Repaving Your Road to
Financial Independence! by Nisha Jackson
I
f not now, when? It’s not too late start, your journey to financial independence. If you are starting over, you may be in the valley, with what seems like a tough climb back to the peak. Just know that you are not alone and recovery is possible. The key factors to recovery are: Mindset, Planning, and Action. These factors work in unison and must be used on a consistent basis. Mindset is an important component of money management. Look internally and see if your mindset is sabotaging your financially success. If so, work on self improvement in that area so that you don’t create your own glass ceiling in your financial success. To create financial independence, it is imperative that we forgive any past transgressions and resolve any negative mindset issues before we can repair our finances. We must raise our wealth consciousness and believe we are entitled to a higher standard of living. Start with a vision and a goal. Keep everything in one organized notebook. Be “courageous” and face every area of your finances. Gather all bills and sources of income and evaluate them.
Separate them by what you owe (liabilities) and income (assets). Create a spending plan to see where you stand. If more money is going out than you are bringing in, it’s time to make adjustments in the variable expenses (expenses that change every month).
have the correct tax exemptions, Instead of giving Uncle Sam a free loan during the year and getting a big refund, use that money that during the year.
Take action! Use a small notebook to track EVERY purchase you make for 30 days. Evaluate those purchases to find holes in your pocket. If you have debt, eliminate it. You can eliminate debt in the fastest time possible using the money you already make. Make sure you
They’re not balancing their checkbook regularly or worse, not checking their bank statements for errors. Avoid those hefty overdraft fees! Do you have bills that you haven’t opened? Is your insurance cost effective and adequate?
Please “stop disrespecting your money”? Here’s how many are disrespecting their money:
Is your Financial Advisor, Accountant or Insurance Agent, etc., not benefitting you by suggesting ways to save money when the economy changes or you have a change in a major life event (marriage, divorce, childbirth or 10 year advancement in your age)? If not, it may be time to change those governing your money. Become an active participant and have a say in how your money is being allocated. Don’t stay in situations, because it’s comfortable. Just as the economy changes, so should your financial planning. Remember, you can’t fix what you don’t acknowledge. Here’s to your brilliant success!

Visualization can be defined as the power of mentally using visual images to create your desired outcome. In other words, picture yourself successful and watch what happens!

We spoke to Elizabeth about her weight loss journey and how today, she coaches others on how to achieve better health and fitness.

Before long, Elizabeth had pushed her dreams to the side. Feeling lost and depressed, she turned to food for comfort and ballooned to over 240 lbs., and wore a size 24. Her reality came when she had to have her gallbladder removed. It was at that time when she knew she had to change her life and her health. Using the power of visualization Before became her driving force.
