Have you developed your own mission statement? It can help guide your activities and help you to say ‘no’.
To get you started, here is Louise’s mission statement:
“To inspire others by leading by example. To create wealth and spread my wealth to those I love and those I choose. And to nurture others to discover their true wealth so that they can change the world.”
Some Key Facts
A survey by GOBankingRates found that 64% of U.S. workers are expected to retire with less than $10,000 in dedicated retirement savings.
The other 36% aren’t in great shape either. Just over 12% say they’ll retire with anywhere from $100,000 to $500,000, and only 4% are expecting to retire with over $500,000.
Scary, hey?
Your financial future is in your hands.
