49: Money Momentum and Strategy with Haneen Ahmad
Money Momentum and Strategy
Getting started on a money journey can be tricky. But maintaining a strategy with your money? Now, that takes planning. Haneen Ahmad, a Washington therapist, joined me on the podcast to share how she's built a rhythm with her finances by checking in with what works for her. For her, it means having a strategy for the bookkeeping side (she loves Profit First) AND having a strategy for the mindset and momentum side (she’s a member of the Co-Muse-ity, an online money community for womxn, founded by past Millionaire Monday feature, Stephanie Xenos!).
By working with both sides of her relationship with money, she's created a system that works for her and also feels fun.
