I can work and make more money
My house is my retirement
I'll retire on social security and my 401k
I'm not good with money
My spouse handles the money
I don't make enough to save
I'm already in debt

Abundance vs. Scarcity Mindset
Start thinking about money the way rich people think about money (they already have an abundant mindset). Believe it or not, even people with a lot of money can feel overwhelmed and helpless, but simply shifting your perspective opens new strategies you didn’t even know existed. Recognize your own limiting beliefs and behaviors and discover new ways to leverage what you have and tap into the boundless opportunities that are always being created.
Goal Setting Basics
Did you know that you are eight times more likely to achieve financial success if you have a plan? First step is to establish a clear vision of the future. You've got to know what you really want, so we'll travel ahead 30 years to see exactly what it could be, then we'll work backwards to create an Abundance Blueprint to make that future real - starting from today.
Once in place, the plan starts to control your decisions about money. Instead of procrastinating or feeling overwhelmed, you'll have clear goals that drive precise actions and positive financial habits.
"The best path to wealth for the
average family is saving."
~ Warren Buffet
Get Out of "Present-Moment" Thinking
It would seem obvious: If you don't save today, you'll have nothing waiting for you in the future. You'll always be broke. Even so, most people can't find one dollar to set aside every month. They are trapped in their "present-moment" mindset of stress, worry and lack. But others have a possibility mindset, "Heck yeah! I'm going to do whatever it takes to save as much as I can every month."
We'll help you design your own "set it and forget it" saving habit that keeps your financial goals in clear focus, drawing them closer like a magnet.
Get On the Same Page
It’s common for couples and business partners to avoid talking about money altogether, hoping things will sort themselves out, even though financial worries are a common source of stress.
Creating an Abundance Blueprint (for your family or your business) opens new lines of communication, so you can get on the same page with a super-simple money strategy, develop a realistic budget, and a savings/investment plan that gets you working together toward your future.
Money doesn't manage itself, so if you don't start actively managing your finances now, then the general inertia of your bad money habits will push you into deeper trouble. Nobody is going to wave a magic wand and make your financial life better. It's your money, it's your life, it's your future, and it's your responsibility. We're your friends, but at the end of the day - you've got to take control - sooner rather than later.
The good news is that with a simple mindset shift (changing the way you think about money) you can become financially self-reliant which means, starting now - you're going to take responsibility for all aspects of your money - the good, the bad, the complicated - it's all yours. Don't feel overwhelmed, we all have to do it. Take a deep breath and start owning the process.
Maybe this all seems hard, and you think you can't do it, but once you start working on your blueprint - you'll see it's actually pretty easy to get control of your money.
