Redefining Wealth with Patrice Washington

Lori Harder: You Need a Tribe

There’s one thing you’ve heard me say again and again: you can’t do it alone. It’s true, but creating the tribe you actually need to build is more complicated than you might realize.
First of all, make sure people earn the right to be in your tribe. No one gets a free pass and just because you like someone, doesn’t necessarily mean they belong in your tribe.
They need to be adding value to you and your purpose in some form or fashion.
That doesn’t mean you are using people. In fact, it’s the exact opposite. A tribe doesn’t all work for one, they work together to ensure that everyone benefits. If people feel like they aren’t getting as much as they are giving, they won’t want to be part of the tribe.
And to make sure they are feeling as much fulfillment, here’s the key ingredient: communication. Make sure that you are clear about everything with everyone in your tribe. Don’t assume they know what you are thinking, what you want or what you like because they don’t. Likewise, if you don’t know what they are thinking, ask them.
Recently, I read an amazing book on the subject: A Tribe Called Bliss by Lori Harder.
Lori and I spent some time together discussing so much about this topic, and we were even on each other’s podcast. So, as soon as you finish my show, go listen to hers because what we discuss there is just as powerful and about something completely different.
If you don’t know Lori, she is a leading expert in the field of fitness, transformational work, mindfulness, and self-love. She has grown two multi-million dollar businesses as a successful entrepreneur and network marketing professional.
She is also an author, cover model, and three-time fitness world champion, who offers a carefully curated set of practical tools to promote sustainable health, spiritual well-being, and financial freedom.
Through her books, unique coaching methods, and programs, she has helped countless people connect with their soul, transform their bodies, empower their minds, gain financial independence, and fall in love with themselves and their lives.
Throughout her career, Lori has regularly appeared on the covers of and published articles for Oxygen Magazine, STRONG Fitness Magazine, Health & Fitness Magazine and Prosper Magazine. She has also been featured on NBC, Fox, and TLC networks.

Vernon Ross: Answer the Call

There’s one thing you can’t be afraid to do in this world: ask for help.
Many times that’s what holds us back. We dream about achieving greater things, but we have no idea how to get there.
The secret is to keep moving and ask questions along the way. Just by moving you’ll get further than most people. The average person will just stay in one spot.
Progress can only be made through trial and error, so get out there and work at it. As you go, you’ll find people along the way who can give you advice, and help you grow in the direction you want to go.
This podcast is the perfect example of this. Most people would be too intimidated by the choices in recording equipment, or trying to find out what an RSS feed is. If I acted like a “normal” person I’d give up before I even started.
Instead, I made this show happen in three weeks. I learned everything I could, reached out to everyone who seemed like they’d help. I even went to a podcast convention called Podcast Movement to connect with engineers, who are now helping me make this show.
Since that two week push I’ve released 50 episodes, built a large audience (which I’m grateful for) and now I’m scheduled to speak at that same convention later this week.
None of it would have happened if I just sat there dreaming or feeling overwhelmed.
And to be honest, I couldn’t have made this show happen if it wasn’t for a big help from Vernon Ross. I know I’ve mentioned him on this show so many times before, but I felt I needed to bring him on so you all can learn from him as well.
On this episode of Redefining Wealth, Vernon was kind enough to share his insights on building an audience and how you can really build a platform that best fits you.

The Blessing of Downsizing

One of the hardest things you can do in life is let go. No matter what it is, people or things, it can be a challenge to get it out of your life.
If you want to grow, however, you need to cut out what isn’t working. That’s why we prune trees, so that they can grow bigger and healthier than ever before.
Cutting away the dead branches low on a tree that doesn’t get sunlight anymore, allows the tree to use its energy to maximize its efforts.
That’s exactly what you need to do. Constantly re-evaluate what you have in your life. Our dreams and visions shift all the time, and think about if the things you accumulated are really helping your new vision or not.
And it’s not just people or items that may be holding you back from growth. It might even be your mindset.
Think about how you look at things, maybe it was even a mindset your parents taught you about the world. Is it really serving you, or should you start looking at things differently?
On this episode of Redefining Wealth I wanted to take a moment and share with you the transition I have been going through in my life.
I decided it was time to cut back in life so that I, and my family, can grow even larger than ever before.
We’ve been detoxing our lives, and I even had my husband come on to share his experiences throughout the process.
So download this episode today and learn what we all need to evaluate and trim out of our lives.

Brittney Castro: When Life Happens

One of the most overlooked things from people is a savings. People think they’ll always be able to work, but in reality you never know what can happen.
Even if you eat the perfect diet, exercise everyday, and really take care of your body things can (and will) still go wrong.
Let’s face it, if something happens like you get hit by a car wouldn’t you rather have the option to rest and recover than not?
And a savings isn’t just there for a rainy day. You may need it in order to get in on that dream investment opportunity, or to be able to (finally) start working for yourself instead of someone else.
The point is, life happens. You never know what’s happening tomorrow: but you have to be ready for whatever God is going to throw at you next.
To go more into this I brought on a very special guest, who went through one of the most traumatic life changing events you can image: Brittney Castro.
Brittney is the founder and CEO of Financially Wise Women, a Los Angeles-based financial planning firm whose mission is to teach women and couples the art of managing their money the fun and simple way.
As a Certified Financial Planner™, Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor, Accredited Asset Management Specialist, entrepreneur and speaker, Brittney works with busy professional women and couples who are ready to make their finances work for them and use their money to live the lives of their dreams.
After years of working in the male-dominated world of financial planning, Brittney realized she wanted to work with clients the same way she talks about money with her girlfriends–in a smart, personal, feminine way that’s compassionate, fun and nonjudgmental.
Brittney has become a well-known financial expert and a go-to resource for national media outlets.
She’s been featured on CNN, CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, CBS, KTLA, Fox 11 News, Glamour, Elle, Marie Claire, Darling, Entrepreneur, Woman’s World, Financial Planning, Investment News, Registered Rep magazine and many more.
She’s also a coveted speaker and host, and she loves spreading her wisdom about finance, entrepreneurship and smart investing to the masses.

