Why Your Wealth Dynamics Profile Isn't
Enough – Or Even What You Thought It Was
(And How You Can Turn This To Your Advantage)
“If Wealth Dynamics is so powerful, how come I’m not able to make it work in practice?”
Stop Press: Nick Haines’ next
highly sought after event, Friday 5th March 2010 – see details below. This email has been designed to
bring you immediate insights, but if you really can’t afford the time to read it until later, please skip ahead
to read about Nick Haines’ next ‘Conscious Wealth Event’ in London. Previous events have attracted outstanding
feedback, and we only have a few places left.
Have you ever been lost
driving around in a one-way street system? If so, you’ll probably agree that it can be a pretty frustrating
experience.
Before you get lost you’re
full of optimism as you head to your destination. After all, you’ve got your new map or trusty sat-nav, which
gives you confidence about your route. Then, reality being what it is, what you see as you drive doesn’t quite
match up to your map, and you lose your bearings. As you begin to sense you’ve made a wrong turn, doubt sets in
and you start to worry about getting to your destination on time. As things progress, you can begin to wonder
how you’re going to get there at all. Ultimately, your only options are to re-orientate yourself somehow, get
lucky or give up, right?
This is a pretty accurate
analogy to what many people are experiencing in business right now, even if you’re equipped with a map in the
form of Wealth Dynamics. There are some very clear reasons for this, which we’ll come to in a moment, but first,
ask yourself these quick questions:
Have you struggled to really leverage
your Wealth Dynamics profile profitably?
Is the pursuit of flow proving to be a
fulfilling or frustrating experience?
Do you feel there's something missing
and if you could just ‘get it’ you could move forward?
If so, you’re not alone.
Here’s why…
However insightful and
inspiring Wealth Dynamics is, and however much you resonate with what you know about your profile so far, in
reality, it’s only a one dimensional snap shot of your value and how you most naturally create wealth.
In fact, many people struggle
to ever see how their Wealth Dynamics Profile relates to their current work or future wealth.
That’s why there are a lot of
myths and questions floating around about Wealth Dynamics and how to get real-world, lasting practical
advantage from the principles it’s based on. For example:
“As a Creator, I just need to focus
on creating.”
“I’m the quietest person in the room
– how could I really be a Star?”
“I’m a Supporter, so my greatest
value must be based on my network.”
“I’m a Deal Maker, but I don’t do
deals, so where is my value?”
“I know Traders who never buy or
sell anything, but they still have a thriving business.”
“Can Accumulators make great money
without holding significant assets?”
“How can a Lord be an indispensable
member of a start-up without looking at numbers”
“Is it true that Mechanics can
create value without developing systems?”
Why does this matter?
Well, if you’re like most
people, Wealth Dynamics isn’t your main focus in life by a long shot. You see it as a map or tool to help guide
you to achieve your goals as efficiently as possible. But Wealth Dynamics isn’t like a pencil or other tool
that’s disposable if it breaks. You probably didn’t undertake profiling lightly. You looked inside yourself to
complete your profile test. You did this in order to gain insights, re-focus your direction and accelerate your
progress. So when profiling doesn’t appear to work, it’s not a trivial issue.
Because then the stakes are
raised. You’re not making progress towards what you really want to do. You know that you can recognise yourself
in your profile – or at least significant parts of it. And you know that others can, too. So why hasn’t your
profile made such a tangible difference?
The truth is, privately, that
it hurts when you’re not progressing as you had hoped towards your cherished goals. And when you invest in
yourself, financially, intellectually and emotionally, it hurts even more if that doesn’t pay off as you thought
it would.
Most of us aren’t here to ‘get
by’ or be average. We’re not happy with middling results, and we want to make a difference. We also know that
nothing of consequence is achieved on our own, without additional input to guide us in the right direction and
help us avoid costly mistakes that others have made before us.
As an essential part of that
input, it’s vital to get an accurate understanding of who we are, how and where we operate best, and our optimum
path to get results. We know we’re not all wired the same because if we were, we’d all be wearing the same
clothes, eating the same foods etc. So having an effective ‘operating manual’ for us as individuals isn’t a nice
to have, it’s mission critical.
Discover the full story at the
heart of Wealth Dynamics and the five energies, and the hidden traits that make the real difference
between surviving and thriving in business, relationships and health.
