What scares you about money?

Note down what to mind and reflect back on your thoughts.
How do you feel?
What can you change?

Not enough money for the month?

It scared the life out me.

I used to think that money didn’t play a big part on my mind as I was in a steady
job that pretty much covered the monthly need and that was all that was
needed. But I didn’t see redundancy from my final employer coming round
the corner and to say that was something of a gut punch is an understatement.

Pulling the rug from under my feet which I thought was holding the (growing)
family steady really rocked me as suddenly I realised we were cut adrift and
what the heck was I supposed to do next month?!

Not having enough money to cover our monthly fixed costs used to terrify
me greatly to the point of having sleepless nights. So my immediate goal
to overcome this was to refer back to things like household budgets, goals,
visions and plans and what I needed to get to in the first instance.

I wanted to build out a process that forced me to structure revenues in a way
that portioned money off to savings, profits and investments every month and
set my own goals such as get one month ahead, get three month ahead, six
months ahead and so on.

For me this helps me stay in control and on the path to better business
development and a better handle on my relationship to money. Why?
Because I recognised what scared me and made a plan to change it.

So…what scares you?
And what can you do to change it?
