Taking out your EMOTIONS!

By
As I have spent many years in the financial arena and assisting people with coming out of their hardships the one common factor whether male or female is they always say "I feel". We are too often time dictating and responding to our money and futures from a feeling. Feelings change by the minute. When making decisions based on what we feel for that moment disasters are then created. When addressing a payment, when addressing whether you need that new car, that new cell phone, that new house, and etc assess why is it needed or is it just a desire. Emotional spending and keeping up with the Jones' (whoever they are) keeps people in financial bondage and hardships. We can't blame the government or the banking industry for our own ignorance. Knowledge is power therefore get some power over your circumstance. Recognize when you are walking in an emotional place and stay out of the stores, don't even balance your checkbook, or cook a meal while you are there. Find something that will level you out to help you get into a less vulnerable place.

Here is another thing that comes up when assisting people "I don't want to pay them because they". Here is my thing, stop talking about what they did to you and look at this, did they lend you money or did they provide you a service. If your answer was yes to any of this then you owe, PAY UP! It does not matter whether they were nice, worked out arrangements, or whatever at the time. Payment is due! If you go to work you expect to be paid because whoever hired you completed paperwork with you and gave their word that for your services they will pay you. Whether there is a LLC or Corp behind your name you still have expenses that must be met.

Let's take emotions out of what we do and make sound logical decisions based not on emotion.

My Last Day, I QUIT!

By
How many times have you said those very words? How many times have you felt overwhelmed, under qualified, unappreciated, not good enough for the task, just plain out ineffective? We have quit so many times in our minds due to circumstances, emotions, thoughts, and outside influences that we can not count! As a matter of fact although we think we have only quit in our minds for that moment we don't realize the seed that we planted in our own minds which is the seed of quitting and failing. QUITTING IS NO LONGER AN OPTION OR A THOUGHT TO BE CONSIDERED! In life whatever the journey that we find ourselves on we must remember that the journey is not by our hand but the hand of the Most High God. He wrote the book of our life with plans, strategies, and outcomes. He knew who He created us to be. However we fall into the trap of our emotions and other's opinions that we fell to realize that although the journey seems impossible and we appear to be incapable, we have already succes...

Stop Playing!

By
Last week one evening when I had made it home and began bringing my work day to a close, I noticed that I had a miss call from my bank. As I proceeded to call my bank back a recording came on to say, Ms. Harper there has been some activity on your account that has alerted our fraud department. It went on further to ask if these transactions were mine and if not press 2 to speak to a representative. At that moment my heart almost stopped because those transactions were not mine. After speaking to the representative my card was cancelled and a new one was reissued. In that split second my life and my family's lives could have been adversely affected. Although what happened to me is an example of account takeover, I was extremely blessed that it did not go any further. Every year millions of people are affected by this number one growing white collar crime that even the government is unable to get a grip on, and that is identity theft. This crime takes over your entire identity. The...
