What do Michael Jordan and I have in Common?

We are two weeks away from one of the most transformational workshops you’ll attend this year.

Here’s something you may not know.

The ability to generate financial freedom is like learning a sport.  You have to learn how to play the game and perfect your skills in order to win.  “I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed”. Michael Jordan

A key behavior that separates people who have money from those who do not - is the practice of knowing exactly where their money comes from and where it goes in real time.  Not the daily bank balance, but exactly where they’ve chosen to spend their money and where their money comes from.

My own money story has been a journey.  As a young, single mom I struggled trying to build life for my family; I woke up one day deep in debt.  The game changer came at the advice of my bankruptcy attorney.  He sat me down and shared that too often people don’t change their habits and end up right back in his office.  He advised me to model the behavior of people I knew who were successful in their relationship with money.  This started me on a similar path that great athletes and success people use - a commitment to consistently training and repeat the steps that build a healthy relationship with money!

It all starts with having a money management system.   If you are an entrepreneur or small business owner this is the most important step to  growing a successful business - your money management system.

Money management wasn’t taught in school.  Not only was it not taught in school - - - what was taught is that money management is hard and best left to the “experts”.  The 1% who control most of the financial wealth in the U.S would be very happy if we all continued to think managing money isn’t something we can, and need, to learn!  This played out story coupled with media influence that wants us to spend unconsciously and continue making decisions that keep the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer.

Take that first step today to making 2016 the year you build a healthier money relationship.  Click here to join me on May 4th for the DIY Bookkeeping Workshop for Entrepreneurs.
