It allows me to listen and really get in there with people.” (04:26) (Elizabeth)“I feel like I have a pretty good filtering system with people coming into my world. They’re gonna go through the podcast, the program, something where they’re at least open to, ‘Ok, money is energy and I’m interested. I want to learn more about this.’ So, it does help in that regard. But yes, I have worked with people and done experiments where I’ve taken people off the streets and said, ‘Let me work with you.’” (07:18) (Elizabeth)“Wealth is constantly changing and evolving just like we’re constantly changing and evolving.” (12:38) (Elizabeth)“I think people are so sick of rules, especially when it comes to finance and money.” (16:14) (Elizabeth)“I want people to be closer to their money because then it becomes part of their story. And when it becomes part of their story, then it becomes one and they’re not separate from it anymore.” (17:49) (Elizabeth)“It;s the cost of sitting on the sidelines. Once you really get that, you can no longer wait. And I think if you can get people to no longer wait, that is as valuable as giving them the best piece of financial advice out there.” (24:57) (Elizabeth)Guest ResourcesElizabeth’s Website
