If you’re using money to the detriment of your situation, it’s doing more harm than good…no matter how exciting it feels in the moment.
While I truly believe there’s an infinite supply of money, you have to put yourself in a position for money to make its way to you.
It starts with making your current income or money work better for you.
When you do right by your money, your money does right by you.
Even if you’re unhappy with what you’re currently making, you can still do the right things with your money.
In this episode, I’m sharing 6 ways to make your money work better for you.
Start implementing these steps as soon as you can, and you’ll see the ripple effect in your financial situation!
Money is a tool. A resource. An engine we can use to obtain what we want or say no to things we don’t want. It gives us options – but only when we make money work better for ourselves.
Some ways you can make money work better for you that I cover in the episode include controlling your spending, paying yourself first and practicing gratitude for your money.
There needs to be some accountability on your part when making the most of your money. Controlling your spending is where your accountability matters!
One of the best ways to control your spending is to identify what causes you to spend or overspend in the first place. Know what triggers or impulses drive you to swipe your card.
Each of the ways to make money work better for you are things you can implement immediately.
I’m not saying it will be easy, or changes will happen overnight, but you can decide to do things differently right now and take action!
