Redefining Wealth with Patrice Washington

Tanisha Lyons-Porter: Functional Over Fictional

Where do you rank on the organized-disorganized spectrum? Many of us rank somewhere in the middle – not completely disorganized, but not 100% organized either. That’s why so many people set New Year’s resolutions to declutter their home.
But at Redefining Wealth, we’re not about resolutions, we’re about results, and that’s why I’ve invited Tanisha Lyons Porter to join us today. Tanisha is a professional organizer and has been organizing spaces since she was a child. In addition to working one-on-one with clients, Tanisha teaches several organizing workshops across Southern California, and her signature event – Sort n Sip with Tanisha Porter – is a hands-on organizing workshop that erases the dread of decluttering with food, fun and socializing.
So, if you’re trying to declutter this new year but you’re overwhelmed, this is an episode you don’t want to miss. Inside, we’re covering everything from practical steps for decluttering and making it a consistent habit to what the difference is between organizing a space versus cleaning a space.
This episode is brought to you by our complimentary Purpose Chasers community. Want to share your aha moments with a group of like-minded people from all over the world? Visit iamapurposechaser.com and join NOW.
 
Natural Born Organizer Takeaways
Clutter is the physical manifestation of chaos in your mind. – Patrice Washington
Organization is not about perfection, it’s about finding systems and methods that line up with how you and your family operate. – Tanisha Lyons Porter
Being organized is about being able to find what you need, when you need it – it’s not about being Pinterest perfect. – Tanisha Lyons Porter
The average American spends 76 hours a year looking for things they already own but can never find. – Patrice Washington
When it comes to getting rid of clutter, create a consistent routine rather than an organizing event or marathon. – Tanisha Lyons Porter
Keeping clothes in your closet that don’t fit is like keeping mean girlfriends around because you don’t like to be alone. – Tanisha Lyons Porter

Tonya Dalton: The Joy of Missing Out

Are you the type of person who goes to bed thinking, “I didn’t do enough today,” “I didn’t accomplish all the things I had on my to-do list and I feel awful about it”? Too often, this is how we end our day, and it’s how we wake up the next day.
But here’s the thing, feeling bad about yourself for not being as productive as you wanted to be doesn’t serve you. And it certainly isn’t going to boost your productivity because who’s going to be more productive when they feel like they’ve been bad? 
In today’s episode, I sit down with Tonya Dalton, author of The Joy of Missing Out and founder of inkWELL Press Productivity Co., a company centered around productivity tools and training, to dive further into this topic of to-do lists and priorities and how most of the things we check off our lists just leave us feeling incomplete and unhappy.
This episode is brought to you by our complimentary Purpose Chasers community. Want to share your aha moments with a group of like-minded purpose chasers from all over the world? Visit iamapurposechaser.com and join NOW.
 
The Joy of Missing Out Takeaways
So often we think life is meant to be endured, when truly it’s meant to be enjoyed. – Tonya Dalton
We’re so busy chasing busy that we don’t give ourselves a chance to inhale so that we can exhale. – Tonya Dalton
Give yourself permission to take back your power and choose what actually matters to you. – Patrice Washington
We’re so busy people pleasing that we put ourselves at the very bottom of our own people-pleasing list. – Tonya Dalton
We can’t shine our light on other people if our batteries always need recharging. – Tonya Dalton
Self-care is not about spa days and pedicures; it’s about filling up your soul, not your calendar. – Tonya Dalton
Quiet your soul – only then will you be able to see where God is pulling you. – Tonya Dalton
When it comes to living that go-go-go lifestyle, it’s easy to get caught up in the busyness of it and think that productivity should outweigh our happiness. But that’s just not true – your happiness is more important than checking off a bunch of meaningless tasks.
So I invite you to think about how you’re living each day. Are you checking off tasks that are truly important to you or are you checking off tasks and creating lists that are meaningless to your purpose?

