Claire said; “Getting in control of your wealth is the single most important thing you can do to secure your own future, yet so many of us wait for a profound life event to jolt us into action. There’s no need to wait until something or someone forces your hand. I don’t want anybody wasting their life waiting for a rich husband or a lottery win! Putting your financial security in the hands of anyone else is not worth the heartache and women these days deserve to celebrate the success they’ve worked so hard for, and secure their finances so that they never need to worry. AND NEW FLASH… You don’t have to live by candlelight and eat economy-baked beans to get there! It’s time for us to stop telling ourselves we’re no good with money and get stuck in.”

“My mission isn’t that of a typical financial adviser. I don’t want to tell women what to do; I want to hold their hand whilst they do it.”

Here are Claire’s five top tips for helping your money to grow….

1. Don’t be an Ostrich! Start by getting your head out of the ground and facing your money problems head on! What we don’t deal with today will only deal with us tomorrow.

2. Start by Journaling Your Money Mindset - This helps you understand the very core of your attitudes, fears and hopes about finance…. and then helps you to maintain the really healthy habits and knock the negative ones out the park!

3. Get the Foundations Right – It’s important to get the foundations right; making your money work hardest for you by assessing everything from your earnings and outgoings to the way you manage your tax, to savings, investments, and even credit… and employing the services of a financial adviser as and when you need to.

4. Money Goals - Create your money goals and then take practical everyday action to prioritise them!

5. Set-up Your Spending Pots - this sounds like the most basic financial lesson of all, and it’s so simple, but by carving out necessities from niceties and niceties from dream funds, you ensure you can live in peace knowing your everyday commitments are taken care of, and anything else carries a no-guilt price tag.
