A Wealthy Life

Episode 37 – What Are You Wasting?

What do two teaspoons of suncream have to do with living a wealthy life? More than you might think! I recently caught myself wasting time in the process of trying to save money – by spending half an hour extracting every drop of suncream from the bottle to go on holiday. This reminded me of the concept of "false economy" which is when an action that starts out saving money ends up costing more. In my case, I might have saved 50p on suncream, but I lost 30 minutes!

Now, there are several common ways we all waste our resources, and I will go over these today, as well as ways to prevent waste. If you are curious about where your financial plan might have some leaks, tune in and prepare to save time and money on your wealth journey!

Episode 36 – Who is Controlling Your Time?

This week I discuss one of your most valuable resources – time. If I had to choose one, I would choose to have more time rather than more money because no matter what we do, we can't gain more time. Fear not, we can manage the time we have so that we have more control and the time we have is put to better use.

Being conscious about how much time our activities take up and how these activities make us feel and think is the first step to using our time the way WE choose to. I want you to feel empowered to retain control over your life rather than spending every moment fulfilling obligations or pleasing other people.

Episode 35 – How adaptable are you? - Show Notes

Episode after episode, I talk about the importance of planning and the freedom and success it can bring to a wealthy life journey. But what do you do when things don't go according to plan?

As I'm sure I don't need to tell you, life seldom goes exactly as we think it will – John Lennon even said "life is what happens when you're busy making other plans." This is why adaptability and flexibility are incredibly useful traits to cultivate if you don't want to get blown off course on a deeply important mission.

Let's brainstorm some ideas and techniques for maintaining happiness and fulfilment even when things don't go to plan.

Episode 34 - What makes you happy and get out of bed with joy? - Show Notes

What really motivates you? What will create a truly happy life for you – not a life that merely lives up to the status quo? There are many boxes we may check that symbolise success; perhaps it is a university degree, a job, a certificate or a milestone. The question is: are these things what you want, or what you are supposed to want?

Let me guide you through my 3-step process to "identify your happy" and kick off a wealth plan with a motivating vision. In the end, we will have a deep and thoughtful list of things that make you happy, a calendar full of happy days and inspiration for ways to achieve those things.

Episode 33 – Back to 2008 - Show Notes

We have been hearing the word "recession" for months, with experts divided and citizens confused. So far it seems that a recession has not yet hit, but lately the news has ramped up reports of a troubled market, rising interest rates and soaring inflation.

On this episode, we will make sense of what all this means for wealth building, with emphasis on property investment, debt and re-mortgaging. What is causing all this economic chaos? How can we carry on with our wealth plans when things are so uncertain? With so much out of our individual control, is there anything we can do to keep our finances in check?

Lucky for you, Vicki got her start in property investment right around the 2008 crisis and has seen it all since then. Tune in for some tested tips to weathering uncertain times.

Episode 32 – A Wealthy Life in Practice - Show Notes

Remember the Five Principles of a Wealthy Life? (Don't worry, if you don't, those podcast episodes are linked below). We have examined what each of these principles is, but today we are putting theory to practice. How do the Five Principles look in action?

I will share several client case-studies to illustrate how awareness of the principles and conscious strategic planning create abundance and success – whatever your goals might be. Some clients want to drop their 9-5 jobs. Some want to grow investment portfolios. Some just want to have more flexibility and freedom. My clients have all succeeded using these principles.

Episode 31 – Who is Controlling Your Thoughts? - Show Notes

Is your mindset holding you back? Could you be happier, more successful or more fulfilled in life? So many of us struggle with limiting beliefs and this can be frustrating. When your beliefs keep saying "no" or "this will never work" your body and mind will follow suit. As a student of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) I know about the power of language and thought in creating change and growth.

The key to prevent limiting beliefs from ruining our plans and our lives is awareness and rewiring. I will explain how we can notice when limiting beliefs keep us from fulfilling our goals, connecting with others or investing in ourselves. We will also go over what you can do when you realize you have limiting beliefs and/or unhealthy behaviours that keep you stuck. If you want to make some changes, I welcome you to listen, write to me or schedule a call to talk more!

In this first podcast recorded following the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, we will talk about what legacy is, why it is important, when our legacy will occur, and how to define what pulls you forward in life. Her Majesty chose to leave a legacy of service, and thanks to her clarity and long-term planning, we all can feel the impact her life has had.

We may not all be heads of state, but our lives can have significant impacts on our family, community and world just the same. It is important to note that legacy does not only have to be financial, but can be any way you choose to make an impact, give back or uplift others after you have passed. Rather than leaving your legacy as a last-minute worry, why not plan it out purposefully and strategically over the long term? This not only ensures that your legacy does not remain an afterthought, but it increases the positive impact your wealth, experience or resources can have for other people (or animals! Or trees!).

We are living a lot longer than we think we will, and more importantly a lot longer than the majority of people are prepared for – leading to a new term of elder-poverty. This is why making good use of your money NOW is so important. The compounding effect of investments made sooner rather than later could make the difference between getting the care and support you need at home when the time comes or becoming a financial burden on your family.

Interested in property investment? Want to know what it entails – all the pros and cons? Lucky for you, Vicki is a property expert with an impressive portfolio under her belt! In this episode, Vicki cuts through the misinformation and gives you the details you need to know to determine if property investing might work for you.

We will discuss the importance of questioning everything, current challenges to property owners and landlords, benefits of property investing over other forms of investing, and what a solid strategy might look like.

Thank you for listening. We'd love it if you would like, subscribe and write us a glowing review!
