How was your weekend?
We only have 3 more days before opening the Creating Money Magic course for registration and I thought it would be a great idea to share some mistakes I see people making with money.
How to Get Over the Fear of Asking for a Raise or Invoicing Clients
A few weeks ago I had to ask for money owed to me from my former school in South Korea.
I literally just went back and forth with them and reminded them that we had reached an agreement 3 weeks ago on the payment amount and date and that date has passed.
A few minutes later the money was transferred to my account and I was like: Thank you.
But then it hit me - there was a time when I would have waited and waited before asking people to pay me money they owe me. I would have created a long story and twisted myself in knots at the very idea of asking for money.
My message a few weeks ago was literally 2 sentences long and to the point.
I’m actually shocked by how much I’ve changed when it comes to asking for money that's owed to me or invoicing.
Investments 101: What is Value Investing?
A few weeks ago, we had a live class about creating and managing investment portfolios in uncertain times.
During the class we discussed how our investment portfolios are influenced by our future needs and the vision we have for our lives.
We also spoke about this concept of generational wealth and wealth creation - the idea that we want to create wealth that outlasts our lifetime, so even our children don't have to worry about retirement.
There are many ways to do this.
How to Deal with People That Won’t Pay You for Services Rendered
I wanted to take a moment to re-visit the topic of working for free or for people that don't pay us.
This is even more intense than being undercharged.
This has a lot of spiritual implications for us as well.
According to the laws of the universe whatever energy goes out must come back to us. So there's a constant flow of energy to and fro.
Investments 101: How Exchange Rates Influence Your Investment Portfolio
Last week I wrote about country ratings and the impact they have on the economy and your portfolio.
This also has an immediate impact on exchange rates.
A really important topic in my world as a traveller, I always feel the change in exchange rates instantly.
I remember the first time the finance minister in South Africa was replaced - I was living in Goa, India. Up until that moment ZAR1 would give me Rs5, but then suddenly overnight ZAR1 could only get me Rs4. I was super upset.
Now in Dubai, something similar is happening, only now it’s crazier because the currency here is stronger and it’s one of the most expensive cities in the world.
