James kicks off the first of a four-part series about the Enneagram. He gives a basic outline of what the Enneagram tool is and how it can help you relate to others, especially in their money decisions. 

Oftentimes, personality assessments create labels for your personality, and it’s used as an excuse to act a certain way. In contrast, the Enneagram offers insights into your strengths, weaknesses, and motivations behind WHY you are the way you are. 

James offers a quick summary of each of the 9 personality types on the Enneagram and how each of these types may relate to their financial decisions.
