  • 12 Ready for jobs with income over 100K? How leveraging your strengths can help you get there, fast.
    Oct 21 2024

    Hi Friend,

    In this episode, we dive deep into how to strategically approach your career to accelerate your financial freedom journey. It’s not just about landing a six-figure job or climbing the corporate ladder. Instead, it’s about optimizing your career by leveraging your unique strengths, not just your skills. I share insights on identifying and using your natural talents to not only stand out in your career but also increase your income to invest in your financial freedom. I also emphasize the importance of taking the Clifton StrengthsFinder assessment to unlock your potential and align your career with your God-given talents. This episode provides actionable tips to shift your focus from simply earning a paycheck to building wealth by working in your zone of genius.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Earning a six-figure income is a major milestone but it’s not the end goal. Your career should be a powerful tool for building wealth and achieving financial freedom.
    • The real secret to career success isn't just in learning new skills, but in understanding and leveraging your strengths.
    • Strengths and skills are different: skills are learned abilities, while strengths are your natural talents that energize you and make you stand out.
    • Look for career opportunities that allow you to use your strengths daily, and find mentors who can help you leverage those strengths for career success.
    • Showcase your strengths in job interviews by providing concrete examples of how you've used them to drive results.
    • Long-term career success and financial freedom come from working in your zone of genius, where you can excel and create unique value.

    Challenge of the Week: Take the Clifton StrengthsFinder assessment and post your top five strengths in the Facebook group. Let’s support each other in leveraging our strengths to take confident steps toward financial freedom!

  • 09 Stumped on money management, this financial wellness habit will help
    Sep 30 2024

    Hello my friend!

    In this week’s episode, we uncover a surprising statistic: 51% of consumers earning more than $100,000 a year are still living paycheck to paycheck. If you’re wondering how that’s possible, you’re not alone! Today, we explore one of the common reasons behind it—hidden subscription costs.

    I dive into how small, recurring expenses like streaming services, gym memberships, and app subscriptions can quietly add up and keep you from achieving financial freedom. I share personal stories, practical advice, and encouragement to help you become more intentional with your spending. Plus, you’ll learn how to identify and eliminate those sneaky charges without feeling guilt or shame.

    Join us for a faith-filled, empowering conversation on taking back control of your cash flow and aligning every dollar with your financial goals. 💸

    Tune in now to learn how to start reclaiming your money!

  • 08 Six reasons you should stop focusing on income to grow your money
    Sep 23 2024

    Hello my friend,

    In this episode of Confident Steps to Financial Freedom, we’re diving into a topic that often flies under the radar—your net worth. Many of us are used to focusing on our income or how much we make, but today, we’re shifting the spotlight to why your net worth matters even more when life throws those unexpected curveballs. I explain how tracking and growing your net worth can be a game-changer for your financial stability and long-term peace of mind.

    We break down the concept of net worth in simple terms—what you own minus what you owe—and explore how it serves as a financial safety net. Throughout the episode, we uncover key reasons why your net worth plays such a vital role in protecting you from life’s surprises, whether it's sudden job loss, medical emergencies, or economic downturns. Along the way, we tie in Biblical wisdom to highlight the importance of good stewardship and preparing for the future.

    Whether you’re just starting to track your net worth or looking to strengthen it, this episode will inspire you to make intentional moves toward long-term security and financial peace.

    XOXO,

    Pam
