A Wealthy Life

Episode 47: Could philanthropy be the answer to A Wealthy Life?

This week I speak with audio producer, philanthropist, author, property investor and mentor Tom Evans about legacy. Tom started his current journey as a corporate audio designer who felt burned out and unmotivated. Gradually, his shift to writing and creating meditations opened up a whole new world of possibility – not only in his career but also in his financial and personal life. Once a city dweller who never dreamed of letting out property, he is now happily based in the country and manages a property portfolio with very happy tenants.

Tom is someone who I have worked with as a coach before and whose impact via his wonderful meditations (see the link to Insight Timer below) has benefitted people around the world. In our conversation, he tells us about how his experience has taught him to control the speed of time, and how what goes around comes around in some beautiful and inspiring ways.

I hope you'll join us and learn from Tom's unique journey to a Wealthy Life.

Episode 46: Why private Landlords are better at solving the housing crisis

This week I am sitting down with Rachael Troughton to speak about property and the role of private landlords in solving housing crises. Rachael is a property owner, podcast host, business mentor, speaker, farm owner and wedding venue proprietor extraordinaire. On an island with limited space, providing enough housing can be challenging. Without private landlords, there simply wouldn't be enough quality places to live.

While private landlords are often depicted as abusive and greedy in the British media, the truth is often the opposite. True private landlords (and not just people looking to make a pound off of letting their garden shed) are subject to dozens of regulations and inspections that prevent issues with mould or leaks and protect the rights and quality of life of tenants. We will be discussion recent legislation around renting, key characteristics of a good landlord, and the pressures and challenges faced by private landlords who are trying to provide safe, decent housing.

Tune in if you are a landlord (or a renter for that matter), or if you have been thinking of investing in property to learn more.

Episode 45: Everyone knows you're faking it

Why? Because they're faking it as well. I'm not talking about "faking it 'til you make it." That can often work and serve the purpose of giving you confidence until you achieve your goals. I'm talking about trying to delude yourself or others that you're something that you're not or that your life is different than it is.

To have a truly sustainable, wealthy life you must be in control of your thoughts and desires. If you spend your energy trying to chase others' approval, you will never get it. Guaranteed. You have to chase what you want and do so from a point of authenticity. Who are you really? What do you really want? What works for you so you can achieve the goals you set for yourself?

Episode 44: Isn't it time you decided for yourself

This episode is all about removing stress from your life! Step One: make sure you are the person calling the shots in your life. Celebrities, marketing and social pressure have no place in your decision making. Step Two: make sure you feel grateful and appreciated. Step Three: do what you want to do with the people you want to spend time with.

Around the holidays, there are several ways you can put these steps into practice. For example, do you even like Christmas pudding or would you prefer chocolate cake? Do your kids need (or even want) 10 new toys or is there one special thing they would love? Do you like holiday parties or would you rather go for a walk with friends? There are sets of rituals we are told we must follow during the holiday season, and I'm sure I'm not the first to tell you how stressful these can be.

I invite you to be discerning this holiday season about what really brings you joy and adds value to your life. In the new year, I invite you to extend this practice to other areas, such as your business, your health and your social life.

Episode 43: Does Your Family Feel Unloved?

People are everything. A life spent in good company will always make us feel wealthier than any job, house or car can. This week I am meditating on how important it is to express love and gratitude to those people who make our lives better - it may seem obvious to us just how appreciated a loved one is, but very often they won't know until we tell them. Tune in to this week's episode to reflect on how to express love and appreciation to those who matter. Abundance increases exponentially when shared - boost your wealthy life journey with some extra love.

What is holding you back from happiness? Maybe nothing at all. But if you are like many people, at least one of these bad habits creeps up to distract and drain you. Working as a wealth strategist isn't only about configuring a spreadsheet; half the battle really encompasses thought patterns and behavioural patterns. There are behaviours and ways of thinking that actually demonstrably make use wealthier.

This week's episode goes over negative habits that block happiness and how you can counter them. PLUS!

Calm down, calm down. No one's dying in this episode; I just want to talk about some of the most important aspects of financial planning. I want to motivate you to set goals and secure achievements you are proud of. What may sound like rather a morbid question is really a surprisingly successful way to identify whether we are living the way we truly wish to live, prioritising what matters most and taking steps to feel fulfilled now and in the far future.

This week I will share a powerful exercise that I like to use instead of goal setting to motivate myself and my clients to make serious plans for success. We're going deep this week to identify the most essentially vital parts of our lives, the memories and goals that make us happy to be alive and to keep planning and pushing forward.

Episode 40: What Do You Want for Your Family?

It seems like a simple question, doesn't it? But what you want for your family can encompass a multitude of things. It might refer to values you want your children to live by; it might suggest a career path or level of wealth and prestige; it might mean spirit and lifestyle – do you want to raise a world traveller or a poet?

What you want for you family should guide the decisions you make around finances, education, investing and much more. We all know a family that chooses a private school over a public school, parents who move to better neighbourhoods so their kids have more resources, and kids who have three tutors and a coach to guide them. There are those who emphasize emotional enrichment and experiential learning. The combinations are endless.

What I want to encourage you to do is to reflect on why you want the things you want for your kids, where these values come from, how to implement them as a parent or guardian, and whether they are a good fit for your child and your financial situation. Tune in today to hear my thoughts on how to do this successfully so you pass on the best of your values while allowing your children and grandchildren to shine.

Your belief system is an incredibly powerful influence on your behaviour, and by extension your life outcomes. When we believe we deserve and can have success, love, fun and wealth we tend to actually achieve these things.

This happens because our beliefs create our reality; they might cause us to make smarter or more focused decisions, to commit or persevere, to try rather than give up or accept defeat. It is up to you to make sure your beliefs around key goals and achievements are positive, open and conscious.

For example: two different people might both believe money is scarce and we need to be careful with it. Person A believes this means they have to scrimp and save and refrain from making any investments or taking any chances. Person B believes this means they have to do extra research and prepare before making big decisions, but that they should not miss every opportunity. Who do you think will see more success in the long run? Where did the success come from? Their beliefs and attitudes!

I invite you to take a moment to think about your own beliefs and attitudes about money this week, and evaluate where they come from, whether they are serving you, and how you can change them to succeed in the long run. Enjoy the episode, and don't forget to leave a glowing review!

The title of the episode sums it up! When we create a wealth plan and strive to live a wealthy life, it is so much more meaningful than gaining money or adhering to thrift. It is about how you feel, what your daily choices mean and how your legacy impacts the world.

This is the last episode recorded on holiday in Greece. I will sum up the insights from the past few weeks and include insights designed to maximise happiness and purpose while saving time and effort. Living a happy wealthy life doesn't have to be so hard… it just takes intention and a little planning.
