Show Notes

“In that moment with that advisor, I made a decision that I wanted to be wealthy… and I’ve not looked back.”

—  Jackie Porter

Jackie Porter may have found her way into finance accidentally — but she quickly realized how powerful it is to understand how money works and how to build wealth.

Now she works to empower other women to become financially literate, take control of their money, and position themselves for a comfortable retirement. 

Jackie’s book, Single by Choice or Chance: A Smart Woman’s Guide to Living Longer, Better, was written to help women design life plans that help them achieve not only their financial goals, but their career, relationship, and other personal goals.

It’s a mission that Jackie takes very seriously.

"People feel very intimidated talking about their finances, especially if they don’t feel they did things right or correctly,” Jackie explains. “Maybe they’re going through a divorce and trying to recover their circumstances, or their business isn’t where they want to be... let’s just think about the future you want to create — what do you need to do to get there?”

In‌ ‌this‌ ‌episode,‌ ‌you’ll discover:‌ ‌

>  The differences between female millennials & boomers when it comes to money and entrepreneurship 

>  The importance of finding your financial tribe & choosing professionals who are a good fit for your account

>  Questions you should ask your finance professional — and questions they should ask you
