Summary

The First Stages To Financial Freedom In this episode of Join Up Dots, we dive into the early stages of working towards financial freedom. After more than a decade of coaching and podcasting, I’ve noticed three common barriers that stop people in their tracks: not taking action, not believing they can do it, and feeling out of control in their lives. Through real-life coaching stories, we explore how small, consistent steps, building belief through tiny wins, and taking control of your time and focus can join up the dots to create real progress. This episode is all about seeing the small wins, acting on them, and gradually turning your vision of freedom into reality. Share your first dot with #JoinUpDots #FinancialFreedomJourney and inspire others on their journey. Don’t forget to subscribe to the podcast and leave a review.
