Do you feel like you’re stuck in a never-ending cycle of struggling to make ends meet? Are you ready to unlock the power of money to create the life you want? Well my friend, it’s time to take control of your money and create a budget that works for you. I don’t get tired of saying this because I remember that it took me a long time to get on board with budgeting. That’s why, you need to realize that a budget is supposed to work for you, not the other way around. When you realize you are in control, it will change the game!
Unlock the Power of Money
I want to give you all the information about budgets, budgeting and creating plans for your money so that when that moment finally strikes… you’ll be unstoppable! I believe in it and YOU that much! You’d think that there would be a time when I’d get sick and tired of writing about the same old thin’! Nope, because I also am a Life Coach and I know that sometimes all you have to do is to hear the same information with different words for it to click. So you can bet I’m going to say it in as many different ways as I possibly can so that you get the message.
Now, that that’s out of the way, let’s talk about creating goals while sticking to a budget. Actually sticking to a budget isn’t even the right term! Because that budget is what’s going to take you from where you are to where you want to be. I get a lot of grief for saying “money matters”. But I truly believe it does and I’m living proof of it. Having said that, I also know that how much money each person feels like they need, is completely different.
Today we are taking the first step towards financial freedom. Whether you’ve started your budget or not, today we are going to think about – POSSIBILITY. What is possible? Have you ever been in a situation where you thought that was it, not necessarily to do with money, and then you got out of it stronger? That my friend is your evidence that you got what it takes to create, make or do anything you want.
Create the Life You Want by Unlocking the Power of Money
“Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t… you’re right” – Henry Ford
So, which one are you? I bet you already found evidence that you can… but you have to decide for yourself and truly believe in yourself. I do! And I’m giving you a road map to help you get there, no matter where you are right now.
So now, that that’s out of the way, let’s talk MONEY and CREATE a PLAN for your financial goals, dare I say unlock the power of money to create the life you want?! Let’s do this:
what is the one thing you want to do, make or create in your life?
Don’t think about obstacles just yet, we’ll get to them! Just think about what you really want.
Is your WHY meaningful enough?
I hear people going on about creating a big why. Well, I have a lot of big whys but the truth is it never really worked for me. I need a meaningful one. I need my whys to be relatable to me. When I think of a big why, I get overwhelmed and give up way too soon on my goals. So, why do you want that thing?
Lets reverse engineer
Imagine you have 3 years to make it happen. Write down the main steps you need to take starting in 3 years time backwards until today. I’ve created a Roadmap that will help you reverse engineer your goals and plan the steps to achieve it. To get it, all you have to do is subscribe to the newsletter, it will be featured in this month’s issue!
Save the date
What you focus on grows. I know that setting the intention is awesome! Congratulations! But, if you set it and forget it, chances are it will take you a long time to achieve that goal. (You might even forget it if you are a scatter brain like me…) So, make a date with yourself every week to go over your plans, your roadmap, or however you decided to track your progress. Yes, what’s tracked gets improved! Hey, I didn’t make the rules, it is what it is! Just like I’m an advocate for you to have a date with yourself when it comes to your weekly financial reset. I also believe you should set yourself up for success when it comes to goal setting. Light the candle, drink the coffee/tea/wine/champagne, sit comfortably, put music on, whatever fancies you. But don’t skip this step, I call it self-care. Just saying…
The best next step
Now, that you have it all figured out what’s the one thing you can do today that will lead you to your goal? It can be as simple as, being grateful for where you are right now and knowing it’s temporary until you move forward. It can also be creating that budget financial plan you have been putting off! Sorry, I had to go there!!!! To unlock the power of money you have to be positive about your life right now, even though you think you’ll never get to where you want to go.
It’s your turn
You probably started this article hoping for some magic formula created by AI to get you to that end goal fast and as painless as possible. There are just some things that can’t be “done for you”. We talk about this very thing on the Bootcamp because it’s that important! I’m glad you are here and I want to tell you once again, you are the one who can unlock the power of money to create the life you want! Only you! No one else can do that for you! No one is coming (Mel Robbins is the best, right?!). The soon you realize that, the soon you’ll take matters into your own hands and the soon you’ll start creating that reality for yourself! I’m here cheering you on! I know you got it in you, I just hope you know that too!
