Mel's latest motorcycle ride was windy, cloudy and absolute perfection. Join her on this Ride Report as she details why strong winds blew her in the right direction today and how seizing the opportunity to kickstart your engine is always 100% better than watching and waiting for the 'right' moment to hit ignition. Because 50% chance of rain is still 50% of clear skies. 

This quick rip reminded Mel to always fully off the throttle before upshifting into your next gear. At the end of the episode, Mel shares the cool thing about running a women's motorcycle podcast which is expanding her idea of freedom and what is possible for women in the motorcycle industry. 

Kickstands up!

At the end of the episode Mel shares what is giving her freedom this week.

Kicking the kickstand up and rolling the throttle on my first ride back proved that a forced pit stop doesn't kill your passion - it just makes the open road feel that much sweeter. I'm sharing the story of my first time back in the saddle after a 5 month break due to a wrist injury and how it felt so freeing and amazing to be back in control of my life. At the end of the episode I'm sharing how going braless and dreaming in terms of dynasties is giving me freedom this week.

You wouldn’t abandon your motorcycle on the open road, yet so many of us are abandoning our financial future without even realizing it. I'm sharing a story of the time I accidentally made $900 in investment dividends and how it made me realize that investing equals freedom: for my bank account, my time, and my future. Investing and motorcycles have a lot in common, surprisingly, so I'm putting this conversation in that context to make it more fun and interesting. Discovering $900 in dividends was like when you take a new route on your motorcycle and discover an incredible new place you want to go back to again and again - you just need to figure out the route first.  And at the end of the episode I'll share with you a house and packing update and the manifestation principle that is giving me freedom this week. 

Here's how we're investing for financial independence:

1. Look at your bank account and figure out what you can afford to set aside on a monthly basis. If you can do $20 - great. If you can do $20 a week, even better. It's less about how much money, and more about time in market. The sooner you invest the more you can take advantage of compounding and increase your investments over time.

2. Open a brokerage account. Something like Fidelity - check what is appropriate for your country. Set up automatic deposits from your bank to this brokerage account. Make sure the transfer hits within a day or two of getting paid. Pay yourself FIRST by investing.

3. Pick your investments - Warren Buffet recommends low-cost S&P 500 index funds for beginners - which means by buying one stock you actually buy the market and get dividends automatically. But remember to reinvest those dividends!

4. Next thing, keep doing it - rain, hail or shine. Monthly investing no matter the economic conditions is called Dollar cost averaging (another strategy recommended by Warren Buffet). Slow and steady investing ain't glamorous but neither are motorcycle helmets.

5. Next, feed your mind content that will empower you. Do this by downloading the yahoo finance app. Read articles even though they don’t make sense. The words will sink in, you will understand them over time, and become more and more proficient in these topics. Knowkledge is power. And you're more powerful than a 2000 CC engine.

Before long, you will have another income stream in addition to your 9-5. Basically a side hustle without the hustle.

There's a terrifying rule every motorcyclist learns the hard way: whatever hazard you stare at is the exact thing you are going to hit. Today I'm sharing a story of the time I almost crashed my motorcycle as a new rider and how I saved it at the last moment. It was scary but absolutely necessary to shift my behavior from looking at what I don’t want, to looking at where I want to go. And at the end I'll share with you a house update and the best ways I am vibing out that is giving me freedom this week.

Five months off my motorcycle taught me something counterintuitive: sometimes, the absolute fastest way forward in life is to stop gripping the handlebars so tightly, ease off the throttle, and learn how to navigate the curves. In this episode I'll share a story of my right hand wrist injury and how it's held me back from literally rolling the throttle on my motorcycle for 5 months, how it taught me that movement is necessary but we don’t always need to go full throttle - and that exact knowledge is helping me ease back into riding. And at the end I'll share with you a house update and the no-cost activity that is giving me freedom this week.
