Never give up on my call, working and pushing, and I'm not going to stop till it's gold.

I know I think and grow.

Hello there on my think and grow chicks.

This is Courtney, the founder of think and growchick.com.

And today I'm back with another podcast on how to have

more time and more money. So this was something I was inspired to write a blog post about and do a

podcast about because I think that time management and money management are probably the two greatest things

that today's average go-geting woman struggles with, you know?

And I think it has a lot to do with us just wanting so much and not figuring out how to balance

it all.

And that's what I'm going to talk to you all about today. So I've gotten a lot

better with managing time and money, but of course I'm not perfect. And I'm still on a

journey just like you. And I'm always looking at ways to balance, balance that even better and

manage that even better. So I noticed that for a few weeks, I kept saying things to

myself like, oh, if I only had more time, if I only had more money, then I could really do

this. Or if I only had more time, then I could really do this. And it's so funny when you say

things like that to yourself, I'm sure you can relate, because you're always just like, if I could just have a little bit more, you know, you don't walk around saying to yourself like, oh man, if I just had a million dollars, or if I just had a billion dollars, or if I just had, you know, 40 hours of just complete time during the day to do what I want to do, we always just want just a little more than what we had. If I just, oh, if I just could get just another hour a day, then I could just really do what I want to do. Or, ooh, if I could just make another $100 a week, that would just, ooh, that would just give me the space that I needed to do to do whatever it is that I want to do. And the thing about that, though, I think if we think about it and we're honest, we would say that no matter how much money or how much time we had. And I know this because I remember when I was in college and I look back at it now and I'm like, man, I had time during the day. You know, I would go to class and I have a two hour break here, an hour and a half break there. But when I was in school, I felt like I never had enough time and I for sure didn't have enough money. So I used to say all the time, man, I cannot wait to graduate. And I just get a regular nine to five job where I don't have to do term papers and all

this stuff. I'll be making more money. Just make just $20 a week. If I could just give my mom to

send me an extra $30 a week, my life would be so much better. If I could just take one less class

and just have one more day off during the week, then everything would be great.

But now that I've graduated from school and I no longer have term papers to write and I do have a 9 to 5 job that, you know, pays a regular paycheck every two weeks, I'm still saying the same things. I'm still like, oh my goodness, if I just didn't have this 9 to 5 job and I was just working for myself doing what I really wanted to do, then I would be able to do X, Y, and Z.

Or if I was just making this much money out of my business, then I'd be able to do whatever.
