Best Money & Life Advice for 2017

/

After all the planning, plotting, and presents, are you peaceful? I hope so. I spend a lot of time talking about money and investments, but if there’s no peace behind it, I know that all of the materials and experiences tend to feel empty.  

So, my hope for you in this last week of 2016 is that you recognize your value, because when you value all that you are, the peace comes. As such, know that I see you….

 

I see your desire to take control of your money and investments.

I see that you want some things to be different next year.

I see what you have to offer this world---- BIG things

I see that you’ve been reading my stuff most times (lol…yes, I know if you open my emails – no pressure, almost).

 

You didn’t know that I could see all of that, right? Well, I do. If you still need a little pick-me-up, check out the gifts I gave you a few weeks back.

 

I can’t believe this year is almost over! When we started 2016, I declared it to be the “Year of Action.” As you reflect on your own money successes and failures, I hope that you latch onto the highs and learn from the lows, as they all contribute to be your full self.

 

I want to leave you with a few goodies before 2016 ends:

 

Plan & Make it Happen. What I’ve learned from all of the money mavens that I admire (including my mom), very few money successes come without planning.
