This is beyond confidence and now here's your
17
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:15.079
host, give you a park.
Good morning, listeners, It's Tuesday and
18
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:19.280
I'm thrilled to be here with you. So I want to share a quick
19
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:23.359
story. What happened was just a
few days back. It was fascinating.
20
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:27.840
I was walking, you know,
one with the nature, hearing the rustle
21
00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:34.640
of the leaves and the switch of
the wind and chirping of the birds,
22
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:41.799
and then something kicked in and I
jumped. So what happened was out of
23
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:49.519
the corner of my eye I saw
baby copper head snake. So if I
24
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:53.840
had probably stepped on it, I
would have been bitten. Baby copper snakes
25
00:01:53.840 --> 00:02:00.760
are pretty venomous. So where I'm
going with this is being present for yourself,
26
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:05.200
being present for others, and I
want to share that. That's why
27
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:10.919
I cherish my time with you,
because you'll provide that time to us and
28
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:15.520
you're part of the family. So

32
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:38.759

35
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:58.520
going to invite you to take that
hour, split it into multiple times and
36
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:05.719
keep that kind of circle going,
because a little kindness goes a long way.
37
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:10.360
And the story that I want to
share with you of kindness is I
38
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:16.479
love walking, as most of you
most likely know, And just a couple
39
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:23.240
of days back, I was going
and this beautiful, energetic, wonderful woman
40
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:30.960
going on a bike. It didn't
matter who it was, whether people replied
41
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:37.240
back to her or not. She
kept on saying good morning to everyone on
42
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:40.360
the track. And I can tell
you it brought a smile to my face
43
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:46.000
and set my day on a right
note. So think about it as little
44
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:53.159
as that, where you can share
a bit of yourself with others, you
45
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:55.280
can light up the way for them. All right, let's bring on her
46
00:03:55.319 --> 00:04:00.560
guests. Welcome Jessica hight did Yeah, thank you for having me this morning.
47
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:04.680
How are you good? How about
you? I'm good? Those are
48
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:12.039
great stories on your walks. I'll
thank you. That would terrify me.
49
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:16.399
Most likely it would have terrified me
too, I think. So it was
50
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:21.800
just an instinctual reaction or response,
whatever we want to call it. So
51
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:28.000
it's lovely to have. You usually
get started with your childhood journey. Do
52
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:31.639
you recall any moment or a person
that you remember even to this day.
53
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:39.360
Oh, so I'm a wealth advisor. I grew up. My father's been
54
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:43.199
a wealth advisor for over forty years. So when I'm asked about my child
55
00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:46.279
and that's always been a theme in
there, whether it was I was stuffing
56
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:51.279
envelopes for his business at a very
young age, sitting on the family room
57
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:58.120
rug watching TV and stuffing envelopes and
getting some cash to do that, or
58
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:00.839
I remember I had this little hint
in my room, and I love to
59
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:04.519
put my money in the tin,
and whenever I was I would go my
60
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:08.279
room, lock my door, I
would count the cash. I think my
61
00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:12.800
parents knew how much I loved the
tin and the magical money within it.
62
00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:17.319
So whenever I was bad and I
would run into my room and a tangent
63
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:21.680
state of a I don't know,
meltdown, tangent, whatever you want to
64
00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:26.040
call. And I would lock the
door and they would tokay. They would
65
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:29.079
come and they would bang on the
door, said Jessica Claire. If you
66
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:34.319
don't open the door right away,
we're taking away all your money. That
67
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:41.120
was one of the not that was
a huge traumatic events. But I call
68
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:45.040
it trauma because it was a life
altering thing. It started to create this
69
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:50.360
narrative around money in my world,
that there's fear around money, that money
70
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:56.040
can be taken away from you.
So whenever i'm ass about childhood, I
71
00:05:56.199 --> 00:06:00.839
usually think of that story and how
it shaped a lot of decisions moving forward
72
00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:05.199
with money. It's also I can
identify that fear very quickly with other people
73
00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:10.879
when it comes to their money socially
working with them as an advisor as well.
74
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:13.920
Do you, I'm curious to you
have a child's story around money that
75
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:19.680
like that first memory of money growing
up? I do have. So Basically,
76
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:25.199
I used to love collecting coins,
the different types of coins, and
77
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:32.279
so we didn't get an allowance.
Usually you can say that I was spoiled,
78
00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:36.040
which are usually whatever I asked I
got, so I never I had
79
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:41.439
that barrier that like, oh,
you know, and of course it's not
80
00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:45.240
like I was going to ask for
anything huge or something like that, but
81
00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:47.920
you know, like little things,
we get it. And I used to
82
00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:55.920
collect those coins and I still remember
to this day that there was something going
83
00:06:55.920 --> 00:07:00.759
on, like I don't remember what
was the issue, and like my parents
84
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:03.199
needed some money for something urgent and
they're like, Okay, we don't have
85
00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:09.399
time to go to the bank because
yeah, you guys might guess that I'm
86
00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:12.040
not a dinosaur, but like you
know, in good old days there was
87
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:15.920
no mobile banking, so you would
have to go like if you don't have
88
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:18.439
cash on hand. So I said, hey, take my box, and
89
00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:24.279
it was just kind of amazing.
