The 3-Part Plan Every Woman Needs to Take Control of Her Money


In The News

Women’s Network Australia is proud to offer a framework that directly supports our three key pillars: Financial Capability & Security, Lifelong Learning, and Health & Wellness.

Here’s the truth: most financial information wasn’t written for women.
It was built for a different audience, with different circumstances.
And that’s why so much of it falls flat.

At Women’s Network Australia, we believe women deserve a plan that’s built for us.
A practical, values-driven roadmap for financial confidence, capability, and security.

It starts with this: the 3-part plan every woman needs to truly take control of her finances – on her terms.

1. Financial Confidence: Believe you can

Confidence isn’t arrogance or knowing all the answers. It’s the belief that you’re capable of figuring it out.

Why does this matter?

Because without confidence, women often: 

  • Avoid negotiating 
  • Stay silent about financial stress 
  • Rely on others for major decisions 
  • Hold back from investing or growing wealth

Confidence is the fuel that powers financial action. And like any muscle, it can be built – with the right tools, mentorship and mindset.

Where to start:
→ Acknowledge what you don’t know – then get curious
→ Surround yourself with smart, supportive financial conversations
→ Take the money strong™ Financial Gap Self-Assessment to see where your confidence stands and consider the option provided for mentorship from the money strong™ team

2. Financial Capability: Build the skills

Confidence gets you started.
Capability helps you keep going.

This is where many high-earning, ambitious women get stuck. They make great money – but don’t feel in control of it.

Capability means knowing how to: 

✔ Structure and automate your finances
✔ Spend in alignment with your values
✔ Set realistic goals and track progress
✔ Understand basic investing and grow your money

This is the “how-to” of financial empowerment. Not theory. Not fluff. 

It’s about building a system that works – so your money starts working for you.

💡 Where to start:
→ Map your values.
→ Create a values-based spending plan (Module 2 of our program shows you how!)
→ Set up automation – let systems take the stress out of spending

3. Financial Security: Protect your future

Security isn’t just having savings.
It’s knowing you’re protected – no matter what life throws at you.

If you got sick, lost work, or needed to leave a relationship… would you be okay?

Security means: 

  • Having emergency funds
  • Understanding insurance
  • Reviewing your super
  • Putting legal structures in place to protect your wealth

It’s the safety net under your entire life.

💡 Where to start:
→ Set a goal to build 3–6 months of living expenses
→ Review your will, insurances, and power of attorney
→ Explore beginner-friendly investing with micro tools

This 3-part model is more than a helpful structure—it reflects the backbone of WNA’s member journey. From knowledge to execution, from safety to self-trust.

Where the Bridge Your Money Gap program supports you

This 3-part plan isn’t just a nice idea—it’s the exact structure of our Bridge Your Money Gap course, built exclusively for members of Women’s Network Australia.

  • Module 1: Meet Reality Where It’s At (to help you build confidence) 
  • Module 2: Create a Values-Aligned Spending Plan (to strengthen your capability)
  • Module 3: Create the Fundamentals of Wealth Creation (to support your financial security)

Through videos, tools, mentoring and real-world reflections – plus mentorship, you’ll build a roadmap for your money – designed around you.

This is how we help women shift from stuck to secure.

Final Thoughts

The old story says women are bad with money.
We’re rewriting that.

You are smart enough.
Capable enough.
Worthy enough.

Let’s get you the know-how and support to match.

This isn’t just a money program. It’s WNA’s investment in helping every woman rewrite her relationship with money—backed by a national strategy focused on empowering women in business and life.
