When was the last time you consciously evaluated all of your monthly payments? We're working through the September Kickoff in Money Made Simple so we can feel good about our finances heading into the busy (and often expensive) holiday season. This week we're focused on organizing our financial clutter. Subscriptions and recurring expenses can definitely land in the clutter category! Here's our task for today: Look through all your bank/credit card transactions and identify recurring charges. Ask... Do I still use it? Do I still value it? Would I sign up for it again today? I'm not suggesting you cancel everything, but you should cancel things you answer NO to. We all (I'm talking to myself, too!) need to stop paying for things we aren't really using or don't value. If you choose to keep paying, do it intentionally. We often get in the habit of paying for these recurring items without stopping to consider them. If I look at my statement and see three things I'm sort of meh about, I could cancel and keep $30 in my account every month. That money could go to investments, savings, or make the grocery budget a little less restrictive. I talk a lot about thoughtful, conscious spending, and these automatic recurring payments make that hard to do if we don't go back and evaluate. Use your time today to make sure you're consciously paying for those every month.

Awe yeah... Liisa just hit Level 7! 🎉 Which means our resident Funnel Detective has officially earned her place in the 𝗙𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 on the Event Showcase! 🌟 And if you haven't wandered into Liisa on Skool yet, you've got TWO very different communities to explore... 🔎 F𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗰𝘀 Got an awesome offer but something between “this is brilliant” and “where are the buyers?” isn't quite clicking? Liisa puts on her Funnel Detective hat and helps uncover the leaks costing you clients. No hype. No guru scripts. No BS. Just figuring out what's actually happening and what to do next. 🐉 𝗗𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗼𝗻 𝗕𝗼𝗮𝘁 𝗦𝗸𝗼𝗼𝗹 Yep, plot twist. Liisa is ALSO a Team USA paddler and coach! This free community connects dragon boaters, helps them build their skills, and gives access to the USDBF Steering Certification program with former Team USA coaches Liisa Reimann + Joann Fegley. AND... Those of you who were at yesterday's Power Mingle may have caught a little leak about something ELSE Liisa has brewing... 👀🤐 Could there possibly be a third community coming? I'm not spilling it. 😂 For now, help me congratulate @Liisa Reimann on reaching Level 7 and earning her place in the Spotlight! 🌈🌟 Go check out her communities, show her some love, and keep an 👀 out for whatever she's cooking up next. Congratulations, Liisa!! 🎉🔥

SUPER EXCITED!! I wrote my 1st Children's book with AI and uploaded it to KDP on Amazon -all within 24 hours? BUT ...it didn't seem real UNTIL-- I got a copy in my hands!! In Color! In print! It arrived today!! I was giddy - I must admit! I made a video showing it off-- and the colors on the pages-- just seeing it ...made it REAL! So- I also decided to launch a brand new BookifAI app to help others do the same thing!! You can write and illustrate your 1st book for free with AI to test it out!! ➡️NEED YOUR HELP!! I NEED REAL REVIEWS!! Who would be willing to get the book, or kindle (priced low for only $2.99) give me honest review? AND--OR Share it with others that you know with kids? I need help to share with other parents/grandparents of 8 year old girls- to get some Amazon movement! 😃 So they will push it to more people to see (in this category) If anyone is in any moms' groups or skools that may be interested in this kind of Inspiring Story collection for 8 year old girls... love a share! The Light Inside Her by Sondra Verva "Every girl deserves to know how brave, capable, and wonderful she truly is. The Light Inside Her is a collection of ten inspiring short stories that show girls a powerful secret: courage isn't the absence of fear — it's doing the brave thing anyway. Meet ten unforgettable girls who face the same worries real children feel. Maya freezes at the top of a climbing wall. Priya almost hides her painting because it isn't "good enough." Zoe's robot won't work, no matter how hard she tries. Nia dreams of the stars, even when someone tells her she can't. One by one, each girl finds her courage, her kind heart, and her voice — and the strength that was inside her all along. Each story ends with three gentle tools to help your daughter grow: • A Mindset Message with a takeaway she'll remember • Four Reflection Questions to connect the story to her own life • A Mini Challenge- one small action that turns the lesson into a real-life win

If you’ve been thinking about joining Katya McEwen’s Oracle Connections community, this is the moment. She’s fighting for a top finish in the Skool Games, and every new member, every comment, and every bit of engagement matters. There is very little time left!! I’ve learned so much from watching how she builds community, and it’s made me a better community owner because of it. The bonuses she’s offering right now are incredible. I think you’ll be absolutely flabbergasted by everything included. Go support her. Learn from someone doing it at a very high level. And help push her across the finish line.
