On today’s show, I am joined by Shalida Gray (A.K.A. Coach Lida) who runs a healthy lifestyle & nutrition business and is helping people change the way they “view and do” life when it comes to food. She is all about clean eating and helping people stay fit. Although she had a few tests and trials, her journey towards healthy lifestyles and living fearlessly is nothing short of an inspiration. Listen in as Coach Lida tells us how she turned a health diagnosis into a thriving business simply by making lifestyle changes.

Show Notes:

*After having a child and finding it extremely difficult to shed the post-baby weight, Coach Lida decided to talk to her doctor to determine if something was wrong. Although, she received a diagnosis that contributed to the difficulties of losing weight, Coach Lida took on the challenge of incorporating healthy eating into her every day life.

*Coach Lida believes healthy eating is all about BALANCE! She does not encouraged eliminating or removing food groups, but emphasizes portion control. 

*Over a period of time, with balanced eating and exercise, she dropped over 50 lbs and is now helping other men and women live a healthy life. She turned her coaching “Side hustle” into a full-time business and gives great tips on what to implement prior to launching any business in the podcast.

*Her programs and plans can be found at https://www.phoenixfitnessintl.com/ and on her Facebook Page (Click Here). Sign-up for any of her plans to jump-start your healthy living regime and not only look great, but feel great.

On today’s show, I am joined by Octavia Conner, a Virtual CFO and Accountant whose goal is to turn six figure entrepreneurs into millionaires. She talks about how she used her skills to step out on faith and launch her business. Although she had ups and downs, she has learned in her own business (and by teaching other businesses) how to maximize profits. Every business owner, side hustler or those who may be standing on the fence, need to take a listen. It’s a another good one.

Show Notes:

* Octavia used her experience as an accountant and the gifts God gave her to step out on faith and launch her business. It was not easy. She made a few mistakes (as we all have done), but here are a few tips she gave during the podcast that will help any business succeed in its first stages:

   1. Create a 12-month Strategic Plan 

     2. Save at least 6-12 months of expenses prior to launching the business

     3. Get a bookkeeper who can manage the business’ Financial Management System

*Octavia’s book, “Say Yes to Profits” can be purchase on her website as well as Amazon. I’ve read it and it is a great book for those who have businesses and want to increase their earning potential.

*If you are a business owner and need assistance with bookkeeping, financial management and/or in creating a plan to maximize profits, you may visit Octavia Conner’s website, www.sayyestoprofits.com to schedule an appointment.

On today’s show, we are going to talk about Money & Marriage and give you a few tips to achieving marital peace in your finances. So, if you are tired of fighting over money, want to be able to work together as a couple to set and reach financial goals, this show is for you.

Show Notes:

* Communicating effectively about money begins with creating a comfortable, distraction-free place to talk without out playing the blame game or pointing fingers. These financial chats can be weekly, monthly, quarterly or even annually. There you should discuss your current financial status and develop a plan to improve your financial status.

* Don’t be a financial sabotager. A financial sabotager is a person who sets goals to achieve financial success, but allows their actions to do the contrary. Implement delayed gratification and know that is not a “no” but a “not yet.”

* Handling money is not related to gender or roles, but best suits the person who is the most competent in getting it done. Whomever is best at handling money, whether it is the husband or wife, should be the one to manage the household finances.

* If you have tried everything to achieve financial peace, but nothing is working, don’t be ashamed  (or even prideful) to get extra help. Paying for a financial coach to get you on the right track is cheaper than divorce court.

* To get our Free Money & Marriage Guide that details a few of these tips, CLICK HERE to download.

* This month’s Financial Strategy Special is our “Money & Marriage Session” and our “Before You Say I Do Session.” These sessions are for married and engaged couples who want to create financial harmony in their marriage and begin working towards financial freedom. To schedule, CLICK HERE.
