Coaching Moment #179 Freedom or Independence… Pick One

Coaching Moments used to be exclusively for my coaching clients and Champions members. We've now opened them up to share them with you via this blog. Coaching Moments are shared each Friday and meant to encourage you on your path to greater enjoyment and/or success- whatever you happen to be reaching for.

Today pick either Freedom or Independence and think about what it means to you. What 3 freedoms do you most appreciate in your life?

Keep a daily money log of all money being spent (that includes your morning or afternoon coffee). At the end of the month review expenses. Cut or downgrade some of the costs.
