This Week on WomanTalk Live – 02/18/12 – “It’s YOUR Money – Create a Fearless Foundation Action Plan for It” with Leonard Raskin

Leonard Raskin

Each of us has our very own set of values and beliefs when it comes to money.  When the financial decisions we make line up with those values, we experience a sense of satisfaction and contentment.  When we experience struggle, worry, buyer’s remorse or suffer in any way over money, most likely those decisions we are making are inconsistent with our values.

So, according to my guest, the WomanTalk Live Wealth Expert, Leonard Raskin, CEO of Raskin Global and Women Getting Wise on Wealth, the first step in creating a fearless foundation action plan is to determine what those values are.  And, when you discover your true purpose for money, every financial decision is easier because you can quickly determine which options serve your purpose.

The next step is to create the second piece of your financial foundation: Your Budget.  And, no, you don’t have to cringe when you hear the word “budget”.

Today, many people are re-evaluating their spending habits. Budgets, once considered the “spending straightjacket,” are actually back in vogue. Pull up any What’s In/What’s Out List for 2012 and chances are you’ll find budgeting right there on the “cool” side of the equation and overspending getting the outs.

At the beginning of the year, many of you made a resolution to take control of your finances. Well, this is the discussion that will help you get started.

Creating a budget with your true purpose for money in mind makes the process much more fulfilling and far less stressful. You not only see where your money is going, but also see hard evidence of your purpose.

Join us this week and take control.  Who knows?  You could become one of those people who really “gets it” when we say “budgeting is fun.”

Saturday, February 18th, from 6:07-7:00 pm ET on Talkradio 680 WCBM Baltimore or “Listen Live” online
