Episode 43: How to find long-lasting joy and make money living your purpose

In this week’s episode of the #MoneyMagic podcast, I chat to one of my clients - Reinier Smit, who is originally from the Netherlands and is currently based there, after living in South Africa for 10 years.

Reinier worked in South Africa and Europe as a Script Supervisor and a Director, his true passion is telling stories with images, which is how he ended up in the film industry.

In the podcast, he shares how he changed his career and started focusing on his own projects and making decisions based on his own instincts and wishes. He currently has several film projects in cinema and is working on others.

Reinier explains that he sees money as a tool to express your creativity, make your dreams real in the world, whilst also supporting others to do the same. 

He explains that this was not always the case - he used to have a negative relationship with money because he always saw the lack of money as a block to reaching his goals and he always made his decisions based on money. 

He always thought he needed to have a lot of money to make certain decisions and start creating and making movies, which held him up for a long time. So his bank account was great, but he was still being controlled by money and wasn’t living his best life.

Through the coaching, he realized it was not either/or - he could make money doing what he loves. He didn’t have to choose and he realized that the way you look at money, is the way you look at yourself.

We chat about the complexity of making money and having money in your bank account but not living a life of purpose. We also explore themes of surrender and finding joy in everyday things.

This is another jam-packed episode where Reinier takes us through his realisations about money, creativity, intuition and living in your purpose.