Whatever there was quite a bit of money,
90
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:27.279
like in our period of time,
I had stacked and as I'm sure
91
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:30.600
we'll be going into compounding and all
that, as we talk about it helped
92
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:39.959
my parents in that pinch. So
you never know how narratives you have and
93
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:46.399
we can definitely jump into it and
how it can impact your behaviors and decision
94
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:49.160
making and all that. So as
you grew, which career did you take
95
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:56.680
on? Sure I graduated actually started
getting my securities licenses to become an advisor.
96
00:07:56.759 --> 00:08:01.439
In college, I had some internships
at my father's firm other firms as
97
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:05.560
well, went on the insurance side
of things, and then when I graduated
98
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:09.680
college in two thousand and ten,
I finished the summer just studying and getting
99
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:16.800
the rest of the licenses my insurance
my series sixties, sixty six, Series
100
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:22.240
seven, and then I started my
Certified Financial Planner designation right after that,
101
00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:26.079
so I felt like I did more
studying that summer, and then I did
102
00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:28.600
my entire four years in college.
I GM packed it all in because I
103
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:35.759
was a very eager to dive into
this new job, this new career,
104
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:39.080
and also I was working with my
father and my brother at the time too,
105
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:46.320
so it felt very excited to be
building something together as well. And
106
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:50.679
I've been an advisor ever since two
thousand and ten. But there wasn't a
107
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:56.200
straight path to where I am today, as it very rarely happens that way,
108
00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:01.720
right, right, right. So
you mentioned that you are taking security,
109
00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:07.200
so sounds like money has been definitely
a very strong suit in your life,
110
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:11.399
and as your father was a wealth
advisor, so did you ever think
111
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:18.759
of doing anything else except for going
into Yes, I grew up playing basketball.
112
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:22.600
I played basketball all through college.
I loved it as where my husband
113
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:26.000
was a basketball player in college as
well, so part of me wanted to
114
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:28.320
be a basketball coach. I thought
that would be really neat. I went
115
00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:35.159
overseas to play a few times,
and I love the community with having a
116
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:41.120
team and having the leadership with coaches, and then the coaches playing different roles
117
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:46.840
and kind of appealing to you at
different moments as well, and I was
118
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:50.519
very drawn to that also the psychology
behind it, working with different sports psychologists
119
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:56.759
as well. And then I ended
up kind of combining both that that coaching
120
00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:03.279
mentorship community with the money side of
things. And I remember looking and just
121
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:07.399
sitting in on my father's meetings with
his clients and realizing kind of connected the
122
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:13.000
doubts for me. He is a
coach. He is coaching and advising and
123
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:16.480
guiding them, and sometimes it's advice, sometimes it's guide, and sometimes it
124
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:22.919
is coaching and sometimes not that we're
therapists, but it can be very therapeutic
125
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:28.360
the work that we do as well, and there's definitely a psychology behind it.
126
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:33.919
There's a lot of mindset work behind
it, so it kind of combined
127
00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:37.559
all those worlds together, and I
loved being a part of a team.
128
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:41.000
At that time, it was my
father and my brother's team and our back
129
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:46.200
office support and being able to work
one on one with people. And as
130
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:50.240
my career progressed, I built more
and more of that community, and that
131
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:56.320
community I wanted to focus on women. I saw how neglected women are in
132
00:10:56.440 --> 00:11:01.000
the industry, whether you're a female
advisor. Female advisors make up only eighteen
133
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:05.159
percent of all financial advisors in Davia. That number hasn't changed in twenty years,
134
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:11.720
in two decades. So what is
what's that barrier for women entering the
135
00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:16.799
industry or keeping them there? Yeah? A lot, definitely, Yeah,
136
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:24.679
a lot of question for you,
Jessica, how was your experience in your
137
00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:28.200
father's form like, because here you
are you mentioned that you know that women's
138
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:35.440
numbers in the financial advising industry has
not changed within twenty years now, when
139
00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:39.279
you go back and when you were
with your father and with your brother,
140
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:46.120
did you feel anytime like, oh, I'm the only one or did you
141
00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:52.240
just were comfortable tell us about your
experience and that. That's a good question.
142
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:56.279
So there were a lot of dynamics
apply. I was I am the
143
00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:58.840
younger sister. Right, I'm my
father's little girl, I'm my brother's younger
144
00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:03.840
So we had those relationship dynamics.
And then I was the only female advisor.
145
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:07.279
There are a few other male advisors
a part of our firm, and
146
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:11.000
this is a typical situation. Are
set up of most financial firms where the
147
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:16.039
back office support about eighty ninety percent
our women. So there were women in
148
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:20.360
the office, they just didn't have
the same client facing roles that I had.
149
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:24.000
So I did feel even though my
father, my brother, I know
150
00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:28.039
they love me and I love them, I did feel like the underdog.
151
00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:31.600
I felt like I was part of
the boys club and just a humor.
152
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:35.879
Right. Wholesalers would come into the
office and they're mostly men, so they're
153
00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:39.399
using, right, we're going golfing, we're gonna go get cigars, We're
154
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:46.279
going to or saying these jokes that
are more catered towards men as well.
155
00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:50.679
So I begged my father, can
I do something for women? And so
156
00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:54.720
within my father's firm, I started
to create what is now the Woman's Wealth
157
00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:58.120
Boutique, a separate, complete,
separate firm as from my fathers, but
158
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:03.919
I started to create that and just
having events for female clients and prospects.
