The fact is, I treat credit the way I would treat fire or a sharp blade. Used correctly, it is an amazing tool. Handled mindlessly, and you have a possible fatality ahead.<br /><br />
Even Jesus recognized that we are IN this world, even if as Christians - we are not considered citizens of this world. <br /><br />
John 17:15-16 “ I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one.They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.”<br /><br />
To function in this world today, especially in the USA, ignoring credit or becoming ‘credit invisible’ will make prosperity and wealth more challenging to grasp and enjoy. <br /><br />
Impossible? No! But, why dig a trench with your hands when a shovel or backhoe would do a better job?<br /><br /><br /><u>Caveat #1:</u> The content presented here is for educational purposes and to raise awareness and should not be considered legal or financial advice.<br /><br /><br /><u>Caveat #2:</u> Check the banks you hold credit cards with. Especially some secured credit cards are locked to the limit of your secured deposit with no room for expansion or interest rate change no matter how good your payment behavior. If you have any of those, upgrade to the more flexible options as soon as you establish an improvement in your credit score.<br /><br /><br /><u>Caveat #3:</u> 5 of the 7 hacks mentioned are open to small business owners only.<br /><br /><br />
<h4>
Hack #1: This Credit Utilization Strategy May Increase Credit Limit</h4>
<br />
This single strategy has earned diligent followers the gift of unrequested, credit limit increase repeatedly through the life of the card. I have personally enjoyed this and so has my clients. I have noticed that banks seem especially willing to reward you with unsolicited higher spending limits during the Christmas holidays.<br /><br />
When the limit is increased, so is the 30% spending threshold. For example; if you have a $1000 credit limit and you keep your balance at or below $300, if the bank increases your credit limit to $5000, you can now spend $1500 or less and still be maintaining a 30% or less credit utilization.<br /><br />
Having access to more funds to spend, while maintaining a healthy credit utilization is my favorite wealth expansion hack and worthy of the #1 spot.<br /><br /><br />
<h4>
Hack #2: Have Your Cake and Eat it Too! The Recycle Money Strategy</h4>
<br />
Got paid? Other than the funds for car and mortgage payment, or anything that won’t take credit as a form of payment, send the rest of your paycheck to pay down your debt. Then, use the newly reloaded credit card to buy stuff. I explain this strategy in more detail in <a href="https://amzn.to/2O3rjtv" target="_blank">my Best Seller book, CASHercise.</a> This hack ensures you pay more than the required credit card payment minimum and you look like a #CreditBoss to the credit card company. Yep! You guessed it! The recycle strategy tends to make you seem worthy of credit limit extensions, which loops you back into Hack #1.<br /><br />
OK, so the following hacks are limited to business owners, but I am sure a bunch of you reading this are, or eventually will be. So if you are not a business owner (or one yet), enjoy hacks #1 and #2, or be inspired to start a business and use these next hacks to help you build more wealth.<br /><br /><br />
<h4>
Hack #3: Build a Business Credit Profile</h4>
<br />
Trust me. The effort is worth it. Most entrepreneurs and startups use personal credit and loans from family and friends to fund their new business adventure. The first 5 years are the most investment intensive years and profitability is rare, so rare, <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/financial-edge/1010/top-6-reasons-new-businesses-fail.aspx">the SBA says 50% of startups fail in this timeline.</a> This is because of the availability of urgent funding to ride this cash-intensive time dries up really quickly. Personal credit tanks and the ability to continue cash flowing your business grinds to a halt.<br /><br />UNLESS…<br />You make the effort to build business credit.<br /><br />
It does take time and you do often start your business credit profile on the shoulder of your personal credit, but eventually - your FEIN will replace all needs to enter your SS# as your business develops that financial persona that it already legally holds.<br /><br />
Banks tend to offer higher credit limits to businesses even though the same owner would have either been denied or offered significantly fewer limits on the personal credit side. I teach this process and show you how to get started here. If you have $5K-$10K to throw at this process, I also have a resource to help you build a business credit profile that opens up $50K, $100K and more in credit lines in a 6 month to one year window (results not guaranteed but very doable).<br /><br />
One of the benefits of business ownership is the corporate veil. That veil protects our home and private assets should the company fail. However, buying things with personal funds for the business or using business funds for personal assets pierces the corporate veil and exposes your family to corporate lawsuits. Building business credit and using business credit for credit purchases for your business is wiser than continuing to use personal funds and exposing your family to future lawsuits and losses.<br /><br /><br />
<h4>
Hack #4: Apply for credit where you shop most</h4>
So this may be a Duhhhh! I already knew that concept - but for the record, I mean apply for business credit where you shop most. This is where guidance is useful. Not knowing the minimum criteria your supplier is looking for to offer credit may have you applying to a sure rejection. However, clearly - if where your business shops most offer you credit, you just freed up your cash flow and can restock your inventory and have more opportunities for increased sales.<br />
<br /><br />
<h4>
<b>Hack #5: Offer credit to your customers and report them if they don’t pay as agreed</b></h4>
<br />
This is a sweet tip that honestly, you should be paying me for. However, I am banking on your ability to see I give value whenever you connect with me - even remotely, and for free - that a seed is planted for you to connect with me when you do need the services I offer.<br /><br />
How many more sales could you make if you offer credit to your clients? Now, before you worry that they will not pay you if you set your business up to report their payment history, there is a good chance they will stick closely to the agreement. If you connect with me, I can help you decide if this option is a fit for your business, and how to go about setting that up.<br /><br /><br /><br />
<h4>
<b>Hack #6: Use credit to track taxable write-offs</b></h4>
<br />
So this is more of time is money hack. If you save time, you save money. <br /><br />
We all know that having a business gives us the opportunity to acquire business supplies and write many of those off annually. Where most of us get in trouble is, data tracking and proving our expenses. While your new business is growing, the owner and their handful of supporting helpers wear many hats and often, things fall through the cracks.<br />
<br />
If you use a company credit card to purchase company-related expenses, your data and record-keeping for write-offs is much easier at tax time. No more shoeboxes of thermal paper fading receipts that you need to manually enter. Maximize your write-offs by having your business credit keep track of business expenses for you.<br />
<br />
The fact that the expense is on the business card also makes it a business expense, especially if you use hack # 6 with hack #7.<br /><br /><br /><br />
<h4>
<b>Hack #7: Increase your business perks before you give yourself a raise</b></h4>
<br />
So, we have all heard that President Trump only takes a $1 paycheck. In fact, this is not new - many Corporate Executives appear broke on paper or take a $1 paycheck while living an obviously luxurious lifestyle.<br /><br />
This is a hack of enjoying company perks on the company’s dime.<br /><br />
Need a new car? Before you buy one with personal credit and funds, let the business buy it and drive a company-funded car. You have the car, but your personal assets would say you own none. I am no lawyer, so be sure to check with your lawyer here because if you ever file for divorce, your soon to be Ex could claim you pierced the corporate veil if you do not do this hack right. Before you give yourself an income raise and increase your personal tax bracket, if you are the business owner, consider adding corporate lifestyle perks first.<br /><br />
You will not be the first business to own a vacation cottage, boat or other lifestyle perks that you get to enjoy without the personal cost or liability. <br /><br />
Just a reminder, you can buy nicer things for less money with excellent credit! For example, one of my clients pays more for her used Kia than my son pays for his BMW. If you are ready to put your financial house in order and build your business credit, connect with me. As I mentioned, initially, your personal credit will be scrutinized as you start to build your business credit profile and we can help you with that as well.<br /><br />Prosperity is not entitled but it is within reach.

