Money Mindset Makeover Challenge-Day 17-Apps
Have you ever thought about creating an app? Today, I thought we’d focus on something that lots of people over look in their search for side gigs and ways to make money, and that’s creating an app. I’ve heard about people who do just that and make lots of money. Once it’s made it’s also passive income. Like everything else, the key is to come up with an app for something just about everyone will need or want. The one thing that’s prevented me from creating one is I’m not that tech savvy and to make an app you need to know how to code. I do know a few…

Money Mindset Makeover Challenge-Day 11-What Makes You Break Your Budget?
How did you do with yesterday’s challenge? Did you figure out what triggers you to break your budget? A few years ago, I realized e-mails from certain companies always tempted me to make a purchase. They always convinced me it was something I really needed at this very point in my life. Many of us are entrepreneurs ourselves who need mailing lists so I’m in no way saying what they’re doing is wrong. We all need to persuade and sell things but be aware of how many you receive per day and how often you’re buying things. And be aware it could be items and services you wouldn’t have gone…

Money Mindset Makeover Challenge-Day 9-Temptations
What tempts you? Knowing what are weaknesses are is a good thing. And it’s make or break when it comes to budgets and saving money. Today, we’re going to focus on temptations… those things that beckon you to stray from your budget or spend more money than you earn. Sit down and try to figure out your money Achilles’ heel. It could be that every time you go to the supermarket you end up with a half a cart load of things you didn’t intend to buy. Each time a sales pitch from a favorite store or business hits your e-mail or mailbox, they easily convince you to buy the…

Yesterday, we brainstormed a list of passions, skills, experiences. How did you do? What did you come up with? Take a look at the list and spend today narrowing it down. Sometimes something will jump out at you. Sit and think about what your heart is telling you to do.

Money Mindset Makeover Challenge-Day 6-What’s Your Passion?
The first week of the challenge is almost over. So far we’ve looked at net worth, assets and liabilities, what money comes in and what money goes out each month. Yesterday, we talked about looking at the goods and services on the minus side of the equation but today we’re going to look at the other side of the coin. Ways you can make that amount larger than your outgoing expenditure. Cutting expenses is one way to do it but we all get to the point where we’ve cut back as much as we can so that’s where trying to make more money to increase that plus side comes into…

Money Mindset Makeover Challenge Day 5-Do You Really Need It?
Do you really need it? That’s the question we’re asking ourselves on day 5 of our month long challenge. We’ve looked at net worth, assets and liabilities. We also looked at monthly income and what’s being spent each month. Just doing these things can be either a surprise or a shock. Either way we all have things on our items on things I spend money on list that can be overhauled or better yet, eliminated. Look through the list and be brutally honest with yourself. Are there some things or services that can be cut? Cable TV…how many channels do you actually watch? Gym memberships…when was the last time you…
