How can a money mindset help you plan for the future?

It doesn't matter what industry your primary source of income is; if the market hits a rough spot you can be in SERIOUS trouble. Setting yourself up with an income-producing side-hustle can be the difference between struggling and succeeding. Talk about money with your family, friends, and colleagues to discover new opportunities for a backup plan. It's never a good idea to rely on one income stream and this can help make sure you and your family are never caught off guard.

The importance of knowing where your money is going

Do you know where your money goes every month? Have you ever sat down to identify all the different recurring expenses on your account and identified items you should eliminate? Having a money mindset means making a conscious decision to tell your money where to go. By understanding where your money is going and choosing how to use it, you can then identify new ways to make that money multiply!

Steps you can take today for a successful side-hustle

Are you ready to get started? Follow these easy steps to change your money mindset!

Change your money story!

Reprogram your mindset so you're continually monitoring where your money is going. Educate yourself by studying money masters and TALK to people for real-world ideas. You have the time to invest in your financial future if you want to, so do the work today to find your success!

Cut-out expenses you don't need

Protect your income and start saving more by eliminating items you don't need or want. Set a budget for spending and saving so you can make sure you're covered both in the present and in the future.

Create additional income streams

Choose a side-hustle that can be operated online and from home. If there is a product, choose something reoccurring and consumable. Commit to working with that company for at least five years to give yourself enough time to learn the business. Pay yourself first and, most importantly, don't spend all of your money each time you earn!

BONUS: A game to help you focus on your ideal life

Financial independence is being able to choose how you spend your time and money on your terms. But, financial freedom is having enough money to meet your needs and wants while still having enough to donate and share.

Play a game with your family where you each imagine a life of financial freedom.

What would your magic number be?
What would your life be like and what would you do?
How would you spend your money?

Write this down and reflect on it regularly to stay motivated towards your goal.
