Hello,

On October 2, 2022 - my newsletter was about being consistent with sending weekly newsletters, and guess what happened?😱

I HAVEN NOT SENT ONE FOR THE LAST TWO WEEKS!😅!

These past few weeks have been busy with family matters and my food business. Follow @SierraMexicanCuisine on TikTok for food content. 🌮

I was upset for not continuing my streak, and I started self-sabotaging. I delayed writing the newsletter, which caused me to feel bad, thus continuing to postpone writing my newsletter. ♽

Why am I sharing this?

Because this happens a lot with our finances, we create a budget, and we follow it. BUT then an unexpected expense occurs, or a family matter arises, so we have to outsource - eat out more, travel out of town, etc. And then we feel like giving up. 😟

I want to share a recent story of one of my amazing clients. ✨

A couple of weeks ago, they faced a difficult family manner, unexpected expenses came their way, and they hadn’t had the time to update their numbers. We met, and we figured out what they needed. Do you know what they needed the most? 🧐

TIME! ⏰

They hadn’t had the time to look at their numbers.

And one thing I noticed with myself and many others is when we don’t have or make time to look at our numbers - FEAR kicks in. 😨

Thoughts like

“I don't want to look at my statement because I know I overspent.”

“This will delay my goals!”

And this makes us anxious or nervous, so we avoid the situation. 🙈

But as their coach, I hold them to their highest self. I asked them if it would be better for them to use our coaching time to catch up with her numbers, and we would reschedule the second part of our meeting for later. Sometimes we just need accountability. 🤝

This is how a coach can support you. We create the space for you to be who you are without judgments, hold you accountable and create an actionable plan for you. 💪🏽

And when I met with my client the following time, you know what we noticed?

Even though they had some unexpected expenses, they were on track with their spending. There were some categories they had underspent. 🎉

This shows that sometimes we overthink and expect the worst, BUT once we actually take the time and analyze our numbers - things are not bad AT ALL!

But instead of just getting to business, we self-sabotage. “Well, I already messed up this month, so I might as well continue this trajectory.”

Getting off track is not the problem. The challenging part is getting back on track ASAP. 🛤

This is the type of work I do with my 1:1 clients. You don’t have to get your finances together and grow your money by yourself.

If you would like to schedule a free 30-minute call on how we can work together to achieve your financial and/or business goals, use the link here.

My goal is to help and guide my clients to reach their goals despite the roadblocks that life throws at them. More than a coach, I am your cheerleader!

Con Cariño,

Lucy
