Financial Goals

  • Mo’ money, mo’ solutions.
  • Stop stressing and feeling hopeless about money and start doing things to put yourself on track.
  • Identify and overcome money blocks. E.g. why don’t YOU deserve to be well off? Are you limited by your parents’ beliefs? Do you fear greed? Do you have rationalizations over why you don’t have or don’t need money? Is not having money causing underground resentment? Do you get overwhelmed and avoid thinking about money? Do you meet emotional needs by spending money and then feel guilty? Are social justice, integrity and success really incompatible? Would it be possible to thrive and build loving community that brings others up? Are there career options you haven’t considered?
  • Align to financial realities. E.g., which careers have reasonable compensation? What steps are required to move to a higher paying role? How many widgets or hours would you have to sell to live off this? What are people actually prepared to pay for?
  • Get clear-headed and think through how you can become valuable and get rewarded for it.
  • Discover frameworks, such as sex-and-cash and one-for-me-one-for-you that help to pay bills while keeping the dream alive.
  • Develop an abundance mentality over scarcity thinking.
  • Start actively working toward financial independence.
