Entrepreneurship isn't perfect! It's exciting, messy, twisted, fun, and much like a motorcycle ride. So worth it. This show is about helping people build businesses that allow them the freedom to live more, work less and create the life they are meant to live. In 2008, with less than five hundred dollars, I launched Rivera Business Development. I did it because of the belief that entrepreneurship could provide the means to rise above ones circumstances and it does. Now I want to help you in your entrepreneurial journey.

Tired of the impact external forces have on your money?

Tired of the Impact External Forces have on your money? Welcome back to The Successful Living Podcast. ! I'm thrilled to have you here today as we delve into a topic that's close to all our hearts: success, self-awareness, and the often-overlooked aspect of financial consciousness. In a world where we tend to point fingers at external factors for our financial struggles, it's high time we turn the spotlight inward and examine our own decisions. I'm your host Dinette Rivera, and in today's episode, we're going to explore how self-awareness and financial consciousness can pave the way for a more prosperous future. Let’s start with the blame game When financial difficulties strike, it's easy to play the blame game. We often find ourselves pointing fingers at the economy, politics, job market, and a plethora of external factors. But what if the real key to unlocking our financial woes lies within our own decisions? Let's face it – blaming external factors might offer temporary relief, but it doesn't provide a long-term solution. The Power of Self-Awareness So, what's the solution? Self-awareness. Understanding our own financial habits, behaviors, and tendencies is the first step towards achieving financial consciousness. By acknowledging our own role in our financial situation, we can take control and make conscious choices that lead to positive outcomes. Self-awareness empowers us to assess our spending patterns, recognize our strengths and weaknesses, and identify areas for improvement. Income vs. Expenses When faced with financial challenges, the knee-jerk reaction is often to focus solely on increasing our income. We look for better-paying jobs or even consider taking on additional part-time work. While these are valid strategies, they're just one side of the coin. It's equally important to scrutinize our expenses. Financial Decision-Making One of the best practices is to examine our current financial decisions. Are we truly conscious of how we're spending our money? Can we account for every dollar that leaves our wallets? Savings shouldn't be an afterthought – it should be a cornerstone of our financial planning. Building an emergency fund becomes essential to safeguard against unexpected events. Shifting the Focus Instead of immediately seeking external solutions, consider a paradigm shift. Turn your attention inwards and evaluate your own financial habits. Ask yourself: Am I making conscious choices when it comes to spending and saving? Am I prioritizing my financial well-being? By asking these questions, you're setting the stage for a more secure future. Crafting a Financial Future Crafting a successful financial future requires a holistic approach. It's not just about earning more money; it's about managing that money effectively. This means understanding your financial goals, creating a budget, tracking expenses, and consistently saving for the future.
