During this special Mastery Conversation, we work together to create clarity around our goals, tasks and intentions as we prepare for the New Year. Download the I Am Abundance Bound Action Plan to guide you through steps to help clearly define not just the areas where you would like to see progress, but also the texture you are committed to creating in your life, and the condition of your heart that will allow you to soar.

What’s the best way to choose a new credit card to apply for? How do you clarify your specific “Cash Flow Money Map”? Should I combine my traditional IRA with my Roth? Is there a calendar of dates and deadlines to help properly maintain an S-Corp throughout the year? We dove into all of these questions and more in this week’s jam packed Q&A!

Why might your credit score DROP after opening a new card? We answered this question and many more! Our discussion included starting an at home daycare center, rolling over funds from an AEA sponsored 401K plan to an IRA, borrowing from your Roth in a time of need, and using planned savings to pay back debt. Miata also shared news about a BIG upcoming move she’s making. 🙂 Listen to the whole 90 minutes or use the chapters to skip to any topics of particular interest.

In this Q&A we dove into some individual plans and member financial areas of focus for 2021. We discussed the challenges of staying in the power cycle during times of turbulence, looked at the interest rate differences between “high yield” savings accounts and CDs, and engaged in a group exercise to help a member calculate annual interest costs on student loan and credit card debt.

We welcomed the brilliant author, speaker, activist, and leader, Liz Kimball, for an empowering and inspirational conversation about HOPE. Our souls and our spirits have taken a bit of a beating this year. Liz asks us to examine how we still can decide to “go all in” with hope that is “determined, specific and unshakeable.” She invites us to “be done with what is, so we can dedicate our lives to what can be.”

In this Q&A we discuss how to best understand your “Cash Flow Money Map,” ways to separate your different columns of expenses and earnings, things that can positively and negatively affect your credit score, making financial decisions about things like health insurance from the power cycle, when it’s time to consider “formalizing” a new business with an LLC, and more… We also share some exciting happenings in our community AND all the ways you can use your Financial Empowerment Program membership!

In this Q&A we discuss using a zero interest credit card as a part of a debt repayment strategy, what to do with a tax refund, moving an IRA to Vanguard, and how to gain clarity around your numbers after a time of upheaval. We end with a lengthy discussion on revenue modeling and what attitude shifts may be required to build a secondary stream of income.

You don’t want to miss this inspirational conversation with STEVE HARPER, a TV writer, playwright, actor and creativity coach. Steve speaks powerfully about his commitment to continually “renewing the mindset of hope”. His dynamic career stands as a remarkable example of what’s possible, when we choose to shed limitations in the pursuit of the abundant lives we truly desire.

In this Q&A we look at why it’s important to review your credit REPORT, not just your credit SCORE, the pros and cons of refinancing a mortgage, the differences between whole and term life insurance, understanding VTSAX vs. the S&P 500 index funds, and more!

This is a must see Mastery Conversation on the subject of FINANCIAL TRACKING, one of the most critical pieces required for a healthy, thriving relationship with money. We understand that it’s sometimes challenging to choose a tracking method that works for you, and meets you exactly where you are on your journey. We welcomed four Financial Empowerment Program members – each successfully using Google Spreadsheets, Mint, Quicken and Quickbooks – to discuss the pros and cons of their systems. Whether you’re choosing your first method of tracking, or thinking you might be ready for a change, this session will help you understand your options, so you can feel confident moving forward!

In this Q&A we look at some of the less than ethical income “opportunities” being aggressively sold out there; and discuss the kinds of things you want to make sure you know before getting involved!
