Reach Your 2020 Money Goals As A Freelancer With These Five Money Resolutions
/Happy New Year, darling!
I don’t know about you, but 2019 was a season of intense highs and intense lows for me. It was a year for me to deepen my connection with my African ancestry and find an unshakeable sense of peace during moments of turmoil.
It was also a year of magical love (I got engaged!) and rediscovering who I wanted to be as a woman.
Last year, my word was VISIBILITY. And goodness did I manifest some incredible opportunities to be seen!
My TV show, Going From Broke produced by Ashton Kutcher, reached five million views within four weeks and the readership of Money & Mimosas expanded to over forty-five countries!
I was on the cover of the culture section of the SF Chronicle, the oldest running newspaper in San Francisco. I was named a personal finance expert by the Wall Street Journal and Fast Company, and one of the women leading the financial industry by Thrive Global. I was a guest on KGO radio in San Francisco and WGN radio in Chicago, and did a ton of podcast interviews.
In the midst of all of this success, I was going through intense healing. With my energy healer and shaman, I worked through a lot of PTSD. This PTSD was related to specific situations as well as my overall experience of being a black woman growing up in a country that hurls micro and macro aggressions at me, and those like me, on the daily.
The contrast of 2019 opened my eyes to the beauty of inner peace and deepened my resolve to practice self-love. After 2019, I am a reborn woman and so grateful for the lessons it gave me. I rediscovered my love for writing and will now proudly wear this identity. Thanks to those lessons, I am confidently stepping into 2020 and this new decade with ease, grace and strength.
My Word For 2020
My word this year is VITALITY. 2020 is my year to deepen my connection to my life force and glow from the inside, out. My financial goals are a reflection of this desire. They include reaching financial independence as a team with my fiancé by the end of this decade. For this year, my financial focus is to create a solid financial foundation for Money & Mimosas.
