“There’s no such thing as being bad with money. You just have bad habits.”  -- Helen Ngo 

When I turned 18 and went off to college, I thought I was going to be a dentist. Despite growing up in a family of female entrepreneurs, and later realizing a career in medicine wasn’t for me, I never dreamed of starting my own company. 

The “aha” moment didn’t come until a few years after college, early in my career in the finance industry. When I asked my boss for a raise, he told me I’d be better off marrying rich. 

That was the last time I would ever be shamed for being an ambitious woman. 

My fire was lit. So, I fired that 9-5 corporate life for good. Never will I let someone control how much money I make.

On this episode of Live and Earn, I take a turn as the guest with my friend and client Ashley Williams, host of the Birds Mean Business podcast. Ashley and I discuss how my identity and upbringing influenced the drive I bring to my business every day. I also share the one thing I wish I had done before becoming an entrepreneur, and some of the top tips I share with my clients. 

What we tackle in this episode: 

• Why I decided to become an entrepreneur — and help other women specifically 
• How becoming a business owner myself transformed my relationship with my mother and my respect for her own journey as an entrepreneur before me 
• Why there’s no such thing as ‘being bad with money’
• How people who earn $6,000 and people who earn $60,000 can actually be making the same amount of money 
• The importance of spending with intention 
• Where your personal life should be before you start a business
• The types of people entrepreneurs should surround themselves with
• Why not everyone should be an entrepreneur
