100. The Wisdom Advantage: How to Build Wealth Intentionally

Fri, 08 Dec 2023 00:20:23 +0000

On this episode of the Wealth and Wisdom Together™ podcast, we are on week four of our series on your STEWARD Identity™. Today’s deep dive is on the meaning of the “W” in the STEWARD acronym, which stands for “Wisdom Led Decision Making”. But that is not all. This is our 100th episode, and we are celebrating!

Have you heard these common myths about wisdom and financial stewardship?

You need a lot of money to start building wealth.
Investing is only for the wealthy.
Financial success is all about luck.

These do not define wisdom or its effects on our finances. The truth is that wisdom can guide us toward intentional wealth-building when we exercise the habits of our STEWARD Identity™. Today we are speaking to that truth and revealing strategies from the Word of God on wisdom-led decision making, which can debunk these myths.

Episodes Highlights:

The key moments in this episode are:

00:10 - Celebrating the 100th Episode

01:25 - Introduction to Wisdom

04:19 - Practicality of Wisdom

06:05 - Admonitional Wisdom

99. Empower Your Financial Journey: Discover the Rewards of Earnestly Seeking God

Tue, 14 Nov 2023 15:52:43 +0000

On this episode of the Wealth and Wisdom Together™ podcast, we are on week three of our series on your STEWARD Identity™. Today, we are highlighting and expanding on the meaning of the “E” in the STEWARD acronym, which stands for “Earnestly Seeking God”. Can you say that you earnestly seek God in all your decisions? We can now, but that was not always the case. As we have shared before, some of our earlier decisions, financial and those that were not financial, were not always made with God in the forefront. Sometimes, our decisions were made just by thinking about ourselves and what we wanted.

We discovered that this habit kept us struggling and trapped in a scarcity mindset. We felt like we were working hard but didn’t see the results we desired; it was disheartening. If you have ever felt that way, this conversation will enlighten you on the importance of earnestly seeking God's guidance in all you do.

When we realized the importance of seeking God and aligning our faith with our finances, we experienced a shift in our mindset, our decision-making, and our lives. We saw God’s guidance provide a sense of peace, rest, and fulfillment in all areas of our lives. Now we want the same for you.

It’s your time to recognize and eliminate the scarcity mindset that can rule our decision-making and replace it with a mindset established from earnestly seeking God in managing your resources.

Episodes Highlights:

01:34 - The Importance of Seeking God

06:34 - Rewards of Seeking God

08:52 - Financial Decisions and Seeking God's Guidance

09:43 - Building Wealth According to God's Terms

72. Clarity Is In The Doing

Tue, 28 Feb 2023 16:51:42 +0000

Have you ever been on top of your game, getting it all done, but later realized something was amiss? Did you make adjustments and keep moving?

That’s what we’ve done. We have pivoted in our work and are moving forward. We’ve spent several years preparing to be financial coaches empowering those we serve to enjoy life, manage their money and build a legacy. But as faith-based coaches, we have realized that many don’t connect good stewardship practices with their desire to live an abundant life.

2 Timothy 4:2 tells us to “Preach in the full expression of the Holy Spirit - with wisdom and patience as you instruct and teach the people.” And so we pivot in accordance to this passage to instruct and teach the Stewardship Message with wisdom and patience to the Body.

This week on The Abundant Living Podcast, we share our journey to becoming the Financial Empowerment and Stewardship Coaches to the Black Church.

Let’s Embrace Abundant Living:

3:00 - The Dream to serve the kingdom

7:00 - Empowering Ourselves To Serve

10:15 - Mindset Work To Eliminate Fear

12:30 - Wealth and Wisdom

13:40 - The Stewardship Message

Top Takeaways

“We have always had a greater call and can’t limit it to just our church.” - Weslia Echols
“Teach others how to use the 90% after giving the 10%.” - Willa Williams
“Getting the message out that you can live in the abundance of God.” - Willa Williams

67. The TRUE Connection Between Giving And Abundance

Tue, 29 Nov 2022 11:30:12 +0000

Do you trust God enough with the best of what you’ve been blessed with? Do you really know why you tithe or give?

58. Shifting From A Scarcity Mindset To An Abundance Mindset

Tue, 27 Sep 2022 10:30:20 +0000

Did you know that you can be wealthy and lonely or have money and still be in poor health? Did you know that you can be financially successful and miserable or the wealthiest person in the world and still not experience abundance?

53. Eradicating The Stigma of Renting

Tue, 23 Aug 2022 08:00:32 +0000

Many people believe that progress and wealth are only shown by owning a home. Whether it be land, property, or even financial assets, there’s a stigma that ownership usually signifies whether someone has “made it” in life.

We want to flip the script and change the narrative regarding owning vs. renting, and this week on The Abundant Living Podcast, we’re talking about eradicating the stigma of renting.

Deciding to purchase a home should be very strategic and consider your lifestyle, financial health, and personal goals! Just because someone decides to rent doesn’t mean they're less capable of attracting or achieving wealth, wisdom, or abundance.

