In this conversation, I’ll walk you through knowing your financial expectations, from uncovering the true cost of your current lifestyle to defining the life you truly want—and how that clarity fuels manifestation. Plus, I’ll share the powerful case study of Jeremy, a successful gelato business owner who went from drowning in invoices and stress to total financial clarity in just six months.
Mastering your finances isn’t just about money—it’s about creating freedom. Tune in now to learn how!
Know Your Financial Expectations
Today, we are back with part 2 to cover step two: Get clear on your financial expectations.
How much does your current lifestyle cost? Rent, bills, daily expenses—know your numbers.
But don’t stop there. Think about your desired lifestyle. What would truly elevate your life? A weekly massage? An annual family vacation? Break it down—how much does it cost?
Manifestation is powerful, but it needs clarity. Social media might push the idea of a “10K month,” but do you really need that? Maybe your number is 3K, 5K, or 15K. The key is knowing your financial expectations, not just following trends.
So, if 5K, 10K, or 20K landed in your account tomorrow—would you know exactly what to do with it? Let’s breathe into that clarity.
Take a deep breath in… exhale slowly. Inhale again… and release.
And take another deep breath in. And exhale slowly.
Feel yourself confident with numbers, friends with numbers, Inhale and exhale slowly.
Okay, one more.
Business Story: From Financial Overwhelm to Freedom
Ever wondered what it looks like to be friends with your numbers? Let me tell you about Jeremy—the gelato guy.
Jeremy ran a successful gelato business with a half-million-dollar turnover, but his finances were a mess. One day in Bali, I saw him drowning in paperwork at a café, stressed out over invoices and bills. Meanwhile, I was happily enjoying my pistachio gelato. We got talking, and when I mentioned I was a CFO, his eyes lit up.
In just six months of working together, Jeremy went from:
✅ Scattered invoices in a messy box → A clean, organized Google Drive system
✅ Panic attacks over finances → Sleeping peacefully
✅ Zero work-life balance → Surfing with his son
Now, for the past eight years, he’s been managing his numbers with ease—no stress, just clarity. And yes, we even celebrated with gelato.
The lesson? Mastering your finances isn’t just about numbers—it’s about freedom.
