from the rest is that they are devoted to making a lasting impact by changing the narrative on what constitutes newsworthy, as well as impacting the local community and setting goals to touch the lives of those across the globe.

The Los Angeles Tribune team demonstrated their ability to achieve this with the latest Neuroscience Summit. In partnership with Top Talent Agency, both organizations brought together some of the world’s most renowned and diverse experts in brain health and brain wealth, such as Michael Beckwith, Mark Waldman, and Dr. John Demartini. This event served as a stage for evolving research and personal opinions from international leaders who hail from different industries and hold various perspectives.

The team believes that the way to the hearts of the people is by creating deep and meaningful conversations that give the community the power of choice. This can be achieved through diversified information instead of forcing a single narrative or agenda. It was therefore not surprising that this event reached audience members from 7 countries – it only affirmed the extent of what’s possible.

The Los Angeles Tribune also continues to stand behind significant movements, as demonstrated by its hosting of women’s events that promote equality and opportunity. It has partnered with household names of female scientists, thought leaders, doctors, and other outstanding professionals such as Dr. Natalie Forest, Sharon Lechter, and Dame Marie Diamond. Their team has also been peacefully protesting and has published articles to bring greater awareness to issues surrounding women’s rights in the Middle East with help from Dr. Joe Vitale. They are even opening up registration for their highly anticipated Money Forum scheduled for February 16th-19th With no plans to slow down their events, workshops, personal and digital networking, and media opportunities-this is the best time to subscribe.

As a co-producer for their last two events and a contributor to this publication, I have realized that honoring the people of our world, embracing diversity, standing for important causes, and offering opportunities to those wanting to share their voice are some of the most important pillars of The Los Angeles Tribune. This is why it is offering a multitude of different ways you can be involved with this newspaper and the movement behind it.

One way is to become a subscriber and join the community of like-minded individuals who value connection and interpersonal development as well as a desire to gain access to unadulterated information, events, and world-class leaders. The other, and also remarkable, path to involvement is to become a contributor by offering your voice and wisdom, leaving your positive mark on the world.

Hearing about the Leadership Edition of this newspaper has brought me a sense of relief. Finally, there is an intentionally curated news outlet and platform for our generation’s empaths, coaches, speakers, and way-showers. This newspaper is a collaborative effort for all. The Los Angeles Tribune is giving a voice to those who have felt voiceless, power to those who have felt powerless, and most of all, offering hope to those who have felt hopeless.

“We can all be proud of the impact and change we are making on the world.” being open to learning and growth, and having the resilience to bounce back from setbacks. When you approach your finances with a growth mindset, you are more likely to seek out opportunities for growth and improvement, even when things don’t go according to plan.

- Moe Rock, CEO.

So how does this traditional newspaper company plan to survive in a modern age and redefine what’s newsworthy? It seems very obvious to me. It’s by attentively listening, actively responding, and consistently showing up for the people.

As a female entrepreneur, leadership and performance coach, podcast host, and fellow truth seeker myself, I have taken notice. I am hopeful about the trajectory of humanity as a whole because of the strides being made by The Los Angeles Tribune in offering more positive and uplifting content. I believe the way to shift the consciousness of humanity is by way of personal transformation, coming back to love, and leading ourselves into true prosperity. This newspaper is one of the many ways we can all hold each other accountable for doing that.

I’m walking into 2023 feeling eager, inspired, and empowered. I’m also willing to bet that those who decide to become a part of this community will likely feel the same.

This is history in the making, and I invite you to be a part of it with us.

Another piece of this conversation on trust is around identity. It is a shame to see how in the entertainment industry, many celebrities who find themselves in financial difficulty will choose to end their lives when they lose their money.

This likely happens because their identity is tied to money and not their authentic spiritual being. It could also be due to their lack of knowledge that money is actually a spiritual and energetic experience.

People don’t trust themselves because they have lost their identity or are disconnected from their authentic selves. While this does not apply to everyone, there are many wealthy people who have grounded their identity in money. When they lose this foundation, they begin to feel helpless, hopeless, and desperate, leading them to make unfortunate decisions and even wanting to end their lives.

Through the law of polarity, there is the other side of that coin. The person with no money or a deeply disempowering money story would have difficulty connecting their identity with being wealthy. As a result, he would unconsciously repel or reject money every time, calling it “bad luck” or saying “that’s not for me.”

Others say they trust God, yet do they really? My other question would then be, how can you trust God if you cannot trust yourself? The first commandment says to love God and love others AS you love yourself. The last is actually the first! You must love yourself before you can love God and love others. The secret is hidden in plain sight.

After practicing real estate consulting and sales for over 20, she stands firm by the policy that every deal and every client relationship is either a Win-Win or No Deal.

Her mission is to shift people’s mindsets from who they are NOW to who they WANT TO BE because she believes that the secret to success is something people have within themselves — the power of their MINDS.

Therefore, love is also synonymous with trust. If you love yourself, your identity will be so grounded that you can trust yourself, bet on yourself to earn and keep the money, and have the impact you want to make in the world.

In conclusion, trust, identity, and money are closely related and can positively impact each other. When you trust yourself and believe in your true identity, you are more likely to make sound financial decisions and achieve financial success, and in turn, financial success can increase our self-trust. Thus, it is vital to cultivate a strong sense of self-trust to achieve financial stability and success than to create money just to say, “look at me; I’m rich.”
