WHAT'S YOUR MONEY ATTACHMENT STYLE?
Discover the hidden pattern controlling what happens when money comes in, slows down, or disappears.
Question 1: You just had one of your best revenue months ever. What's happening inside your head?
*
A
I'm proud of what I created, and I'm already thinking about how to build on it.
B
This feels amazing, but part of me is wondering how long it's going to last.
C
I feel on top of the world! I start making big plans, spending more freely, and imagining what's next. But that excitement can fade just as quickly as it arrived.
D
I'm relieved, but I don't want to think too much about the money or what happens next.
Question 2: Your sales suddenly slow down. You're not in a financial emergency, but things are quieter than usual. What's your first instinct?
*
A
I pull back a little. I don't really want to look at what's happening.
B
I start checking my numbers, thinking about where the next sale is coming from, and feeling pressure to do something immediately.
C
I look at what's changed, assess my options, and decide whether anything actually needs my attention.
D
I question everything. One minute I'm determined to fix it, and the next I want to abandon my plan and start something completely different.
Question 3:
You're feeling uncertain about money. How do you handle looking at your bank account?
*
A
I check it frequently, sometimes more than once a day, because I need to know where I stand.
B
I can look at the numbers without making them mean something about me.
C
I go back and forth between checking obsessively and avoiding it altogether.
D
I put it off. If I don't have to deal with the numbers right now, I'd rather not.
E
Question 4:
$10,000 lands in your account. What's your most natural reaction?
*
A
I feel excited, maybe even euphoric. I start making plans immediately, but my excitement can turn into second-guessing just as quickly.
B
I appreciate it, consider my priorities, and decide what I want to do with it.
C
I feel immediate relief. Finally, I can stop worrying for a minute. But I know I'll start worrying again when it gets lower.
D
I feel uncomfortable making decisions about it. I'd rather put it somewhere and not think about it too much.
E
Question 5:
There's a bigger move you want to make in your business or life, but it requires a meaningful financial investment. What happens?
*
A
I talk myself out of wanting it or convince myself I don't really need it.
B
I get excited and ready to commit, then suddenly second-guess everything or pull back when it becomes real.
C
I evaluate the opportunity, the risk, and my resources, then make a decision I can stand behind.
D
I worry about whether the investment will pay off and look for reassurance before deciding.
Question 6: Y
ou realize you need to bring in more money. What do you tend to do?
*
A
I assess what is needed and take practical action without turning it into a judgment about myself.
B
I become extremely resourceful when the pressure is intense, but sometimes I wait until things feel urgent before taking action.
C
I start doing more, reaching out more, working harder, and saying yes to opportunities I might normally decline.
D
I distract myself, delay uncomfortable conversations, or avoid the financial tasks I don't want to face.
Question 7:
You need to put yourself out there, ask for the sale, or tell someone what your work costs. What's most familiar?
*
A
I can communicate my value and let the other person make their decision without taking it personally.
B
I may undercharge, avoid following up, or tell myself I don't really need that particular opportunity.
C
I overthink how they'll respond, adjust my approach, or worry about losing the opportunity.
D
I can show up with enormous confidence one day, then disappear, hesitate, or question myself the next.
Question 8: Imagine your income drops significantly next month. What's the most honest description of your response?
*
A
I may shut down, disconnect, or avoid thinking about it until I absolutely have to.
B
I feel fear, but I can separate what's happening financially from who I am and decide what to do next.
C
I feel myself spiraling into worry and immediately start trying to make something happen.
D
I may go into crisis mode, become intensely activated, solve the immediate problem, and then struggle to maintain that momentum.
