There are 6 steps to mastering your relationship with money.
1 You have to know and understand your money habits. How much are you spending and what are you spending it on? How much money are making? Do you have a system for keeping track of bills, payments, invoices, etc.?
2 You have to deal with your money “issues”. Everyone has stuff from their past that can muddy up their present (and future) and the best way to deal with it is to deal with it! Figure out how you’re getting in your own way and how to do better.
3 You have to get very clear on your why. Pinpoint the emotional reasons behind your goals and it’ll be a lot easier to stick to them.
4 You have to understand your money “energy”. We all have different strengths, gifts and challenges when it comes to money. Identify yours and you’ll be able to love money so that money will love you back.
5 You have to shift your money perspective. Chances are, you’ve been thinking about money in terms of lack and wanting. There may even be faint traces of desperation. But, that is not the way to money relationship mastery. Money wants you to take firm, but loving control.
6 You need to let go of the past. Release any guilt, shame, fear or other less-than-happy associations you may have. Consider any “mistakes” lessons learned and keep moving forward.
I wish you good luck and safe travels on your journey to money relationship mastery!
