Description
The Money-Smart course is about maximizing the quality of your life. Our course will improve your knowledge and skills in all 4 key pillars of personal finance: Spending, borrowing, investing, and risk management. Even more importantly it will teach you how to apply this knowledge so you can go from just having good intentions to actually changing your behaviour.
Money isn’t the only thing that matters, but it does matter to all of us, a lot. Managing your money can be hard, but the Money-Smart program makes it easy. We are constantly having to make financial decisions. They can seem so complicated, and often we get conflicting advice. It can be frustrating, and everything ends up being harder than it should be.
Welcome to something different!
The Money-Smart program creates long-term results through habit and behaviour change, not by forcing you to follow some drastic cookie cutter financial rules. This is not a temporary fix, there is some serious psychology and financial education behind it. This program will change the way you think about your finances, it will change your relationship with money.
Built on psychology, Money-Smart focuses on your brain, not your budget. Because you don’t manage money. It’s not about crunching numbers or learning to be good at math. You manage your behaviours and the choices you make about money. When you learn why you make the money choices you do, it’s that much easier to design workarounds and hacks to reduce your money mistakes and make better habits for life. Getting better with money will change your life forever.
The great news is that the Money-Smart program is not a generic, one plan fits all, program. This program customizes its advice and approach to fit your lifestyle, your needs, and your goals. When you take control of your money you can live life to the fullest without having to sacrifice.
No one is perfect and with your personal finance decisions you don’t have to be. We all make money mistakes. The Money-Smart tools and training gives you motivation when you need it, and the confidence to make the right decisions to get you back on track. No more feeling money shame and the desire to avoid thinking about money.
Money-Smart knowledge can be mastered by anyone. It’s within your reach if you are willing to learn and open to being challenged in your preconceived financial beliefs. This course is not about theories and textbook best practices. It provides life-changing thoughts and specific actionable financial advice from real world situations that you will encounter.