Koya Webb: Your Rituals Create Your Results

Why is a morning routine important? How do you start one and what do you include? Is it just a morning meditation or can your routine include meditation, breakfast, going to the gym, journaling, etc.?
In today’s episode, we’re kicking off 2020 with our Results NOT Resolutions series and I’ve invited Koya Webb, founder of Get Loved Up, an international lifestyle community and Yoga School, and author of Let Your Fears Make You Fierce, to share how she uses rituals to manifest results in her life.
Koya is an internationally recognized yoga teacher, celebrity holistic health coach, author, speaker and vegan activist whose core mission is to promote daily self-care, oneness and eco-friendly living to combat some of the world’s biggest challenges including mental health, social injustices and global warming.
Part of Koya’s message is if you’re serious about getting results and manifesting what it is you say you want, then you have to commit. You have to consistently –day-in, day-out – show up and do the work.
Now, let’s dive in as Koya and I discuss this and more! 
This episode is brought to you by Purpose 2 Platform, my hands on business accelerator that gives spirit-led women the strategy to create more impact, influence and income with integrity. Schedule a call to see if I’m the coach for you!
Rituals Create Your Results Takeaways
Gratitude is the number one key to keeping us in alignment with love. – Koya Webb
Expressing gratitude takes you out of victim mentality and puts you into that creator mentality. – Koya Webb
Whenever you find yourself in any type of emotion that’s not love, happiness, joy or abundance, that’s fear. – Koya Webb
Fear is feedback. When fear comes up, it’s telling you there’s a place within you that needs more love and attention. – Koya Webb
I want you to see the person who offended you on a stage, for example, and imagine a bunch of good things happening to them. – Koya Webb
When I know better, I have to do better and if I don’t, then I’m part of the problem. – Koya Webb
Do you have a morning routine? Do you practice gratitude? One of the big hesitations people have around setting a routine is that they won’t commit to it every day.
Discipline is not a punishment and it’s not perfection. If you’re just starting out, try to do one thing to process your emotions – practice gratitude, journaling, going for a walk, meditating, and so on. Do one thing that brings you joy and then build on it.
 
Redefining Wealth Rapid Wisdom Questions
And with that, let’s dig into Koya’s responses to our Redefining Wealth Rapid Wisdom Questions.
Define Success:
“Success is living in the vibration of love in everything that I do.”
Define Wealth in 3 Words or Less:
“Abundance in love.” 
One Book that Has Redefined How You See Wealth:
Abundance Now by Lisa Nichols
Fill-in the Blanks … “My name is ___ and the truth about wealth is ___”:
“My name is Koya and the truth about wealth is it’s available at all times and in all places.”

Growing Over Winning: A Recap of 2019

If you’re feeling like you’ve missed the mark this year or you didn’t accomplish everything you wanted to, then this episode is for you. This week we’re shifting how we reflect on wins and accomplishments, and celebrating the process and steps to those wins just as much as the wins themselves.
Many of us look to Instagram or to our Facebook memories to try to piece together the wins and milestones of the year, but we often forget the small steps and work that was needed to achieve those things.
I use journaling, not only as a powerful manifestation tool, but also as a reminder of the process to whatever goal I’ve set for myself. Journaling, for me, is not about keeping a diary, it’s about understanding how to unlock more of the things I say I want and heal the things that come up in the process.
This episode is brought to you by Rachel Luna and the Faith Activated Journaling Experience, which is a year-long experience that teaches you how to stop wasting your time and so you can manifest MASSIVE results through journaling.
You’ll discover how to unlock your blessings, author the life of your dreams and create rapid results in just 5 minutes a day.
If you want to up level your game and GROW in the 6 pillars of Wealth, check out Faith Activated by going to PatriceWashington.com/FaithActivated.
Growing Over Winning Takeaways 
Journaling gives me an accurate depiction of my growth or lack thereof. – Patrice Washington
You don’t have to be completely out of debt to acknowledge the win of shifting your money mindset. – Patrice Washington
You don’t have to drop 100 pounds to acknowledge that you’ve been plant-based for the last five days and feel great. – Patrice Washington
I was settling for what had been good – that comfort zone – instead of going after what God was showing me. – Patrice Washington
The growth is in the mindset. It’s not something I can check off my list. It’s who I’ve become in the process. – Patrice Washington
Give yourself grace and acknowledge your growth. – Patrice Washington
As you move into 2020, I encourage you to celebrate your wins – big and small – and reflect on your growth. You’re moving forward, so celebrate it. 
If you’re stuck thinking, “It’s never good enough,” you’re going to stay stuck another year, and that’s not what I want for you. So bask in the glory of your wins and share them with us!

Stop Romanticizing Relationships

 
Have you ever been in a relationship with someone – personal or professional – where the connection doesn’t feel fully aligned, and it makes you a little uneasy, but you ignore it? In most cases, we figure it’s just us, right? Or, that we’re merely reading too much into a given situation or exchange.
Well, this week I’m here to tell you: Don’t ignore those gut feelings you have and stop romanticizing relationships – current and expired ones.
For me, this topic hits close to home because I recently tried to justify accepting behavior that was not in alignment with my core values. It was one of those, “Well, I know that’s how so-and-so treats other people, but with me, it’s different.” 
Reality is, IT’S NOT! It’s easy to romanticize and believe that it is, but the thing is, their treatment of others is a direct reflection of who they are and you are not exempt from experiencing this.
Join me as I share more on this topic and provide actionable steps you can take to untie and end relationships that are out of integrity with your values.
Podcasts are one of the fasting growing mediums for reaching an ideal audience – an audience that’s really listening. So when it comes to ads, you can rest assured they’re not tuning out the noise like they do when radio commercials come on. 
If you’re a solopreneur and/or small business owner who needs help amplifying your message and reaching the masses, we’re accepting podcast ad applications!

