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!).
George Clooney and a Jar Of Chocolate Spread…
George Clooney and a jar of chocolate spread…
Just me?!
Well – do keep reading. Because today, I want to talk about why this is actually relevant to YOUR life, YOUR dreams and YOUR big goals!
Where Your Focus Goes, Your Money Grows…Time To Get INTENTIONAL!
We’re talking today about giving each £ a purpose and using your money intentionally. So you can achieve the things you want in your life, like saving for the future or planning for some big dream!
Why I Wrote The Book On Money
(+ Why You NEED To Read It!)
There are tons of finance books out there. Big ones; small ones and everything in between.
I personally know at least 3 other Financial Advisers who’ve got published works to their name.
So why did I write a book? What was the point?
What Money Stuff Have YOU Been Putting Off? {It’s time to get it DONE!}
How many things do we put off? Because we know they’re important…but they just never seem to feel urgent?
Take last month, for example. At the time of writing this, a couple of weeks ago it was tax return time (dreaded in the minds of so many!).
How many people do you know who decided to submit their tax return on the January 31st? Who left doing anything about it until the very last minute?
#3 Ways to Build Wealth in 2022!
What I’m talking about are your goals for this year. The things you REALLY want to achieve.
They might be business goals; they might be personal goals or most likely, a combination of both.
But as business owners and entrepreneurs, we all need to have a clear idea of where we’re heading. After all, you wouldn’t get on a bus that didn’t have the destination printed on the front of it.
Making more BUT spending more too? You need a PLAN!
When your business starts making money, most people (understandably) go through a phase of splashing the cash. A new phone; upgrading your laptop; investing in a better webcam or microphone for your videos; subscriptions for more tech or the latest software that pings up in your feed and promises to make your life easier.
If your family don’t ‘get’ what you do…READ THIS!
It’s Christmas…which means it’s time to face the family!
Most of us have family we don’t see that often (especially over the last couple of years).
Every year, you sit there trying to make polite conversation with these people you grew up with. You love them. You care about them.
But what if you feel like you have nothing in common anymore?!
Are you ending this year where you REALLY want to be?
Did you want a Waitrose Christmas this year?
Maybe you picked up their glossy festive brochure (that seems to appear in store earlier and earlier!). Or maybe you’d love all the pre-prepared trimmings or veggie centrepiece or fancy deserts from their adverts.
But somehow, you’re still ending up doing your Christmas food shopping at Tesco?
Wherever you shop, this is REALLY about whether you’re ending 2021 where you wanted to be.
