In today’s episode I talk with bestselling author and financial coach, Victoria Sexton. We talk about how knowing what we really want can have a powerful impact on all our decisions related to money and our careers.

She shares how viewing ourselves as a “business of one” can make a big difference in every area of our life. This is a perspective I personally found intriguing and helpful.

Victoria also explains why it’s important for us to remember that personal finances are just that, personal and unique to each of us. The rules of thumb that work for some people aren’t the best approach for others.

And, be sure to stick around toward the end to hear how Victoria’s question when she was an ambitious analyst early in her career caused the Chief Financial Officer of a major corporation to “almost lose his mind”.

As you’ll find out, Victoria isn’t shy when it comes to asking hard questions and dealing with the truth.

This conversation is loaded with lots of good discussion about how to properly view money and our careers.
