Ken Honda has been a revolutionary, inspirational voice in Japan on subjects ranging from personal development to entrepreneurship to prosperity. His bestseller “Happy Money” has surpassed the 8 million mark in sales and regularly sells out at seminars and events.

His success as a speaker started after his retirement at the age of 29. He had left his successful consulting and accounting business to spend time with his new child. His second, even more successful career, however, started almost by accident.

Ken Honda had taken his daughter to the park. While there, he saw a mother with a daughter similar in age to his child. The little girl was distraught. Her mother insisted on taking her home because she had to go to work.

The scene made such an impact on Ken Honda that he decided to do something about it. This was not only for that little girl’s mother but for everyone struggling to make ends meet. After returning home, he sat down and wrote an essay about everything he had learned about making money and prosperity. His essay was the start of his bestselling book. It also started him out on his career as a sought-after conference speaker.

According to Ken Honda, money is energy that can either be happy or unhappy. When you receive money and spend it wisely, it brings happiness. On the other hand, a fear of receiving and spending money disrupts the flow of positive energy. According to Ken, “Whatever happens, you can say thank you. Thank you are the two most powerful words that will help you to start to transform your relationship with money.”

Ken Honda feels that by adjusting how you view money you start to see it as a positive or negative flow based on your energy at the time you receive or spend it.

More recently, Ken Honda joined the #Givefluencer Network. The network redefines the meaning “influencer” by focusing on giving back to the community.

Speaking Topics

• Money EQ: Why do incredibly intelligent people often make terrible, destructive, life-altering decisions when it comes to money? In our society, we tend to believe that the more we increase our practical knowledge of how to make money (Money IQ), the better off we’ll be. Ken Honda believes there is so much more to it. The fact is that people of all levels of income can live rich and fulfilled lives, but scarcity mindset makes many of us believe otherwise. That is why Ken believes that emotional intelligence with money (Money EQ) is equally as important.

In this talk, Ken will share the benefits of increasing your Money EQ and present the basic principles: Receiving and accepting money well, Appreciating and enjoying money, Trusting in the flow of money, and Sharing money well.

• Is your money smiling? Happy money & unhappy money: Money can smile! Isn’t that odd? Ken Honda believes that money is energy, not a physical piece of paper or a metal coin that you collect in your pockets. Because money is energy, he says that it takes on the emotional charge of what you put into it.

In this talk, Ken describes the ways that we imbue money with positive and negative energy and how that affects the conscious and unconscious decisions we make with our money. Ask yourself, if money were a person, who would it be? A kind, gentle, welcomed friend? Or, a cold, mean, monster who is sitting on your chest and causing anxiety?

Ken will talk about how we bring these feelings into our relationship with money and what we can do to transform our relationship with money so that we are continually inviting in a trusted friend.

• Doing what you LOVE: Finding your passion and hidden talents: One of the biggest driving factors in our relationship with money is in how we earn it. When we spend our time doing work we don’t like, we tend to resent the money we are paid, oftentimes unconsciously perpetuating self-destructive behaviors such as doing our best to get rid of our money as soon as we receive it. However, finding your passion or unique talents and gifts is not always easy and we often struggle to visualize how we can utilize our gifts to create a prosperous life.

In this talk, Ken will talk about how you can discover your passions and gifts, and how this can bless not only your life but the lives of all of those around you once you start sharing them effectively through doing the work that you love.

• Giving as a way of life: Be a #Givefluencer: Ken’s biggest goal in his life is to impact the world by sharing the importance of generosity. We all know that giving feels good. What you may not be aware of is when feelings of scarcity prevent you from being generous and how that can negatively affect you, keeping you trapped in negative cycles that are likely blinding you to and preventing you from realizing your potential.

In this talk, Ken will talk about how scarcity and wealth affect our thinking around generosity and how acts of giving from the small and seemingly mundane to the large gestures change lives and have a major impact. Giving can be done regardless of your finances and the benefits of giving far outweigh the benefits of not. Learn how having a mindset of giving and generosity as a life compass can positively impact you as much as the hearts and lives of the people you touch.

• Your money personality type: The first step to healing your unhappy money beliefs: Choosing to live a life with positive and healthy money beliefs begins with understanding how you are relating with your money right now. Your money personality type reflects the combined experiences and influences you’ve grown up with, from your parents and siblings to your friends and peers. When you understand the positives and negatives of your unique pattern you can then intentionally choose to replace the beliefs that are no longer serving you with beliefs that support your goals and a prosperous life.

In this talk, Ken breaks down the 3 major money personality types that we all fall into and the 7 specific money personality types that reflect our money habits and values.
