While working with professionals looking to make a change in their careers, or simply take better control over their lives, she noticed a recurring weak spot among otherwise intelligent, capable people: money.
"For some reason or another," she explains, "these clients aren't as mindful or deliberate as they'd like to be. Some are business owners, lawyers, or in education."

If these core beliefs are self-sabotaging, you can imagine how that chain progresses.
Here, Walls shares some of the more damaging financial thought patterns she's observed in her practice, among the most impressive professionals.
