Suze Orman+ Sherlock Holmes=Financial Whisperer

When ever I talk to either groups of people or individuals, inevitability they ask me if I do what Suze Orman does. I do not dispense financial advice, nor tell people how to get out of debt, nor give them financial tools.

What I do is help them dig deep into the reasons WHY they have so much debt, why they cannot manage their money, why personal finances has become the theater in which they express their pain.

The Financial Whisperer is about healing the source of the pain, not stage II, as I call financial planners and people like Suze Orman. People cannot keep their commitments unless they have healed, so when Suze Orman gives you advice as to personal budgeting, so many people fail at it because their foundation is not solid.

And, Suze Orman only focuses on financial issues. I always say to people: "it's not really about the money; it's about your relationships with the material world, whether it be spouses, children, co-workers, friends, your home, etc.

A little detective work goes a long way on the path to self-awareness.
