That is why they are so important. So they are<br />

also personal: because we all have different<br />

needs and goals.<br />

To apply those tools, you must enter into a<br />

planning process, which helps us to know our<br />

current financial situation, determine our goals<br />

and objectives and to develop strategies that will<br />

guide us toward achieving those goals.<br />

Left office recently CFO of Super Dry brand in<br />

London, to declare bankruptcy; that is, who he<br />

ran a company with a turnover of around 585<br />

million euros was unable to properly carry its<br />

economy. How many Mexican executives they<br />

will be going something similar? There are few.<br />

This phenomenon has surprised all the time<br />

despite having outstanding expertise in finance<br />

and know how to manage a business, many fall<br />

in domestic problems to the degree of collapse.<br />

Any financial problem can be<br />

corrected here are some tips.<br />

1. Educate<br />

Take the time to educate yourself about various<br />

personal finance topics. Agenda appointments<br />

'money' each week on yourself and spend a few<br />

hours in managing your personal finances and<br />

read books, magazines, websites or blogs<br />

finances. The more you know about your own<br />

finances, the more confidence you will have to<br />

manage your money in the long run.<br />

If you need more help, consider hiring a<br />

financial coach who can help you understand<br />

your situation in terms of the money and create<br />

a financial plan to help you achieve your goals.<br />

2. Check your credit regularly<br />

Your credit report is like a file about you and<br />

your credit history. Basically it tells lenders how<br />

risky are and whether or not to lend you money. When<br />

it comes to buying a car or a house, you want your credit<br />

report is in top form, so you can qualify for good rates.<br />

Take the habit of checking your history at least once a<br />

year to confirm that everything is correct. Do it on a<br />

special date (such as your birthday) so that makes you<br />

easy to remember and maintain monitoring. You can<br />

access your history in places such as the Credit Bureau.<br />

3. Hits a budget<br />

Although this sounds very basic, many<br />

entrepreneurs do not have an estimate as to<br />

monitor your monthly income and expenses.<br />

You can use online systems like mint.com to<br />

monitor your personal finances or simply an<br />

Excel document. No matter which one you<br />

choose, make sure it works for you and your<br />

lifestyle.<br />

If you really want to fix your finances and stay<br />

ahead financially, you should devote time and<br />

energy to update your budget each week. This<br />

will help ensure you do not spend more than you<br />

earn and that you are able to save for your<br />

financial goals.<br />

4. Automates your finances<br />

He technology facilitates managing finances<br />

every day. Set your finances so that most of the<br />

process is automatic. You can use automatic<br />

online transfers or pay your bills online each<br />

month. This will help you not stress about<br />

paying your bills on time and earn interest or<br />

extra fees.<br />

If you're worried automate paying your bills,<br />

then you can do is to set alarms on your calendar<br />

(on your computer or smartphone) that remind<br />

you of payments. The more you can automate<br />

your finances, you'll have fewer worries daily.<br />
