WHO AM I…

I am Amanda Strojny and I coach Corporate professionals, Yoga Professionals and small business owners to grow financially, both personally and in their business and career, while staying rooted in their unique gifts.  I am a dedicated teacher of the rules of money and provide my clients a clear and concise path to monetizing their skills. When working with clients we use the yogic principles to establish financial balance.

WHEN IT ALL STARTED….

My relationship with money formed at an early age.  I grew up with a mother who created her own success and wealth by working hard, educating herself and having a clear understanding of the rules of money.  The first lesson I learned from my mother has always been the most important: Do not spend money you do not have.

Being raised by a strong confident woman allowed me to witness the greatest lesson of my life: placing an accurate value on ourselves and our worth can lead to financial abundance.

Entering the corporate world eight years ago with a background in education and teaching, I quickly realized that I would have to prove myself.

WHAT I LEARNED…

From the beginning of my career, I was eager to move ahead and to make more money.  Without really understanding how to play this game, I quickly realized I needed to get clear on the expectations required to get to the next step.  I did exactly that by understanding the expectations of the role I was in and honing the skills required to achieve mastery and be considered for a promotion. I was asking and open to feedback, keeping an open channel of communication with all of my bosses and colleagues.  I was crystal clear on expectations, and made sure to go above and beyond what was expected of me. I was able to communicate clearly, and document my progress and achievements. This led me to the importance of building your personal brand. I sharpened specific skills and took a objective inventory of my strengths and weaknesses.

 I was continually evaluating my role to determine what I enjoyed and what I did not enjoy, so I could articulate my objectives to everyone around me. I was clear about stepping forward and asking for what I wanted and what I knew I was worth and then was able to get exactly that. Throughout the course of my corporate career I relied on the rules of money to keep me grounded and focused.

WAKE UP CALL…

After eight years in Financial Services, I realized my work was not in alignment with my soul's purpose.   I wanted more than a 9-5 job where I would wait for the weekends to feel awake and alive. I wanted to make a life rather than to just make a living, two very different things.   It is common and safe to look for something else while you have your current job. I chose a different path and decided to leave without another job in my hand. I knew that leaving my job was a major risk and never felt 100% confident in my decision, there was always a small degree of doubt.  In the end I knew the decision to travel the world was the step I needed to break free. To move out of my head and dismantle the story I had created about how life had to be. The story that I had to work in a company so I would have benefits, retirement and a consistent paycheck. The story that made me believe if I continued to play it safe and secure I would never have to risk anything and I would be completely happy.

TRAVEL & RISK…

My travel and the risks I continued to take across the world, allowed me to develop patience for myself in all situations and to truly listen to people allowing me to feel the deep connection we all share. Most importantly it opened my heart to follow what brought me joy.  I made the connection that work could be creative, joyful and filled with passion and at the same time be financially rewarding. I learned that I could teach myself to create financial success once I owned my own value. It is the valuing of self that allowed me to follow my truth and travel.

And in traveling, I found alignment with my dharma. The alignment with my true inner life has led me to bring my passion and deep understanding of the Rules of Money to help others on their dharmic path into their own financial freedom.
