In this episode I speak with Em Gee, a Business & Mindset Coach from Be Think Do Coaching.

In less than five years as a solo-preneur Em Gee has become a best selling author and international business and mindset coach to women all over the world. Her unwavering belief in all women to shine as leaders in their own fields, has led her to teach 'unstoppability' as a quality already there to be unleashed from within every single business owner she works with. As a mum of two young girls, Em Gee prides herself on being transparent, authentic and true to her values, all while scaling her business in ways not everyone expects. Thinking out of the box is her style, paving the way for others to do the same and get equally unstoppable results.

Listen to Em Gee's journey and take on money!

What does comfortable mean, and why is it so disastrous when it comes to needing or wanting to make financial changes in your life? After all, it's "fine" OK?

Unless something dramatic happens in life, we tend to cruise along and time passes. When it comes to money, time = compounding, so you can't afford to waste a moment!

Figure out how to break out of feeling comfortable and make the changes you need to make now, rather than feeling comfortable for too long and missing out on building wealth.

There are so many things that underpin our relationship with money. The way to move from money overwhelm to peace of mind is to act with deliberate intention, rather than random decisions that may or may not benefit you. Knowing your Core Values is a fundamental way to make this transformation happen.

Are you part of the Sandwich Generation? For those who haven't heard of this, it is people who are taking care of ageing parents (and possibly even grandparents) as well as their own young children. In Australia, the typical demographic for this are women in their mid to late 40s who are also employed.

Nearly 50% of adults in this generation will find themselves caring for ageing parents and their children while balancing work and social lives.

Can you relate to this? I know I certainly can. In this episode I go through my own experiences, and things that I've done to help with the extra workload!

Buy Now Pay Later has been around for hundreds of years. Not in it's current form, but the concept of personal debt is nothing new. The key is to spend less than you earn. That said, we have all been overwhelmed by debt at some point in our lives. This podcast goes through a step by step strategy for what to do to get out of this kind of debt.

This episode might have an attention seeking title, but there are no "secrets" or "magic pills" when it comes to being a "success" with money. What does being a success even mean?

The most important thing that you can do is to TAKE ACTION! And, to take that action consistently and regularly.

Alpha helps you to push through the inertia to get your money sorted, one step at a time.

Reading is a great way to chill out and also to learn new things, or to have things you have read or experienced before reinforced.

There are some really good money books out there, and in this podcast I go through my favourites. I also go through my non-money book favourites too (fancy some Agatha Christie, or Ken Follett, or Simon Sinek???).

Sharing what we read is a great human experience.
