It was really practical and so relatable. 2 of my key takeaways are around: - Auditing my beliefs about money and reflecting on my relationship with money (i.e - thoughts and feelings that guide how I act with it) - This insight that skills that earn you an income can be what you already naturally do best and not only what you learn or acquire from external knowledge - it's just about being open to the opportunities to apply it Thank you WIBA team for putting this together and for investing in us!
It was really eye opening Most of the things that were said are things that I already know, this session was a reinforcement for those ideologies and the push that I need to do better for myself It’s not enough to just say I want to make things happen, I actually have to put in the work and start doing it. Thank you so much for this session, I can’t wait to learn more the next two sessions and start building the life I want.