159
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:09.320
That led to my blog, Not
your Father's Advisor, which led to my
160
00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:13.799
three books. And now we have
our very old Woman's Wealth Boutique that we
161
00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:20.799
opened up last year March of last
year, twenty twenty two, and we've
162
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:26.799
brought on seven female advisors within a
year. So I saw as I kind
163
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:30.919
of knew I wasn't the right spot
on my father's firm. He's a very
164
00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:35.320
traditional advisor, which is fine,
is great. He's a very very good
165
00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:37.519
advisor. My brother's a great advisor. But for me, I wanted to
166
00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:41.080
do so much more. I wanted
to do more outreach to women, whether
167
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:46.120
through books, podcasts, being on
this show, things like that. And
168
00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:50.720
the traditional firm isn't set up for
that. There's too much regulation, too
169
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:54.840
much oversight, and things just get
to take way too long to get anything
170
00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:58.759
done. So I said to my
father in twenty twenty one, I'm going
171
00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:03.240
to set up my own firm that
will give me the freedom to pursue these
172
00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:09.399
endeavors and to build out this really
true community that's built by women and for
173
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:13.360
women as well. And along that
path, I started speaking with other advisors
174
00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:16.919
and they were running into the same
issues I was. They weren't happy,
175
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:24.799
they felt very undervalued, neglected,
beating down, just with everyone telling them
176
00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:28.000
no over and over again. And
that takes a toll on yourself confidence,
177
00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:33.919
right, Oh? Absolutely, And
as it is, we have seen It's
178
00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:39.919
not that men don't struggle with confidence, but women have been known to check
179
00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:45.399
themselves like, okay, if I
did this, And even Angela Markel in
180
00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:48.679
one of her interviews said that like
and she is, like, you know,
181
00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:52.279
Angela Markel has been one of the
top leaders in the world, and
182
00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:54.360
she would say that she would double
check her work and do more research and
183
00:14:54.399 --> 00:15:03.159
prep more. So women do have
that area or gap, whatever we want
184
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:07.360
to call it, where they do
the additional world to make sure that they're
185
00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:11.159
on par So when you say that, you mentioned that, like, you
186
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:16.960
know, there are lots of rules
and regulations for the traditional forums. Where's
187
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:20.720
yours not? So tell us what's
the difference between the traditional and your boutique?
188
00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:26.960
Sure? So, a traditional broker
dealer we call them. They are
189
00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:33.240
regulated by different parties, the SEC, Securities Exchange Commission, FINRA, different
190
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:37.879
places. They regulate their booker dealers, and then the broker dealers regulate the
191
00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:43.399
advisors within that and most of the
time they're they're very, very large.
192
00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:46.559
So if I wanted to get a
book, then now they don't want every
193
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:50.399
advisor to write a book because that's
way too much work for them, it's
194
00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:54.000
not cost effective for them. So
they're much more entitled to just say no,
195
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:58.320
you can't do a book, or
do social like social media, go
196
00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:00.960
on TV, have a podcasts,
or if they say yes, it's a
197
00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:04.679
very long process to execute it because
it needs to go through compliance, and
198
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:11.320
now you're battling your spot with thousands
of other advisors as well. We're set
199
00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:17.399
up we are a registered investment Advisory
firm and RAA and we are directly regulated
200
00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:21.000
by the states in the SEC,
so there's no one in between us.
201
00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:25.320
We are just directly audited and regulated
by them. So now we have our
202
00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:30.480
own in house compliance team that I
work with very intimately. I'm the chief
203
00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:36.360
compliance officer. So it's we can
get things done quicker. We also know
204
00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:41.919
the mission behind it, the integrity, the what is the purpose behind any
205
00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:48.039
marketing pieces projects endeavors, and we're
able to get things done a lot quicker
206
00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:52.799
and still be in brand and in
alignment what our twue purposes and our biggest
207
00:16:52.879 --> 00:17:00.879
push is just financial educational literacy out
there for women and not just female clients
208
00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:03.640
and investors, but also female advisors, so that they know what their rights
209
00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:07.880
are as an advisor in this industry. What are they giving up being at
210
00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:11.880
a certain place? Where are their
opportunities and where should they where do they
211
00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:15.079
want to kind of apply? There's
so many different ways you can be an
212
00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:22.640
advisor as a female. No,
definitely that makes sense. So all right,
213
00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:29.000
so now you congratulations on all your
success. You have accomplished a lot
214
00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:36.160
and bathing the path for women.
Now, when are audiences listening, I
215
00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:41.279
know that there are a lot of
barriers to women and women making money.
216
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:45.799
So in your experience, what would
you say at the three main or fi
217
00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:52.240
main barriers that stand between women and
wealth. Oh, this is a perfect
218
00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:56.240
timing. I've been talking with a
lot of female advisors of the last two
219
00:17:56.279 --> 00:18:02.440
weeks about this exact exact topic.
So just taking into account, you know
220
00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:07.319
what the concessus has been with the
other female advisors. One that we've been
221
00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:12.519
noticing and being trend is when men
try to have us do it their way
222
00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:17.759
and it doesn't feel right because most
advisor, again, there are men.
