Money is an essential part of our lives, yet many of us have a complicated relationship with it. We may feel guilty about spending money, anxious about not having enough, or even ashamed of our financial situation. These feelings can stem from a lack of trust in money. Here's a guide to understanding your relationship with money and building trust in it:

Financial literacy

1. Identify Your Money Beliefs: Our beliefs about money are often shaped by our upbringing, culture, and experiences. Take some time to reflect on your beliefs about money. Do you believe that money is scarce? Do you believe that money is the root of all evil? Identifying your money beliefs can help you understand why you may have a complicated relationship with money.

2. Practice Gratitude: Gratitude is a powerful tool for building trust in money. Take some time each day to reflect on the things you're grateful for, including the money you have. Focus on the positive aspects of money, such as the opportunities it provides and the security it can bring.

3. Create a Budget: Creating a budget is essential for building trust in money. A budget can help you track your income and expenses and identify areas where you can cut back on spending. Use a budgeting app or spreadsheet to help you stay on track.

Financial Planning and Literacy

4. Set Financial Goals: Setting financial goals is another way to build trust in money. Identify specific goals, such as paying off debt, saving for a down payment on a home, or investing in your retirement. Having specific goals will help you stay motivated and focused on building wealth.

5. Seek Professional Help: If you're struggling with your relationship with money, consider seeking professional help. A financial advisor or therapist can help you identify the root causes of your money issues and develop strategies for building trust in money.

In conclusion, building trust in money is essential for achieving financial success and peace of mind. By identifying your money beliefs, practicing gratitude, creating a budget, setting financial goals, and seeking professional help, you can develop a healthy relationship with money and achieve financial independence. Remember, money is a tool that can help you achieve your goals and live the life you want. Trust in it, and it will serve you well.

Well hello there. I see I have piqued your interest enough to make you say who the heck is that Mandy lady…I have been an entrepreneur for just about as long as I have been an adult. I spent much of my time working in the accounting and tax industry and gained a wealth of knowledge and skills that have helped me truly manage the financial aspects of business and life. I get entrepreneur finance because I am an entrepreneur. I understand that a bad month in business usually means a bad month in personal finance also. Our income fluctuates, it is never guaranteed, and we hustle every damn day to earn our money. Which makes any sort of financial goal a little more difficult. I have been an entrepreneur with a wildly successful business but I was broke. I have been an entrepreneur who didn’t know how I was going to feed my kids at the end of the day, standing in line at the grocery store, praying the electric bill hadn’t cleared yet so I could buy groceries… because feeding my kids was more important than having lights on at night. I am an entrepreneur who knows the importance of budgeting and planning and saving and doing it all in a way that doesn’t make me want to run and hide or make me feel like I CAN’T do the things I want to. I geek out with spreadsheets and finance and numbers and money. I love sharing my geekiness in a way that allows you to ‘get it’ and how it will work for you. It isn’t one size fits all when you are an entrepreneur, so helping you find the way that works for you is my goal. So now that you know more about me, reach out and say hi!