52. 5-Minutes of Intentionality

Tue, 16 Aug 2022 15:50:14 +0000

Without confidence, it's hard to pick ourselves up and keep going. Whether we're trying to accomplish something new, trying to get ahead at work, or even when we're dealing with our finances, our confidence can take a hit at any time, anywhere.

When we lack confidence, the only thing blocking us from success is Us. We have to believe that we can accomplish whatever we set our mind to, and we must be willing to boldly step out in faith and make it happen. So, the best way to restore a lack of confidence is to make it impossible to give up.

Tue, 09 Aug 2022 10:00:07 +0000

What do you do when your financial success doesn’t mirror your career success? Do you change your situation, or do you remain complacent?

Tue, 26 Jul 2022 12:04:49 +0000

When we released the episode on Financial crossroads in our 30s, it reminded us of some of the challenges we faced that required us to change our mindset regarding savings. We knew it was important to have a savings account and money in the bank. However, we also knew people who needed our assistance financially. Unintentionally, our heart to give led us to become budding philanthropists, seeding and supporting those around us. But what do you do when giving mindlessly starts to affect your financial growth? This week on The Abundant Living Podcast, we’re unpacking how it feels when you cultivate an environment where people depend on you financially. We’re also discussing how to protect yourself and your savings to elevate your life's fulfillment.

47. The Thirties: Lessons Learned From Our Financial Crossroads

Tue, 12 Jul 2022 10:00:26 +0000

46. What Is Financial Coaching?

Tue, 05 Jul 2022 18:00:57 +0000

Are you unhappy with your finances or desire to change your financial situation? Do you believe you could be doing better financially but don’t know where to start?

While most people seek financial coaching looking for someone to tell them what to do, for many, the problem isn’t knowing what to do, the problem is implementation. You are more than capable of building wealth on your own, but your financial coach will hold you accountable as you implement your individual financial plan.

As you seek financial services, it’s important to clearly understand the duties and responsibilities of the many professions that make up financial care. From vision through implementation to completion of your goals, this week we’re breaking down what Financial coaching is and isn’t so that you’re equipped with the tools you need to manage your money confidently, live life purposefully, and build wealth intentionally.

6:00 - The Different Financial Professions

9:00 - How To Gain Insight & Understanding Through Coaching

15:15 - What Financial Coaching Is

18:18 - What Financial Coaching Isn’t

20:15 - Who Benefits From Financial Coaching

What Is Financial Coaching Takeaways

“Financial coaching bridges the gap between knowing what to do and actually getting it done.” - Weslia Echols

“Coaching mirrors the methods of Jesus.” - Weslia Echols

“Financial coaching is the process of helping someone discover God’s agenda for their abundance and financial life.” - Willa Williams “Coaching assumes that God has different plans for different people.” - Weslia Echols

“Coaching isn’t one size fits all.” - Weslia Echols

“Financial coaching provides accountability, strategy and support for you to do the work it takes to build wealth.” - Willa Williams

“Coaches help people mature in making their own Godly decisions.” - Willa Williams

“As clients speak they often bring out the solutions they seek.” - Weslia Echols

45. Abundant Living: Embracing New Opportunities

Tue, 28 Jun 2022 07:00:18 +0000

How often do you look at something and immediately dismiss it?

As Wealth Partners, when we use phrases like, “That's not me” or “I don’t do that,” we limit our thinking and prevent ourselves from embracing new opportunities. Whether we unintentionally pass up great love, a fulfilling career, and even monetary blessings, limiting beliefs have the power to derail us from our living in abundance.

This week on The Abundant Living Podcast, we are unpacking what it truly means to live abundantly. We all have opportunities all around us and just because something may not be in alignment with who we were, doesn’t mean it won't help us evolve into who we want to become.

Even if it may not look the way you imagined, don't turn away from the blessings God has put in place. Renew your mind to be able to see God’s hand in everything, and remember that God’s Will, not our will, is the only path to an abundant life.

Let’s Embrace Abundant Living:

2:45 - Embrace New Opportunities

8:00 - Broaden Your Thinking

13:00 - Be Intentional About Accepting Yourself

19:00 - Express Your Inner Brightness

22:13 - Let Go Of Limiting Thinking

27:10 - Don’t Tell Me, Show Me

Abundant Living: Embracing New Opportunities Takeaways

“Self-care is so important.” - Weslia Echols
“Keep your mind focused on the provision that God has made for you.” - Willa Williams
“Embracing new opportunities is key to an abundant life.” - Weslia Echols
“Push past the dollar amount that you put on yourself.” - Willa Williams
“I want to present myself outwardly, as good as I feel inwardly.” - Weslia Echols
“I love who I am, I love the space that I’m in, therefore I am going to present that wherever I go.” - Weslia Echols
“You can make a change in your life and it can be good for you.” - Willa Williams
“We all have opportunities all around us.” - Weslia Echols
“Get beyond telling people what you’re going to do and get to the point where you intentionally show people what you’re going to do, what you’re about, and who you are.” - Weslia Echols
“The abundant life that God has for us never changes. We just have to show up and live in it.” - Willa Williams

44. Overcoming Negative Self-Talk

Tue, 03 May 2022 09:00:01 +0000

Negative self-talk can creep in and impact our lives in more ways than we can ever imagine and without us realizing it. It can cause us to become our own worst enemy. But when we recognize it, we can change the negative self-talk to a more positive, encouraging, and motivating message to ourselves. This was a real reality for us at TFC when we were beginning to launch The Abundant Living Podcast.

