Three Questions to Ask Yourself:

  1. What was the money culture in your home growing up?
  2. How did you feel about yourself and money when you entered adulthood
  3. How did it effect your relationship with money and your work ethic?

Bio:

I was a single mother who lost everything; I found myself with no money, no job, no car, no place to live and the sole support for my two children...TWICE.  I knew that I had to rebuild again. This time, instead of just looking for a job with a big paycheck, I was going to find a way to grow my money. I envisioned creating a series of income producing “micro empires” that would protect me, my family and my assets.  I felt like I was running out of time; I was in my 40s, with zero retirement funds, no assets and no clue how to begin.

After struggling to pay bills and stay above water, I wasn’t about to follow the advice of a blogger in a coffee shop telling me to ‘quit my job’ and ‘follow my dreams’.  I also couldn't get what I needed  from established billionaires whose advice was too broad.  I needed concrete steps that I could easily follow and I didn’t know where to begin or where to turn.

Over the next 4 years, I took tiny, actionable steps that moved me in the direction of these goals.  I surrounded myself with the right people and took calculated, educated moves. I did not quit my job. I did not win the lottery. I did not get an inheritance.  I manipulated my 401k, I learned about new vehicles
