You are wealthier than you think: How to start from what you have and create more – Ann Justi

Most of us don’t think we have enough wealth and are not sure where to start or what to do to create more. First look at what your concept of wealth is, what you have, and where your goal is in creating more wealth. I never expected that after almost 20 years at a company I would be laid off or looking for various income sources to pay rent. The exploration took me to learn much about wealth and what we can do about our wealth. Next time you don’t think you are wealthy just look around you in your home. The average American home has 300,000 items. Let's go further and say you have a place to sleep, and you have food. If you are reading this, you have an internet connection and a device to read this article. Take stock of what you have. We are always looking to add stuff to our li...

Mental Health IS Wealth – Dr. Catherine Jackson

How often when you think about building wealth do you think about your mental health? For most of us, the answer to this is little if at all. When most of us think of wealth building we think of money. Obtaining it, maintaining it, and having so much of it we can pass it down through the generations. Typically and traditionally building wealth involves generating and sustaining long-term income through a variety of income sources, savings, and investments that allow us to engage in the betterment of society as a whole through philanthropic efforts. However, mental health is wealth. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), “Mental health is a state of mental well-being that enables people to cope with the stresses of life, realize their abilities, learn well and...

How to build wealth: My journey beyond the American dream – Nicky Hassaballa

When I was young, I remember hearing other kids say, “I want to be rich when I grow up so that I can buy whatever I want.” Daily, I see how we are being sold the “American Dream” by showing us how we can make money, and when we make that money, we are shown what we can buy with that money, and after we buy that luxury car and home with a pool, we are told we will reach the height of our happiness in life. I bought into that dream but didn’t realize it. Being a first-generation American influences the relationship you have with money. I was frugal from a young age; I would put money into my savings with every paycheck and contribute to my 401k. The times I would spend money on myself were far and few between because I had to be sure that I had enough money in case o...

Good to Better – Ann Justi

Most people want things to be the best. Being the best is about being better. Being better every day. Being better than yesterday. Being better even when circumstances change, or things don’t get better at first. Here are several ways to go from good to better. How good things are now. Look at macro and micro-moments to see how good things are now. What obstacles have you overcome, what major accomplishments (that you really wanted) have you achieved, and what wisdom have you gained from your experiences? I use micro gratitudes every day to maintain a positive mood and outlook. I am breathing, alive, I have food, shelter, the ability to move, think, beauty to see, and all those things we take for granted, that parking space you got, all the people who make it possi...

The 5 Stages of Re-Inventing Yourself – Nicky Hassaballa

How many times have you ever said, ‘this year, I will….?’ Yet, that thing you talk about all the time and say you want so badly either never happens, or that initial excitement leads to a false start. We make these promises to ourselves because there is a voice within us, a knowing, that this thing must happen, go away, or change for our overall betterment. It’s not that we don’t want whatever it is that we promised, wished, or prayed for, but for some reason, it keeps eluding us and we are back in the loop of just falling short. Even me writing down these words took me a multitude of attempts to get to putting pen to paper. I have the vision, the ideas, and maybe even the outline in my mind. I continuously ask myself why it takes so long to really start? The sy...

Fear into Desire into Action – Ann Justi

I used to have an overwhelming job doing technical operations which I responded to my day with fear: What was going to break next?, What deadline might I have to miss?, How was this workload and schedule going to affect my relationships?, How am I going to get all this done?, etc. My desire was for no disasters and perhaps a day that wasn’t leaving me exhausted at the end. My action was to get as much done as possible and prioritize the situation hour by hour or even minute by minute. What a desire for a business of my own? It was too scary. It was too out of my reach because I didn’t know how to get there. It was too big. Add any of your own fears that you may have imagined for yourself. I finally reached a point where something had to give. I started a meditation practice. ...

My Journey to Limitless – Uma Subramanian

Rising above our circumstances, recognizing our limitless potential, and living the life we want Flashback to July 2022, when I made the courageous decision to quit my full-time job, where I was heading two business groups, reporting to a C-Suite executive. It was not something I decided on a whim or an impulse – there had been growing feelings of being excluded, overlooked, and not taken seriously since I started reporting to this new manager. However, things reached a tipping point during an official meeting when I was blatantly disrespected and devalued in front of my peers. In the past, I would have likely been caught up in self-doubt and misery as I tried to figure out what went wrong; however, this time around, it felt different. As soon as this happened, I knew that...
