In this episode, host Misti Dian speaks with Candice Baks-Friesen. She is a money and business coach from Winnipeg, Canada.

 

They discuss:

• Candice speaks about her career and how it led her to want to coach. She wanted to help people find the success that they need, overcome barriers and the fears that stop us from knowing what to do or say.
• Sometimes you have to go through something tragic and catastrophic, to have a wake-up call and figure out what you want to do in life. This in return promotes people to want to start their own businesses and paths.
• Sometimes just going with the motions of life when you’re unhappy becomes unfulfilling. Realizing this is a step towards a good path in life and where you want to be.
• We often use money to express or react to issues within our lives.
• How we treat money is often a reaction to something we dealt with growing up.
• Without realizing it, we tend to have feelings of fear or unworthiness with money. Whether that’s having not enough or the fear of losing it, when we do have it.
• We need to think about the possibilities in a positive way, not focus on the negatives. For example, with money we tend to go into survival mode when struggling, its hard to look into the future and to dream.
• Our plans in life aren’t a permanent thing. Sometimes we have to make hard decisions that are just only temporary.
• Everyone has to start at a baseline with money and build from there into more positive things.
• When you make tough decisions are realize they are only temporary, you tend to have better perspective on your life and the positive outcomes.
• Digestible goals are small near future goals that will turn into positive long-term goals.
• If you can get to a stable point by doing some digestible goals, you will have more success and be less stressed.
• You have to seek help and be willing to receive help, to take steps that are needed towards your success.
• Having prosperity consciousness versus desperation is important to being successful towards your goals.
• You must take small accountable steps towards your goals to stay on track by having support from family, friends or other guides. These people should be people you respect, admire and trust.
• Your struggles don’t have to define you.
• Give grace when you can. The highest highs are temporary and so are the lows.
• Be in competition with yourself, that will drive you to more success and to be better.
• You have to remind yourself, its okay to not be good at everything.
• Do not equate yourself with your self-worth.
• Surround yourself with people who are optimistic and positive.
