About me.
Hi my name’s Tim Halloran and I created this website to help people shift their money mindset. I struggled with money worries for years and eventually found a group of mentors who helped me uncover the things that held me back.
They were things such as a poor self image, negative self talk and some unconscious thinking patterns. It seemed no matter how hard I tried at life, I always seemed to fail where money was concerned.
Hi and welcome to my about me page. I struggled with money for years working hundreds of jobs but never finding any joy in any of them. I was so disillusioned with working life, I trained to become a stuntman after having met a stuntman in my early 20’s. This took a considerable effort and it wasn’t until four years had passed that I joined the prestigious “British Stunt Register” in 2002. It wasn’t until 2 years later that I got my first stunt job – working on a film called Enduring Love.
I thought I had “made it” of course but went back to working as a taxi driver once the job had finished. The phone didn’t ring for a long time. I used my first stunt pay cheque to pay off debt I had accrued during my stunt training, and it was back to the old job – one that didn’t pay very much.
This pattern continued for many years but it wasn’t until I was in my 40’s that I started realising I needed to change things. I had some good runs in the stunt business, but always seemed to be lacking money, waiting for the phone to ring and doing other fill-in jobs to pay the rent. I joined an online business program, looking for other ways to earn a living.
This was to be another struggle. I persevered however, and eventually went on a retreat where I uncovered some inner truths about myself. One of which was my limitation around money. My old mantras sprang from my childhood, and I realised I had a few unhelpful ideas around my self image, money and work.
Shifting Old Beliefs
I started reading books such as Think and Grow Rich, the classic by Napoleon Hill and The Science Of Getting Rich by Wallace Wattles. I took a few courses on the topic too. One of them really stood out as useful when I was filling in questions about my thoughts on money. I had a penny drop moment. I realised I did indeed have some negative ideas surrounding money. In particular, I had a belief which was unhelpful when it came to working. I thought I had to suffer when it came to earning money. This led me to a number of jobs I didn’t enjoy.
In the stunt business, you would also get injured while working! It became very clear how I had created the situation I was in. I began to observe when I stated my beliefs and then slowly began to learn some useful mantras to shift my situation around. Old mantras, such as “life’s a struggle” which I had picked up were exchanged for new programs “money comes easily and frequently”.
I began to look for work I was excited by, rather than work I thought I “had to do”, to earn money.
