I believed making more money was going to solve my problems— so I worked more hours, missed weddings and family reunions, and pushed past the stress and burnout. Truth is… I was using more money to justify why other folk were able to progress financially instead of taking an honest assessment of what I was focused on. In this episode of Financial Security is the New Black we talked about the warning signs, my two big realizations, and how your progress doesn’t have to be contingent on adding another figure to your income. ____ If you’re ready to design a money management system to guide your spending and funnel your figures into financial security, I’m inviting you to apply for BLAZE 💸 Let’s work together to optimize your income and develop a strategic and personalized plan equipping you with the mindset, strategy, and systems needed to guide intentional spending, build savings, tackle debt, invest wisely, and automate key aspects increasing your financial security month after month.