Romanticizing Relationships Takeaways 
“When people show you who they are, believe them.” – Maya Angelou
Every time I have veered off the path from my core values, I have suffered. – Patrice Washington
Know that how you show up behind closed doors – when no one else can see or hear you – that’s the true you. – Patrice Washington
Move forward with a quiet confidence because insecurity is so loud. – Patrice Washington
People matter and the minute you stop acting like they do, you threaten your own chance of having the wealth and life you desire. – Patrice Washington
Treat people well, operate in integrity, preserve your relationships and when a season is up, untie. – Patrice Washington
Do you have any relationships you need to untie and walk away from before the end of the decade? If you do, now is the time to untie them and move on.

Tela Holcomb: Stocks Made Simple

How much do you REALLY know about investing in the stock market? Honestly, do your eyes glaze over as you hear words like valuation, dividend, index fund and margin?
Listen, I know the stock market can be overwhelming, even for those who know the basics, so that’s why I’ve invited Tela Holcomb, creator of Trade Your 9-to-5™, to put stocks and investments into plain English.
After Tela’s corporate career ended abruptly in 2012, it forced her to use the stock market knowledge she had to make a living – and boy did she. By 2013, just eight months after being fired from her good-paying job, she’d doubled her retirement account and found the key to financial freedom in the stock market.
In today’s episode, Tela shares her top investing tips. We discuss the difference between investing and trading, what an average day looks like for her and how she’s using her stock market knowledge to help others achieve financial freedom and leave their 9-to-5.
Remember, you or someone you know can showcase their product or service on the podcast! Podcasts are one of the fasting growing mediums for reaching your ideal audience. An audience that’s really listening – not tuning out the noise like they do when radio commercials come on. If you’re a solopreneur and/or small business owner who needs help amplifying your message and reaching the masses, we're accepting podcast applications!

Trade Your 9-to-5™ Takeaways
Financial “gurus” use complicated language to convince people they can’t figure out the stock market on their own. – Tela Holcomb
Hiring someone to help manage your investments is okay, but relying on them to do all your homework is not. – Tela Holcomb
Trading is like dating – you can mix it up as often as you want, but if you want the reliability of marriage, then investing is what you’re after. – Tela Holcomb
I need a stock to show me it’s worth my time and money before I bring it home with me. – Tela Holcomb
I practiced investing for eight months BEFORE I put real money into the market. – Tela Holcomb
Don’t believe the hype … you do NOT need a lot of money to start investing in the stock market. – Tela Holcomb
Investing is something that can feed you for a lifetime, so it’s worth putting in the time and effort to get it right. – Tela Holcomb

Jason Vitug: You Only Live Once

Are you living your best life? Sadly, most people aren’t because they’re in a constant cycle of overconsumption and indebtedness, and mindlessly spending on things that don’t add value to their life or purpose. Today’s guest was once in that exact spot. 
Jason Vitug, author of You Only Live Once, remembers how the path to success was drilled into him growing up. It’s the same path we’re all told to follow – graduate high school, go to college, get a job, get a car, get a promotion, buy a house – pretty standard, and oftentimes simply achieving these things doesn’t make us happy. For Jason, he started on this path and then began to question it, asking, “When do I actually become happy?” 
It’s this realization coupled with the concept of YOLO in reverse that became the topic for his book. In You Only Live Once, Jason applies YOLO to personal finance and discovers it’s not about instant gratification, but rather about long-term satisfaction.
Listen in and learn how you can shift your money mindset and experience YOLO today and for years to come.

You Only Live Once Takeaways
I was income stable, but still financially inept. – Jason Vitug
You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough. – Mae West
NO should stand for New Opportunity because the moment you say NO to something, you open yourself up to something greater. – Jason Vitug
Money isn’t everything, but money permeates every aspect of our life. – Jason Vitug
If we don’t tell our money where to go, then we’ll always wonder where it went. – Jason Vitug
Money is a tool. But as with any tool, if we lack the skill to use it, it won’t benefit us much.
If you purchase a TV for $600 and you make $10/hour, that TV now represents 60 hours of your life. Think about that. – Jason Vitug

