Change For Your Dollar with John Putnam HOPE ON DEMAND

Recession…financial uncertainty…as scary as the words may seem, I believe that you can successfully take actions that sets you up to conquer financial uncertainty. That’s why, in this episode, we’re going to focus on the value of self-control in our finances. We’ll tap into the example of legendary baseball player Jackie Robinson and how courage and self-control can turn the tide. This conversation serves as a reminder that although some things are out of our control, like stock market volatility, rising inflation, and rising interest rates, we can still take action to minimize their impact on our lives. 

Join me and let’s explore what it means to be 'recession ready' starting with self-control!
