  • 46. What Is Financial Coaching?

    Are you unhappy with your finances or desire to change your financial situation? Do you believe you could be doing better financially but don’t know where to start?

    While most people seek financial coaching looking for someone to tell them what to do, for many, the problem isn’t knowing what to do, the problem is implementation. You are more than capable of building wealth on your own, but your financial coach will hold you accountable as you implement your individual financial plan. 

    As you seek financial services, it’s important to clearly understand the duties and responsibilities of the many professions that make up financial care. From vision through implementation to completion of your goals, this week we’re breaking down what Financial coaching is and isn’t so that you’re equipped with the tools you need to manage your money confidently, live life purposefully, and build wealth intentionally.

  • 45. Abundant Living: Embracing New Opportunities

    How often do you look at something and immediately dismiss it?

    As Wealth Partners, when we use phrases like, “That's not me” or “I don’t do that,” we limit our thinking and prevent ourselves from embracing new opportunities. Whether we unintentionally pass up great love, a fulfilling career, and even monetary blessings, limiting beliefs have the power to derail us from our living in abundance.

    This week on The Abundant Living Podcast, we are unpacking what it truly means to live abundantly. We all have opportunities all around us and just because something may not be in alignment with who we were, doesn’t mean it won't help us evolve into who we want to become.

    Even if it may not look the way you imagined, don't turn away from the blessings God has put in place. Renew your mind to be able to see God’s hand in everything, and remember that God’s Will, not our will, is the only path to an abundant life.

    Let’s Embrace Abundant Living:

    2:45 - Embrace New Opportunities

    8:00 - Broaden Your Thinking

    13:00 - Be Intentional About Accepting Yourself

    19:00 - Express Your Inner Brightness

    22:13 - Let Go Of Limiting Thinking

    27:10 - Don’t Tell Me, Show Me

    Abundant Living: Embracing New Opportunities Takeaways
    • “Self-care is so important.” - Weslia Echols
    • “Keep your mind focused on the provision that God has made for you.” - Willa Williams
    • “Embracing new opportunities is key to an abundant life.” - Weslia Echols
    • “Push past the dollar amount that you put on yourself.” - Willa Williams
    • “I want to present myself outwardly, as good as I feel inwardly.” - Weslia Echols
    • “I love who I am, I love the space that I’m in, therefore I am going to present that wherever I go.” - Weslia Echols
    • “You can make a change in your life and it can be good for you.” - Willa Williams
    • “We all have opportunities all around us.” - Weslia Echols
    • “Get beyond telling people what you’re going to do and get to the point where you intentionally show people what you’re going to do, what you’re about, and who you are.” - Weslia Echols
    • “The abundant life that God has for us never changes. We just have to show up and live in it.” - Willa Williams

    • 44. Overcoming Negative Self-Talk

      Negative self-talk can creep in and impact our lives in more ways than we can ever imagine and without us realizing it.     It can cause us to become our own worst enemy.  But when we recognize it, we can change the negative self-talk to a more positive, encouraging, and motivating message to ourselves.     This was a real reality for us at TFC when we were beginning to launch The Abundant Living Podcast.

      We looked at the time, effort, and skills needed to be successful and doubted if we were really prepared or should move forward in the midst of all the things going on last year during the pandemic.  We were challenged with the same things many faces every day.  The negativity surrounding COVID-19, caring for aging parents, helping kids graduate college, building our business, and all this in the midst of establishing new households after moving to our dream homes.

      Nevertheless!!!! We got clarity and recognized that we had begun to listen to the roar of the enemy and not the still small voice of our Father.   So here we are today, we just celebrated the one-year anniversary of The Abundant Living Podcast.   We heard God, trusted Him and He got it all done through us.   Our self-talk went from doubting to encouraging and when it did our eyes and hearts opened to the reality of what God was doing and we overcame all negative self-talk.

