Your money struggles are not about money
They’re about your temperament - and nobody ever explained that to you.

The Guide
Most financial tools treat money as a math problem. It isn’t. It’s a wiring problem. The ByDesign Money guide reveals how your inborn temperament drives every financial decision you make — and why no budget has ever been able to reach it.
The Framework
Five Patterns. One Framework.
Most temperament systems work with four types. The Arno Profile System works with five developed by Dr. Richard Arno and Dr. Phyllis Arno through the National Christian Counseling Association. And the fifth is the one most likely to be living your financial story.
-
The Choleric
Money as evidence of competence
-
The Melancholy
The spreadsheet that never quite balances
-
The Phlegmatic
The ceiling built from the inside
-
The Sanguine
Money as the currency of belonging
-
The Supine
Giving from fear rather than abundance
