Can you believe it? We only have two more sleeps until 2022! 

Typically, I’d be visiting family and finding every craft and Lego in our house to keep our kids busy over this holiday week.

This year, I decided to do something I’ve never done before…

I’m using this time to unwind and give myself the white space I need in order to create something incredible for 2022. [Pics will come next week of my time here on Cape Cod — or check out my Instagram stories in the meantime.]

And one of the things that I’m making space for is finding more valuable media opportunities. 

So with that in mind, I reconnected with my friend Christina Nicholson, a former TV reporter and anchor plus a current online contributor to a dozen media outlets. 

The PDF she shared with me definitely got me into action with so many ideas of how to create a bigger impact via guest posting in 2022 — and I want that for you too!

My incredible husband Marc pulled it off!

Marc brought together our family, friends, and clients/ students from around the country in person and on zoom last weekend to celebrate my 50th (gulp) birthday.

It was a total blast — and yes I was surprised! 

Did I have a clue *something* was happening?

Just a little — but I guessed they decorated the house with 50 balloons and then we were going out to dinner and staying overnight at a hotel in Boston and then brunch the next day. 

I so didn’t realize it was happening when my mom even packed a bag to watch the kids that night and I was debriefing my mom on how to take care of the kids while we were out! 

Somehow our kids knew and kept the secret. And so many people were so willing to do this safely and got tested ahead of time.

I felt so loved and touched that so many amazing people are in my life and showed up to celebrate the day I was born, including several getting here from California, New York, and Texas.

This surprised me…

by Belinda Rosenblum

Whoa — it’s December!

How the heck did that happen??

As we end 2021, I’m curious how 2021 has been for you.

Personally, I know I had hoped that 2021 would rebound to pre-2020 energy, growth, and travel.

But with all the masks, restrictions, and underlying fear (of catching the virus), it just hasn’t felt like that.

And in the business, I have been more gentle and given myself some grace to not grow at our same record-setting paces.

How is the year going for you?

When I asked our Instagram audience, at first the poll showed most had “Learned A Lot!” this year, which told me that they were getting the lessons but not as much growth.

But by the end of 24 hours, it evened out to 50/50. (Wild it was exactly even!)

Here’s the deal. I’m gonna level with you.⁠ ⁠

You work way too hard to be this stressed about money.

If you don’t take any different actions, every day you are farther away from:

  • Earning the money you deserve 
  • Keeping more of the money you’re making 
  • Paying off your high interest debt faster 
  • Saving what is possible given your earnings, and finally, yes FINALLY, 
  • Getting yourself on the track to real financial security, stability, and safety. 

Each time you tell yourself, “I’ll do it tomorrow”, “I’m too busy,” or “I’m scared of what I’ll see”, you end up lying to yourself and postponing your chances of having plenty of money in retirement — or even having plenty in 2022.

It’s your time to let go of your money stress and shame and instead live with a whole new level of money confidence and clarity. 

And the YOUR BEST MONEY YEAR EVER bundle will walk you through a proven, step-by-step path to escaping high-interest debt, kickstarting that cushy nest egg, and setting yourself up with a powerful positive approach to all things money. 

Our students often find an extra $500 – $1000 every month that they can save (or earn) when they finally take the steps they have been putting off.

So in 1 year, if you do nothing, you actually just said “No, thank you” to $6000 – $12k. That’s a downpayment on a car you’re missing out on!

Oh and please know, when I teach personal finance, I’m not encouraging scrimping and scarcity. 

Instead, I encourage earning what the value of your expertise / services is (so you’ll raise your rates or ask for that raise) and spend on your values not just spending to make you feel better in the moment or wasting money on old subscriptions you have been meaning to cancel.
