Women feel more confident about money BUT only 28% act on it


Hello Reader,

I read a report recently with interesting findings about women's financial confidence.

Amidst many statistics showing women's progress and areas where there was still room for improvement, one number stuck out for me:

  • Almost half of the women felt more confident about money, but only 28% felt empowered to take ACTION

Women are smart enough to Google what they want to learn or speak to someone about it.

But what’s stopping them from acting on that knowledge?

The lack of confidence to act on what we know about our finances is a result of years and layers of conditioning about money:

  • Investing is risky, what if we lose it?
  • We need to keep all of it in our savings just in case we need it in an emergency.
  • Someone else knows better about my money than me, better leave it to them to handle it.

This is a classic example of why more information and knowledge isn't going to help if you're not going to take action on it because you're stuck in fear, insecurity, or uncertainty, despite the data.

More information isn’t going to help you take action.

Rewriting your unconscious money stories and beliefs will.

This is what I'll be showing you how to do in my upcoming workshop, 'Financial Confidence for Women' on 4 April 2024.

So you can take action on what you already know to become financially confident and successful.

See you there!

I imagined this vision of the farm What a quiet morning in the UK showed me about looking back, and why I stopped waiting for a job to look after me. I'm writing this from a hotel in the UK. This week's podcast was recorded in the hotel bathroom. It was the only quiet room. My son was out in the room on his laptop with his friends, and I had about 15 minutes. That's what this season looks like. He starts university next week. My younger one starts next year. Before the city, we spent a few...

Four months ago, I did the math on sending both our kids to university in the UK. It would be about $200,000 a year, for three or four years. I had no idea how we would do it. Today, I'm writing this from the UK. I'm here helping my son settle in to his first year of university. I'll tell you how it came together in a moment. But first, what I noticed along the way. $30,000 is not always $30,000 Think about $30,000 of debt. Now think about $30,000 landing in your account as a bonus or as...

The call I wasn't expecting Last week I was in a meeting when my phone lit up with a number I didn't recognize. I let it go to voicemail. A minute later, a text: "Call me back as soon as you can." It was a police investigator. I won't go into the details, but it meant a sudden change to who's helping run our household overnight, no warning. On top of that, my previous boss who brought me into the company was let go and replaced by a new one who was parachuted in by head office. As a result,...
