You stop blaming luck. You start taking control.<\/p>\n<p>Because here\u2019s the beautiful truth:<\/p>\n<p>Just like you can get better at cooking or photography or any other skill through dedicated practice, <a href=\"https:\/\/seedtime.com\/managing-money-gods-way\/\">you can get better at managing money<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The key is to start seeing yourself as a student of money rather than a victim of bad financial circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>Because the thing is, even if you have been dealt the worst financial hand in life, developing your money skills is only going to help you overcome it quicker.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you\u2019re ready to start developing your money skills, start small:<\/h2>\n<p>Pick ONE area \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/seedtime.com\/ways-to-make-money\/\">earning<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/seedtime.com\/how-to-quit-spending-more-money-than-you-make\/\">spending<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/seedtime.com\/save-money\/\">saving<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/seedtime.com\/investing-with-little-money\/\">investing<\/a> \u2013 and focus on improving just 1% in that area this month.<\/p>\n<p>Remember: You don\u2019t have to be perfect.<\/p>\n<p>You just have to practice.<\/p>\n<p>And as you do, you will get better!<\/p>\n<p>Remember, God has given you everything you need to be <a href=\"https:\/\/seedtime.com\/stewardship-with-marcus-hall\/\">an excellent steward<\/a> of His resources.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The question is: Are you willing to put in the practice?<\/h3>\n<p>Your friend and coach,<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"117\" height=\"73\" src=\"https:\/\/seedtime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bob-sign.jpg\" alt=\"Bob sign\" class=\"wp-image-12257\" title=\"The 4 Money Skills: What They Never Taught You in School 2\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019ve probably noticed something strange about money.
