Dear Empowered One,

Let’s redefine what it means to build wealth.

Wealth isn’t about how busy you are.
Or how many hours you grind.
It’s about how intentionally you invest — in your vision, your values, and your future.

Every day, you’re investing something.
💸 Your money
⏳ Your time
⚡ Your energy

The difference between spinning and scaling?
Clarity and strategy.

Today, we enter the world of intentional investing — the kind that honors who you are and where you’re going.

Two Types of Investments That Build Real Wealth

Before we go deeper, let’s play a little:

Riddle Break:

What am I?
(Hint: keep reading — answer at the end.)

1. ENERGY — The First Asset Class

Before you spent dollars, you spent focus.
And where your focus goes, your reality grows.

If your time, attention, and boundaries are scattered — your outcomes will be too.
But when your energy is concentrated and clear?
Results follow fast.

Try This:
Begin each week with an Energy ROI Audit:

Trade busywork for high-return focus.
You’ll gain energy, clarity, and time — your most powerful compounders.

Affirm:
“I invest my energy where it multiplies, not where it disappears.”

2. MONEY — The Mirror of Your Vision

Financial investing isn’t just about assets — it’s about alignment.

You don’t have to be a Wall Street expert to build wealth.
You do need a clear vision and a few courageous steps.

Money isn’t emotional. But it’s deeply personal.
When you make choices that reflect your true priorities, your finances start reflecting your future — not your fears.

Your Intentional Wealth Starter Kit

These are the same foundational tools we use inside the Live Rich, Retire Rich experience:

Step 1: Define Your Wealth Vision

“I want my wealth to create ______, so I can ______ without guilt, burnout, or second-guessing.”

Use this sentence to map every financial and energetic decision.

Step 2: Rethink ROI

ROI = Return on Investment.
But in an intentional life? It also means Return on Integrity.

Every purchase, subscription, commitment or click…
Is it buying you time, freedom, or stress?

If it doesn’t return something meaningful — it’s a leak, not a lift.

Step 3: Activate Your First Moves

• Open a high-yield savings account and nickname it after your dream (e.g., “Retirement Escape Plan” or “Creative Studio Fund”)

• Start a weekly auto-transfer — $25 or $250, the number isn’t the point. The habit is.

• Learn by doing: apps like Public, Fidelity Spire, and Ellevest help you start small and stay informed.

• Invest in systems, tools, or support that create more time and peace in your life — that’s real wealth.

Affirm:
“I move my money in alignment with the future I’m funding.”

Real Story, Real Shift

One of my clients had a six-figure income and zero peace.
She was working 60 hours a week, pouring into everyone, and yet… nothing to show for it emotionally or financially.

We started with two simple shifts:

1. Canceling two recurring meetings that drained her energy

2. Automating her savings with $100/week toward her “Retire & Write” fund
   

Fast-forward six months:

• Her manuscript nearly done

• Opened her first brokerage account

• Booked a solo wellness trip

• And smiled when she checked her balance — for once, it aligned with her life
  

  She didn’t get lucky.
  She got aligned.

BONUS: The Money Personality Decoder

Your internal wiring shapes your relationship with money. Here’s a quick guide:

• The Provider: Loves to give but struggles to receive

• The Builder: Focused on growth, sometimes at the cost of presence

• The Saver: Feels safe with stockpiled cash, but may fear risk

• The Intuitive Investor: Feels the future, but needs a plan to match the vision
  

Journal Prompt:
Which pattern do I operate from most, and what would a balanced version look like?

Real Wealth Moves You Can Start This Week

Because insight without action? Is just mental clutter.

Name Your Savings Account
Log into your bank, open a high-yield savings account, and rename it to match your dream:

“Bali Sabbatical” | “Debt-Free Year” | “First Investment Property”

Automate a Weekly Transfer
Start with $25. Scale up to $250 when it feels good.
Consistency > perfection. This is your freedom fund in motion.

Buy Back 1 Hour of Time
Hire a virtual assistant for one small recurring task.
Or delegate grocery delivery.
Ask: Where is my energy too expensive to spend?

Open a Beginner Brokerage Account
Use an intuitive app like Public, Ellevest, or Fidelity Spire.
Start with $50 and invest in a values-aligned ETF (social impact, women-led, green energy — your choice).
