As a successful business owner, you should have systems in place for tracking and measuring the various aspects of your business.
Without these measurement tools, there's no accurate way to tell if you're on the right track to meet your goals.
If you don't have such systems in place, you need to get on that immediately (once you finish reading this article)! While tracking and measuring all areas of your business are equally as important, for my purposes here I want to focus on the financial side of things.
Whether you're just starting your business or have been running a successful company for years, you need to track EVERY penny that goes into your business as well as out- and from both a practical standpoint as well as a spiritual one.
The reasons for tracking your money from a practical standpoint are obvious.
You need to know your numbers, your income, your expenses, etc.
, in order to successfully run, build, and manage your business.
That's a no-brainer, right? But have you ever thought about the need for tracking your money from a spiritual standpoint? What do I mean by tracking money from a spiritual standpoint? Simply put, tracking your money spiritually means developing a healthy respect for money as opposed to being afraid of it.
One easy, fun way to show respect for your money is by always keeping it organized in your wallet; not in a crumpled mess.
And buy yourself a beautiful wallet to hold your money.
Since money is really currency and currency is really energy, you need to hold the energy high so you can attract more of it.
So, from a spiritual standpoint, you need to build a good relationship with money by showing it love and respect.
Why do I believe this is so important? Keeping track of your money from a spiritual standpoint does a couple of things.
It helps to strengthen your relationship with money.
It strengthens the bond you have with it, and that's how you get more money; not by hiding from it, being intimidated by it and not giving it the 'respect' it deserves.
Spiritually tracking your money also helps you to remind you that while money is of course important to have, it's not the absolute answer to everything in your business or your life.
If you're doing the right work, with the right intentions in your heart, the money will come.
So always hold your money in high regard and have a good healthy relationship with it; not the fear kind that a lot of people have.
You know- the "I'll never have enough" fear.
Holding on to that kind of fear keeps the energy down, and since we know that energy attracts like energy, turning that fear around, holding the respect and energy for money high, will attract more of it.
You don't attract clients by saying, "I dislike clients;" do you? It's the same philosophy with money.
In order to attract more money, you have to have a respectful relationship with it, full of positive energy.
Start now and watch what happens.
