1. What is one fun fact about you that not that many people know?

I have almost 20 plants and they’re all named and I love them very, very much. The most recent addition to the plant family is Keith and Keith, is this like a luscious green philodendron and he looks amazing.

2. Who inspires you the most and why?

My parents have been really amazing role models to me, especially financially.  I wouldn’t be able to do this, had I not had that guidance.  As far as someone, I don’t know, or someone famous Elizabeth Gilbert’s work has been hugely impactful in my life.

For those of you who are not familiar, she wrote Eat, Pray, Love among other things, but I’ve seen her speak twice. Her work has been so, so impactful in the way I see the world in the way I coach. And yeah, she’s amazing.

4. What is one actionable tip or piece of advice that you can tell our moms out there to help them on their financial independence journey?

I would say automate your savings.

That’s my number one thing. I want you to take away that that you can start changing your financial life completely on autopilot just by saying, okay, I want 5% of my paycheck or $500 automatically put into savings. So you don’t have to think about it and you don’t have to worry about it.

It’s just going to grow automatically.

4. What is one actionable tip or piece of advice that you can tell our moms out there to help them on their financial independence journey?

Systematize your life girl! You have to take stuff off of your plate that you don’t need to waste time on. But just like paying off student loans and how we manage the household finances, it doesn’t matter how much money you’re putting away. It just matters that you’ve started to put it away and that you’ve built in automated systems that work for your life to guarantee that you’re going to be contributing the 1% or the 2% to whatever it is that keeps you moving forward.

1. What is one fun fact about you that not that many people know?

My parents were first cousins. They came from a different time culture and era. I grew up in Egypt and have a big family. When my father was looking for someone, he had his eye on my mother. They thought it was a great idea because they both came from a good family.

2. Who inspires you the most and why?

My parents. My dad was an entrepreneur who grew a massive business. He was very successful and ended up helping a lot of people as a result. My mom was only high school educated and came from Egypt straight to Montreal with two kids. At the time, I wasn’t one of them. I came later on in the scene and she decided she wanted to go get a job. She barely spoke English but still went to work in a bank as a secretary. She could barely type, but they gave her the job anyway. She was very determined and she worked her way up to becoming a bank manager. They were both very driven individuals who always made family come first, and had a spirit for life.

4. What is one actionable tip or piece of advice that you can tell our moms out there to help them on their financial independence journey?

I’m going to give you a journaling prompt. Right before you go do anything, think about how you’re thinking about things, because the way you think about anything will determine how things unfold. That’s the law. So take a piece of paper and a pen and write down these questions. What do I really, really want?

That’s question number one, and I have two really’s in there on purpose. Think about what you really want, not what your spouse wants, not what your mother wants, not what your kids want, not what your neighbors want, or what you think you should want. What do you truly deeply personally want? The second question is, so what’s stopping me from having it?

Write down all the reasons, “oh, you know, I’m tired. I have kids, I have responsibilities. I have no money.” Write all of those reasons down and start to understand that they are a function that comes from your beliefs. Those things need to be addressed and challenged before you take action.

Bobby: Bobby started a personal finance blog called Millennial Money Man back in 2015 after paying off $40,000 of student loan debt on his teaching salary. He then foolishly quit his teaching job after making $3 from his website, realized he needed to make money quickly, started providing digital marketing services for local small businesses, and continued to grow his website.

Fast forward to now, and he’s still a professional blogger (yes, it’s a real thing), and has had millions of loyal readers come to his website over the years. He’s also a Forbes contributor and has been featured in CNBC, Yahoo Finance, Forbes, Business Insider, and a whole bunch of other fancy media outlets. As you can tell, he thinks highly of himself (but in a very humble and likable way).

Mike: Mike is a recovering attorney, Aggie, and all-around digital marketing badass. After starting an online fitness coaching on the side during law school, Mike started running Facebook ads for himself to bring in more clients. He quickly realized that he was a ninja master at running Facebook ads, and other people started to pay him to run theirs too. He ditched the fitness business, decided being a lawyer was overrated, fell in love with wine, and went on to grow a multi-six figure per year Facebook ad agency. Oh, and he did all of that as a stay-at-home dad to three small humans. (Between you and me, I’m pretty sure they are robot children)

1. What is one fun fact about you that not that many people know?

Bobby: People think that I’m extroverted and I am not at all. I hate going outside, but I hate talking to people generally if I can avoid it just because it’s, I’m just very introverted.

