Gabe Nelson Financial, Inc. Podcast: Solopreneur Money
Create the freedom to build the life you want.
Where were you in 2008? In college, working for that corporate? Me, well I was starting a business. Great timing, eh?
It’s May 2008, I am 37 years of age, married with 3 kids under 9 years of age, my wife Melissa is working part-time nights and weekends as a nurse so that we don’t have our kids in full-time daycare. While I am working around the clock trying to provide for my family an email comes in from the mothership questioning my decisions and asking me to justify my advice. “Please explain your reasoning as to why you decided to help the below named client in that manner.” I am instantly angry…”That’s it, I am going to start my own firm”.
Almost every solopreneur has a story like this. The company wants you to take care of their clients/business their way, to create the freedom to build the life they want — to do it their way or the highway.
If this sounds like your story, this podcast is for you. If you are a successful solopreneur, consultant, independent contractor or gig worker that is too busy to do all this finance stuff yourself, this podcast is for you. If you are confused by the complexities that success has brought upon you and want someone to guide you through the morass of financial stuff this podcast is for you.
From this podcast, you should expect simple, straightforward tips to help you master your finances so that you can have the freedom to create the life you want. I am going to be sharing actionable tips to help you be a more financially savvy and better business owner, so you can be a better spouse, a better parent, and ultimately a better you.
