    We Thought We Knew Money, We Were Wrong! - Episode 510

    What are some confessions about money that you don't want to admit? What were you taught about money versus what is reality about money? If you could start over with money, or had to start over with money, what would you do? Financial literacy isn't about being "smart with money"… it's about unlearning bad habits we picked up growing up, on TikTok, or just by surviving life. April is Financial Literacy Month… so we're confessing all the things we should've known but didn't—and what to actually do about it.

    How to Pay Off Debt Faster

    Are you using personal credit cards to run your business? Are you traking what you spend by category? Do you have multiple "deferred interest" or "90-days same as cash" debt balances? If so, then this week's podcast episode is an interview by Shawn & George of Nancy Ward, of www.WeeklyDebtPlan.com.  There's a moment a lot of solopreneurs hit:  they're putting in the work, the business is moving, and yet the financial reward just doesn't match the effort. Nancy Ward built her entire practice around that moment. As a financial coach and founder of Weekly Debt Plan, Nancy helps small business owners who are running on personal credit cards and avoiding their finances get clear on where their money is actually going, so they can stop the cycle and start paying themselves what they actually deserve. No budgeting lectures, no accountant speak. Just real clarity and a path forward. You can contact Nancy at the website above, or at Nancy@WeeklyDebtPlan.com.  Her website also has a TON of useful resources for solopreneurs that need budgetary help.

    Chasing Luck Instead of Building Stability

    What is a lucky break? Were they lucky or were they ready? Can you actually create your own luck? How do you position yourself to be lucky?  How do you engineer your own luck? On this week's episode, Shawn & George, two professionals who've seen it all - one from the courtroom, on from the coaching room - dismantle the myth that financially successful people are simply lucky, and make the case that "luck" is something you can actually manufacture with the right preparation, mindset, and timing.

    Forgive Me For I Have Spent!

    Welcome to the Religion of Crushing Debt, where we regularly confess our sins and ask for forgiveness. What sins have you committed that you would like forgiveness from Shawn & George? In this week's episode, we talk about financial "sins" most borrowers make, even innocently or unbeknownst to them.  Some of the sins include: I make money but live paycheck to paycheck. I maxed out my 401(k) but haven't talked to my spouse in months. I used my HELOC to buy Crypto Currency. I haven't filed taxes in three years because I'm afraid of what I owe. My business is profitable, but I pay myself nothing. I bought a car I cannot afford because my friends have one. I co-signed for my kids' loan. I have a high-paying job that I hate.