Hi, I’m Nicholas Haines.
Just in case we don’t know
each other already, I’ve been working with people from all walks of life for over 30 years to help them
successfully navigate around problems like the ones we’ve just walked through. I’ve studied and practiced
Chinese medicine and philosophy professionally since I was a teenager, and throughout my career, I’ve been
recognised as a leading authority in this field both here in the UK and internationally.
Increasingly, I’m being asked
to help people who are struggling to apply Wealth Dynamics in their businesses and their lives. And as grateful
as I am for the opportunity to do just that, I’m also sad to see such confusion reign, and the cost of that
confusion.
You see, as great as Wealth
Dynamics is, most people try to apply their profiles without a sufficient understanding of the bigger picture,
the practical principles underpinning it and how to apply them holistically. This leads to driving around,
metaphorically speaking, on streets that may be near your destination, but constantly missing or bypassing it,
often going round endlessly in circles. Here’s a brief overview of what’s driving this pattern…
You probably know that Wealth
Dynamics and personality profiling is based on Chinese philosophy, as recorded in texts such as the I
Ching. And you’re probably also familiar with the five energies (Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal).
What you’re unlikely to know, however, are the deeper traits for each of these energy types, and how
these traits play a crucial part in your progress.
Think of these energies and
their specific blend of traits as recipes: apply too much of one trait, and you over-cook the recipe, with
serious consequences. Under-apply another trait, and the same can happen. At the very least, not knowing and
properly balancing these traits will impede your progress, causing you to have to work harder, longer and at
greater cost to get the same results as others who get this right.
And when this mix gets too
far out of balance, I’ve seen successful businesses brought to their knees and even bankrupted in shockingly
short periods.
One of my
clients learned this lesson very painfully. He over-applied the Wood trait of ‘seeking justice’, took on the
industry giants and lost everything. Meanwhile, his Fire, Earth and Metal dominant colleagues each mis-applied
key traits that not only compounded, but actually accelerated the demise of their company.
And just so we’re clear,
this is about using your traits in appropriate balance as you carry out the work required to run your business
profitably and to maintain healthy relationships and physical vitality. What this isn’t about is simply ‘being’,
‘resonating’ or ‘manifesting’. Each of those states has their place, but we’re here to focus on getting the
things done that move you tangibly towards your worthwhile goals.
In my private practice, I’ve
seen these traits played out in a myriad of ways in each sphere of my clients’ lives: impacts on their
businesses, their financial health, physical wellbeing and the quality of their relationships (with others and
themselves).
Success is about learning and
understanding about yourself and others, to direct your interactions and actions with clarity to move
consistently nearer to your goals.
With that focus in mind, there
are three main problems to overcome:
Setting out in the wrong direction,
because your map is wrong for you or has insufficient detail, resulting in you becoming quickly lost and
disillusioned
Setting out in the right direction,
with the right map, but misinterpreting it and therefore heading down blind alleys and expending far too
much time, money and energy for too little results that don’t get you to your goal
Having the right direction and map,
and reading the map correctly, but failing to act in accordance with the awareness of the continuous
actions you need to take
I know from extensive direct
experience that each of these problems can be overcome, with the right knowledge and support. My purpose is to
share what I’ve learned and practiced over these past 30 years with as many people as possible, particularly as
so many are moving to take advantage of the changing business landscape.
That’s why I’ve created the
concept of ‘Conscious Wealth’.
One of the three pillars of
‘Conscious Wealth’(we will look at the others on the day) is to enable entrepreneurs like you to gain
conscious awareness of your hidden personal traits (including both your strengths and weaknesses), the
effect these have on your actions and relationships, and how these relate to your situation, so that you can
harness this knowledge to accelerate your success in building your wealth – financially, in your
relationships and for your physical health and vitality.
Conscious Wealth is based on
my experience in applying my in-depth knowledge and skills, and those of carefully selected partners, to help
entrepreneurs solve real-world problems in their business and personal lives. Over the past few months, I’ve
been running a pre-launch version of Conscious Wealth and here’s a taster of what our clients have
experienced:
Interior
Designer Karen Haller was looking for guidance on how to apply her ‘Trader’ Wealth Dynamics profile. She had
previously been advised that her best strategy would be to find a Creator profile in the design industry and let
them carry out the bulk of the design. This didn’t sound or feel right to Karen, so she asked for my advice.
