60-Day Financial Fitness Challenge: Day 19

Today’s task: Believe in yourself. (And meet with your financial advisor.) Today was kind of magical in a lot of ways. Between spending almost an hour shoveling snow this morning to treating myself to a special breakfast to ending my evening with Joe Dispensa’s inspiring words, I feel like I’m setting myself up for some […]

Congratulations! You’ve made it over 25% of the way through the 60-day financial fitness challenge. Thanks for hangin’ in there with me.

60-Day Financial Fitness Challenge: Day 16

Today’s task: Create a Behance portfolio Having outlined some of my financial goals for the next year, I thought it would be a good exercise to identify all of the subtasks associated with them, and start to block off time on my schedule weekly to make small progress towards those. One of the subtasks for […]
60-Day Financial Fitness Challenge: Day 15

Today’s Task: Pursue 5 contract leads One of the best things that you can do as an entrepreneur is to always be selling. 😀 This was one of my favorite acronyms they taught us at Cutco. ABS. I remember when they first said that, I thought, “Automatic Braking System!” The racer in me immediately when […]
60-Day Financial Fitness Challenge: Day 14

Today’s task: Meet with a financial coach. Not to be confused with ‘schedule a meeting with a financial coach’. 😀 I felt like 90 minutes of chatting and goal-setting was enough for one day. It didn’t help that I had spent the previous half hour letting tears run down my face. The trigger was a […]
60-Day Financial Fitness Challenge: Day 13

60-Day Financial Fitness Challenge: Day 12

Today’s task: Cultivate a sense of peace in the present Feeling so grateful for the time I got to share with others today. Between cooking chilaquiles with one friend and teaching a another how to use my sewing machine this evening, it was the ultimate day for cultivating a sense of peace in the present. […]
60-Day Financial Fitness Challenge: Day 11

I had the pleasure of getting to read Marie Forleo’s e-book this morning about time management. There were two quotes in particular that stood out to me: 1. “When you know what’s important, you can ignore what’s not.” 2. “You’re either going to change by design or by disaster.” Let’s take a minute to talk […]
60-Day Financial Fitness Challenge: Day 10

Almost forgot to post today. Again. Haha and I even had a conversation with someone this morning about how I was 10 days in and going strong! Fun fact: Did you know…my last name is also part of a product of liverspread in Brazil?! Found that in an asian grocery store in Oklahoma a few […]
60-Day Financial Fitness Challenge: Day 9

Welcome to Day 9 of the 60-day financial fitness challenge! How are you doing? Feeling as jazzed as I am about finance? I’m beginning to feel the game-ness spirit of all of this. How much can I grow in two months? Where will I be in 60 days if I already feel like I’ve made […]
