I love talking to people it’s my happy place. For me there is nothing better than sharing and connecting, particularly with my long-term clients who I have a very special and privilege relationship with. We talk about everything openly and honestly but recently our discussions have centered around this one big question;

What are the three biggest problems you are facing right now?

I know there are so many issues on everyone’s mind and it’s probably hard to pin point given the state of the world and all of it’s uncertainties. I don’t think I can remember a more uncomfortable or unstable time in my life. But if you could focus on the top three problems that keep racing around in your head, what would it be?

Let me share with you what came up for my clients. The feedback I got time and time again from all of these incredible women and let me tell you they’re intelligent, resourceful, resilient, strong, successful and they are happening. But guess what they’re telling me?

• They’re overwhelmed,
• they’re overworked
• There are not enough resources,
• There’s not enough time
• The to-do list just never goes away and
• They feel unfulfilled

I get goosebumps thinking about that and for most of us who watch from the outside because not everything is as it seems, we watch from the outside and we think;

• “WOW, hasn’t she got it all together”
• “She looks amazing”
• “She’s successful”
• “She looks like she’s making a heap of money”
• “So she must be well off! Right?”

We ask ourselves “How can I be like her?

But you do know that looks can be deceiving. Right?

Do you know what they’re telling me? They don’t feel like that on the inside and a lot of the time I don’t feel like that on the inside.

And if you’re being totally honest with me and yourself, you probably don’t feel like that on the inside, do you? I’m guessing you don’t because we all have our moments and if we really want to be honest and super vulnerable, we’re going to have to say it out aloud, at least to ourselves first and foremost and then find a community that you can share this with, a community that will understand where you’re coming from and resonate with what you’re saying. When you hear yourself say, “oh my God, it’s not just me, there are other women out there that feel like me”, you know you’re in the right place.

So what’s the solution? Do I have an answer? Well I do and you know what it is?

It’s the ability to live a life of choice?

Yeah I mean isn’t that what we all want in life? We want to be able to get up in the morning and choose to do whatever we want, for that day to the next day and from that point on in our lives. Isn’t that what we all want so desperately? But how do we achieve it? As I said, the to do list never goes away. The overwhelm, the lack of support, constantly doing the do, but not getting anywhere and looking like we’re super successful and we’re awesome and we’re great. But deep down inside we’re not feeling it.

The answer is called Financial Independence because you know what, when you have plenty of money, you can do whatever you like and that’s what I teach how to get plenty of money. So if you want to live a life of choice, stop the overwhelm and take your life back, start by learning the rules of money and then how to mange it.

I get you. I know what you’re talking about, I’m one of you. I was lucky enough, I don’t know how, to have found Accounting and Financial Planning and here I am talking about the very thing that I struggled with, my financial blueprint. I had to work hard at it and I still do every single day. But I know a better way, I can share a better way. Question is do you want a better way?

I’m Tracey Sofra and I believe women should take control of their money and create the financial independence they deserve to live a life of choice.
