You’re probably thinking to yourself, “is that really a question? Who doesn’t want to have more money?

And you would be right.  I haven’t come across one person who tells me that they don’t want any extra money, especially this time of year with the holidays so close.

Let’s just think about what you could do with more money each month – would you be able to pay down more debt?  Start your holiday budget a little earlier so you can breathe easier?  Finish funding your emergency fund?  What would you do?  In today’s video I’m sharing with you my go-to tips and advice for how to keep more money instantly without having to put any more stress on yourself or drastically cut your spending.

Here’s a quick snapshot of what we talk about in the video:

CLEAN

It’s time do a little deep cleaning on your spending.  Print out banks statements for a month or two to go through.  Grab a highlighter and a pen so you can make notes.  Highlight any spending you aren’t sure what it is or any expenses that you don’t need to be spending.  For instance, check out our subscriptions.  Do you really need that monthly subscription box or gym membership that you haven’t used in months?  Just by going through your spending, you’ll be able to have a full picture of where your money is going.

MAKE A LIST

Take a few minutes to create a list of all your opportunities.  These include any ways you can possibly make more money – now this doesn’t mean going out and finding a second job, but easier methods of increasing your income.  Clean out closets and sell unwanted items, savings from canceling those subscriptions from step one, finding a new client or two to on-board, selling your services (I sell my budgeting coaching program), create templates to sell (like I do in my shop), and any other ideas you may have.

No matter if you’re in a service-based industry or product-based industry make sure to watch the video to get my one tip on increasing your sales.

FOCUS

You have a clear vision of what you’re spending and you even created a list of how to make more money.  Now it’s time to get to work.  Pick three things to start focusing on and get started.  If you pick cancel a subscription service and find two new clients then that’s great.  Once you check one item off your focus list then replace it with another idea of your income list.  Keep going until you have checked everything off.
