Radical results require radical change. What are you willing to do to get what you want?
Ange Matthews created the life she has by investing. Investing can feel scary especially when you are just starting out, which is why I love Ange’s origin story.
I’m sure you can relate to this in some way. Ange was working 12 hours a day and not being paid for her time all while, as a recruiter, cutting checks that were much bigger than her own. She turned down a job at Goldman Sachs and began questioning if she made the right decision. One day, at her desk, while surrounded by the work she needed to be doing she googled “How to become rich”.
She found that all the advice was either learn to invest or become an entrepreneur, ideally both. AND don’t start investing until you’re debt free.
That last piece of advice didn’t sit well with Ange. She said that even if she paid off her debt, she’d still be at 0. Her debt was her past. What was she going to do in the present to make her future better? She did not want to stay at job just because the need for an income made it necessary. She didn’t want to have to live like that. As she said, it usually only takes one bad relationship to change your entire life. The relationship with her not-so-great job was the catalyst for major change in her life..
Ange began with no investment knowledge, and a fractured relationship with money that came from a place of lack. Her parent’s lived paycheck to paycheck during her childhood. Now she is proud to be the person who is changing her family’s legacy and creating generational wealth.
