ILLUMINATE DIGITAL®: Online Business Strategy for Social Impact Leaders & Changemakers

Dear listeners, I've got something on my heart to share. 

 💚 For about a year now, I've been going through a big shift personally as a creator, advocate, business and financial coach, business owner, mother, wife, and human being. It's been bringing me in new directions and has been leading to lots of growth. 

💚 I've felt a similar "pulling toward" feeling many times in life. Especially before starting Immigrant Finance,™ which led to its creation. It usually starts with discomfort, fear, doubt, and future-tripping. Followed by a surge of energy pulling me into an unknown direction. Finally, I am led to the next step in my journey. 

💚 Many of you are going through similar experiences. As you journey through your financial empowerment or other aspects of life, you may be going through overwhelming fear and doubt. 

💚 You may think something is wrong, not realizing you're actually going through massive growth. This happens a lot with our coaching students before they have a major financial, business, or mindset breakthrough. 

💚 To build wealth and step into complete abundance, we have to constantly grow as people. 

❤️Check out this episode to hear more about the process of growth, and some exciting updates for this show that have come out of the creative process! 

With love, 

Adina

An ITIN is an individual tax identification number. It is an alternative solution for some immigrants who do not qualify for a social security number.

The importance of credit is not always properly understood. To buy a cell phone, a house, or a car in the U.S. it is essential to have credit.

Priya Nakra is Nova Credit’s Head of Product for its Credit Passport solution. In her role, Priya leads the product and design functions for Nova’s core solution that is making Nova the world’s premier cross-border credit bureau. For speaking topics, Priya is able to expand on the barriers newcomers face when accessing financial services and how Nova Credit is making the financial system borderless through Credit Passport.

Priya shares her family's story of immigrating from India and starting a new life in the United States, and how their journey and her personal experience helped her understand the importance of building generational wealth and assisting other immigrants to build their credit. 

👉 In this episode, Priya explains the importance of having a credit passport to open many doors for immigrants in the United States. 

This can change the direction of immigration laws. 

🎙Listen to episode #140 to get a clear idea of the value of building credit in the U.S. as an immigrant.

Vina Ranaivoarijaona is a first-generation immigrant from Madagascar, a graduate of Towson University, and an investment advisor with Charles Schwab.

Vina is a licensed investment advisor representative and a life and health insurance producer.  

👉 In this episode, he shares with us how to prevent the stress and anxiety that can come when you start thinking about your retirement and changing your mindset to see it as a way to have more peace of mind.  

✨ If you start thinking about your retirement, and work towards it, you can have investments that generate a stable income and you will enjoy the fruits of your labor.

There is mindset work to do, but it is not impossible. You have nothing to lose by trying to overcome these feelings. You have a lot to gain once you overcome them. 💚

Time is the one resource that we'll never get back. We have to use it wisely.

We have been taught that to achieve our goals we have to work very hard, that it has to be difficult, and that we have to wait for the perfect time.😥

👉Don't wait for the "perfect moment"; define your goals and start working on your dreams!

Starting a business can be scary. Doubt takes over, and fear comes along with it; therefore a lot of mindset work needs to be done. Financially speaking, starting a business is the best thing you can do. 🙌

There's no law that says immigrants can't start a business. 

Finding your purpose can create an impact on your life and other's.

Don't let your power be determined by immigration racism. YOU have the power. ✨

Don't limit yourself to having a business and building wealth because you think you need someone else's permission. Do what you’re meant to do.
