Redefining Wealth with Patrice Washington

“Any time you help someone get closer to their goal, you’re adding value.” - Paul Brunson Do you treat everyone the same, or do you pick and choose the people you want to be in contact with? Do you find yourself quickly judging people and expecting them to help you? You’re doing yourself a huge disservice. You never know who is watching that has the power to bless you. Your people skills, in all a...

“Everybody has the giant inside of them.” - Brandi Harvey Let me ask you something, and I want you to be honest. What’s the point of making a resolution if you aren’t going to keep it? Also, how do you expect to keep your resolution if you’re not fixing the root of the problem? For example, the most common New Year’s resolution is to get in shape. You can go to the gym, and lose the weight but tha...

“A good relationship should make you want more from yourself.” Tomorrow, December 29th, 2017 is my 10 year wedding anniversary with my husband, Gerald. As a result I wanted to record a special podcast with him focusing on one of the most important pillars - relationships. Making a marriage work is no easy task. There is no such thing as a perfect relationship, and it certainly isn’t all sunshine a...

“You have to be great, even when you don’t feel like it.” How many times have you made a New Year’s resolution, or a goal, and you’re still waiting for it to happen? You’re not alone, and I’m here to help you make sure that’s not a problem this year. We all get in those modes. “I’m going to lose weight,” or, “I’m going to finally get my side business going,” or even, “This is the year I organize m...

“If you do good work money will come. And when you get it, take care of it.” - Lyn Talbert Have you ever had someone tell you that you should pick one thing and stick with it? That may be good advice for some, but it doesn’t work for everyone. You want to avoid spreading yourself too thin, but at the same time there’s no reason you should start to feel trapped. We all have a lot of passions and th...

“As your soul prospers, the financial abundance will be undeniable.” When is the last time you looked around at your office or work space? Does it look like somewhere that deserve to be making a million dollars, or does it look like somewhere people should be discarding their old McDonalds wrappers? If you work in a landfill, all you are going to attract is more trash. Now, I may be going a little...

“Walking in expectation is about trusting and believing things are working together for my good.” Do you have expectations that don’t work out exactly how you want? Do you feel like you spend all of your energy trying to make things perfect and exactly how you visioned them, only to be disappointed with life? Maybe it’s time for you to stop living in expectations and start learning to walk in expe...

“What do you get to be grateful for today?” Do you feel like things just aren’t happening for you, no matter how smart or talented you are? Chances are you’re stuck on one, if not both, of the two G’s. The two G’s we are discussing today are Gratitude and Giving. Both are powerful things that affect all areas of your life. The first, gratitude, is something we really only do when things are going...

“What are you a slave to right now?” How many times have you bought a new dress but felt like you didn’t have anything to go with it? Even if that dress was a great deal, when you consider the shoes you bought to go with it, the earrings to match, and all of the other accessories it wasn’t cheap. Don’t worry though, you aren’t alone. We’ve all been there. In fact it’s so common there’s a name for...

“Intentions without a sound strategy is just wishful thinking.” How many times have you said to yourself, “This is the year I’m going to do this,” or “I’m finally going to save money,” but nothing happens? That’s because you need to learn how to finish strong. It’s easy to say you’re going to do something, or make plans for getting things going “one day”. But one day will probably never come. You...

Do you ever feel like you need to keep busy? That you need to rush rush rush, and keep on the move in order to get what you want? Chances are you are doing more harm than good. We get lost in the rush of life sometimes, and what we really need to do is take a moment to ourselves. “You have to cultivate within what you are asking for.” - Latham Thomas We are taught that as adults we need to stop pl...

“Time and attention are the currency of the soul.” - Sheri RIley In today’s society we are so bombarded with technology and communication that we think our presence is enough. Just because our bodies are there doesn’t mean that we are. There’s no way that you can build a meaningful relationship if you’re trying to do a conference call, while trying to snap chat, post on Instagram and make the actu...

We're conditioned to compare ourselves to the people around us. We look at other people and judge ourselves based on them. How they look, the things they have, the accomplishments they’ve made. “The story I told myself about myself, self-sabotaged my success for 20 years.” The truth is the only person you should be comparing yourself to is who you were yesterday. You don’t know other people’s stor...

“The ultimate goal of financial psychology is to help us improve our financial wealth by improving our psychology.” - Dr. Brad Klontz Many of us want to save our money. We want to have a rainy day fund. We want to be able to buy that dream house. We want to have a vacation fund. So why is it so rare for us? Like many things, the problem is caused by our upbringings. We gain our beliefs about finan...

Most people equate building wealth to the pursuit of more money and more assets. The truth is money is really a byproduct of chasing the things in life that matter much more than money. Today we're wrapping up the 6-part series on the pillar of Redefining Wealth and we'll talk about how all the pillars come together to create more money in your life and what you can do to be wise with your finance...

Lack of fulfillment is the leading cause of financial mismanagement. You may think it's reserved to those who admit to emotional spending, but it even extends to those who don't know how to say "NO!" to those they love or even people they just hope will like them. If we are fulfilled in the areas we spend most of our time in, we reduce the desire to buy things solely to impress others or to shop i...

In part 4 of this 6-part series, Patrice shares how the pillar on “faith” and believing in something greater is essential to bouncing back from failure, as well as, building wealth.

“Success has weight to it.” - DeVon Franklin Everyone wants to have wealth and success. The problem is we often look for it in the wrong place. We chase after money or we chase after the perfect opportunity, and we end up missing out on what’s really important. Wealth isn’t defined by money. The true definition of wealth is well being. Yes, money comes along with that but it’s only a small fractio...

Clutter is the physical manifestation of chaos in your mind. Think about areas in your life where you've been feeling stuck or stagnant lately. Now take a look around you. Can you see a connection between your home office being turned into a junkyard and your frequent inability to produce the quality work you know you're capable of? In part 3 of this 6-part series, Patrice shares her thoughts on p...

You don't have to chase money if you build quality relationships. More opportunities to make money or build wealth can come through word of mouth or having an advocate working on your behalf. Instead of fostering genuine and mutually beneficial relationships, we spend more time pretending to be busy and thinking we "don't have time" to take someone out for coffee or even call or text and say, "Hey...

"Hustle and grind." "Sleep is for suckers." "I haven't slept in days." As a society we've been taught to proudly chase money by any means necessary. And many times it's to the detriment to our own body. The very vessel that's needed to execute this grand vision that we have for our lives. But why? In part 1 of this 6-part series on building true wealth, Patrice says being “fit,” is more than hitti...

I’m here to help you live your life’s purpose, find fulfillment and chase purpose - not money. Redefining Wealth is NOT your typical personal finance show. We’re not here to talk about cutting coupons or budgeting. I Am Patrice Washington and welcome to The Redefining Wealth Podcast.