We looked at the time, effort, and skills needed to be successful and doubted if we were really prepared or should move forward in the midst of all the things going on last year during the pandemic. We were challenged with the same things many faces every day. The negativity surrounding COVID-19, caring for aging parents, helping kids graduate college, building our business, and all this in the midst of establishing new households after moving to our dream homes.

Nevertheless!!!! We got clarity and recognized that we had begun to listen to the roar of the enemy and not the still small voice of our Father. So here we are today, we just celebrated the one-year anniversary of The Abundant Living Podcast. We heard God, trusted Him and He got it all done through us. Our self-talk went from doubting to encouraging and when it did our eyes and hearts opened to the reality of what God was doing and we overcame all negative self-talk.

On this episode of The Abundant Living Podcast, “Overcoming Negative Self-Talk“, our conversations include:

Identifying negative self-talk and its impacts on you
Changing what influences your self-talk
How to change your mindset to positive self-talk
Forward-thinking removes the things that hold you back

43. Lindsay Rae Perry: The Journey to Be CEO Of Your Life

Tue, 26 Apr 2022 14:21:16 +0000

There is an underlying foundation for success that aligns with HARD WORK and this develops your work habits and your work ethic. But have you ever stopped to identify what drives work ethic to morph into hustle & grind, burnout, or even breakdown? Today we talked with Lindsay Rae Perry about the journey from the hustling and grinding to being the CEO of your LIFE. Lindsay Rae Perry is an award-winning CEO, serial entrepreneur, with over a decade of experience in strategic marketing, messaging and cloud-business consulting and is mastering the art of building multiple businesses holistically without compromising her values, worth, and integrity by partnering with multiple global brands such as Google, AT&T, HubSpot, and RingCentral just to name a few. This isn’t how her journey began, at one point, the pressures of being a black woman entrepreneur in corporate America, plus high-functioning anxiety, were driving Lindsay’s personal life and career into the ground. The combination of depression, anxiety, a deep-rooted sense of unworthiness, and the constant hustle-and-grind lifestyle, led to a nervous breakdown that landed Lindsay in the hospital. It was in this darkness that she remembered her true purpose: to be a pioneer in helping women leaders to heal our stories of unworthiness while building sustainable lives and businesses without compromise. With her “God first” philosophy and strategic expertise, as CEO of the LRP Agency, Her vision is to be a vessel of transformational consulting and mentorship for women-owned women entrepreneurs and corporate leaders to find freedom in building a sustainable life and business.

42. Seasons of Frugality

Wed, 20 Apr 2022 01:59:47 +0000

You probably already know, deep down, the basics of being financially successful. Work hard, save, invest, spend wisely, and don’t take your eye off the ball. But this doesn’t have to mean you have to live a penny-pinching life with no treats. You can live a happy, fulfilled life and still be financially responsible. And the secret is to embrace frugality.

We’ve experienced frugality in seasons. These seasons of frugality have been opportunities to build, grow and reach goals that we set for ourselves. Chosen times when we intentionally changed our spending to help us reconcile where we were to where we wanted to go. They were ultimately seasons of positivity and growth.

In this episode, we are discussing the value of intentionally making adjustments to spending habits to reach our goals.

What is frugality?
Frugal or Cheap
Intentional Frugality vs Forced Frugality
Impacts of a scarcity mindset on frugality

40. 3 Good Reasons Why You Should Ask For Help

Tue, 05 Apr 2022 19:19:13 +0000

If you are a confident independent thinker, you usually make your own choices in life. It wouldn’t be all that surprising to discover you prefer to figure out things for yourself. And because you’re so self-assured, you might not like to ask for help, even if it’s necessary.

There are times when we all can benefit from accepting a hand from someone else. And not only that, when you ask for assistance, other people also stand to benefit in ways you might not have considered.

In this episode we discuss 3 good reasons why you should ask for HELP:

Destigmatize being human
The effectiveness of life management
It impacts your relationships

30. Understanding Your Money Story, Mindset and Tendencies

Tue, 25 Jan 2022 19:44:50 +0000

Freeing your mind from things that can negatively impact your finances is an attainable goal. After you recognize the source(s) of an unhealthy mindset, you can transform your thinking and begin to live the fulfilled life you desire. In this episode of The Abundant Living Podcast, we're talking about "Money Mindset and Money Tendencies" as we unpack how to recognize and eliminate an unhealthy money mindset.

It's a transformation that begins with recognizing the source of our money behaviors. How we manage money can come from what we learned when we were young during our early formative years. These lessons can run deep in the make-up of who we are and can negatively impact our financial foundation if not addressed. We discuss:

Understanding where how your money story is derived
Tendencies that come from your money story
Your money story and tendencies shape your money relationship & habits
Guidance on how to change your unhealthy tendencies
