Cheers to Your Prosperity

Most people won’t give this feedback.

But the way some of you use social media does a lot of harm to others.

I mean, A LOT!

It can also do a lot of harm to you and the business you have worked hard to build.

The twist is, many of you did not intend to cause harm to anyone. On the contrary, I know you intended to be of service to others!

In this episode I share and discuss:

And because I talk money in my universe, I discuss:

Finally, I share a simple solution to all of this: Just ask permission. It's the more prosperous thing to do.

I want remind all of you of this: Not everyone is in a healthy and safe space.

Consider that the next time you post something without someone else's permission.

As an FYI, I do get a little heated in this episode complete with some colorful language.

Your budget wants to be your biz bestie!

…rather, if it had its own personality, it would want to be your best friend, wing man/woman/person, security detail…

You know, the person, being, or thing that protects you from the bad and wants you to have good things coming into your life.

Examples of good things include:

If you like what you are reading so far, you’ll love listening to this episode because I discuss how this tool, called a budget, is actually for you, not against you.

I begin by ranting about why I dislike the question, “do you have a budget?”

I’m already going to answer…the question is super stuck up as sh*t and a bad question (yea, I wrote it and said it).

I also discuss is how your intentions and beliefs can create the experience you have with budgeting.

For example, if you believe the budget is too restrictive, then it will be too restrictive. However if you love budgeting, you’ll create a budget that has you falling further in love with budgeting.

I go on to explain why your budget might be too restrictive, time consuming, and all the negative things. Hint: It is based on someone else’s needs, beliefs, values, etc.

I also share the different types of budgets, which could be a better fit for your needs and lifestyle.

I share some tips to help you stay committed to your budget.

Finally, I explain why blowing your budget is not always a bad thing.

You need a FUN account.

That's right!

You need a bank account that has money that is ONLY to be used for fun.

That means an account where you can spend money on coffees, dinners, and anything else your amazing heart desires. 

No judgment. No shame. No guilt. ALL GOOD!

In this episode I share:

- Why you need a FUN account

- The benefits of having a FUN account

- How restricting yourself from FUN (aka being practical) can hurt you

- How to get started with funding your FUN account

- My personal experience with having a FUN account, including how it served me

The title of this episode is not a typo.

It really is HOW money mindset is making you broke.

Before you dismiss me as some disgruntled accountant seeking attention, please hear me out.

For starters, there are many who have taken money mindset courses, worked with money mindset coaches, and believe in manifesting money yet continue to struggle with money. I used to be one of them and perhaps you are in this position right now.

The reason for the continued struggle with money is this - what we have been taught about money mindset, including how to manifest money, ACTUALLY keeps us in that financial struggle or worse, cause us to be broke.

I affectionately refer to that position as ‘Woke Yet Broke’.

Money mindset (and manifestation), however, is meant to help you have money. In fact, money mindset and manifestation helped me climb out of my financial rock bottom…when I learned how to use them properly.

Which is why I just had to share this episode so that you too can learn how to use money mindset and manifestation to help you thrive, sustainably.

Here’s what else you’ll learn in this episode:

- Proof that money mindset is not really serving people as it should

- How exactly money mindset keeps you broke

- My personal journey with money mindset and manifestation (including how it kept me broke and how it helped me out of financial rock bottom)

- How to use money mindset to help you actually have money

Other resources:

I discussed this topic, as a guest, on the In My Non-Expert Opinion podcast, and trust me when I say, the episode is absolute fire. For additional insights on how money mindset and manifestation can keep you broke, please check out 'Is Money Mindset and Manifestation Making You Broke?'

You can have amazing credit, and have no money in the bank.

You can also have bad credit, and have plenty of money in the bank.

How is any of that possible?

That’s what I’m exploring in this episode where we talk about credit.

I begin by providing some background on what goes into one’s credit score.

This episode also highlights what is unfair about the credit score. Dropping a hint, have you ever wondered by paying for rent, utilities, groceries, all of which many pay in full and on time, are not considered in the credit score?

I then go on to explain why I had bad credit for most of my adult life.

Last but not least I get specific on how I was able to own luxury items and build my bank account despite having bad credit.

This episode is dedicated to those that feel shame for their credit situation. I hope you all can hear your story in mine and, therefore, be comforted by the fact that you are not alone. Most importantly, there is nothing to be ashamed of. Having bad credit does not mean you are irresponsible or a bad person. 

These two podcasts inspired this episode:

Popcorn Finance - The Credit Score is Overrated

Money Please - Is Bad Credit Really That Bad?

I also mentioned some resources for you to check out! I highly recommend these books as they have been an absolute game changer in my financial life:

For many of us, financial success means having money, right? 

Well, what if I told you revenue is not always a sign of financial success?

What if I also told you that profit also is not always a sign of financial success?

Cash is king, my friends.

...at least it is, in my experience.

I look to cash, as in REAL money, because money is a resource that serves you. 

This episode is about helping you shift your business (and life) from a cash leaking monster into a money making machine, which means you work smarter, not harder.

No more spending $2 just to earn $1.

In this episode I share 10 different ways to grow your bank balance with cash. Also included is a bonus, which makes it 11 options or ways to grow your bank balance without selling more.

I need to add some context to a statement I made in the episode, about the online world as it relates to money mindset and manifestation. I am not making fun of money mindset and manifestation. To do that would make me a hypocrite because I too am a money mindset personality and, while I do not lead with my spirituality, I walk the path of manifestation. What I do refer to, in the episode, are those that spread mindset and manifestation from a misinformed place because they do not yet understand what they are sharing. 

Keep listening to future episodes, and you will understand where I am coming from.

I’d love to help you achieve financial control!

Is your daily coffee really the reason for your financial struggles?

According to Suze Ormon, “You are peeing $1 million down the drain as you are drinking that coffee.”

Can I tell you how much I love that line?...and I whole-heartedly disagree with it.

I believe (and know) you can get rich (or at the very least have money) and still drink your coffees too.

In fact, by continuing to point the fingers at coffee we end up not addressing the real cause of the financial struggles.

In this episode I go deep into why the coffee blaming is problematic.

Dropping one hint, blaming coffee keeps us in scarcity, which then continues the financial issues.

I also share what I believe is the real reason many of us struggle with money.

Finally, I discuss a really easy and passive way for all of us to build wealth and we can continue drinking our daily coffees.

I do have to share this disclaimer: I am not your accountant and financial coach until you and I work together.
