Talk about your finances

A chapter extract from our book 12 Steps to Improve Your Cashflow

“If you have any financial worries, it is crucial that you get some clarity on your situation by talking about your financial challenges. If you’ve ever kept your financial problems to yourself then you’ll know you spend a lot of time thinking about your money worries but not in a constructive way, especially as it’s always surrounded by anxiety! Talking about your financial problems or any problem for that matter will help you clear some space in your mind and allow the creative part in you to solve it. Speak to someone who you trust and who knows about business and finances. Choose either an accountant, a finance coach, a business mentor, your partner or a friend but do talk to someone.

Many of my friends and clients have always felt so much lighter when they’ve spoken to me about their financial frustrations. Sometimes it’s just about being honest. In the field of coaching and personal development, there is a big emphasis on always seeing the positive in every situation and only talking about things we want to attract into our lives. This has resulted in many business owners, particularly coaches and therapists, not being honest about their lack of sales for example, as they fear that they will attract more lack. I agree that what we focus on we get, however, we still have to be factual about what is happening right now and then use our focus to change it.”
