Episode #71 What You Can & Can’t Control with Jen Hemphill

/0 Comments/in /by

Today I am very excited to have the lovely Jen Hemphill with me. We are recording this show on the morning after election day and naturally our conversation is drawn to political matters. Which is why the focus of our conversation is what you can control and what you can’t. Financially, you are still very much in control of what you do what with your money. As an accredited financial counselor, Jen has lots of good ideas for us on how to make sure you are provided for, no matter what happens in our country.

Jen is the host of Her Money Matters podcast and I was her guest for Episode #61, where we spoke at length about the details of special needs finance. I was so honored to be a guest on her show and invite her back to Financial Fluency.

/0 Comments/in /by

Today I am more than thrilled to have the wonderful Tess Wicks with me. I was honored to be a guest on Tess’s Words and Money podcast a little while back, a podcast that educates millennial women on personal finance through casual money conversations, and we had a great conversation. Tess is a financial literacy expert and Profit First Professional. She works with individuals and online businesses to implement systems for successful cash management, debt payoff, and ultimate profitability. She believes that you can have anything you want in life, as long as you’re willing to do things a little differently.

Our conversation covers the challenges facing millennials, small business owners and entrepreneurs wanting to manage their money in a smart way in the currently unpredictable world we live in. We also learn that Tess is learning to be a Profit First practitioner, which will allow her to help anyone looking to set up their business in the system designed by Michael Michalowicz in his highly recommend book.

Quotes

  • “When I was in school for finance, I realized I had a hard time keeping pace with my male counterparts, which was a majority of my class, mainly because I had a lack of confidence and didn’t follow my intuition.” -Tess
  • “A lot of personal finance things we just don’t learn about in school, and if I have questions about these things, I know my peers do too.” -Tess
  • “I try to track my time, and if I don’t clock eight hours, that’s ok, because we don’t realize how unproductive we really are in the workplace.” -Tess
  • “[The amount you should go into debt for your business] highly depends on your strategy to monetize and pay off that debt.” -Tess
  • “Make sure that you take on the right amount of debt and recognize what your payoff strategy is going to be, and maybe even testing the market before you really go big on it.” -Tess
  • “Debt is a tool like handcuffs, where you can get locked in without a key to get out of them.” -Jen
  • “It’s important that you don’t use debt as a bandaid or something to get you to the next level.” -Tess