223
00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:22.200
Most of our mentors, being female
advisors in the industry are men, and
224
00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:26.359
so we deal with the same thing
is you just need to do it this
225
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:30.839
way, But women make decisions very
differently. We like to get educated first,
226
00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:34.200
we take our time. But divia, we're also more likely to stick
227
00:18:34.279 --> 00:18:41.119
with our investment choices, whereas men, they'll be riskier, but they will
228
00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:45.000
flip flop back and forth more so
we make decisions differently. We're going to
229
00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:51.000
approach risk in a very different capacity. We aren't as much of a risk
230
00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:56.119
taker as men. So that's been
another barrier to entry is understanding what's the
231
00:18:56.200 --> 00:19:00.720
risk I'm taking? How do I
protect against that risk as well, so
232
00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:06.240
that I am if something were to
happen, I'm okay, My family's okay,
233
00:19:06.359 --> 00:19:10.440
my house, et cetera are in
good shape too. So I think
234
00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:15.640
it's the education, it's the risk
appetite for women. We are seeing women
235
00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:19.960
wanting to take more risks now,
especially the women I'm working with, and
236
00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:26.200
like the education. Women weren't taught
about money at an early age. We're
237
00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:29.519
starting to see that trend a lot
differently, but a lot of times in
238
00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:33.400
the households. As a young girl, you're seeing your mom who's at home.
239
00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:37.240
She might be paying the bills,
but the typical role the husband the
240
00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:44.039
dad is managing the overall household finances
and a lot of times it was a
241
00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:48.200
footpad to talk about money, so
that there wasn't a lot of communication about
242
00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:52.119
money back then. So educating women
on it and that's going to lead to
243
00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:55.799
them wanting to take more risk because
they understand it, they're more comfortable,
244
00:19:56.079 --> 00:19:59.079
and then finally we're going to build
that confidence. And I think as you
245
00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:03.119
hit the nail the before, it's
that lack of confidence in themselves. There's
246
00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:07.480
a lot of fear driving women's decisions
with money. We want it to be
247
00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:11.200
the opposite. So whenever we make
a decision out of fear, we don't
248
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:15.319
get what we want. We usually
stay in this very similar patterner cycle that
249
00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:21.759
we've been in as well. And
that's why I love the community because women
250
00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:26.640
can really rally around each other,
can't they. But unfortunately we've been told
251
00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:29.799
you can't talk about money. So
we're not rallying around each other with money
252
00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:33.480
because we're not talking about it.
It's not an open communication and that's what
253
00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:37.759
we've been working very hard to builds
has been our priority for our advisors because
254
00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:42.400
we deal with the same issues that
our female clients are. And what I
255
00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:45.759
love about our community at the Women's
Wealth Batique is now we're talking about it.
256
00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:49.799
We're being very vulnerable as advisors.
We're getting ourselves on the same level
257
00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:55.119
page and playing fields as our clients, so they can see we're in this
258
00:20:55.279 --> 00:20:56.960
with them. We're figuring out and
we're going to help them figure it out
259
00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:03.839
and we're going to guide them along
the way. So you mentioned about the
260
00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:10.480
fears that women are not very much
open to money or like taking risks.
261
00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:14.559
They like to get educated. So
let's get to the bottom of it.
262
00:21:14.759 --> 00:21:21.839
When you talk about fears, what
fears are they experiencing and how can we
263
00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:26.640
educate them so that way they can
make informed decisions. A lot of times
264
00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:32.920
for women there, we're thinking about
everybody else first, and we don't like
265
00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:37.799
to disappoint people. We don't want
to be viewed as a failure. I
266
00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:41.640
think this comes with that confidence as
well. We're making sure everybody else is
267
00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:47.119
okay first and we're putting ourselves last. We hear about this a lot social
268
00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:56.240
media and books news now, especially
so helping women understand when they take care
269
00:21:56.279 --> 00:22:00.559
of themselves, how they also take
care of their families. But if I'll
270
00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:03.119
give you an example, one of
my clients we call her anti d And
271
00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:07.119
Antidi was single, no kids of
her own, but she was always helping
272
00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:14.240
her nieces and nephews and her siblings. And she felt obviously this huge burden
273
00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:18.559
on her. I mean the exhaustion, the pressure was mounting. It was
274
00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:22.799
taken a huge impact on her health. She was extremely unhealthy. She was
275
00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:27.079
that was racking up medical bills on
top of it. And I finally said
276
00:22:27.079 --> 00:22:32.200
to Antidi, what happens if Addie
runs out of money? She wanted to
277
00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:37.200
retire at some point, and it
finally hit her that if she runs out
278
00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:41.880
of money, everybody is going to
run out of money. Everybody's screwed then,
279
00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:45.839
and she had to learn how to
set up healthy boundaries, how to
280
00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:49.319
have a actual structure behind the flow
of her money. The money comes in,
281
00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:52.160
where is it going, how was
it going to be best used?
282
00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:57.359
And there's still a bucket for giving
back to her family. But if it
283
00:22:57.400 --> 00:23:02.359
wasn't filled yet, she is going
to have to start learning no or not
284
00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:04.359
yet, and her family is gonna
have to start planning ahead a lot more.
