Sheila Glazov's Brain Buzz

Hurrah for Spring! Humans, animals and plants are waking from their unique forms of hibernation. The birds singing, trees, gardens and lawn are turning green, morning walks are outside instead of on the treadmill, closets and cupboards are getting organized and cleaned, family holidays were enjoyed, baseball season has begun, and April showers have brought bouquets of fragrant flowers!

Dive into Spring and...

What's New?
Lately, when people ask me, "How are you?" I reply, "I'm rollerblading at high speed." Then I explain, it's a metaphor for my "Blue Brain" idea generation about the exciting new projects I plan on sharing with you in the near future.

I am grateful and delighted that I continue to be blessed with opportunities to design and present WCIYB workshops (IRMS), give national radio and BlogTalk (WPRO) interviews and write magazine (TWIST) and online articles (jojasell).

How to handle your finance$ Brain Color Clues

How individuals handle financial issues is often the number one reason for the success or failure of their personal and business relationships. How each Brain Color manages their finances can determine compatibility or conflict. In order to talk about your attitude toward money, you need to understand how your Brain Color influences your financial behavior.

"Yellow Brainers" save their money. They consistently make deposits in a savings account and budget how much they are going to spend on their financial needs or desires. Orange Brainers think Yellow Brainers are nuts for not spending their money while they can enjoy it.

"Blue Brainers" share their money. They do not give a second thought to their finances. People, not pennies, are more important to them. They will hire or ask a Green Brainer to help them with their finances. They do not think about how much they are spending, just how much they enjoy buying something for a friend or loved one.

"Green Brainers" develop a system for their money. They enjoy spreadsheets and accounting for all their expenditures. They become frustrated with the Blue Brainers when they have to explain their accounting practices, what a budget is, and why they need one.

"Orange Brainers" are spenders. They love to splurge, not a save. Their attitude drives Yellow Brainers crazy. The Yellow Brainers often irritate the Orange Brainers because they want to limit their spending and teach them how to be financially responsible.

Green Brainers and Yellow Brainers appreciate each other's financial attitude toward budgeting and saving money. Blue Brainers and Orange Brainers understand each other's financial attitude toward enjoying and spending their money.
