Summary
This week's solo episode is a mini TED talk on 3 topics that have shifted how I approach financial independence. Are your wants in alignment with your beliefs? Are you too afraid to dream of financial freedom because you don't believe it's possible for you?
The first step to changing your life is self awareness. In today's episode, I dive into how being in congruence will impact your life, money, and way of being plus a lot more.
In this episode you'll learn:
- What being in congruence means
- Why self awareness is the first step of change
- What minimal viable financial independence means
- The 5 levels of financial independence
- Is financial independence a pipe dream? and much more
P.S. My goal is to reach level 4 of Financial Independence (FI): base expenses + frills + guac + first class, what's yours? You might be a little confused and curious at what levels of financial independence I am speaking of, so I take you through all 5 in the episode.