285
00:23:04.640 --> 00:23:11.039
I remember her niece totaled her car
about three times Tia, but the
286
00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:14.400
Nandi would just step in and save
the day again and again. So there
287
00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:19.000
was a lot of responsibility that her
family members had to start taking upon themselves
288
00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:26.000
and to grow and it was ending
this pattern of enabling and this pressure was
289
00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:30.519
taken off of add finally before it. So I think part of it is
290
00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:36.279
that fear of letting people down,
and so you're overgiving, you're over exhausting
291
00:23:36.359 --> 00:23:41.759
yourself and your finances, you're overexhausting
as well. I hear a lot of
292
00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:45.119
women that fear of, you know, running out of money, especially they're
293
00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:51.400
financially independent women or they're single by
themselves, and they're terrified if they make
294
00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:56.440
a wrong decision with money that means
they failed themselves. I think it's building
295
00:23:56.440 --> 00:24:03.759
a trust, an internal trust for
women and to move from this being terrified
296
00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:07.119
of money, terrified of losing money, but also terrified of having money and
297
00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:12.880
blowing it. Yo, there's a
big lack of trust for women within themselves
298
00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:19.720
that we need to solve. No, definitely, you bring up some very
299
00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:26.559
good points that how that lack of
confidence and the key is not even just
300
00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:29.640
kind of saying lack of confidence.
It is getting to the root cause of
301
00:24:29.680 --> 00:24:33.839
it. You mentioned about not letting
people down, feeling like a failure,
302
00:24:34.440 --> 00:24:42.000
and examining yourself, bringing that avenue
to yourself and starts at setting boundaries and
303
00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:48.079
even if it means taking one tiny
step at a time, it works so
304
00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:52.039
many times you know people are thinking, oh, I gotta achieve this within
305
00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:56.519
a week or within two weeks.
The key to remember is that it took
306
00:24:56.559 --> 00:25:03.039
you almost twelve years to get through
kindergarten and high school. So this is
307
00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:07.039
school of life and it's going to
take time. So giving yourself that space
308
00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:14.519
and compassion to move through it.
So another leak you have talked about is
309
00:25:14.599 --> 00:25:22.160
that there are money leaks because women
operate under very complicated systems. Can you
310
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:26.839
share with us a little bit about
those money leaks? Sure. I just
311
00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:30.200
had a couple we did a strategy
session together, and they each had their
312
00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:34.039
own business, and then they have
thought they had passive income on top of
313
00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:40.359
it, and then they had their
households cash flow money on top of it,
314
00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:42.200
and they're like, there's money coming
in and out. We have no
315
00:25:42.240 --> 00:25:45.279
idea what's going on with it.
At the end of the day, we
316
00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:48.759
feel like we make really good money, but there's not much after all the
317
00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:52.160
bills are paid. And I hear
the story a lot, and there comes
318
00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:56.839
a point in time when your money
just gets too complicated. For right,
319
00:25:56.119 --> 00:25:59.880
money should go into one account,
everything's paid, and we moved the rest
320
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:03.960
savings. It's too complicated for that. You're managing a household on top of
321
00:26:04.039 --> 00:26:11.480
businesses or on top of other pieces
of the puzzle. So I like to
322
00:26:11.559 --> 00:26:15.559
keep things as simple as possible.
But when things get too complicated, we're
323
00:26:15.599 --> 00:26:19.160
missing things. And in a virtual
world with money, it can happen very
324
00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:23.640
quickly. We have PayPal, we
have Venmo, Amazon. Money is flying
325
00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:27.839
out and we're not even seeing it
or feeling it yet. And then on
326
00:26:27.880 --> 00:26:33.000
top of it with the credit cards, and then after experiencing such high inflation,
327
00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:38.279
this is hitting people more and more
with the debt. And I've seen
328
00:26:38.319 --> 00:26:42.480
that with clients, with new clients, people coming to me, people going
329
00:26:42.480 --> 00:26:48.119
through divorce. One of a good
situation right now, when things are costing
330
00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:52.319
so much money on top of it, and a lot of times too,
331
00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:56.640
we're too busy in our world,
so there's time leaks. You don't have
332
00:26:56.720 --> 00:27:00.599
time to create a real grocery list, and I'm guilty of this, and
333
00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:03.920
so you forget things and then you
have to run back to the store multiple
334
00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:07.359
times, or even just going on
Amazon multiple times during the week. That's
335
00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:11.160
taking you out of your flow at
work or out of your present being present
336
00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:18.400
at home and that time. So
I've heard other financial experts talk about this,
337
00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:23.160
and it's a great point that look
how many transactions you have on your
338
00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:27.559
statements, and if there are a
lot of transactions multiple in a day,
339
00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:30.160
there's a lot there's a time leak, and that means there's a money leak
340
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:34.759
too. It's taking you away from
making money or you're spending extra because you
341
00:27:36.000 --> 00:27:40.480
go into Target three times a week
or to the grocery store multiple times a
342
00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:44.799
week and you see things and you
just throw them in your car as well.
343
00:27:45.640 --> 00:27:48.559
But it comes to a point where
we're managing too many different flows of
344
00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:53.000
money or we're too busy with our
day to day life. And again I'm
345
00:27:53.039 --> 00:27:56.720
guilty of this. I have two
young kids of five years almost six year
346
00:27:56.720 --> 00:28:03.079
olds and a three year olds.
