Season greetings and welcome to my entry for this week's engagement from this wonderful community where we get to share our ideas on what we prefer between having a job or a business. If you are reading this, please do well to leave your thoughts in the comments.
How do you manage your monthly budget in a job or Business? |
---|
Be it in a Job or Business, managing our monthly budget is important because if we can effectively do that, then we can attain financial freedom. Controlling how we spend or use our finances properly makes us responsible humans and at the same time gives us control over our finances.
Therefore how do I manage or how can we manage our monthly budget effectively? To that, we will have to;
Keeping Records of Our Income and Expenses:
Keeping records of the money we earn and the money we spend will help us know where and where we are spending our money and give us an idea of areas where we can make amends.
Setting our Financial Goals:
This means having an idea of what we want to achieve finance-wise. It could be saving to buy something good in life, paying a debt, or even investing in a business. Having a clear idea of what we want to do and at what time we will do it can guide us to make good financial goals.
Creating our Budget:
Making plans on how to allocate our income is another great way of using our monthly budget effectively. To do this, we need to make a list of our income in the month on one side, and on the other side, list out all our expenses like rent, utilities, groceries, transportation, miscellaneous, and not forgetting savings then assign specific amounts or percentage of your income to them based on how much we need them and our financial goals.

Prioritizing our Expenses:
We will need to differentiate between what we need and want, using a scale of preference method to cut out the not-so-necessary expenses while covering our vital expenses like rent, bills, and groceries first.
Reviewing to Adjust:
This involves us reviewing our budget regularly to see if it's working for us as we need to adapt to our budget accordingly. Meaning we can make adjustments if needed to ensure that our budget remains practical and aligned with our goals.
Skill or Education what is important for getting a handsome Job or running a successful business? |

Both Skills and Education are important for getting a handsome Job or running a successful Business. They both contribute to us in both cases in different ways. Lemme explain to you how.
Education:
Going to school and getting a degree or certification in a specific field can help us learn important things and show our employers that we are knowledgeable.
Skills:
Along with education, these days, we must have practical skills that are relevant to different jobs or even to the job we want, this includes skills like being good with computers, being a good communicator, and being able to solve problems as these skills go hand-in-hand with education to carry out our duties effectively.
Education:
To be educated in business involves getting to know a lot about the industry we are in, knowing what our customers want from us, and keeping up with what other businesses are doing, to which, knowledge is needed and we get that from education or experience.
Skills:
To run a business, we need different skill sets to make us good at making decisions, solving different problems, managing our money, and getting people interested in what we are offering or selling.
Do you want to become a Boss or A Successful Businessman? |
---|
Who said becoming a boss and being a successful businessman can not go hand in hand?
Being a boss means that we must have the ability and responsibility to manage a team or a business, but then, for anyone to be a successful businessman, the person has to run a business that is doing well and making positive impacts around his environment.
Therefore, we can say that a successful businessman is a boss on his own, over his business, which involves him making important decisions, managing his team, and working hard to make his business grow. Therefore, I can say a businessman can be a boss and a boss can also be a successful businessman.
Successful story of your preference Job or Business? |
---|
I've seen small businesses grow up to be corporate businesses and limited companies from scratch. A good example is the story of Mr Humble, who started his business as a provision store seller with just Stalk, today owns the biggest Supermarket here in Akenfa, coupled with several branches scattered around the entire Yenegoa city.
This is the story of someone who started as a small provision seller in a stalk but with determination has grown a business empire for himself.
I wish to invite @ninapenda, @ruthjoe, and @suboohi to share their preference with us.
Thank You for your Time
NOTE: Always have a smile on your face, as you are never fully dressed without one.
Regards,
It is very important to adjust the budget with our income and prioritize the products that are in peak demand, to avoid unnecessary expenses. Your budget strategy is great. I have noticed that with education one can acquire skills quickly if one works hard. So it can be said that education and skills are the keys to quick success. No matter how small we start, we can grow quickly if our goals are right. As in your success story.

Absolutely, budgeting is key to managing our finances and avoiding unnecessary expenses. Education and skills play a vital role in achieving success. With hard work and the right goals, we can grow quickly. Thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate your kindness.
Keeping recording of all income and expenditure will help one to know how much he or she has spent, and how much is left to be spend. This is the reason why companies hire accountant to handle such taxes because of how important it is.
Both skill and education play a vital role in landing someone to his or her dream job or business. I prefer having both than just one.
Indeed, the hard-work and humble begining of Mr Humble, has paid him so well sir. Good entry from you and success to you.
Thanks for reaching out. You're absolutely right about keeping track of our income and expenses. It helps us know how much we've spent and how much we still have left. That's why companies hire accountants to handle taxes and finances because it's super important.

¡Holaaa amigo!🤗
La educación y las habilidades siempre están agarraditas de la mano porque son hermanas y, cuando nos encontramos de nutrirlas a ambas por igual, garantizamos nuestro éxito por lo tanto, separar a una de la otra sería un terrible error.
Te deseo mucho éxito en la dinámica, un fuerte abrazo💚
Hey friend! 🤗
I couldn't agree more with you. Education and skills are like sisters, always going hand in hand. When we give them equal attention and nurture them both, we set ourselves up for success. Trying to separate them would be a big mistake. So let's keep embracing both education and skills on our journey to success. Wishing you loads of success too and I am sending you a big hug back 💚