Through our
discussion of the deeper traits of the Earth and Metal energies, it became clear that Karen’s profile is
actually that of ‘Accumulator’. We then worked together to devise a strategic approach for her design business
that she recognised immediately as much more in keeping with her strengths, skills and passion.
Here’s
what Karen had to say after our session:
"Nick is
truly gifted in the way he was able to explain my Wealth Dynamics profile in relation to my work, how I interact
with others and myself with such clarity. Thank you so much...Just brilliant!" –
Karen Haller, Interior Designer
Based on my work with Karen
and hundreds more over my career, I launched a series of workshops last year to take these concepts out to a
wider audience than I could serve in private consultations. Here’s some of the feedback from those
workshops:
Isabel
Lyons is an undisputed expert on profiling tools. She has extensively studied and applied their principles for
major companies and individuals in transition. As well as helping thousand s of people she has developed a clear
sense of the value of each these tools. She currently working on an exciting project on the gateways people have
in transition.
This is
what Isobel said after one of our workshops in London:
"If you're
considering whether to attend one of Nick's workshops, to use a cliché, JUST DO IT! You leave with a clearer
picture of yourself and a deeper understanding of the people around you. More importantly, you receive clarity
about what your next steps in life should be AND how to take them. For me, the proverbial ball of string has
been unravelled!" – Isabel Lyons (‘Star’ profile)
"If there
is one workshop you need to attend, to uncover the power of your wealth dynamics profile, this is it. Actually
it is far more; it is a window into knowing and understanding yourself, and others in the fullest possible
sense. This awareness creates the impetus to move into your flow. Nick imparts profound knowledge with an ease
that engages you from beginning to end. I highly recommend it." – Jenny Ibbotson, writer and speaker
(‘Creator’)
In each case, these
entrepreneurs came to me with questions about how to get their Wealth Dynamics profile working profitably for
them. What they learned was that their profiles were good starting points, but weren’t providing them with the
complete map they needed in order to see what was really going on, where they were headed and what they could do
about it.
Without these insights, they
recognised that they weren’t able to operate at their best, which was costing them time, money and energy. But
although they realised this, they weren’t fully confident on what they could do differently. With the additional
perspective they gained through our work together, they now have renewed clarity on the traits that they weren’t
aware of, and how to use these effectively to pursue a smarter game plan in the course of business and the rest
of their lives.
Karen, Isabel and Jenny are of
course unique, but they’re also typical, in that their challenges arose from not knowing the hidden factors that
were influencing their actions and interactions. These are issues I’ve seen countless times in my private
practice, in sessions around the world.
Ultimately, what we’re talking
about is balance, and how your state of balance or imbalance will be helping you move nearer to your goals or
holding you back. And because there are ‘hidden factors’ at play within you, this is a subtle, yet powerful area
to get right.
The questions I advise all of my clients to consider are:
Which traits are actively at work within you?
Which actions and interactions are being affected, and how?
Are these traits, actions and interactions in balance?
If not, what impact are those imbalances having on your business, your finances,
relationships and health?
What’s the total cost of those impacts?
What would the effect be of correcting these imbalances?
The feedback for this
work has been excellent, which tells me that the work is proving valuable and making a difference – which is why
I was attracted to it over 30 years ago and why I’ve dedicated my life to helping as many people as possible to
unlock their hidden potential through these insights.
If what I’ve shared with
you so far makes sense and you know you could be getting better results in your business, finances,
relationships or health, then I’d like to share one further thing…
I’d like to extend an invitation
to our
next Conscious Wealth workshop with a small, trusted group of entrepreneurs in
London on Friday 5th March, where we’ll be putting these
insights through their paces, in a very practical, hand-on way to get results quickly.
(Otherwise, please
read on to learn why this workshop will deliver unique insights that will help you lift your performance in your
business, your finances, relationships and health.)
In this workshop, you’ll
learn that there is far more behind your profile, your value and your challenges than you’ve found thus far via
Wealth Dynamics – and how to put this new knowledge to immediate commercial and personal use.
We’ll be digging below
the surface of what most people know about the hidden traits that influence our behaviours, to show you exactly
which of your specific traits are helping and which are hindering progress in your work and your life.