Mike: I never went through puberty and still do not grow facial hair.

2. Who inspires you the most and why?

Bobby: One of the very fortunate things about my businesses is that I’ve had a front-row seat to a lot of people changing their lives in a lot of different ways. I’m not just talking about running Facebook ads and all that kind of stuff. I’ve been able to watch people completely change over the five going on six years that I’ve been running Millennial Money Man it’s just people come into either the website or communities that I run or, or whatever and they feel they can’t do something. Then you just see them kind of evolve and become completely different people over the years. The same thing happened for me, I never thought that I would be at the point where I am now, owning multiple businesses and I’m doing pretty well in business.

Mike: This is hard because I’m not a rah-rah person. I don’t watch motivational videos or read biographies or anything like that. I mean, it’s funny. That’s very internal. I’m very internally motivated. If somebody ticks me off that motivates the heck out of me. If I feel slighted by another business owner, I see somebody passing us on something. I’m like, it’s crushed.

Bobby: Company of One by Paul Jarvis

Mike: The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan

4. What is one actionable tip or piece of advice that you can tell our moms out there to help them on their financial independence journey?

Bobby:  Start today. I mean it, start today.  Everybody has some kind of goal that they’ve wanted, but they keep pushing it off. You have to start at some point and you have to jump in. If you don’t, you’re going to be upset with yourself later. The other tip, perfection is a form of procrastination. You probably shouldn’t pride yourself on that because it is a very clever way of putting things off.

Mike: You should start something, You should start a side hustle and it doesn’t have to be long-term, but do something for a little while because the best way to achieve your financial goals is not to cut out every single little thing. You can do that, but you can achieve your financial goals so much faster by accelerating your ability to reach them by adding an influx of cash. I would say just from my experience, you never know what will happen.

4. What is one actionable tip or piece of advice that you can tell our moms out there to help them on their financial independence journey?

Look at where your spends are and ask yourself, do I need this now? If the answer is no, put that money aside and even $5 here and there will add up. What you’re doing by saving now is you’re paying your future self. Sacrifice now because you may not need it and treat your future self, to a relaxing life.

One business coach has forged his approach to helping entrepreneurs and business executives by using a monumental personal failure and eventual redemption to help get others where they need to go to find their personal success and fulfillment.

At just 18 years old, Miha Matlievski, a Slovenian high school dropout, dreamed of becoming a successful entrepreneur. And he pursued it with a passion, putting in 12 years of hard work that resulted in four successful businesses and a personal net worth of $15M.

But in December 2009, an unexpected call from his bank, which had decided to foreclose on his real estate investments, brought his world crashing down around him. That one negative event instigated an avalanche of ruin for him and his businesses, resulting in his four, once-successful companies going bankrupt.

Embracing that previous failure, Miha began to climb out of his rut and take charge of his own life once again. In 2014, he created a new startup, generating eight figures in less than a year. Many publications in Slovenia approached him and his story went viral.

Since Miha’s “resurrection,” he has been known as The Fail Coach. In that capacity, he helps entrepreneurs around the world embrace and has a healthy relationship with failure with the goal of reaching a higher level of success.

1. What is one fun fact about you that not that many people know?

Many years ago, the only sound investment that I ever made in that past life before failure was before Gordon Ramsey was famous. I had three weeks of coaching on cooking and that was the best experience of that part of my life and the only smart investment I made.

2. Who inspires you the most and why?

There are so many people who’ve inspired me in many different ways. One person that I take a lot of knowledge from is Albert Einstein. A few years ago I came across the quote “Don’t just be a man of success, rather be a man of value.” That’s the only quote that stuck in my head and every single day, there’s at least one thing that I do where I bring value to others. I really live it every single day. It’s my new year’s resolution, my everyday resolution. If I don’t do anything else, every single day I make sure I bring value to other people.

4. What is one actionable tip or piece of advice that you can tell our moms out there to help them on their financial independence journey?

Write it down and be mindful about how you manage your money. Maybe,  create a few different bank accounts and split up your money into different buckets and so on. Often, it’s not the big things that we buy that get us into debt.  It’s all those little things that we don’t even notice. Five bucks here, $10 here, $20 here, but they accumulate to a lot. Make it a habit that before you spend something, you put it in the notebook. It will make you rethink whether you really need to make that purchase.
