A Wealthy Life

Calm down, calm down. No one's dying in this episode; I just want to talk about some of the most important aspects of financial planning. I want to motivate you to set goals and secure achievements you are proud of. What may sound like rather a morbid question is really a surprisingly successful way to identify whether we are living the way we truly wish to live, prioritising what matters most and...

Episode 40: What Do You Want for Your Family?   It seems like a simple question, doesn't it? But what you want for your family can encompass a multitude of things. It might refer to values you want your children to live by; it might suggest a career path or level of wealth and prestige; it might mean spirit and lifestyle – do you want to raise a world traveller or a poet?   What you want for you f...

Your belief system is an incredibly powerful influence on your behaviour , and by extension your life outcomes. When we believe we deserve and can have success, love, fun and wealth we tend to actually achieve these things.   This happens because our beliefs create our reality; they might cause us to make smarter or more focused decisions, to commit or persevere, to try rather than give up or acce...

The title of the episode sums it up! When we create a wealth plan and strive to live a wealthy life, it is so much more meaningful than gaining money or adhering to thrift. It is about how you feel, what your daily choices mean and how your legacy impacts the world.   This is the last episode recorded on holiday in Greece. I will sum up the insights from the past few weeks and include insights des...

Episode 37 – What Are You Wasting?   What do two teaspoons of suncream have to do with living a wealthy life? More than you might think! I recently caught myself wasting time in the process of trying to save money – by spending half an hour extracting every drop of suncream from the bottle to go on holiday. This reminded me of the concept of "false economy" which is when an action that starts out...

Episode 36 – Who is Controlling Your Time?   This week I discuss one of your most valuable resources – time. If I had to choose one, I would choose to have more time rather than more money because no matter what we do, we can't gain more time. Fear not, we can manage the time we have so that we have more control and the time we have is put to better use.   Being conscious about how much time our a...

Episode 35 – How adaptable are you? - Show Notes   Episode after episode, I talk about the importance of planning and the freedom and success it can bring to a wealthy life journey. But what do you do when things don't go according to plan?   As I'm sure I don't need to tell you, life seldom goes exactly as we think it will – John Lennon even said "life is what happens when you're busy making othe...

Episode 34 - What makes you happy and get out of bed with joy? - Show Notes   What really  motivates you? What will create a truly happy life for you – not a life that merely lives up to the status quo? There are many boxes we may check that symbolise success; perhaps it is a university degree, a job, a certificate or a milestone. The question is: are these things what you  want, or what you are s...

Episode 33 – Back to 2008 - Show Notes   We have been hearing the word "recession" for months, with experts divided and citizens confused.

Episode 31 – Who is Controlling Your Thoughts? - Show Notes   Is your mindset holding you back? Could you be happier, more successful or more fulfilled in life? So many of us struggle with limiting beliefs and this can be frustrating. When your beliefs keep saying "no" or "this will never work" your body and mind will follow suit. As a student of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) I know about the...

We are living a lot longer than we think we will, and more importantly a lot longer than the majority of people are prepared for – leading to a new term of elder-poverty.