My husband I work. It's a process
347
00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:07.640
to keep an organized household running efficiently. So there are time leaks because you
348
00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:11.880
don't have the time to sit down
and plan out the week, plan out
349
00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:15.759
your grocery trips or your errands and
things like that as well. So getting
350
00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:21.920
a system where you can start tracking
what money is coming in, the net
351
00:28:21.920 --> 00:28:26.119
amount forget about the before taxes,
right, what's the net amount that we're
352
00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:30.759
working within your bank account? And
what are all of these expenses And a
353
00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:34.680
lot of times there's these small furloughs
expenses five dollars or twenty dollars or thirty
354
00:28:34.680 --> 00:28:38.000
dollars here, but on the credit
card they start to really add up for
355
00:28:38.079 --> 00:28:47.559
people and then reprioritizing where do you
want to spend your money? And just
356
00:28:47.839 --> 00:28:51.880
to earn more money constantly is not
the solution because now you're in this rat
357
00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:55.359
race and a lot of pressure on
you to just constantly earn more and more
358
00:28:55.400 --> 00:28:57.119
and more. And as we earn
more and more and more, our expenses
359
00:28:57.240 --> 00:29:00.480
keep going up right with it.
So we want to keep both of those
360
00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:06.519
in check as we're building out your
kind of that infrastructure for your money.
361
00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:12.319
So having a pulse on your cash
flow, what's coming in, what's going
362
00:29:12.359 --> 00:29:17.599
out? And I really like what
you mentioned about the time league, because
363
00:29:17.599 --> 00:29:19.680
there's only so much time in the
day, especially if you have a young
364
00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:27.759
family like yourself and planning out.
So yes, it may seem daunting that,
365
00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:33.880
oh I gotta sit down on Sunday
night or Saturday night. Got a
366
00:29:33.880 --> 00:29:37.319
lot of things happening, you know, budday parties or depending where you are
367
00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:41.680
at in your journey, especially if
you're an entrepreneur, it's a twenty four
368
00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:45.559
by seventh thing. You're never unplugged
fully now, So figuring out where's your
369
00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:52.079
time spent that's a really really good
strategy, and especially like multiple transactions.
370
00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:56.319
And this is what's something I used
to do a few years back. I
371
00:29:56.480 --> 00:30:02.480
use I love Target, and when
I went to Target, I would pick
372
00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:06.480
up a few things that I did
not need. So since then, what
373
00:30:06.519 --> 00:30:11.680
I've done is I really before I
go to Target, first of all,
374
00:30:11.720 --> 00:30:17.920
I have a list, and then
secondly I will look around what do I
375
00:30:17.960 --> 00:30:21.480
already have before I made that list, because so many times you already have
376
00:30:21.720 --> 00:30:27.039
things in the house. So that
has helped me a lot. It's because
377
00:30:27.160 --> 00:30:33.559
what you're talking about, I would
have multiple transactions and running to the grocery
378
00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:37.200
store. But then as you start
putting in the systems, it can really
379
00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:44.160
help. So let's say there's a
mom mupreneur, what systems would you outline
380
00:30:44.240 --> 00:30:51.000
that would make her life easier and
keep the Well then I'm sorry, what
381
00:30:51.039 --> 00:30:52.720
was that again, Vivia? Sure? So, like, let's say if
382
00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:57.160
it's a mpreneur, a mom,
or it doesn't matter, a woman who's
383
00:30:57.200 --> 00:31:03.759
an entrepreneur and now she needs to
create her systems. What are like three
384
00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:07.960
or four main systems that they need
to have in place so that they are
385
00:31:08.079 --> 00:31:12.480
able to sustain the world that they're
bringing it. Oh, good question.
386
00:31:14.359 --> 00:31:18.559
Yes, what is a system to
review the money that's coming in and going
387
00:31:18.599 --> 00:31:22.279
out? And do it monthly,
quarterly depending on how you get paid,
388
00:31:23.400 --> 00:31:27.680
but keep track of that. It
keeps you accountable, it keeps your team
389
00:31:27.680 --> 00:31:33.480
accountable, and also time to celebrate
too. And it shouldn't be a daunting
390
00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:37.000
thing. It should be an exciting
thing. The women avoid it because it's
391
00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:40.880
not where they want to be,
or it's they think it's going to be
392
00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:44.599
too painful to be. But how
can we neutralize it and just be a
393
00:31:44.640 --> 00:31:48.599
tool to see where you should be
spending your time and effort the next month
394
00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:52.200
as well? So what is that
system? Is a QuickBooks? Is an
395
00:31:52.200 --> 00:31:57.000
Excel sheet? Usually things will get
too complicated, and eventually you will need
396
00:31:57.440 --> 00:32:01.960
a quick books kind of system where
things get plugged into it as well.
397
00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:07.759
So some sort of system to track
your spending in your income and then to
398
00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:13.759
review it on a regular basis and
to see how it's progressing. It's also
399
00:32:13.799 --> 00:32:16.880
going to help you out if you're
looking for funding grants down the road as
400
00:32:16.920 --> 00:32:20.680
well. You can see how are
we going to what's the amount of money
401
00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:24.559
we need. Having you know that
profit loss statement, that balance sheets,
402
00:32:24.640 --> 00:32:30.720
you're going to be ahead of the
ball just preparing for that journey as well.
403
00:32:30.559 --> 00:32:36.160
Another system is the actual flow of
money. Most people just have that
404
00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:39.519
one bank account and then they'll spend, have all their expenses come from there,
405
00:32:40.279 --> 00:32:45.519
especially for a newer business owner,
setting up another account to shift money
406
00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:50.720
over for taxes. Because that money
comes in, it doesn't mean it's all
407
00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:52.920
yours. You need to split that
with the i RS, the government,
408
00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:59.799
So shifting over twenty thirty. Work
with your accountant on this percent each time.