<span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: Arial,'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;">Over the years he has shouted to the in-house and online congregation to <span style="font-style: italic;">'send a seed of $1000 or more and the Lord will reward you 110 fold' </span>(paraphrased). Now, in his late 60's, Benny Hinn is spending his time recanting this doctrine. <a href="https://www.christiantoday.com/article/my-teachings-damaged-a-lot-of-people-says-benny-hinn/133198.htm" target="_blank" title="">Please see more in this 9-12-2019 article published in <span style="font-style: italic;">Christian Today.</span></a></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: Arial,'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: Arial,'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;">This
'name it and claim it' 'Prosperity Gospel' has enough truth in it to
'fool the elect, if possible'; but it flies in the face of Jesus's
encounter with the widow who cast her two mites into the offering plate.
She did not have $1000 to seed her fantastic future, but some in the
audience did - and here is what Jesus said in Mark 12:41-44, "And he
called his disciples to him and said to them, <span style="font-style: italic;">“Truly,
I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are
contributing to the offering box. For they all contributed out of their
abundance, but she out of her poverty"</span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: Arial,'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: Arial,'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;">The
problem I had with this camp is the focus was on sending money to these
Preachers as the way to cast 'seed'. The following promise of the
harvest was for doing as they asked. I do believe that anything I ask in
the name of Jesus, believing it - I can have it. That is NOT the same
as sending money to a specific preacher of a specific amount and
expecting a direct correlation between that giving experience and the
returns promised.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: Arial,'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: Arial,'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;">I
believe the Lord will prompt seed giving and you will feel that urge to
give in your heart and it may be to a random person, to your family
member, and yes - maybe to your Pastor. However, that prompting is Holy
Spirit driven, not pulpit shouted.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: Arial,'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: Arial,'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;">I
also have said repeatedly that prosperity is NOT entitled (a key
component of the 'Prosperity Gospel' movement). However, I do advocate
that prosperity IS within reach. We need to position ourselves for God's
favor by being in His will for our lives, tithing, and work! Yes! I
said that horrid four-letter word, W-O-R-K.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: Arial,'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: Arial,'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;">Work
and planting seed go hand in hand. The Bible's favorite analogy is the
Farmer, the talk of weeds, the God-controlled aspect after planting
(weather, etc) and then the fact that a harvest can be 30, 60, 100 fold
when the seed falls on good soil.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: Arial,'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: Arial,'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;">I
have worked hard to differentiate myself from the 'Prosperity Gospel'
bunch. I am so glad that Benny Hinn has heard the Holy Spirit's
correction and has become obedient to the re-direction of his audience.</span></span></div>

