Best-selling author Ken Honda might not be famous in America yet. But in Japan, he has helped millions of people change their relationships with money for the better.

Some economists have projected that both the U.S. and parts of Europe could slip into a recession for a portion of 2023. A global recession, defined as a contraction in annual global per capita income, is more rare because China and emerging markets often grow faster than more developed economies. Essentially the world economy is considered to be in recession if economic growth falls behind population growth.

Found this video as I am practically putting my “mediocre gifts” together. I identified what was happening the last couple days. Love the perfect reflection. Having done all the things mentioned already and turned my life attitude around to appreciation and love and lack of fear about previous traumas and I’ve done the ancestral clearings too. I do feel so excited about all the probabilities and possibilities in my future. I’m 51 and now have no home of my own, no car, no 9-5 job, no hubby, but I now know I have these gifts:- “mediocre” healer, teacher, creator , dancer, singer, writer, artist, photographer... and a passion to help others not “hide” away from life. I’ve got the best friends who are supporting me greatly as I transit these days. And I feel the best I’ve yet felt in life as I script my own path . I’ve learnt to trust when I need the pennies or provisions, they come if I just allow it in. Building from scratch but now using my inner resources and gifts to do it right. “I love that man, I love this behaviour confirming find xx 🥰🙏🏻”

21:03 I grew up with a monk mentality. I had no connection, no want or need for money and material things. I didn't live in the past, nor did I live in the future. With this mentality. I was always in the service of others without expectations. I did not seek something in return. So, when I look at my work. It was really very impressive. I not once bragged about my achievements. Whatever business I worked at, I broke sales records and showed the company better ways. The one thing I failed to do. Want money to match on the level of my performance. What I also know. There is no company going to pay you for your level of performance. So, I tell people learn a skill, start at he bottom, work your way up, read every material about the company. In one year you can do this. Over two decades, I held over 40 jobs. I excelled where I was free to do so. Within months I knew everything about how to operate the business, to the point even better than the owner.

His idea of giving a gift worked once for me (the only time I did it and I did feel a bit awkward about it): on my first day at a job, I brought brownies. it was at a car dealership and those tend to employ lots of single men and men love home-cooked food. I had a LOT of fans at that job *instantly*. I felt it was a bit insincere and therefore fake of me to do that and yet it worked.

I grew up in a dysfunctional marriage in which my dad was an enterpreneur and very bad handling money and my mom was the housewife dependant on my dads money but who could stretch money and handle it very well. Due to his business, we sometimes struggled and sometimes thrived but both my parents gave us the gift of a good education despite being it even above their possibilities. My parents lost their home to the bank during the last financial crisis and we had to move to my grandmas home. I promised myself i wouldnt care about money, i would work hard and help others but i didnt respect money. I reslised, money easily came to me but i overspent it because i had no respect for it. When i was in my mid thirties i started respecting money because i looked back at how hard i had worked and money was all gone. I have a six figure salary, imlive in the city of my dreams , Shanghai, and i managed to get a 30% promotion during this epidemic. I feel life has protected me and given me money despite the fact that i didnt focus on it, i just focused on becoming obessive to learn more skills and truly wanting to help others. Money didnt bring me joy per se, but by respecting it and appreciating it more now i am in the position to manage it better and i can give much more to the people i love.

34:15 Tom you sparked something inside me. Just now, this is fresh. I didn't look at that way. When I recall the first 40 years of my life. I can see many more experiences that should have brought me down, depressed me. So, what prevented me from becoming depressed? Everything I did I got something out of it. Everything, at home, at play, buying groceries, shopping, at work, whatever I did I got fulfillment out of it. That outweighed an employer treating me badly, that outweighed the arguments my wife and I had. Another thing, when you turn on the tv, rent a movie, watch the news, read a newspaper, engage in negative conversations. You are loading your brain up with material that going to affect you negatively. So, I never watched tv, no music, no reading books-except work related material, no ill mannered conversations about someone. I was at peace. I did not live in the past. I can tell you stories about how badly was treated, taken advantage of. Millions of dollars flowed through my hands in to another's bank account.

This was such an incredible and insight conversation. Thank you for making this one happen. I live in Tokyo and have lots of friends who are friends with Ken and yet, I've never listened to him speak before until podcast conversation.

[@annaalm18]

Mr. Honda seems to be a very kind and friendly person, not like other "money gurus". I highly appreciate his words and the message he is telling. Very very deep going, I love it. Thank you, Mr. Honda!

[@korikori116]

As a Chinese who practice Buddhism, I really relate to Kens philosophy and approach towards life and money. Thank you for the interview

[@Kitanaii]

Thank you so much, Ken! I was always struggling with finding my 'passion', looking at people who sing or create art or others, who have a tengible passion. But the things I'm good at weren't like that, so I didn't know what to do and thought I first need to find my gift. But then I remembered that friends would tell me what they think i'm good at, and I started to listen, instead of ignoring those clues, because I'm busy looking for a artsy passion or waiting for it to fall into my lap ✨

This guy is awesome. He speaks truth. Thank you so much for letting us know about him and his philosophy. Wonderful interview.

Ken Honda is awesome. The Zen way of releasing and allowing rather than the western world concept of grinding really resonates with me. If we are in alignment in our life, I feel it should be fun and joyful and not feel like a grind. Great interview!

[@ponkhamvongsa2714]

Tom, it has taken me a while, but after 50 episodes, I realize that you ask great questions, providing context and drawing Fri your known experiences as Knowlege that you gained from your many interviews. Appreciate the approach you take to help make things more relevant to your audience and you do it authentically.

Bill, I really appreciate all all these videos! I wish that when I was younger and working with you that, I had the maturity and foresight to know that I was welcomed into a circle of amazing thinkers with intense passion for success. All I can do now is take it everything step by step, and continue to learn. Anyway, It's really wonderful to see how far you've gone!

This is such a beautiful philosophy. Just what I needed to hear to help me put down the fearful scarcity mindset for good and step into a relationship with money that is full of gratitude and appreciation. 🙏

In the end, same as always the ability to reframe events that seem bad into something good is what life is all about.

I really like the concept too .... Positive perception & vibrations x x

[@justme-ld9xz]

I actually would like for him to get into the spiritual aspects of it, I know Tom doesn't really like it, but when you're this deep into self development I feel like it's part of the equation. I would appreciate it if Tom would be a little more openminded in this regard, and let the full message of the speaker come through.

[@priceandpride]

That’s a big turn off for a lot of people

I would love for him to go with not the spiritual aspects more... however I don’t feel this is the wrong platform x

He's so sweet! So genuine sweet! I like how in the end he just dreams about sweeping and chatting with people.

[@kingsmustrise]

Ken figured out that most of the things you got scolded for doing A LOT as a kid was actually your special gift. You were inspired to use your time into something you loved doing, but at some stage people labeled it as an addiction (usually has negative connotation)
