No Nonsense Money Advice

I just wanted to give you two of the best resources I have found for getting some good clear advice on money and investing.

Suze Orman who most women have heard of. Suze is clear to understand, no nonsense and level headed.

So is David Bach. I have always like his Smart Women Finish First.

In order to achieve a dream it is important to have a good grasp on your money. You may or may not not need it in order to get to where you want to go. Living a balanced life and exercising self-care also mean that you are comfortable with your own money and financing.

If you are one of those people like me....help was needed. I want good advice and don't have the time to all the work myself. Suze and David as well as a good financial advisor have great to have in my back pocket.

Women and Money

A few years ago I would have described myself as a woman who was not comfortable about the subject of money. I wanted more of it in my life and yet I judged myself as being greedy for wanting money...even if I could do a lot of good with it.

That made it difficult for me to ask for a salary that reflected my worth to a company....that made me resentful that the company just couldn't see what I was worth.
In the end that made me feel maybe I wasn't worth all that much...which is not true.

Do you see where I am going with this?

I am by no means the only one who has felt this way. Many, many women I talk to are uncomfortable around the issue of money as a whole as well as their individual finances. They want to be independent but the model many of us viewed as young women was one in which the man managed the money. That has led us to not feeling as comfortable with our capability to take care of ourselves in money matters.

There are thousands of books that give us the tools of how to do the actual managing of money or of course there are great financial planners whose job it is to guide people in making smart money decisions.

If we can't get over our limiting beliefs about money though are we going to be able to make use of these valuable tools or will we continue to shy away from the whole subject?

I really want to know. For me it wasn't until I understood how I was holding myself back in money matters that I was able to step up and take charge of my finances. I had to create a vision and a plan of what I needed for money, what it would mean to me to have it and what I would want to do with it.

This isn't about greed...this is about looking at money for what it is....energy a la quantum physics. It should be able to flow in order to do the most good. It should come in and go out and most of all it should be treated with respect.

Having enough money to take care of ourselves also shows self respect as well as respecting that it is not other peoples responsibility to care for us. We have the ability to do it for our self if we can get out of our own way.

You may have missed this when I was talking about it before but I just wanted to remind everyone of this incredible collaborative book project called 101 Great Ways to Improve Your Life Vol 3

Oh no.... 5- 10 minutes and you have a quick pick me up to take with you through the day.
There are some bonuses offered when you buy this book that you can immediately download and take advantage of.
So if you haven't had a chance to check it out ..........here's your chance.

Oh and yes I am one of the authors and I own and have gotten great value from the previous volumes...Volumes 1 & 2.

Hope you take a look....the feedback I have received from people that have the book has been extremely positive.
