Brick by brick you can slowly start to build a solid foundation for your finances. But where do you start? Establishing your self-worth both personally and as an entrepreneur is crucial to a sustainable financial journey.

Are you working with the right clients, and are you charging enough?

How are you investing both time and money into your financial future?

As a business owner, where can your controllables be adjusted?

Self-worth is not the same as net worth. Variable income earners have to identify the gaps between the two to achieve financial success. Join the Mills Knows Bills community to take your first steps in creating a support group for both your business and financial goals.

Do you have a financial scarcity mindset? Mills identifies seven ways to know if these limiting beliefs are holding you back. And if so, how do you move towards a life full of financial abundance?

Your brain wants to be right. So much so that it'll try to prove itself right. That’s why reframing your mindset in a positive way is a powerful tactic when it comes to achievement.

The first step to financial literacy is to have a realistic approach to your finances. A realistic approach means establishing a budget that aligns with your goals. This will give you just enough discipline for the present, but allows you to set yourself up for future success. And small changes will have a long lasting impact. So be consistent.