<br />
Impulse, perishable, and depreciating purchases deplete wealth potential. Yet - we do it all the time then cry "BROKE!"<br />

Living above your means is never wise and until we absorb this beyond just intellectual information, things will change. Change for the worse.<br />

Budgeting is an important life skill and budgeting will show you exactly how much money is assigned to each planned purchase you intend to make.<br />
<br />
Most people I have met hate to budget even when they know they should and wish they would. I realized that the word budget, just even saying it - creates the feeling of imprisonment. Working within a contained limit. It truly is a pathetic word for the effort made.<br />
<br />
That is why I choose to refer to this experience as a SPENDING PLAN!<br />

<b>Where do you stack up against the average?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
$5,700 is relatively easy to pay off. The thing to remember is - this is an AVERAGE! There are some who are tracking in at $50K+ in debt, and some in these statistics with $100 in debt. The higher your debt, the harder and longer it will take to pay down, but if this is your goal - read on.</div>

<b>7 Easy Debt Deleting Strategies</b></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>1.</b> Dana, one of my former clients who did a workshop with me to save her $1000 Emergency Cash Stash found $100 in coins to start her saving account. You can too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Go through every purse, jeans pocket, the sofa cushions, your kid's toy bins, and so on and collect all the coins you find. Some banks have a coin for cash exchange machine. Wells Fargo, where I bank asks that I bring the coins in already rolled - but they will accept coins. I found coin sleeves in my local Dollar Store. However, there are coins for cash exchange that will, for a small fee, give you paper bills in exchange for your coins. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>2.</b> As you collect change from spending activities, add them to a jar and when the jar is full, exchange that for paper bills as well. The bigger the bill the bigger the emotional charge to break it on trivial expenses, so go for the Benjamins.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>3.</b> Sell the extras - and trust me, you have extras. My daughter regularly sells her one-time worn, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
'I- will-never- be- seen- in- this- outfit- again', on Offer Up, etc.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>4.</b> Do odd jobs for the elderly for cash. So many would be grateful to pay $25/hour for a handful of chores. Let them know you are available and give them one hour of your time to take the trash to the curb, walk their dogs, change a light bulb, etc.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>5.</b> If you have a BA Degree, teach Chinese Kids to speak English. VIP Kid pays $20-22/hour and the hours are 4am-9am EST and you pick your slots and frequency of teaching time so it is easy to head on to work after. If you want to check this opportunity out, <a href="https://t.vipkid.com.cn/mkt/landing/personal?referralToken=8a23e9aa2a53f8703e7f49a017ec9542&refereeId=24043005">click HERE</a> then enter referral code TRUDY0007. I make $400/month because my goal is to earn my car payment + gas $. However, my friend who shared this opportunity with me earned $2186 for the month of February 2019. How much you make yourself available to teach is totally up to you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>6.</b> Take this twist on a storage cleanout - yours, or offer to do a friend/relative's garage/storage with the agreement that anything they no longer want is yours (so even if they do not pay you to do the job, still make the offer). Then, offer these things for sale. I had a client do this for her mom. She sanded down an old dresser and painted it. She also took photos and wrote quick descriptions of books etc. Then, she posted all these for sale online/garage sale.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>7.</b> Do the 1-week, no grocery/no eat-out challenge. Save all your grocery money for that week. During this time, try to get invites to friends & family. Find new and creative ways to use up what is already in your house.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

There is a very high possibility that your credit report has errors on it and that is not legal for that to happen - but it does! 79% of the time.<br />
<br />
The Florida state law says:"<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMlObxNIzi6vAIvY3fZ4F9pqsPCUhq7uR39GUHpcYywzatS-Tu4bW3vJUlIRCe6agVEWsG0llWikfnTHoXpy01XSTTei5HSmNR5YgbuhuQSCGmvIpTXZWWNDQ4BXvCLl6BAhaxC9fApV8/s1600/accurate+reporting.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="324" data-original-width="622" height="206" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMlObxNIzi6vAIvY3fZ4F9pqsPCUhq7uR39GUHpcYywzatS-Tu4bW3vJUlIRCe6agVEWsG0llWikfnTHoXpy01XSTTei5HSmNR5YgbuhuQSCGmvIpTXZWWNDQ4BXvCLl6BAhaxC9fApV8/s400/accurate+reporting.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Incomplete, inaccurate, and outdated negative information does not belong on your credit report - any of them!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I would bet that if you looked at all 3 bureaus right now and went through your report, line by line there would be at least one notation that is inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What you also may not realize is - these kinds of data negatively impact the score they tell you, which in turn impacts your financial options.</div>
