What You Don't Know About Money Could Hurt You

On this episode of Financially Naked: Stories from The Financial Gym, our host is Hailey Lott, a Financial Gym client, and she is going to talk about being financially smart.

• Hailey is a Peak Performance meditation specialist, functional ability yoga instructor, and a sound and breath work facilitator. She supports people in recognizing the beliefs, thought patterns, and habits that are no longer working for them.
• Hailey is an entrepreneur and she started her business five years ago, and she has gone through all of them ups and downs of entrepreneurship life. The biggest lesson she learned last year was she hit her goal of making over six figures for the first time in her business, but she hadn't saved and she didn't have anything to show for it.
• Hailey knew she had to get serious about her finances so she could save up for travel, buying a home, and an emergency fund (which she didn't know she needed). She was very resistant, because she was terrified. She told herself that she wouldn't be able to figure it out and that belief held her back.
• If we want to change our minds and our lives, we need to do something different. Hailey didn't know what she was doing, she didn't have the support, and she didn't know where to start.
• Hailey was introduced to The Financial Gym from a few people talking about it and she saw an ad online. She wanted to have something to show for what she was doing in her business.
• If you want to start, take the action and know it is okay to have the worries or doubt. The most important thing to do is to take action until it becomes the new normal and a subconscious habit that you don't have to think about.
• Hailey's financial trainer is Victoria and there was so much she didn't know. When she started uncovering these areas, the limiting beliefs got louder. Hailey decided to try The Gym for three months.
• After the first meeting, once she sent Victoria the information she needed, they scheduled the planning meeting. Hailey felt very safe, supported, and able to ask questions.
• The planning meeting felt exciting and overwhelming. The plan was over 20 pages long and everything was explained, like saving for emergencies, taxes, future travel, and other things that are important and fun for her. Victoria gave Hailey goals and ways to make those goals a reality.
• Hailey emails Victoria every week with different financial questions, and there is now a feeling of ease around her finances. She is two months in and she already feels more confident. This has brought the awareness she needed to start budgeting. It now feels like a fun game, because she has savings.
• Hailey has more savings than ever, because she made a decision to get support from The Gym. This works as long as you make the effort and follow through.
• If you want more when it comes to your finances, join The Financial Gym.
