If you handle your money in the right way, you can have more, give more, and enjoy your life more.
Here's what you can do to start taking control of your money now:
1. Revisit your story about money. Where we come from and what we hear about money unconsciously shapes our lives. If you think rich people are negative or that having money is bad, you won't attain wealth because you don't want to be negative or bad. If wealth is something that brings you more happiness, joy, and service, you'll want to make more of it. So, first, redefine what wealth means to YOU!
2. Make sure you automatically invest. When get a check from your employer, have some of the funds automatically go into your savings account or investment account. This way you won't forget and you won't spend the money unnecessarily. Automatically investing means your money will be earning money for you and working for you.
3. Ask the question, "How can I add more value in the time in which I serve?" Squeeze in more value. Hustle a little bit more. Serve even more. Adding more value to people in the same amount of time makes you more productive, gets you more recognition, and gives you more opportunities. There's no traffic beyond the extra mile! Just add a little more than anyone else is doing, and you'll be in a category of one.
4. Raise your standards for a reward! If you're a high performer and really adding value but you're still not being rewarded for your true contribution, raise your minimum of what you will allow in your life. Be bold, push the boundaries, and you will be rewarded.
When you follow these simple steps for handling your money, you will have a positive story about wealth, your money will be earning money for you, you will be adding more value, you will have a higher standard for yourself and you will be experiencing The Charged Life!