409
00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:01.680
Because I've seen this happen a lot, And I just had a client
410
00:33:01.720 --> 00:33:08.400
and I gave her this exact,
this exact lesson tip. She has a
411
00:33:08.400 --> 00:33:12.680
full year of income. Now she
hasn't says, side anything for taxes,
412
00:33:12.720 --> 00:33:15.680
So she's going to start next year
behind the ball owing money that she doesn't
413
00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:21.319
have on top of it, So
ship that money aside. I also like
414
00:33:21.400 --> 00:33:24.039
to have an account that you move
money into and you get paid to invest
415
00:33:24.079 --> 00:33:28.880
it back into your business. And
that could be whether it's hire or a
416
00:33:28.960 --> 00:33:35.400
coach getting office space, hiring.
But when that pulls from cash flow those
417
00:33:35.519 --> 00:33:39.480
one time large expenses, it feels
very restrictive and all of a sudden,
418
00:33:39.559 --> 00:33:45.319
you're in back in that scarcity mindset, desperate to get more sales in and
419
00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:49.319
we don't want that. So having
a bucket that you can move money into
420
00:33:49.400 --> 00:33:53.079
your business when you're ready for that
next growth spurt or a leap as well,
421
00:33:53.559 --> 00:33:58.559
and then set up something for your
retirement. Again, all of these
422
00:33:58.599 --> 00:34:01.160
are just going to be assets of
your business. So now your business is
423
00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:07.760
building equity as well, and that's
a very powerful moment. Your money is
424
00:34:07.800 --> 00:34:13.800
earning money, your business is building
not just casual but real equity that you
425
00:34:13.840 --> 00:34:17.119
can use for real estate down the
road or if you're going to get fought
426
00:34:17.159 --> 00:34:22.440
out. It's just adding more and
more value to your business term. So
427
00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:25.599
set up some extra accounts that you
can shift money into. We go into
428
00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:30.480
this and my book Confessions of a
Money Queen. It's my stable money saver
429
00:34:31.119 --> 00:34:36.159
and it doesn't feel restrictive at all. We're just slowly building up these different
430
00:34:36.159 --> 00:34:42.199
accounts and building wealth equity assets that
you can use now or down the road
431
00:34:42.639 --> 00:34:50.719
too for your business. That's definitely
a good point because one of the years
432
00:34:50.719 --> 00:34:54.599
when we did really well and at
the when it came to the tech season
433
00:34:55.400 --> 00:35:00.400
and the amount of taxes we had
to pay, it left our whole team
434
00:35:00.440 --> 00:35:06.679
gawking like, oh goodness, like
this is way too much. So from
435
00:35:06.719 --> 00:35:08.480
that point forward, you know,
we started like, okay, how can
436
00:35:08.519 --> 00:35:15.239
we go ahead and estimate what's going
to be and then having that account and
437
00:35:15.400 --> 00:35:19.800
paying it off even during the current
years so when it comes to that time,
438
00:35:20.480 --> 00:35:23.760
it's not so daunting and similar like
you said that it's important to invest
439
00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:30.039
because when you are building that equity
for your business, you are working towards
440
00:35:30.079 --> 00:35:35.960
exit planning, which is very important
because when you're in the corporate world,
441
00:35:35.960 --> 00:35:40.719
you're thinking about retirement and it's also
important to see how will you exit your
442
00:35:40.719 --> 00:35:45.480
business in case if it gets bought
out or if it's continuing, what's your
443
00:35:45.559 --> 00:35:50.039
legacy. So some really great points
to think about you think. If you're
444
00:35:50.119 --> 00:35:52.639
bringing up legacy, I just want
to add in there too. Everybody tries
445
00:35:52.679 --> 00:36:00.360
to detect as much possible from their
in camera revenue for tax purposes. They're
446
00:36:00.400 --> 00:36:02.920
going to throw in their cars,
their phones, everything. But if you
447
00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:07.079
are planning to sell your business one
day or be bought out, if you
448
00:36:07.119 --> 00:36:12.639
were to pass away with a succession
plan, you don't want that clogging up
449
00:36:12.639 --> 00:36:15.480
the revenue because your business won't be
worth as much money. So keep in
450
00:36:15.480 --> 00:36:19.920
mind what is your strategy. Is
it just to take advantage of taxes now
451
00:36:20.440 --> 00:36:25.079
or is it where the valuation of
your future sale of the business as well.
452
00:36:25.440 --> 00:36:30.440
It's two different mindsets, two different
paths forward, and one's not right
453
00:36:30.519 --> 00:36:34.199
for everybody. But think about that. If you do want to sell your
454
00:36:34.199 --> 00:36:37.960
business in the future, and hopefully
you do because you've build something amazing that
455
00:36:38.000 --> 00:36:45.760
now can keep moving on and you
get to cash out eventually, definitely that
456
00:36:45.800 --> 00:36:51.199
makes perfect sense because and what you
mentioned is about that, think about it
457
00:36:51.679 --> 00:36:57.840
which path you want to take,
and it goes back to having that clarity.
