Money Management for Creators & Hustlers: How to Take Control of Your Finances

By -
Image
In today’s gig economy, many creators and hustlers, whether freelancers, artists, influencers, or side hustlers, are redefining how income is earned. While working for yourself brings freedom and creativity, it also comes with financial uncertainty and complexity. Without steady paychecks, benefits, or HR departments, you’re responsible for every cent earned and spent. If you're a creator or entrepreneur building your own path, managing money wisely is non-negotiable. Here’s a guide to help you budget, save, and thrive even with inconsistent income. 1. Budgeting for Inconsistent Income One of the toughest parts of being self-employed is dealing with fluctuating income. Some months you might make double your usual rate; other months, it’s radio silence. The key is to build a baseline budget that covers your essentials and prepare for low-income months. Tips: Know your bare minimum. Calculate the monthly amount needed for rent, food, transport, bills, and loan ...

IMPORTANCE OF ATTITUDE- MONDAY MOTIVATION

By -

 Let us start each week with words of wisdom, and today are:

“Attitude is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than what people do or say. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill.” ~ Charles Swindoll



I thought I’d share my Monday morning traditions today hoping it inspires you to achieve your goal(s) for the week. 

  1.  Be Organized – Begin every Monday morning with a “To-Do List” of weekly activities listed in priority from most urgent to least. Before noon, tackle the five most urgent tasks when your commitment to completing them is high. 

2.       Be Creative – Everyone has a different internal creative time when writing or thinking happens best for them. I love being creative first thing in the morning before my day gets bogged down with details or requests.

3.        Be Sales Orientated – Every Monday map out the sales strategies to reach your goal(s). Business is nothing without sales, and it is sales that provide the revenues required to pay the bills and employees' wages. So, let's go for it, team. 

Many thanks for your time,

Best regards to the week!
