Bouncing Back From A Financial Setback

Are you struggling to reach your audience because you can’t afford to market your business? Marketing is a key component to growing a business but is often overlooked because of all the other necessary expenses in running a business. Marketing your business on a tight budget is possible and simple to do once you understand how.

Once you understand that marketing is simply getting your message to your audience, it becomes easier to manage. You do not have to spend a lot of money on marketing, but you do need to spend some time on building relationships that will lead to growth.

“Marketing is getting your message to your audience, getting your message to your target market.” - Melissa Forziat

What’s holding you back from being yourself in your business? Is it fear that no one will want to work with you? Or that you’ll have to please everyone in order to make any money? It can be hard to truly be yourself, but it is so necessary.

The first step is understanding what’s holding you back from being yourself and then letting that go. Your business cannot grow the way you want it to if you are not showing up as your authentic self. You need to be yourself!

“When you step into who you’re called to be, it opens you up for clarity and where God is leading you.” - Laura Royer

When you step into who you are meant to be, the passion and confidence for your business will start to shine. It allows the ideas to flow through and clarity will come to you around the direction you need to take. But it all starts with being yourself.

Did you start a “little” side hustle to make some cash? Pay off some debt? But what happens when your side hustle isn’t making money?

Starting a side hustle can be a great way to bring in some extra income. I know, for me, that’s why I initially started my business 10 years ago. I wanted to pay off some debt I had accrued and starting my own business seemed like the way to make that happen.

Throughout this time I’ve come to understand there are many reasons why your side hustle isn’t making the money you thought it would. The most common ones always come back to one thing, YOU!

You cannot fit a side business into the 'nooks and crannies’ of your life. – Laura Royer

Today, on the Catch Your Money Podcast, I discuss 4 of the most common reasons why your side hustle isn’t making the money you need it to make and the action steps you can take starting today to start making that money honey!

So if you’re ready for your side hustle to make the money you need and want it to make, sit back and get ready to take the actions I share in this episode. I can’t wait to see you make them Benjamins!

Here’s a sneak peek of the convo:

• [6:08] How I was able to flip the script on my mindset.

• [9:50] Creating a designated time to work on your business.

Have you followed all the rules to get out of debt but still desire quicker results? Maybe you have limited your spending and are making payments on time, but your balances aren’t shrinking. If you are feeling disappointed about the lack of progress you have made to get out of debt, I want to motivate you to keep going.

There are hundreds of reasons why you may be struggling to get out of debt. And until you understand which of these reasons are affecting your debt reduction efforts, you will continue to struggle. 

Over my 20 years of experience in financial management, I have uncovered the reasons why people can not find relief from their debt. Many of my clients have been making the right steps towards becoming debt-free, but they get caught up in two or three little habits that are holding them back from finally breaking through.

In this episode of the Catch Your Money Podcast, I discuss the top 7 most common reasons my clients have struggled to get out of debt. And then I will give you ideas on how to finally fix it for good!

Are you struggling to pay off debt? Or maybe you have financial goals that you want to hit but they just seem so far away from reality? Perhaps you have tried cutting your spending or even picked up a side job, but still have fallen short with getting ahead of your bills. If so my friend, I want to encourage you that YOU are on the right track to improve your financial situation.

You may be surprised to know that fixing your financial situation is as simple as 3 methods: decrease your expenses, increase your income, or do both. But before you close out this page, follow me, because HOW you apply each method is where the magic resides. 

And if you decide to do any of these, it’s important for you to know how to apply them strategically to your financial situation. I know - because I’m speaking from personal (and professional) experience.

You see, I was fortunate to learn at a young age that simply making more money or cutting back on spending would not automatically pull anyone out of debt. It wasn’t until I started tracking my own spending that I knew exactly what I needed to do to fix my financial situation.

“The more money you make, the more money you spend.” - Laura Royer

In this week’s podcast, I walk you through these three methods and discuss specifically HOW you can use each to improve your financial situation. I share the importance and necessity of tracking your spending before and during your financial journey.

If you have tried it all, but nothing has worked, trust me friend, give this episode a listen. I’ve seen a lot in my professional career, and if the strategies I share on this episode worked for me and thousands of others, I know they will work for you too. 

Here’s a sneak peek of the convo:

• [2:10] Why tracking your spending is the first thing you need to do before you try to fix any financial situation.

• [11:26] How to strategically determine what expenses need to be cut and which ones need to be stretched. 

• [20:18 ] The ONE tool that has been a financial game-changer for Laura and 1000s of her clients. 

• [24:09] When increasing your income, how to know how much money you need to make to fix your financial situation.
