“There’s no such thing as being bad with money. You just have bad habits.” -- Helen Ngo
When I turned 18 and went off to college, I thought I was going to be a dentist. Despite growing up in a family of female entrepreneurs, and later realizing a career in medicine wasn’t for me, I never dreamed of starting my own company.
The “aha” moment didn’t come until a few years after college, early in my career in the finance industry. When I asked my boss for a raise, he told me I’d be better off marrying rich.
That was the last time I would ever be shamed for being an ambitious woman.
My fire was lit. So, I fired that 9-5 corporate life for good. Never will I let someone control how much money I make.
On this episode of Live and Earn, I take a turn as the guest with my friend and client Ashley Williams, host of the Birds Mean Business podcast. Ashley and I discuss how my identity and upbringing influenced the drive I bring to my business every day. I also share the one thing I wish I had done before becoming an entrepreneur, and some of the top tips I share with my clients.
What we tackle in this episode:
Why I decided to become an entrepreneur — and help other women specifically How becoming a business owner myself transformed my relationship with my mother and my respect for her own journey as an entrepreneur before me Why there’s no such thing as ‘being bad with money’ How people who earn $6,000 and people who earn $60,000 can actually be making the same amount of money The importance of spending with intention Where your personal life should be before you start a business The types of people entrepreneurs should surround themselves with Why not everyone should be an entrepreneurResources and links mentioned in episode:
