Money with Alpha Alpha Schulte

How much of our lives are we living truly based on our own design (and not someone else's, or society's)?
Our lives are influenced by our Beliefs, Stories and Behaviours, around money, and other areas.  Being inspired by others is one thing.  Comparing ourselves to them is a recipe for depression and anxiety.  
In the episode I talk about some strategies I use on myself and my clients to help manage situations when I'm not feeling that my life is really heading where I want it to go.

Procrastination and avoidance is something we do when we don't like it.  Money tends to be one of those somethings.  And it doesn't need to be like that.  Especially as money is extremely important.
In this episode I take you through 3 steps to help you find more fun in sorting out your finances.

Travel is something I've loved since I was a very little girl.  When I started working at the age of 14, my primary goal was to save up to travel.  Apart from a few years when my daughter was first born, I've gone away somewhere every year.  I even worked at an airline for a few years, and did a lot of travelling in that time - taking advantage of the standby deals!
So, I've cultivated my travel budgeting too over the years.  However, this last trip I just took with my mum and daughter didn't go quite to plan.  Have a listen to find out why, and what I did.

Budgeting is something that many of us avoid, but know we really should do.  It's a bit like exercise, only exercising you can make somewhat fun (think Zumba!)...
Being aware of what is coming in and what is going out each month is part of it.  Forecasting is important also.  Many accounting systems will try and help you with this, however, the budgeting side doesn't connect in with your personal budget.
This episode takes you through the principles behind how I do this.

Money is something we are not taught about - neither personal finances nor business finances.  And yet, we feel so much shame and guilt around our ability to manage money.
This episode is me delving into the "why" of this, and also to give you some strategies to help yourself move beyond it and head towards confidence and financial empowerment.

Manifestation and Money Strategy might seem like a odd combination, but in order to make anything real (which is what manifestation essentially is), you first need to be super clear.
Strategy gives you direction and is a way to condense your "wish list" into a structure that you can make plans and then tasks lists on.
Alignment between your strategy, plans and tasks are important.  Think about making a meal, or organising and holiday, or renovating a house.  Without first knowing what you want to do (or where you want to go, or what you want to eat), it makes everything else completely random and even more difficult.
Here are the 5 elements I go through in this episode:
What do you want? Why do you want it? How will you do it?  (what action step(s) will create movement towares what you want) Money audit (knowing where your money is coming and going) Visualisation. Now is the time to get clear and be strategic about your money and finances!
