The Dreamers Podcast

Most parents would want their kids to leave home with a solid understanding of personal finance. For that to happen, we need to provide our kids with the skills and toolkit necessary for them to become financially responsible and build their own wealth. The objective is that they become financially savvy and are confident with their decisions about money as they progress through the different stages of life.Tune in to this episode as I share tools and tips to help kids:Earn more Money - Explore ways to encourage your children to earn money on their own.Manage their money - Discover tips to teach your kids about budgeting, saving, and responsible spending.Learn to invest - Provide guidance on the basics of investing and its essence in starting at an early ageDreamers' Wealth of Wisdom My goal as a parent is that by the time my kids leave my house and go off to the next stage of their life, when they become adults they have a good understanding when it comes to finances.It's not about doing things for them so that they can build wealth. It's about teaching them the skills, giving them the toolkit, so that they can be financially savvy and build their own wealth.If we take the time to teach them habits that they can carry with them into adult life, then that will likely positively impact their finances and the quality of life that they live long term.Mentioned in the Show:GreenlightIf you enjoyed today’s episode, here’s what you can do to support me and help more Dreamers discover the podcast:Leave a review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to podcasts.

As a passionate book lover, I'm captivated by the unique ability of books to inspire and provide exceptional education. Books are truly special. They can provide a wealth of wisdom that can positively guide us toward living a wealthy life on our terms.So, I am very excited to share the invaluable insights I received from 3 books that had a life-changing impact on my life:Smart Couples Finish Rich: 9 Steps to Creating a Rich Future for You and Your Partner by David BachI've Been Thinking . . .: Reflections, Prayers, and Meditations for a Meaningful Life by Maria ShriverBlack Privilege: Opportunity Comes to Those Who Create It by Charlamagne Tha GodIn this week’s episode, I dig deep into the lessons I learned from these books and the role each of them played in my pursuit of living a wealthy life.Dreamers' Wealth of Wisdom You are the hero of your own story. So own the story of your life, value it.We are unique and our individual stories are unique.If you work together with your spouse, you can build a wealthy life.Each one of us has privileges that we can leverage to become who we are meant to become or who we want to become, go after our dreams.There's something that you have that someone lacks and if you learn to appreciate that, then you can tap into that and then achieve greatness. Find gratitude in just everything that I already have, instead of focusing on where I want to get to – what I'm missing, what I'm lacking.If you enjoyed today’s episode, here’s what you can do to support me and help more Dreamers discover the podcast:Leave a review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Have you been feeling that you’re stuck in a cycle and can’t move forward on your wealth-building journey? You may have experienced one of the common wealth mental blocks that a lot of us deal with.In this episode, I tackle 5 common mental blocks preventing us from building long-term wealth and share resources to overcome them.The Scarcity Mindset - you believe that resources and wealth are limited.Fear of Becoming Wealthy - you fear success or doubt your capabilities.Fear of Failure - avoid risks that lead to your missed opportunities.The Comparison Trap - you constantly compare yourself to others which leads to feelings of inadequacy.Lack of Long-Term Plan - you prioritize short-term pleasure over long-term goals which hinders wealth-building.Recommended books and articles to overcome mental blocksDreamers' Wealth of Wisdom The thing with the scarcity mindset is if you don't acknowledge it and deal with it and recognize it, it can lead to even earning less money.Focus on delivering the best quality that you can so that you can command those prices.I would rather try and fail than not try years down the road you wish you had.Spend money on the things that we care about, that add value to our lives.Short-term things should come after investing in your future and your retirement.The lack of long-term planning translates to putting too much emphasis on saving.If you enjoyed today’s episode, here’s what you can do to support me and help more Dreamers discover the podcast:Leave a review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to podcasts.
