Taking out your EMOTIONS!

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.