Connie Hill Johnson: Prepare for the Role Reversal

What does your parents’ health have to do with Redefining Wealth? Well, more than you might think. You see, if you’re like many of us in the “sandwich generation” – the place where you’re raising children while also caring for your parents – then you know your parents’ health can affect your lifestyle and financial independence just as much as it does theirs.
Now, this has been something I’ve experienced myself, and it’s something Connie Hill Johnson, owner of a Visiting Angles franchise in Cleveland, Ohio, witnesses on a day-to-day basis. As you might imagine, she gets a front-row seat to the challenges senior citizens face and the struggles their caretakers and families battle with when things like long-term care, power of attorney and last rites aren’t discussed or prepared for in advance. 
Tune in as Connie shares critical steps in preparing for your parents’ future care. We cover everything from how to start the role reversal conversation to getting your siblings on the same page. We also talk about preparing your finances so caring for your parents doesn’t end up being a burden. Connie also shares several eye-opening ways to have the conversation (even when your parents don’t want to talk).
This episode is brought to you by Purpose 2 Platform, a 20-week business accelerator and mentorship program that will get you clear on HOW to package your PURPOSE, communicate your PROMISE to your ideal audience, choose the best PLATFORM for your personality and lifestyle and create a PREMIUM offer.

Role Reversal Takeaways
Don’t just ask who’s going to make the potato salad this holiday. Talk about the who and how of caring for your aging parents.
Sit down with your parents and siblings and have the conversation when all is well BEFORE a crisis hits. – Connie Hill Johnson
We’re all going to grow old whether we like or not so we may as well talk about it. – Connie Hill Johnson
If your parents don’t want to have the conversation, don’t take it personally. They simply may be uncomfortable talking about their mortality. – Connie Hill Johnson
In our society, growing old isn’t , but it’s life. – Connie Hill Johnson
Make no assumptions. Ask questions. – Connie Hill Johnson
Family dynamics matter when it comes to this whole role reversal journey. – Connie Hill Johnson
Do your parents have vital documents about their healthcare already prepared? Ask the right questions and offer to help them through the process if they don’t know where to start. Listen, having this discussion is hard, but it gets much easier when you have Connie’s Role Reversal Guide as a resource. Get it here: http://www.conniehilljohnson.com/role-reversal/.
Now, Connie and I would love to know your biggest takeaways from this episode. Have you already started talking to your parents about their wishes and future needs? Let us know.

Spiritual Malnutrition: Are You Choosing to Starve?

What are you feeding your spirit? Seriously, what are we putting into our bodies that’s positioning us to actually get what we say we want? The Holy Spirit placed so many lessons on my heart as I was locked away in a hotel room, snacking and working on my next book. It was like a blaring alarm went off, and at that moment, I realized I wasn’t just snacking physically. I was snacking spiritually, too. 
You see, I’d do some drive-by faith by getting in a devotional here or there. Vibe to some gospel music at the gym or drop a “preach, sis, preach” on a faith-based meme on social media, all the while convincing myself it was enough. But the truth is, I was snacking. And if snacking alone is not enough to nourish our bodies, how is it ever enough to feed our spirits? It’s not.
I want you to know spiritual malnutrition is a serious condition that will leave you ready to pop off over insignificant things and incapable of living in the fullness of what you’re asking for, among other things. That’s why we must choose to make time to nourish our spirits on a daily basis.
Now, have you ever thought to yourself, “I just need more hours in the day?” I know I have, so when I meet women with full lives and full plates who seem to do SO MUCH with joy, peace, style, grace and ease, I'm always quick to ask them the secret.
When I met, Tina Black, a Paul Mitchell school owner, salon owner, author, podcaster, wife and mother how she does it all, she reminded me, “It's not about time management, it's about priority management.”
Tina doesn't believe in letting life just happen, she believes in planning. She created BE A PLANNER to help us all get ready for our best decade ever!
Be a Planner teaches you how to plan your quarter, month, week and day down to a tee. It helps you think through what you should be doing versus what you should be delegating.
Success Leaves Clues, Purpose Chasers, and for just $30 for a year-long planner, I'm willing to see how much of what has helped Tina create her amazing success can be applied to my life for sure.
To pick up your copy of “Be A Planner,” head to TinaBlack.net/SHOP. And let’s plan our way into a purposeful 2020 and beyond.
Nourishing your spirit surely deserves a bullet on your daily to-do list just as much as the other things in your life, so plan it into your day. 
Spiritual Takeaways
You can’t outwork a bad spiritual diet.
There’s no need in wishing, hoping and praying for things you’re not spiritually strong enough to accept, embrace, hold, maintain and sustain. 
Faith is about believing in something greater, so if you say you believe in something, then you must make time to practice it.
Don’t get so far it this wealth-building, business-building, brand-building and people-pleasing that now you think you can snack your way to spiritual victory.
Spirituality is not a one-size-fits-forever thing. What you feed your spirit today may not be enough to nourish the vision that God has for you tomorrow.
