Choice, Freedom And Financial Planning

Loading player...
Guest: Nikki Bush, Human Potental Expert, Speaker & Author

Your degree of choice and freedom in the future is tied to your financial plan. Generations of conditioning to prioritise others can leave you feeling like the supporting act, both at home and at work. This mindset can make financial freedom feel like a dream rather than a reality.

Start small. Commit to a monthly debit order, no matter how modest. This habit allows you to build financial assets, stocks, shares, exchange-traded funds, that grow over time. Putting aside “what’s left over” at the end of the month is not a strategy; you need to make your money work for you while you work for it.
