Do you know your assets from your liabilities? Are you rolling in profit or mismanaging your credit cards? Do you actually know how much you’re spending each month?
Welcome to Master Your Money
As I mentioned in 10 Things Suitcase Entrepreneurs Should Know This Spring I’ve bought on personal finance non-guru guru Manisha Thakor to set the record straight on how to gain control of your financial freedom in a non technical, non complex way.
That’s right pure back to basics, down to earth, tell it like is it finance advice from the super bubbly, highly likeable and very knowledgeable Manisha Thakor, founder of the Women’s Financial Literacy Initiative.
Manisha is a co-author of two critically acclaimed personal finance books: ON MY OWN TWO FEET and GET FINANCIALLY NAKED and she’s been featured in national media including The New York Times,Forbes, Glamour, Real Simple, NPR, CNN, CNBC, and The Rachael Ray Show.
Money and earning more of it is a hot topic for so many of us – both personally and professionally and that’s why we will be conducting a monthly Q&A video interview where she will provide personal finance answers to your questions as well as inspiration to aspiring Suitcase Entrepreneurs.
Finance 101 – Knowing Your Net Worth
In this first interview Manisha lets rip on what her pet peeve is when it comes to women and finances plus takes you through a step by step approach you can take right now to figure out your financial standing – i.e how much you’re really worth!
All you need is pen and paper. Snap to it.

What’s the problem?
Education is not yet universal. Of the 130 million youth who are not in school worldwide, 70 percent are girls. Yet less than two cents of every development dollar goes to girls. The benefits of girls’ education are the answer to the global problems we face today. Learn more here https://www.shesthefirst.org/get-the-facts/.
How can you make a difference?
GIRLS WHO ROCK supports She’s the First, a not-for-profit that sponsors girls’ education in the
developing world. She’s the First works with everyday change-makers (like you!) to fundraise for girls’ sponsorships, using the power of their creativity and the reach of their online and offline social networks. For sponsors, She’s the First builds community, leadership opportunities, and a sense of global citizenship. For underprivileged girls, a sponsorship is life-changing: Most will be the first in their families to graduate. They will make groundbreaking achievements, big and small, that will better our word.
Where does the money you help raise go?
100% of the money raised on CauseVox (minus the standard PayPal fee) will go directly toward the girls’ sponsorships at the Arlington Academy of Hope in Uganda. For full detail on what an individual sponsorship provides, visit shesthefirst.org or girlswhorock.org/cause
Go on – donate to the future of our world today!
