5 Tips to Help You Succeed Financially

Blog

No matter where you see yourself, succeeding financially is about switching to the perspective of empowerment with your money and creating expansion for your cash to flow in the direction of the life you want to live. 

As I always say, we work things out or act them out through our money, our health or our relationships and so when it comes to succeeding financially, we have to look at the integration of all three areas and identify how we’ve been hardwired to respond. 

We have to learn how to rewire that old fear-based patterning and draw upon some basic but transformational tools to get the process in motion!

Regardless of if you’re seeking financial success in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond, I’m going to take you through 5 steps that will allow you to build your financial muscles. 

1. Trust Your Body Intelligence

So often we make financial decisions based on what our mind thinks is the right thing to do, yet our body is screaming at us whether this be through anxiety, fear or not feeling grounded.

If you’re making financial decisions when you’re not in neutral, those decisions aren’t going to be aligned. 

How do you know when you’re not aligned? Well, this can show up in ways such as getting nervous, anxious, fearful or guilty when you go to speak to your spouse or a professional about your money. 

When your body intelligence is trying to tell you ‘Hey, I’m important too!’, you have to start trusting it!

And remember, trusting yourself financially isn’t going to happen overnight. Like it takes time to build muscle at the gym, it also takes time to build those financial muscles and create new habits. It takes practice and learning to get in tune with what your body is telling you.

2. Breathe

You probably won’t find many financial professionals in the industry that will tell you how important the breath is when it comes to financial success and how to achieve it! But I approach things differently because I know that taking it back to basics and starting with the breath, is the foundation for building wealth from the inside out.

I’d like you to think of this like financial yoga. It opens things up. When you’re contracted and not opening up your capacity for financial flexibility, you need to breathe into where you’re stuck. 

Breath to create the space for expansion. When your physical nervous system is hijacked, you can’t open up to allow financial flow. 

3. Step into Your Power!

If you want your finances to flow in the direction of the life you truly desire to live, you have to open up the channels, which as I’ve just spoken about, starts with the breath. 

This then enables you to make financial decisions from a place of being grounded, instead of from a place of reactivity. 

Instead of feeling like you’re constantly patching up those financial holes, you’re consciously directing the flow of your money to account for those expenses that pop up before defaulting to debt and allowing the banks or something or someone on the outside to control you.

For example, owning a house will inevitably come with future expenses. This could be windows or appliances that require replacing. Depending on how old the house you own is, this timeline will vary, but these things will still happen eventually. Yet, we still get surprised when things do go wrong and then fall into debt as a consequence.

Stepping into financial empowerment and building your financial intuition is about accounting for those replacements ahead of time by automatically funding a ‘house repair fund’ intention in an online account. This means that over a 20 year period, you have the cash there - it’s not a shock to the system and keeps your nervous system in neutral. 

You can’t live the life you want to live, if you’re not in flow and to stay in flow, your nervous system needs to be neutral, calm and grounded.

4. Choose Your Financial Priorities

Like the example above, intentionally have your money going in the direction of financial empowerment so that you have the cash there ready for that new car, travel experience, house expense or to be able to leave your job and have the space to look for something more aligned. 

It means not defaulting to debt and allowing the bank to control you. It means becoming your own bank and creating your own roadmap to financial success, on your own terms where you’re along for the ride every step of the way!

5. Allow Yourself to Dream the Dream - and then Align

The true path to succeeding financially is to get out of your fears and shift the energy instead, to what you want to create. In my book, Awaken Your Wealth, I talk about the importance of dreaming the dream. 

This is because if you start with the dream and then get your reality into alignment, we can get you to the next place of choosing your financial priorities and building your financial muscles. 

It means you can shift from a place of feeling like a victim to the bank, the government, your parents or someone or something else. Victim consciousness creates scarcity and blocks the wealth you want to create from flowing in.

So instead, you can now choose the things that are in alignment with your heart and soul and use these tools I’ve shared today to step out of your financial fears and on your way to financial empowerment!
