Financial Fluency Episode #57 Smart Future Planning with Nicole Wipp

/0 Comments/in , /by

Today on Financial Fluency, I am  so excited to have the amazing Nicole Wipp with me today. Nicole is a master of juggling multiple businesses.

She owns the Family and Aging Law Center in Michigan, focusing on elder law and asset protection. She’s the host of the Smart Planning 101 podcast, the founder of Wipp Enterprises, focusing on business and personal development, and does corporate consulting on the side!

In this episode, Nicole will share with us about the importance of preparing for the future, either for care for your ailing parents, or care for you children, should you be found with a disability or should they have a disability, like autism.

Nicole shares in depth about her illness, early in 2015, where she ended up in the hospital with a rare lung disease. It required her to be hospitalized for 30 days, receive over 50 medications, 4 surgeries, and her husband, 4 year old, and multiple businesses were left to make it on their own while she figured out exactly what was going on.

Luckily her business was set up in such a way that it was able to function and go on without her for a full 90 days while she was in recovery.

Her program Innate impact created out of this experience, to help entrepreneurs be prepared for temporary disability so their businesses can be self sustaining.

Financial Fluency Episode #55: Authentic Selling with Kendrick Shope

/0 Comments/in /by

Today I am so excited to have the fantastic Kendrick Shope from Authentic Selling and Sales School. I have gone through Sales School myself, and I totally love Kendrick and think she is a fantastic person!

Listen in below

 

For women starting their own businesses often the transition from being an employee in a non sales role to getting the confidence to sell your own services and products can be very difficult. What’s interesting is that women do not sell like men.

Men typically have a more aggressive selling style, women tend to shy away from that agressive style and think they cant sell. Which is not true, they just don’t know a selling style that works for them.

That’s where Authentic Selling comes from using connection and engagement and all those things that light us up and using that to your advantage.

Women are taught not to ruffle any feathers, to be demure and down low and Kendrick and I are both done with it!

Kendrick ShopeAfter leaving her Fortune 500 sales career in 2011 as a top performing sales rep, Kendrick Shope created Authentic Selling™, an ick-free, southern style approach to sales that’s helped over 600 entrepreneurs make millions.

Since then, she’s been named one of the nation’s top sales experts, acted as a guest expert on NBC, and won high praise from business icons like Ali Brown and Marie Forleo. She’s also been featured in publications like Monroe Life, The Advocate, and The Daily Times.

Her motto? “All things being equal, friends buy from friends. All things being unequal, friends buy from friends.”

When she’s not sharing her sales savvy with clients, you can find this royal redhead cheering at Tennessee football games or flipping through fashion mags. She lives in Arkansas with her high school sweetheart and her Star-Wars-loving daughter.

Financial Fluency Episode #54: Project Positive Change with Leigh Daniel

Remember, you can highlight any section of text and share it – give it a try!

Project Positive Change is something I have been excited about for nearly a year!

Every day there are more individuals saying “I’m choosing to be a light, and to spread that instead”.

And Leigh, with PPC, is giving those people a platform. People who want to share their message and want to give hope to other people.

There are two sides to the project, as a platform for people’s message and also as a community, with opportunities for joint ventures and support.

Leigh has so many ideas – PPC Publishing, University, Speakers arm, Outreach to the Middle East and India, Radio – the sky is the limit!

Listen in below to find out more about Leigh and how Project Positive Change came about

 

For as long as she can remember, Leigh  wanted to have a “different life” as a small girl in a small town.

She hadn’t been out of the southern United States, but wanted to be a student of the world. Her first big break came when she followed the suggestion of a professor and  went to law school. Within one year of graduating, she struck out on her own.

She poured her heart and soul into her practice until – after almost 20 years – she began to feel the heavy effects of divorce practice. Despite her successful practice and reputation as a tough litigant, she was filled with sadness.

She has spent the last several years firmly deciding to be happy.

These days she does workshops and has spoken to hundreds of people about transformation. Twice a year she presents to people from all over the world in Key West, Florida, with her partner Jonathan Benjamin at Possibilities in Paradise.
