What a year, huh? I think I have said that for like three years in a row… Welp, we’re in the home stretch now… and hopefully, people can take some time and regroup for the next few months. Thinking about the holiday-year-end season, people often think of this as the perfect time of year to…
DetailsI always re-up this post welllll before Thanksgiving because I want to plant the seed… I think Thanksgiving is the perfect time to check in with family and friends about gift giving for the upcoming season.

DetailsA while ago, I had a prospect say to me, “Mindy, this service is not cheap. Are you sure this will be worth it for me?” Honestly? Not at all… I can’t promise any kind of particular results when someone works with me on their personal finances, mostly because I’m not their mother and not…

DetailsI am going to pose a scenario. Don’t get caught up in the language… if you aren’t self-employed, or don’t work 1-to-1, just change the language to reflect what you do. Imagine an acquaintance contacts you. They say, “You do That Amazing Thing You Do better than anyone I have come across in recent history…
DetailsNobody wants to fail. Not consciously anyway. But sometimes not changing is easier than changing. We’ve all experienced this, right? It’s easier to stay in bed than get up and go for a run.
