  • Poor is a choice...and here's why.

    Episode 029! In today's podcast I'm sharing a conversation that was sparked by a quote I posted on Facebook. The quote was "Remember, the loudest boo’s tend to come from the cheapest seats."

    A comment was made about "poor people" and it sparked this inner dialog within my head. Poor is a choice. No, life isn't always sunshine and rainbows, but if we start by learning how to control the thoughts within our hear, the excuses we make for ourselves, then we will be able to not only achieve financial stability, but maybe even great financial success.


    Within this episode I share over 10 ways you can generate an extra income, some without even leaving the couch. There are always opposing forces as we move to achieve something better for ourselves and the ones we love, but how you decide to respond will determine your success or failure.


    I would love to hear your thoughts and feedback on this episode. Make sure you take a photo of the episode, tag me in your stories on Instagram (@theonlymaryelizabeth) or Facebook (Mary-Elizabeth Wratten) so I can celebrate you!
