Why Financial Control is Essential

Updated: Aug 11, 2022

There are many benefits to taking control of your finances as a woman. When you have a handle on your money, you can reduce stress and anxiety, set and achieve financial goals, and build your confidence.


Financial control can also lead to better opportunities, both in your personal life and career. If you're looking to buy a home or start a business, for example, having a strong financial foundation will give you a better chance of success.


And if you're ever faced with an unexpected financial challenge, such as a job loss or medical emergency, being in control of your finances can help you weather the storm. In my book Facing Financial Fears, we explore how to become confident with money and yourself.


What Financial Control Means


Financial control means:

  • Having a plan and sticking to it.

  • Knowing where your money is going.

  • Making sure that your spending aligns with your goals.

  • Being proactive about your finances and taking steps to ensure your financial stability.

Financial control can be the key to achieving their personal and professional goals. Financial control is empowering, and it is something every woman should strive for.



Tips for Taking Charge of Your Finances

  1. Make a budget: The first step to taking control of your finances is to understand where your money is going. Track your spending for a month and then create a budget that aligns with your financial goals.

  2. Invest in yourself: One of the best ways to grow your wealth is to invest in yourself. That means taking steps to improve your education and skills, so you can earn more money.

  3. Save for the future: It's important to set aside money for your long-term goals, such as retirement. But don't forget to also have an emergency fund to cover unexpected expenses.

  4. Spend wisely: When you do spend money, be smart about it. Look for deals and discounts, and only buy what you need.

  5. Make a plan: Having a financial plan is key to achieving your goals. Write down your goals, and make a roadmap for how you'll achieve them. Then, put your plan into action and track your progress.

Financial control is essential for women. It's a way to take charge of your life, set yourself up for success, and create the future you want. Financial success is within reach, so don't be afraid to go after it. You are worth it!