And crucially, you’ll
leave with everything you need to act on this new knowledge, including a specific action plan to re-balance the
equation in your favour.
Here’s are the
highlights of what we’ll be covering:
Scene setting; why this is
different from Wealth Dynamics
Understanding your profile
Your Value, Strengths,
Weaknesses and Challenges
Famous case studies
(e.g. what Richard Branson’s real profile is, the choices that presents him and how this makes a
difference to how his businesses operate; John F Kennedy’s profile and how this informed his
approach as President)
The five energies – what they really mean
Exploring the energies
in turn
Digging into the traits
for each, and the real-world implications for these
Examining the movement
between the energies as seasons
More famous case studies
(Hitler, Emmeline Pankhurst, Dr Martin Luther King etc)
Case studies from the
group and/or Nick’s client base
Live exercises: rating
your balance for your key traits (for each energy) and noting the real-world impacts,
including your actions and your relationships with others
Conscious Wealth introduction:
Awareness, Responsibility and Choices
The Conscious Wealth
Journey
Live exercises: building your
action plan
Here are further
highlights of what you’ll learn:
Why success for Creators comes
not just from creating new products and services
Why the quietest person in a
room could be a Star
That Supporters’ greatest value
may be nothing to do with their network or networking (the answer will most likely surprise
you)
The reason that many Dealmakers
are in demand without ever doing a deal
Situations where Traders who
never buy or sell anything can still enjoy a thriving business
Accumulator qualities that
enable them to make great money without holding assets
How Lords can be indispensable
members within a start-up without looking at numbers
The value that Mechanics can
create within an organisation without developing systems
The Conscious Wealth
workshop also includes a workbook with:
My own
proprietary detailed mind maps for each of the five energies, showing you clearly each of the key traits
at play, and how each of these shows up when over-applied, under-applied, or in balance (these mind maps
pull together 30 years of my work and are not available for sale separately);
Each of the
live exercise worksheets we go through with you, with spare copies to allow you to repeat the exercises
to monitor progress going forward;
Your own
personalised action plan that we work with you to complete on the day.
We’ve worked hard to ensure
this workshop delivers maximum value, and we believe you’ll agree.
This is what leading social
entrepreneur Leon Aarts (founder of www.ExtraordinaryOnes.com)
said after one of our workshops in London:
Special

Final
Questions?If you’re still reading at this stage, it may be
because you have just one or two final queries in order to finalise your decision, so here’s a quick recap in
the form of questions that typically come to mind at this stage:
What’s the purpose of
this workshop?This workshop has been designed, based on 30
years of professional study and private consulting practice, plus wide-ranging feedback, to give you added
insights that you won’t find anywhere else in one place, and certainly not nearly as
accessible.
The workshop is based on
ancient Chinese philosophy and medicine, the same theory that Wealth Dynamics draws from. This wisdom has
evolved over 5000 years of systematic observation and recording, and gives you clarity to help you understand
all the complexity of your actions and interactions. Although this is only the first stage, this knowledge, once
mastered, helps you unravel even the most seemingly complicated situations and scenarios, helping you see the
choices you have to make and the actions you should take – the actions that lead to success.
Who is the workshop
aimed at?If you are an entrepreneur who knows there is more
to your game than you’re currently able to achieve, and you want to break out of the cycle of simply trying
harder at the things you’ve already been doing and not breaking the pattern, then this workshop is for
you.
Is this just another
Wealth Dynamics workshop?Not at all. Although this workshop
is designed for you because of your interest in Wealth Dynamics and your profile, it is not ‘Wealth Dynamics as
you know it’. We will explore, play and challenge some of your current thinking. By understanding the ‘Chinese
energy patterns’ we will also see the full magic of Wealth Dynamics, its lessons and value. This workshop is the
beginning of a new way of seeing so many aspects of our life, Wealth Dynamics being just one of
them.
How practical will the
day be?Entirely. We will relate very concept we share with
you to the practical impacts you can see in business and daily life. We want you to see clearly what each
insight means in practical terms, so that you can apply what you’ve learned immediately and
profitably.
Will the day be
intensive?Absolutely, but you’ll find the materials
refreshingly simple to grasp, in fact, much simpler than many other personal development approaches. After all,
we want you to be able to put these concepts into action, not to be dazzled by brilliance.
