Redefining Wealth with Patrice Washington

One of the most overlooked things from people is a savings. People think they’ll always be able to work, but in reality you never know what can happen. Even if you eat the perfect diet, exercise everyday, and really take care of your body things can (and will) still go wrong. Let’s face it, if something happens like you get hit by a car wouldn’t you rather have the option to rest and recover than...

I don’t know about you, but in my life I’ve had people I loved and believed were on my side betray me - especially women. It’s made me want to avoid women all together and keep to myself. But the truth is, we can’t do that. We can’t let a few bad apples spoil the whole bunch because in the long run, it’s only going to hurt us even more. No matter how great you are, if you exist on an island by you...

“Thinking people are luckier than you will make you doubt your own journey.” I was up at 2 am to record this episode because I felt a strong tug that this needed to be addressed. I’ve noticed a mindset from some in my audience I wanted to speak to today in the hopes that we can have an honest conversation and create a powerful shift. I’m not here to scold anyone, or attack anyone. I just want to h...

“You can choose what type of day you will have, and I choose to have an outstanding one every day.” - Kelly Cardenas How many people have you known in the world that were really smart, had so many degrees and certificates, but were broke and unsuccessful? That’s because knowledge isn’t everything. Sure, an education can be helpful, but without a strong purpose there’s no point. People who are just...

“Just because you’re in a drama, that doesn’t mean you have to be dramatic.” - Tim Storey I wanted to mix things up this week. I feel like I tend to cater to the women in business (I wonder why :) ). Given that this weekend is Father’s Day, I’m going to dive into some topics that will help the men listening. And women, be sure to share this with any man you care about in your life. In today’s soci...

“We don’t have the time to be irresponsible with our finances.” There’s one thing that truly breaks my heart - and that’s when people use their faith as a crutch. I’m going to get real with you today, and it may turn you off. That’s ok. Maybe you’re not ready to hear this, but I know a lot of people listening are. You need to stop relying solely on your beliefs to get you out of your financial pro...

“Being willing to give up something good for something great requires trust that something better is always coming” There’s a common misconception in our society, especially with women, that you have to choose between your work or a relationship. There are women who report being passed up for a job that required travel because it was assumed that that wouldn’t be appropriate for her marriage. Ther...

“If God gave you the vision, he’ll give you the provision.” Have you ever had an idea or a dream that you thought was so great, you couldn’t keep it off your mind? Then you went to share it with someone you really care about, and they didn’t see what you see? Did it crush you? Make you doubt yourself? Stop your vision right in its tracks? I know you’ve been there. We all have. But you can’t let ot...

“Debt will force you to make choices rooted in fear as opposed to faith.” As many of you know, I have been traveling around the country speaking. My favorite part is using the opportunity to meet and speak to every single person who attends a session with me. I love hearing what you take away, and what is really important to you. That’s why I decided to make this episode, continuing last week’s di...

“Accountability is the secret sauce for abundance.” How many times do you find yourself starting a project, but never able to cross the finish line? Maybe you get 80% of the way there. You can see the finish line, but then you stop. You let other things get in the way. You’re not alone. Everyone has that problem. The way you fix that is by having more accountability in your life. Sometimes you nee...

“There’s only so much coupon cutting and budgeting you can do.” The last time I took questions from you guys I had such an overwhelming response! I felt it was hard to choose questions to answer, and I saw a common theme that I wasn’t able to address last time: earning more money. Cutting coupons and pinching pennies might help a little, but it will never make you a millionaire. In the amount of t...

“Make it a habit to show the world what you do and what you dream about.” - Malene Rix Most people have a really hard time negotiating. In fact, a lot of people give up before they even try. I can understand why, especially if you’re a woman. Our society, sadly, still doesn’t respect and accept a woman negotiating on her own behalf. There is hope, though! You can make negotiations much easier on y...

“If something being said about you doesn’t hold up against the truth, it has to be dismissed.” - Mikki Taylor No matter who you are, you are going to have haters. The unfortunate truth is the more successful you become, the more there will be, and they louder they will become.

“Wealth doesn’t equal intelligence.” - Dr. Daniel Crosby Finances can be a very confusing thing for people, especially when it comes to investing. You might think you need to have a detailed game plan on where to put all of your money, and check on your stocks every 30 seconds to make sure everything keeps going up and be ready to sell the moment things start to turns. Not true. The best investors...

“If you fool yourself into thinking you’ve mastered something, you stop doing the work.” * Let me know what you think of this episode, or ask me a question for future episode at: FreeCallWithPatrice.com * One of the scariest and hardest things we can do is surrender. We want control, and think we know what’s best. The truth is, if you want to get where you are going you need to trust in the proces...

“When I came up against this discrepancy in my character, it was tough to combat.” - Tai + Talaat McNeely Everyone worries about their partner cheating on them, but there’s actually a different type of infidelity that is much more common and leads to just as many divorces: Financial Infidelity. Most people don’t think about it, but when you lie to your partner about your financial standing or hide...

“We don’t get what we want, we get what we believe.” How many times have you got excited about something, then you felt too overwhelmed to even start? Maybe you thought it was too complicated, or that there were too many steps? Most of the time we don’t achieve our goals because we talk ourselves out of them just as fast as we talked ourselves into them. If you want to be successful, don’t make it...

“When you are the best at what you do you never have to worry about income because the marketplace will seek you out.” - Dr. Dennis Kimbro Many times we become too focused on money. It becomes our goal, and in the end, that’s what gets in our way. Wealth is not about money. Even money isn’t about money. The people who chase the dollar are those who come in last. If you really want to reach a place...

“Anytime there is a problem in an organization, it’s because relationships broke down.” - Winn Claybaugh People want to work with people who give back. It’s true. In fact, 85% of consumers will choose a to spend money with a company that is committed to giving back to its communities. It’s never too late to start giving, but it’s also never too early. If you are looking to build a business the soo...

“You have to remain in the present when you dream” - Tera Carissa Hodges Don’t let people lie to you, there are haters out there. The more you chase your purpose, the more they will appear.

And if you’re not where you want to be in life yet, remembe...

“Money will not feed your soul.” - Egypt Sherrod As you know, space is an important pillar. It’s not about faking it and throwing all your junk in drawers. It’s about finding your value and showing it through your surroundings. If you have old dirty socks hiding in your desk drawer, they’re still there. They’re still showing you that you don’t mentally value yourself. Everything is a reflection of...
