I talk to Cassandra Cummings, president of RC Wealth Management, LLC, a Registered Investment Advisory firm and the Founder of The Stocks & Stilettos Society, an investment community of women. She’s been working for over 10 years to transform financial lives.

I first connected with Cassandra on Instagram. She came on my IG LIVE broadcast to leave a positive word of encouragement when it came to starting and running a business. Later on, we connected in a Facebook group we are both members in and I did a Facebook LIVE in her Stocks & Stiletto’s group discussing my own investment strategies.

Since then, I’ve considered Cassandra my virtual #goalmother. I admire the way she runs her businesses and the way she cultivates and helps her community. Her Stocks & Stilettos group ride hard for her!

• The different types of investments to invest in
• How to begin if you have only a little amount of money to invest
• What someone should do if they have no idea where to begin
• Why even if you have debt you shouldn’t wait to start investing
• How to evaluate a company you want to invest in

YNAB -  You can try it free for 34 days and after that its $5 a month or $50 a year. I recommend you at least sign up for the free trial. If you don’t want to continue after the trial, you will have at least practiced active budgeting for a month. If you sign up beyond the 34-day free trial using my referral link, you’ll get a month free and I’ll get a month free, seems like a win-win to me!

Learn more about myself and what Journey To Launch is all about. I cover:

• My backstory, where I grew up and how being raised by a single mom help teach me the value of money at an early age
• My crazy 3-4 hour driving commute and the mental breakdown that occurred when I was pregnant with my first son and how that made me want to figure out a way to retire early
• Why I started Journey To Launch & why I started the podcast
• What you can expect from the podcast, what the show format will be and the types of topics that will be discussed 

P.S. I recorded this introductory episode at least 4x already but I’ve made up my mind that the one you are hearing now will be the last take. I realized that I was being too critical of myself and that I couldn’t get everything to be perfect as I’d like. But that’s the beauty of this journey. Everything doesn’t have to perfect, you’ll get better the more you do and push yourself forward.
