Ready to take control of your finances this year? In this video, I break down the 10 essential steps that transformed my financial life—from understanding my money to building passive income streams. Drawing from my own experiences of doubling my income in four years and bouncing back from going broke twice, I share practical strategies and mindset shifts to help you achieve financial freedom.

Discover how tracking my spending uncovered shocking habits (like the $3,000 I once spent on entertainment in a month!) and why I believe investing in yourself and others beats traditional stock-heavy advice. Whether you’re tackling debt, creating a budget that works, or building an emergency fund with a twist (hint: it’s more than just 3-6 months of cash), this video has you covered.