      On this episode of The Abundant Living Podcast, “Overcoming Negative Self-Talk“, our conversations include:

      • Identifying negative self-talk and its impacts on you
      • Changing what influences your self-talk
      • How to change your mindset to positive self-talk
      • Forward-thinking removes the things that hold you back

      • 43. Lindsay Rae Perry: The Journey to Be CEO Of Your Life
        There is an underlying foundation for success that aligns with HARD WORK and this develops your work habits and your work ethic. But have you ever stopped to identify what drives work ethic to morph into hustle & grind, burnout, or even breakdown? Today we talked with Lindsay Rae Perry about the journey from the hustling and grinding to being the CEO of your LIFE.
        Lindsay Rae Perry is an award-winning CEO, serial entrepreneur, with over a decade of experience in strategic marketing, messaging and cloud-business consulting and is mastering the art of building multiple businesses holistically without compromising her values, worth, and integrity by partnering with multiple global brands such as Google, AT&T, HubSpot, and RingCentral just to name a few.
        This isn’t how her journey began, at one point, the pressures of being a black woman entrepreneur in corporate America, plus high-functioning anxiety, were driving Lindsay’s personal life and career into the ground. The combination of depression, anxiety, a deep-rooted sense of unworthiness, and the constant hustle-and-grind lifestyle, led to a nervous breakdown that landed Lindsay in the hospital. It was in this darkness that she remembered her true purpose: to be a pioneer in helping women leaders to heal our stories of unworthiness while building sustainable lives and businesses without compromise.
        With her “God first” philosophy and strategic expertise, as CEO of the LRP Agency,  Her vision is to be a vessel of transformational consulting and mentorship for women-owned women entrepreneurs and corporate leaders to find freedom in building a sustainable life and business.
        In this episode of The Abundant Living Podcast, our conversation includes:
        Experiencing the root cause of our work habits and behaviors
        The Journey of Healing from Breakdown to Breakthrough
        How to Create a Vision for your Life
        How to Align Life and Business with your core values

      • 42. Seasons of Frugality

        You probably already know, deep down, the basics of being financially successful.    Work hard, save, invest, spend wisely, and don’t take your eye off the ball.   But this doesn’t have to mean you have to live a penny-pinching life with no treats. You can live a happy, fulfilled life and still be financially responsible.    And the secret is to embrace frugality.

        We’ve experienced frugality in seasons.   These seasons of frugality have been opportunities to build, grow and reach goals that we set for ourselves.  Chosen times when we intentionally changed our spending to help us reconcile where we were to where we wanted to go.  They were ultimately seasons of positivity and growth.

        In this episode, we are discussing the value of intentionally making adjustments to spending habits to reach our goals.

        • What is frugality?
        • Frugal  or  Cheap
        • Intentional Frugality vs Forced Frugality
        • Impacts of a scarcity mindset on frugality

          • 40. 3 Good Reasons Why You Should Ask For Help

            If you are a confident independent thinker, you usually make your own choices in life.    It wouldn’t be all that surprising to discover you prefer to figure out things for yourself.  And because you’re so self-assured, you might not like to ask for help, even if it’s necessary.

            There are times when we all can benefit from accepting a hand from someone else.   And not only that, when you ask for assistance, other people also stand to benefit in ways you might not have considered.

            In this episode we discuss 3 good reasons why you should ask for HELP:

            • Destigmatize being human
            • The effectiveness of life management
            • It impacts your relationships

                • 37. Readiness For Investing

                  The goal of investing goes beyond being diligent to accumulate funds through regular savings. Saving is a wise course of action to elevate your net worth, however building real wealth needs an additional consideration – earning a good rate of return on your money.  This involves putting the funds to use through ownership or lending in ways that generate even more money.   That is the major distinction between saving and investing. In today’s episode, we are talking about Readiness for Investing.

                  In this episode we discuss:

                  • Developing an investment plan
                  • Identifying where to get money to begin investing
                  • Developing your investment philosophy and risk tolerance

                    We believe in living abundantly in Christ and not allowing money or the needs of life to pull your focus from the gracious God who gives us all the ability to produce wealth. Therefore, our goal for you is to seek God in all you do as you follow His Word to manage money confidently, live life purposefully, and build wealth intentionally.
