Step 6 - Affirmations

Affirmations or mantras are phrases that when said repeatedly will help change the way you think. As you go through your day, listen to what your thoughts say about money. If you are having money problems then chances are that your thoughts are full of negative comments about not having enough of it.

Affirmations will help you change your thoughts so that they are more positive.

Examples of affirmations are:
I am good at managing money.
I am open to receiving money from all sources.
I have plenty of money.
I deserve to have money in my life.

Another helpful way to help change your attitude towards money is to have affirmations written on pieces of paper and posted around your house. So that whenever you look at the pieces of paper you have positive words to say.

At the end of the day, the affirmation has to be believable for you!!

Step 7 – Be inspired and motivated by the success of others

What are your thoughts when you hear that someone is successful and is wealthy? Do you get jealous? When you get jealous, you are blocking any money from coming to you, as you think that the other person has money, so there is not enough money for you. The reality is that there is enough money for everyone, including you. So the next time you hear that someone is wealthy, use it as inspiration for yourself.

We are all able to have plenty of money in our lives and we should use successful people as inspirations for ourselves to succeed. So next time you hear how Olivia Johnson bought a house . . . think . . . If she can do it then I can too!

Step 7 – Everyone can be smart with money
 
My grandmother told my mum, who told me, that a woman should always be financially independent. She should have her own job so that she can be independent and earn her own income. My grandmother was born before World War 2, but she had the foresight even then to realise the importance of financial independence. My mother passed on this advice to me and my sisters.

I studied accounting at university; however those studies did not provide me with skills to manage my own money. I know accountants who live in debt because they are unable to manage their personal finances.

My financial ability was gained through reading lots of books and asking lots of questions. You never stop learning and I continue to read and learn every day.

We are not all born with an instant financial ability. Men do not know more than women, or vice versa.
​
We are all equal when it comes to the ability of being financially savvy. The key is to believe that you can understand money.

My next blog will give you some suggestions on how to educate yourself about money.

Until next time, have a great week and believe in yourself.

The first five steps towards understanding money.

​The first 5 steps towards having a better understanding of money are as follows:

Step 1 – Finding your motivation

My reason for being financially independent is so that I can make the decisions in my life and look after my children. Everyone is very different and you need to find your own reason for wanting to understand money.

Step 2 – Finding the time
​

When you find your own reason about why you want to be financially independent, then that reason will motivate you to find the time to keep learning about money and not give up.

Step 3 - Setting Goals

Make the goals specific and give them a deadline that is relevant to you. Think about what you want or where you want to be in the future. The goal has to make you feel good when you achieve it.

Step 4—Love what you do

In order for you to earn money you need to love what you do. This may be a job or your own business. You have to find what is right for you.

Step 5—Mind set

This might sound strange but changing your mind set is an essential part of your financial education. You need to change the way you think about money. If you do not have the right mind set, you will not be able to learn about finances and have money in your life. One of the reasons that many people who win lottery lose all their money within a few years is because they do not have the right financial mind set.
You have to believe that you deserve to be financially independent and that you deserve to have money in your lifestyle.

Next week I will continue with the discussion on money. 

Have a great day and remember to always believe in yourself.
