Vanessa RedfordParticipant
You got it! 🍹
Vanessa RedfordParticipantHahaha hell yeah!
I’m a no-salt, mango, on the rocks type.
Clink! 🍹Vanessa RedfordParticipantNice selections!
What flavor marg?
And blended or on the rocks?Vanessa RedfordParticipantOh I will!
I got my soapbox right here LOL
Money and true financial freedom are my favorite topics 😁Vanessa RedfordParticipantIt’s all about the clarity. 💥🎤💥
Success is such a RELATIVE TERM. One person’s dream life is easily funded by a $10k annual salary (I’m remembering the stock broker who lost everything including his wife – she was upset that he was no longer able to fund her lifestyle – during 2008. He now trades enough to live comfortably on the returns … all snug in his tent under a bridge. Yep, he’s “homeless and jobless” ish and uber happy).
The point is, success is what brings you joy. It’s not the amount of zeros in black on you bank statement – regardless of what juice is being served in the media.
Once you let go of the “must be a million-billionaire to be happy” limitation, your next stop will be true financial freedom.
– The freedom to decide what your financial future gets to be for YOU.The end

Vanessa RedfordParticipantHearing about this makes my brain light up and warms my heart.
I love data.Vanessa RedfordParticipantRicardo, your post is super juicy! Thank you for sharing so vulnerably. I feel like there’s going to be several heads nodding and hands raised in “me, too” affirmation.
I’ve been here, too, and 99% of my clients struggle with some form of self doubt, imposter syndrome, and/or feeling inferior.I love that you’ve done the research and have science and numbers showing the comparisons and revealing the results – pedigree/brand doesn’t guarantee accuracy, it’s the skills and talents of the professional that counts.
Based on what you’ve shared about accuracy comparisons, I’m going to assume that this was a numbers to numbers, data to data comparison and didn’t involve people’s opinions or biases.You’ve also shared that you ARE receiving the validation from clients that your work is as good as or even preferred over the Big Firms.
MY QUESTION FOR YOU: What will it take for YOU to start believing in your skills, talents, and abilities?
I can share my journey, and others can also share theirs. BUT it’s always going to come back around to you and what you need in order to shift your opinions about this.
Vanessa RedfordParticipant=D You’re the best!
Vanessa RedfordParticipantCan’t tell you HOW EXCITED I am that you’re offering support to neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ communities! This is so needed.
I have personal connections to both communities and I’m happy to offer support in anyway that would be beneficial.Vanessa RedfordParticipantDefinitely count on me/us for support!
My daughter has been facing similar struggles.
I’m here for you <3Vanessa RedfordParticipant=) Hugging you back!
Haha, if I ever take the road trip whipping public, I’ll let you know.
Asphalt Domination could be my hobby calling. <insert gif of Home Alone Macauley Culkin doing his eye brow raising thing>Asphalt Doms sounds like a cool car club LOL or maybe I’ll petition for patches and make it a moto club. Hmmm…the wheels are turning.
Vanessa RedfordParticipant“People have to pay me for what I know not what I do going forward *puts foot down*” – I love that! <clapping hands in the air>
Like Maya Angelou says: “We know better, then we do better.”
<high five>Vanessa RedfordParticipantFirst, let me appreciate your candid and open share, Dre.
I can’t tell you how good it feels to me to be around a genuine soul like you that openly tells the truth – no fake niceness or quiet money references – you share boldly in all it’s glory.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.My why gained more clarity and aggressive action when I woke up one morning.
The first thought I had was “FUCK! Not again!!!” And I pulled the covers over my head.
I had no idea how long I’d been waking up to that thought, but I knew it’d been too long. I decided it was the last day I’d wake up hating my life and being ashamed of myself.
My big why was spawned from a personal ultimatum: to live on my terms or pull the plug.I chose to live on my terms: no fake niceness (the customer service face/voice, I call it), no more guilt, shame, or regrets. My no’s and yes’s were boldly expressed and equally important.
The hate I got for this big shift? I brushed them off my shoulders like the dandruff they are. Yuck and not worth my energy carrying them around.This personal revolution has become one of my biggest drivers/why’s in the coaching that I focus on. I’m here to help others create a life that they love waking up to.
I’m their wake up call.
It’s why I support my clients in embracing what they ACTUALLY, truthfully want in life – their version of “having it all” – no shame, no guilt, no regrets. Happy money, more time, and peace of mind.Beyond that, my why’s are pretty simple: to have mornings all to myself for coffee, puppy time, and whatever way I want to spend them. I love mornings now, because I made them mine, they work for me now. BEING present, literally and figuratively, for my 16 year old baby girl – that’s been priceless.
Another why: to be the Road Trip Dominatrix, whipping that asphalt with my GT! =D
Sending you all cheers and good vibes. Know that the vulnerability in your shares are held in appreciation.
Vanessa RedfordParticipant100% Loving that part of you (even if others call it flawed) is true strength. <high five>
Ya know…people need to stop and think about what they’re saying to folks, because no one has the right to tell you that you need “speak up”, or for some of us it’s “stop being too big for your britches”, or “too loud” (you may never guess I was labeled that, too LOL).
Anyway, people need to keep their damn opinions to themselves when it comes to personal criticisms – especially when the critique is NOT asked for.
Eating away at someone’s confidence should be a crime.
It’s seriously debilitating and should be recognized as such.Knowing they have no right to disrupt your peace of mind and confidence helps you set those healthy boundaries in place so that the next time someone makes a critical remark you won’t accept it and it’ll just bounce off your confidence force field…. pew, pew… pew, pew, pew…
