2022: Another Chance to Change!

Happy 2022!

2021 was a big year for me because I was let go of my 9-5 which catapulted my entrepreneurship journey, I committed to building my online presence as a financial advisor, I hit a bunch of business and financial milestones, I helped 130 clients through financial mentorship and ended the year with an intense, transformative epiphany. I learned to tighten up my boundaries (AGAIN🥴), heavily schedule my days, automate parts of my business, challenge myself with goals and much more! My goals for 2022 include introducing new elements to my business, continuing to fearlessly market myself, building a team and making smart investments.

A friend sent me these super dope journal prompts to reflect on 2021 and prepare for 2022. There's about 36 pages so during my downtime, I complete the questions. I want to remind you to always be willing to learn from the past and use those lessons to thrive in the future. You can't change the past so focus on making each new day, new month, new year better. Take it once step at a time, release the need to be perfect, give yourself grace and develop a strong sense of self. 

If your last few years looked similar financially, it's time to commit to change. We can't expect different results with the same behaviours. Reality is, a lot of us need accountability to achieve our goals and that's okay! Don't be afraid to ask for help! I now offer Accountability Coaching for those who need long-term, consistent check-ins and guidance regarding their goals.

In December 2021, I committed to better time management so I started to reduce my social media usage, I set a goal to read 5 books by June, I bought an adult colouring book, I'm consistently journaling weekly and watching YouTube videos about investing at night. What are you committing to or what changes are you making and how are you going to hold yourself accountable?

Remember: every day is another chance to change your financial situation, your habits, your relationships with people, your intentions, all of it. Don't let another year pass doing the same thing, getting the same results, especially if you want more.

All love, always, Shay.💛

What Apps Do I Use To Stay Organized?

I have a lot on my plate and in order to be productive, I have to stay organized. Right now, I'm working on building my Financially Attractive platform, while working full-time, chasing my fitness goals and still trying to enjoy life. Here are some apps that keep me on track every day. iPhone Calendar: if it's not in my calendar, I'll forget.😖 Google Calendar: content creation tasks go in this calendar. Alarm: I am that girl with 30 alarms each day. It combats my procrastination. TD app: I check this multiple times per week. I catch every charge and transaction.👀 Capital One: I check this multiple times per week as well. I stay on top of my credit card. My Fitness Pal: this is helping me be intentional with eating since I want to gain 10-15lbs by the end of the year. Instagram: you'll notice that I'll be using this less but I use it to connect with people, consume financial literacy, promote local businesses, spread love etc. All love, always, Shay.💛 Instagram: @...

SMART Goals Update!

A lot can happen in 1 year, 6 months, even 1 month! To recap, earlier this year, I made a SMART goal to save 10k for an emergency fund by December 2020. I had just started my financial independence journey so I gave myself a lot of time; a whole year. I didn't want to set myself for failure. Fast forward to June 2020 when I hit my 10k goal, 6 months early!! Call it my birthday gift to myself. Proving that I could focus, completely change my spending habits and get shit done, I kept pushing, saving 15k by August and 20k by the end of September.  The thing is, we can achieve such greatness if we have a plan. We can say so many things but without a plan and a way to execute that plan, they're just words flapping in the wind. I will forever talk about SMART goals because they brought me from 0-10, 000 real quick. I encourage you to write down some of your goals, big or small, make them specific, and organize them into categories (financial, personal, fitness, travel etc). Focus on ...

February 2021 Pep Talk

2021 will be exactly like 2020 if you don't change.  This post was supposed to be posted in December 2020 but guess what? Better late than never! Which perfectly leads into my original inspiration... It's never too late to start but you'd better start now! Repetition builds habits and habits build your lifestyle. It's so important to start making moves as soon as possible and not when the calendar tells you to or when a friend tells you to because change takes time. It's okay that you didn't make New Year's resolutions. It's okay that January wasn't your month. But now what? We all know what happens when we procrastinate. We push things until tomorrow and tomorrow never comes. We suddenly feel like our goals aren't important. We make excuses as to why we shouldn't do it anymore. Then we'll forget about it altogether. Then a year will go by and we'll randomly remember and feel tons of guilt for letting a good idea/opportunity slip away...
