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

Join us for a fascinating discussion with Fijeh Aadum of @ImmigrantsThrive all about social entrepreneurship - creating a social impact business from a place of service to help others - including her entrepreneurial journey in Nigeria and her recent experience creating an online business after immigrating to the U.S.

Fijeh Aadum is a bestselling author of Masters of Success, speaker, educator, and founder of Immigrants Thrive and FRAFoundation. She hosts the Thrive with Fijeh, a Financial Literacy Podcast that teaches people to take control of their finances, lead in business, and create generational wealth starting with what they have. She throws light on the issues of Money, Wealth, and Finance in The USA and Canada. 

It can often be a limiting belief that we are afraid to make more money because we think people who have money are bad. How much money someone has is separate from whether they are a good or bad person. People are people, and there are good and bad people out there in the world. Whether someone is good is based on that individual person's integrity, values, and ethics, not how much money they have. Money is just an amplifier - it allows good people to spread more good in the world, and bad people more bad.

Listen to hear why we don't believe in no spend days. In short, they don't work long-term, and they can do significant damage on your financial confidence and money mindset when you're trying to transition to building wealth. Like a crash diet, no spend days can give you a quick fix to address overspending habits. But they won't  help you sustainably build better habits to manage your money and reach financial freedom.

It is very difficult to make any real change in your finances in terms of wealth building if the total income number you’re working with in your budget doesn’t grow.

Sneak peek - part of it comes down to resisting the way immigrants have been historically treated as cheap labor under U.S. immigration policy. This image is of people who were part of the Bracero program, which was a policy that allowed the U.S. to use Mexican immigrants for labor when labor supply was low and then swiftly deport them when no longer needed. Much of immigration law has been built on this foundation. We discuss further in the episode how learning how to generate income on your own is a way to build power in direct resistance.

We would love help you strategize about an online business side hustle that can help you increase income. Book a complimentary 30 minute consultation: https://immigrantfinance.as.me/onlinebusinessstrategy

Embracing an abundance money mindset is  not only something you can start to do no matter what financial situation you're in, but also the key to changing your financial circumstances.
