Aloha, have you ever wondered if your finances were controlling you?
In this episode, I talk about why you need to get control of
your finances, some of the ways in which to
do that and how you are affected by not having the
necessary control of money coming in and money
going out each month.
What women think about their finances:
-
It’s a humbug
-
they don’t like to manage it
-
they don’t like to think about it
-
deal with it
-
boring,
-
stresses them out
Your finances involves:
-
rent or mortgage
-
electric
-
water
-
cell phone
-
food
-
gas and more
You need to have a system in place:
-
need to write things down
-
get a notebook
-
take 15 minutes, write down all the bills you have
-
set up a system that works for you
-
set up bill paying to be deducted automatically from a checking account
Need to control what money you have:
-
have a strong desire to overcome and to get a system set up
-
if you need help, ask!
-
it’s good to have support
Women want freedom:
-
to do the things we want to do
-
women like to have control
Finances do control you if you don’t have a system set up and don’t have a flow
This topic is not interesting to talk about, that’s why having a system setup can help you
feel at ease and not stress out about paying bills, because sometimes you may not be
sure if there’s enough money to pay your bills.
What about you? Everything is connected:
-
take a good look at yourself, what do you see?
-
write down what’s going on in your life
-
how you’re feeling
-
be honest with yourself
To make sure you’re on track and to create a habit that will help you start controlling
things in the right way, you have to start somewhere.
Try this:
-
just take a few minutes everyday and write things down
-
take small steps
-
write down how much income is coming in each month
-
spend a few minutes everyday taking care of your finances
You can’t live without money:
-
everyday it takes money for us to live
-
everyday you’re spending money
It’s ok to talk about your finances, don’t be ashamed. That’s why
my business name is fashionable finance, the word ‘fashionable’ is
meant to be used in a way that refers to your finances as being OK
to talk about it.
My goal is for you to learn all the things you need to learn on the go
because we’re all busy.
