WTL Wrap-Up – “It’s YOUR Money – Create a Fearless Foundation Action Plan for It!” – 02/18/12

 Ann and Leonard Raskin

With money being a big concern for so many people, there are still those who choose to ignore managing their finances.  It feels too scary or too overwhelming to tackle.  So, nothing gets done and handling anything financial becomes more of a reaction to something that’s happened rather than a plan.  Not so good.

Then, there are those who are making decisions – investment decisions, thinking about buying a home, purchasing insurance, etc.  All of that can be good -  but maybe not if some of the basic initial steps haven’t been covered.

What’s a person to do?  Well, as Maria von Trapp said, “You start at the very beginning.  It’s a very good place to start.”  And, my guest this past week, Leonard Raskin, the CEO of Raskin Global and the Women Getting Wise on Wealth series, totally agrees with Maria.

Step One – Discovering your true purpose for money

Step Two – Determining where you spend your dollars

Step Three – Coming up with a budgeting (it’s a good thing) plan that will help you plan and look forward to what’s important for you.  You consciously choose where your dollars will be spent.

No one can afford to ignore the important steps anymore.  This is the prime time to take control of your finances and breathe a little easier.

If you missed the show or want to share it with a friend, it will be posted in the podcast archive later on this week – around Wednesday or Thursday.  It is jammed pack with crucial information to get you thinking about creating a fearless foundation action plan for your money.
