1) How To Spend Your Money
Make a list of your expenses:
Rent/Mortgage
Gas/Heating
Water Bill
Internet/Wifi
Mobile Phone
Council Tax
Electricity
Car Insurance
Petrol/Gas
Spotlight/Casting Network/IMDB
Spotify/Apple Music
Netflix/Amazon Prime/Now TV
Wix/SquareSpace
HOJ Membership
Equity
Travel/Public Transportation
Groceries/Food
Training/Gym/Dance Classes
Beauty/Personal Upkeep
Charitable Donations
Automated Savings
Now total that figure.
One of the most essential things to have in your tool kit when developing a stronger relationship with money is to know what your outgoings are every single month.
The people that don’t have as strong a relationship with money as they would like tend to be those people that are too afraid to know what that number is. We want to get rid of the fear behind knowing the total of what you spend per month is.
Prioritize three things that you know you will always spend your money on:
Christie’s examples:
TRAINING
FOOD
TRAVEL
Now write three things you are willing to sacrifice:
Christie’s examples:
CLOTHES
ALCOHOL & DINING OUT
ELECTRONICS
Our favourite financial guru, Ramit Sethi and his book “I Will Teach You To Be Rich” states that a “rich life exists outside the spreadsheet". If you make a list of every single thing you spend your money on, you are not living in financial freedom. By knowing what you are prioritising and willing to sacrifice you will have a better relationship with how you are spending your money.
2) How To Save Your Money
PAY OFF YOUR CREDIT CARD. Clear your debts.
Take the monthly expenses you have an x 12 that number. Whatever the number is, is your next savings goal. That lump sum of money becomes your 12 month Emergency Fund.
The next step is an ISA account. Instant Saver Access (tax free savings account). You can have multiple accounts but the total combination of those accounts must total under £20,000 otherwise you will be taxed. Every week a direct debit can be set up from your current account and sent to those ISA’s.
Examples of ISA’s…
Cash ISA
Lifetime ISA
Stocks & Bonds ISA
The biggest hack to saving money is AUTOMATING your saving. Treat it like a bill.
3) How To Make Money
The 7 Streams Of Income:
1. Earned Income | Time For Money
2. Profit | Buying & Selling
3. Rental Income | Property & Leasing
4. Interest | ISA Interest & Investments
5. Dividends | Stocks, Shares & Bonds
6. Capital Gain | Assets Increasing In Value
7. Royalties | Trademarks, Residuals
Let’s brainstorm how we can create another stream of income for yourself!
What can you do, sell, provide? What product, service or subscription can you create?
Online classes
1-1 Coaching
Etsy Shop
Transcribing/Video Captioning
Publishing a book
Choreographic services
Regular product selling (a weekly or monthly service)
Copywriting
Physical products.
Digital products
Digital Art (NFT’s)
Website/Wix Stores.
Subscriptions
Memberships
What services can you provide and potentially have people subscribe to?
What physical products can you create and sell?
What digital products can you create and sell?
What can you create once and sell it over and over again?
Don’t let resistance beat you! Does this sound familiar? "You don’t know enough, you’re not good enough, it's already been done"… blah blah blah. There are always two lawyers in court: Prosecution and Defence. The prosecution (your ego) will always be loud and aggressive.
REMEMBER TO CALL ON YOUR DEFENCE ATTORNEY!
