Happy Money Book
Money is just a symbol. Your money is a reflection of your beliefs about money.
Happy money: is money that can be used for good, is abundant, and can be given and received freely.
Unhappy money: is when you have negative mindsets and false beliefs about money. You believe that it is evil, that it creates drama, and that there isn’t enough of it.
It is the intelligence quotient. It is focused on financial intelligence. You obtain it when you learn about investing, taxing law, and general monetary knowledge.
This is the emotional quotient. It is the emotional intelligence required to deal with your reactions toward money.
You need to have a healthy Money IQ and a healthy Money EQ.
By being kind, generous, and grateful, you will be attract more happiness and prosperity—as well as truly believing that you have enough. Being confident in yourself and your abilities also helps you trust more in the flow of money and its abundance.
It is a metaphor that Ken uses to refer to the “containers” we each have inside of us. For example, there is a container for money, abundance, happiness, relationships, work, and many other things.
To have a money container is to know the limit where you find the most happiness. The goal of your container is to feel that you have enough, that you are grateful for everything you have, and you feel you can give some away.
If the container is half-full, we tend to feel unsatisfied, but if the amount that is flowing in is more than our container can handle, it will overflow, and we accept only as much as we think we deserve. Most of us are brainwashed into always wanting more and that’s how we lose our peace of mind.
Enjoy it! Even if at times it can feel overwhelming, have fun and enjoy it. It’s a clear sign that you’re doing what you are supposed to be doing—which is mainly serving people and making them happy. You can start thinking about investing your money for your future, or buy new equipment, learn new things, and find ways to continue to give back.
Even though this can feel like one of the most stressful and terrifying times where you can’t seem to get ahead, it’s important to remember that this situation is temporary. Remind yourself that more income isn’t necessarily the answer, rather use this time period for self-reflection and growth.
Be honest with yourself about what you need to do in order to increase the flow of money into your life: starting with being grateful for what you currently have. Then focus on all the experiences that make you feel happy, enthusiastic, and positive.
In this situation you have choices. You can decide to use the brakes and slow down your growth which will lead to a quieter and more peaceful life. Or you can decide to push the gas and accelerate which means it will be more risky but more fun at the same time. You can take your career and life to the next level.
People in this stage typically reflect a lack of action or initiative. They tend to feel tired and uninterested all the time. So it’s a great time to start something in your life. The more you do, the more your income and expenses will increase—as well as your human experiences.

True Wealth Mastery Program
A transformational 90-day cohort program by Ken Honda, designed to teach students to heal deep-rooted money traumas, master the energy of wealth, and create the foundation for lasting abundance.
True Wealth Mastery is a level-up from the Money EQ course. Money EQ consists of 3 parts that focus on creating a happy relationship with money:
1. A Path to Happy Money
2. Healing Money Wounds
3. Creating a new life with Happy Money
True Wealth Mastery goes beyond that to teach students about other essential aspects of a wealthy life – such as growing assets, harnessing intuition, manifesting synchronicities, uncovering your true ikigai, and one extra group session on “how to release stubborn generational money blocks” and more.
If you want to move forward from the Money EQ fundamentals to start creating a truly rich life on their terms, then this program is for you.
In this 12-week program, each week provides students with paradigm-shifting lessons, clear steps, exercises, meditations, and ongoing support to ensure they can integrate the concepts into their daily routines. As you navigate the course, some modules will include homework assignments. Ken has designed this curriculum with a focus on integrative learning and growth. That is why a new training module will unlock daily at the beginning of every week.
