I love when someone pays attention to me, don’t you?  Well, money is the same way.  Money likes to be shown the attention and respect it deserves.

So what happens when you ignore money? Not sure what I mean? Jot down the answer to these couple of questions and keep them in mind as you keep reading:

• Do you pay your bills on time?
• Do you allow clients to waffle on agreements and pay you late?
• Have you developed a budget and stuck to it?

Well, unless you answered positively to all of the above questions you’re more than likely ignoring money and asking it to leave you alone.

Here are two quick tips for paying attention to money so that it doesn’t find a negative way of getting your attention.

1.  Stick To A Budget and Pay Your Bills On Time

When you develop a clear budget you give money the attention it deserves.  First, you have a clear understanding of your current financial situation and second you now are in a position to establish a saving and spending plan based on a full and complete awareness of what you make.

Once you can see the big picture it is vital that you pay your bills on time every month.

Paying your bills late or inconsistently is scarcity behavior and does nothing except to perpetuate that feeling.  Instead, pay each bill on time, at the same time every month.

2.  Always Focus on Value

People love to say the economy is the reason their business isn’t thriving.  But the fact is, your clients will buy from you IF you provide them with valuable information, services and programs that meet the needs that effect them most.

There are a limitless, ok maybe not limitless, but there are at least 10 ways that you can provide new value to your clients and when you do they will be happy to purchase from you.

It’s your job be creative and introduce these new innovative programs, products or services to them.

So, get your thinking caps on!