458
00:36:58.000 --> 00:36:59.800
Where is it that you want to
go, what is it that you
459
00:36:59.840 --> 00:37:04.079
want achieve? You know what it
verre. You're going to be in five,
460
00:37:04.199 --> 00:37:07.800
ten, fifteen, twenty years of
time. How's your family taken care
461
00:37:07.880 --> 00:37:13.920
of? How's your business taken care
of? Going back to scarcity mindset?
462
00:37:14.559 --> 00:37:20.199
How can women get over their scarcity
mindsets. There's a few different ways that
463
00:37:20.239 --> 00:37:22.119
we teach. I do a daily
money practice. I call it a yah
464
00:37:22.199 --> 00:37:25.400
where I sit down. I get
into my office at eight am after dropping
465
00:37:25.400 --> 00:37:30.039
my kids off and I need a
moment after getting the two young kids out
466
00:37:30.280 --> 00:37:34.239
at the door in the morning,
and I sit and I do some journal
467
00:37:34.280 --> 00:37:38.000
work. I read, I meditate, I pray and it just gets me
468
00:37:38.119 --> 00:37:43.079
very grounded for the day. And
my first step in the journal work is
469
00:37:43.119 --> 00:37:46.239
I have to feel a full page
of everything I'm grateful for. So gratitude
470
00:37:46.239 --> 00:37:50.039
is one of the quickest ways to
shift out of scarcity of minds. It's
471
00:37:50.079 --> 00:37:53.440
just to think about all the different
ways that you are blessed, that money
472
00:37:53.559 --> 00:37:59.159
is coming to you, or you're
in God's favor right, that money is
473
00:37:59.199 --> 00:38:01.239
showing up for you, and it
could be the small check in the mail.
474
00:38:01.320 --> 00:38:07.159
Don't discredit that that is still money
coming into your world. You can
475
00:38:07.199 --> 00:38:09.800
start picturing it with multiple zeros on
the end of it if that helps you
476
00:38:09.880 --> 00:38:15.000
too, So gratitude is a great
way meditation. I've become a huge fan
477
00:38:15.079 --> 00:38:20.400
of meditation ever since during the pandemic, I gave myself a thirty day meditation
478
00:38:20.519 --> 00:38:23.000
challenge and I loved it so much
I've been doing it every day, multiple
479
00:38:23.079 --> 00:38:28.880
times a day. That is a
way for you to get in touch with
480
00:38:28.920 --> 00:38:35.440
your intuition, with your subconscious see
what is Is there any underlying belief system
481
00:38:35.559 --> 00:38:40.679
that we need to rework or discredit
to make it on the more abundant side,
482
00:38:42.480 --> 00:38:46.480
And also allows your nervous system to
heal. It allows your brain to
483
00:38:46.519 --> 00:38:52.639
get oxygen, blood nutrients pumping back
into it so you're not constantly in the
484
00:38:52.719 --> 00:38:59.320
stress mode or survival mode, which
always leads to scarcity. So meditation,
485
00:38:59.440 --> 00:39:05.480
breath work is another great tool to
recenter yourself as well. Some people love
486
00:39:05.480 --> 00:39:09.760
getting in touch with nature going for
a walk, and I'll combine a few
487
00:39:09.760 --> 00:39:14.480
of those people. Often see me
doing laps around my office building if it's
488
00:39:14.559 --> 00:39:20.280
nice outside in between meetings, and
it's just the time to disconnect from the
489
00:39:20.320 --> 00:39:28.360
technology and connect back with myself and
keep that narrative in my mind and check
490
00:39:28.639 --> 00:39:32.079
because was it I think eighty or
ninety percent of our thoughts are repetitive thoughts.
491
00:39:32.159 --> 00:39:36.039
So we're literally telling ourselves the same
thing over and over and over again.
492
00:39:36.079 --> 00:39:39.880
And if that narrative is negative,
it's going to affect your money.
493
00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:45.000
But where you focus is what grows
and what flows. The more positive we
494
00:39:45.079 --> 00:39:51.119
can be, the better. How
do you like to shift at a scarcity
495
00:39:51.159 --> 00:39:55.119
mode? That's really good? And
I really like that check in with yourself
496
00:39:55.239 --> 00:40:00.599
multiple times during the day, whether
it's through grounding, whether it's to check
497
00:40:00.679 --> 00:40:06.199
in if you have that negative narrative
running, or even if it's just to
498
00:40:06.639 --> 00:40:10.199
run or walk around the block.
So let's say, if somebody were to
499
00:40:10.239 --> 00:40:14.639
come and wanted to work with you, can you share with us if someone
500
00:40:14.719 --> 00:40:17.039
comes to you, what does that
look like? And reckon they connect with
501
00:40:17.079 --> 00:40:22.960
you? Of course they connect with
me At Jessica Weever dot com. We
502

507
00:40:43.119 --> 00:40:46.119
There's money meditations in there, there's
journal work that works on any money
508
00:40:46.159 --> 00:40:52.559
trauma or any narrative that we need
to reboots. And then the practical side,
509
00:40:52.559 --> 00:40:57.159
as they're talking about with the stable
money saver, those systems, so
510
00:40:57.239 --> 00:41:01.920
that really marries the abundant spiritual side
of money with the practical to build the
511
00:41:02.000 --> 00:41:07.639
trust and the behaviors to get yourself
going as well. And we have courses
