I do want to chat today about planning in advance and getting things organised, to avoid the panic and stress that kicks in when you suddenly realise that you’ve got an impending deadline. Especially when it comes to your business and making the money you REALLY want next year!
Permission To ENJOY Your Wealth This Christmas!
Is this Christmas turning out how you hoped it would be? Have you got the money to buy the things that you thought about last year when you had that vision of your business and your wealth increasing – the luxury concept of being able to buy ‘nice’ things for your friends and family, or spending more on food and luxuries over the holidays?
Get Ready…How To Recession-Proof Your Business!
But the truth is that a recession may or may not happen. And ultimately, as a business owner, you are in a unique position to decide whether or not to participate in a recession, by recession-proofing your business. Making sure that YOU are spotting the opportunities that ARE there and tweaking your business where you need to, so you’re offering what people want, at a price they are prepared to pay.
How To Get Mortgage Ready (+ Never Miss Out On Your Dream Home!)
So how do you make sure you’ve got all your financial ducks in a row, so the dream house doesn’t slip through your fingers? What do you need to get sorted? And at what point should you start?
Inheritance Tax. How To Prevent Your Loved Ones Getting A MASSIVE Bill!
Let’s talk about Inheritance Tax…the ticking time bomb, caused by your own success!
How To Get Paid From Your Business, Every Single Month (Whatever Your Sales!)
In business, it’s easy to see that your turnover goes up and down. You make more sales one month than the next – especially if your business includes online launches every couple of months or each quarter. And so lots of people think “well, I can’t earn the same amount of money each month, because the income in my business doesn’t look the same each month”.
The end of the year…still not sorted out your money stuff? Try this!
The problem is that when it comes to your financial stuff, not getting it done does come at a cost, because you don’t feel relaxed about money. You’ve always got that little niggly stress in the back of your mind, that you really should get around to sorting out your Will or pension or life insurance or ISA (or whatever else is on your mental must-get-it-done list).
Investment Strategy – what the EXPERTS have WRONG about ‘cheap index trackers’
The great thing about the internet is that it brings information and education to us in a way that those of us that used to have to read books and go to a library could never predict.
Should You Tell Your Kids How Much You Earn?
Why don’t we tell our kids how much money we earn?
It’s one of those things that it’s just not done, is it? Because talking about money is something that we don’t do.
Certainly that’s the way it always was here in the UK, anyway – where talking about money was (and still often is) seen as vulgar or gauche or rude, and can feel like a pretty awkward conversation to have.
How To KNOW When You Can Afford To Reinvest In Your Business (+ Grow Your Team!)
When you start in your business, it’s often just you sitting at your kitchen table and doing everything yourself.
Over time, maybe you bring in some outsourcers to help – a virtual assistant who you pay by the hour; an accountant; someone to help with your social media or copywriting or tech.
But when you get to the stage where your business is secure – when you’ve got those higher-level clients and the sales are rolling in – the time comes where you need to invest in more people to help you, in a bigger way.
Wish You Could Afford To Take Proper Time Off This Summer? Here’s How!
The sun is shining. You’re sitting in the garden, feeling the warmth on your skin, enjoying your coffee (or gin!) or maybe an ice cream while the kids play around you.
But does it feel like you’re squeezing it in?
The secret to getting wealthy? Taking ACTION (unlike most people!)
If you’ve ever decided to walk away from part of your business too – that you know is super valuable for your clients and generates positive cashflow for you – you’ll know how tough a decision that can be!
Taking REAL Control Of Your Finances (At Last!)
I am choosing to opt out of all the financial doom-mongering – the relentless narrative in the media about prices rises and inflation and the middle being squeezed – and instead, choose to focus on the positives. And on what I can do to take control and be in the strongest financial position possible, in my own life and business.
Opting Out of the Financial Doom-Mongering(+ Living Your Dreams!)
Is there actually light at the end of the tunnel?
Now we’re approaching what feels like the end of COVID (although by the time you drop in monkeypox and all sorts of other stuff that seems to be happening, I guess we never quite know!).
But it’s definitely time to start thinking about not just surviving and getting by, but actually looking at planning for the things that we really WANT to do and have in our life.
Are You On Top Of Your 2022 Money Goals? Here’s How To Make Them Happen!
If you’re someone who’s quite spontaneous – which let’s be honest, I think lots of us entrepreneurial and creative types are – setting ourselves rigid targets and making financial plans can feel slightly restrictive. But having something to at least aim for is going to show that you’re on track. Because otherwise, how do you know that your business is moving in the right direction and heading towards where you really want to be?
Are you STILL taking miniature toiletries home from your hotel stays?
There are some really good reasons why those little scented marvels end up in your luggage, but also a couple which may be un-consciously scuppering your wealth journey… so let me tell you how to work out which route you’re on.
YOU can set your kids up as millionaires for less than the price of 2 weeks in Mexico!
The thing about growing your wealth is that you need to have TIME for your money to grow. (Those flash in the pan get rich quick schemes are best avoided!) And of course, you can invest a pot of money for your own future dreams too… or have more than one pot, each with a different objective.
Ever wish you were size 8 with £1million in the bank?!
Health and wealth are so very similar (which is why I often compare them in my blogs and posts!).
