I se weekends as an opportunity to:

- Recharge

- Learn

- Sirens time with loved ones

- Explore new things and places

Use your time for things that help you level up and feel amazing about yourself

Achieving big things in life is possible!!

You simply need to create a big, tangible yet challenging plan

Break it down into smaller more manageable steps

Next:

✅Track

✅Adjust

✅Course correct

I find that often is not that people don’t have time to do what makes a difference…

Mostly they haven’t realised yet - what they actually care about and what will make their tomorrow better than today

Every day you should wake up and challenge yourself to the following

“How can I go to bed tonight a better person than I was yesterday?”

You change a little every day - the compounding will transform you into someone you can’t recognise in not so distant future

Have you ever considered a Payday Loan?

These can help at times when no alternative is available however you must watch out of the astronomical costs these types of loans have

Mane sure to clear it as a priority!!!

People say they are waiting for the next big market dip to buy cheap shares only up until the dip happens

Next - everyone turn experts and say “this time things are not the same as before”

And so the cycle keeps going on as some people are looking for that perfect opportunity

People start a side hustles and abandon these in couple of weeks

Their view - “This clearly doesn’t work as I haven’t seen any results yet”

Any idea to become profitable takes time and dedication

Start by asking yourself - “What value can I add?”

Do this and money will follow

Anyone can become wealthy. It does require you to make certain choices and take action

- create a goal and start tracking your progress

- create a budget

- make your money work for you - invest, buy assets

- create virtual property - YouTube channel, social media, blog

Some tips for those looking to #invest into #dividend stocks

👇👇👇

🇬🇧 stock market is full of great dividend paying companies

FTSE100 is the index of 100 biggest UK listed companies based on their Market Cap

Large proportion of these companies are worldwide known with their goods and services available in households all over the globe

Below is a list of 10 companies known for their consistent dividend increase policy

Unilever ($ULVR) - Consumer goods

Diageo ($DGE) - Beverages

GlaxoSmithKline ($GSK) - Pharmaceuticals

AstraZeneca ($AZN) - Pharmaceuticals

British American Tobacco ($BATS) - Tobacco

BHP Group ($BHP) - Mining

Royal Dutch Shell ($RDSB) - Oil and Gas

Rio Tinto ($RIO) - Mining

HSBC Holdings ($HSBA) - Banking and Finance

Vodafone Group ($VOD) - Telecommunications

It is however worth keeping in mind - past performance is not a guarantee of future results

Before investing into any of these:

- make your own research

- consider companies financial situation and market trends

- consider share price performance on top of dividends paid

People always look for way to make extra #money

One of the easiest ways I personally found - cashback websites

You keep your online shopping habits as they are and get paid for doing so
