- Emprendimiento
Episode 13 - Jodi-Ann Smith, owner and founder of Abundance of Jo is a Personal Finance Coach. Her perfect client and niche market is young women who are starting off on their own and are learning techniques to save and make money so they can live an abundant life.
She arrived in Canada from Jamaica only a few years ago to pursue an MBA a an international student at University of British Columbia (UBC). As her story goes, she needed to organize her finances and get on top of her money life. In doing so, she quickly came to realize that there was not enough personal finance information for some very key groups in society – young women fresh out of school and immigrants.
She launched her business, Abundance of Jo, in 2020 to teach young women and immigrants, like herself, to to become money-wise, beginning with the right mindset. She is a self proclaimed Personal Finance Geek and loves consuming content on saving money, investing and all things related to smart money management.
Her experience and knowledge gained from Business School taught her how to operate a successful business of her own - a foundation that has changed the trajectory of her career from retail and Public Relations (PR).
Jodi herself became for ingrained on the topic of finances by following podcasts. Three she mentioned are:
More Money, a Canadian-based podcast hosted by Jessica Moorhouse;
Budgetnista hosted by Tiffany, America's Favourite Financial Educator; and
Money After Graduation hosted by Bridget Casey
In this episode we talk books. Here are her top two:
Think Big: Unleashing Your Potential for Excellence by Dr. Ben Caron; and
The Holy Bible.
If you are like me, you wish you had more time to read the stories and verses of the Bible. To get my daily dose I rely on handy apps. Today, there are so many out there. My personal favourite that I have been using for several years now is YouVersion. Each morning there's a new verse that I can lament over for the rest of the day. You can also subscribe to any number of plans from a few days to 30 days. It's also a platform to connect, share a profile and the plans and readings you are following. I often share them on Instagram. IG has many you can follow as well such as @verseoftheday.
Jodi writes a blog, which is on her website abundanceofjo.com with each article full of great advice regarding money from financial planning and budgeting to mindset work and learning to be in control of what you make and spend. She also shares in her blog some valuable money podcast worth tuning into. You can find Jodi on and on Facebook and IG at @abundanceofjo, Pinterest at pinterest.ca/AbundanceofJo/ and Twitter at twitter.com/JoAbundance
