Gratitude Geek: Business Education for Gen X Women Solopreneurs

As a business attorney and coach, Asha's primary focus is helping entrepreneurs find the legal, financial, and business information they need to build a business and leave a legacy. Whether the business is a full-time endeavor, a side hustle, or a gig, knowledge helps create financial stability and security for generations to come.

This week’s episode of the Be Who You Want to Be: Your Business, Your Life Podcast, is a rebroadcast of a classic Gratitude Geek show filmed on location in 2014 at Conroe Coffee in Conroe, Texas.

Times change and Conroe Coffee is NOW Vernele’s Bayou Bakery. However, the financial advice of my interviewee, Deanna Ooley, is still as strong as espresso.

Deanna Ooley is a Dave Ramsey Certified Financial Counselor. In fact, she is the recipient of the 2012 Outstanding Financial Peace Coordinator of the Year award.  In this interview from 2014, she shares some practical advice for finding financial freedom.

Pay close attention because Deanna is one of the reasons my husband, Shane, and I were able to retire before either of us turned 50.

Key Discussion Points

• That time Deanna figured out her education taught her how to spend money, not save
• The steps to getting out of debt can be scary
• Everyone intends to pay off their credit cards
• Using cash is the secret to getting out of debt
• “If we were doing math, we wouldn’t be in credit card debt.”
• Eliminating debt may help eliminate body weight