Andromeda Raheem: The Anatomy of a Winner

I don’t know about you, but in my life I’ve had people I loved and believed were on my side betray me - especially women.
It’s made me want to avoid women all together and keep to myself. But the truth is, we can’t do that.
We can’t let a few bad apples spoil the whole bunch because in the long run, it’s only going to hurt us even more.
No matter how great you are, if you exist on an island by yourself, you can only get so far. Being great requires connection with others.
You need to find the support of those in your community, and more importantly you need to offer the same support you want to receive from others.
Be the light everyone else wants to be around.
It’s too easy to discredit, nit pick, point out flaws and cut other people down. It takes wisdom and maturity to not allow yourself to stoop to being that person no matter what you’ve experienced.
Instead choose to offer grace and forgiveness to people who may never acknowledge their wrongdoing. It’ll only free you and help you become better, as well as, force others to respect you even more.
To dive deeper into this, I wanted to bring you the author of, She Wins, Andromeda Raheem.
After experiencing years of negative interactions with women, Andromeda made the choice to turn her pain into power and do her part to empower and unite women. While working a government accounting job, Andromeda started a blog to share her stories of betrayal, loss of friendships, and lack of support from other women. At the time, it was simply a passion project and she had no idea that she was putting herself on a path to become the founder of a global network that promotes support and sisterhood among women.
She took this message to social media and began encouraging women to collaborate instead of compete, make themselves accountable for their own happiness and success, and be confident in themselves.

”Lucky” Is An Insult

“Thinking people are luckier than you will make you doubt your own journey.”
I was up at 2 am to record this episode because I felt a strong tug that this needed to be addressed.
I’ve noticed a mindset from some in my audience I wanted to speak to today in the hopes that we can have an honest conversation and create a powerful shift. I’m not here to scold anyone, or attack anyone. I just want to help you overcome a challenge you may not even realize you are having.
A lot of people fall into a victim mentality because they use a word they think is harmless: luck.
When you look at someone’s accomplishments, you might consider them lucky. They were lucky they got that TV deal, they were lucky to have those friends, lucky to get the job.
What you see is the final polished result. You don’t see all of the hard work, or even years of effort that comes into their success.
The definition of luck is: Success or failure, apparently brought by chance rather than through one’s own actions.
So when you say someone is lucky, you are saying they didn’t do anything to get where they are. That’s a bit insulting, don’t you think? How would you feel if someone said you don’t really deserve whatever measure of success or happiness you currently enjoy?
Not only that, but it put you in the mindset that you have to be lucky to get anywhere. That your dreams will just fall out of the sky, and if they don’t it wasn’t meant to be.
It encourages being lazy. It encourages you to not take action.
The truth is, you need to do the exact opposite. You can’t count on simply being lucky, because no one is lucky.
If you try to count on luck to be a success, you’re just going to waste away the God-given gifts you’re supposed to be exploring and unpacking as apart of your unique journey.
This is such a passionate topic for me, so I decided to devote an entire episode to it and I hope you enjoy!
Download this episode now, and learn how you stop waiting for luck and start creating your own success.
“Stop judging other people’s purchases by your paycheck.”
The Cliff Notes:
Make sure your space is peaceful and energizes you.
Your space will set the tone and mood of your day.
A bad mindset can keep you trapped.
Have a supportive mindset and you’ll create relationships that matter.
Don’t make other people feel bad about their pricing, it gives you something to aspire to.
Avoid the word “lucky”.
There’s often a lot more work put into something than you see.
Know the value of what you’ve done, and who you have become.
Be committed to your vision, not to how you get there.
Comparing yourself to others will make you bitter and stagnant.
The success of a marriage is not luck.
Stay in a state of preparation to obtain what you really want.
What does someone else’s luck have to do with you?
Focus on your belief in yourself as opposed to other people.
Not everyone needs to love you for you to be successful.
Get out of the “woe is me” spirit.
“Nothing good can come from a root of bitterness.”

Kelly Cardenas: Living By the ”98/2 Rule”

“You can choose what type of day you will have, and I choose to have an outstanding one every day.” - Kelly Cardenas
How many people have you known in the world that were really smart, had so many degrees and certificates, but were broke and unsuccessful?
That’s because knowledge isn’t everything.
Sure, an education can be helpful, but without a strong purpose there’s no point. People who are just dumb enough to believe in the impossible, will always go further than those who over analyze.
If you take the time to trust in God, and really focus on the “why” in your life then the “how” will be shown to you.
You’ve heard me talk about the importance of surrendering before, but there’s more to it than just saying “I surrender”.
You need to put your hands up, give God permission to search your heart and then listen for how He directs your path.  
How do we know if you truly have surrendered?
We see it in our attitude and our ways of being in good times and bad.
To go more into the power of attitude and surrendering, I brought on a very special guest: Kelly Cardenas.
In fact, his message was so powerful I actually bumped up the release of this episode because I know you needed to hear it.
Kelly Cardenas is taking it upon himself and his team to give the hair industry a complete makeover.
From his work in his salons to his ever expanding educational work both in the US and overseas, he is infusing the industry with excitement and professionalism. His recent expeditions to Chicago, Nashville, San Diego, and Germany have the top industry professionals buzzing about the mark Kelly Cardenas is making on industry.
Kelly’s rock-star status has definitely culminated over the past few years since opening his flagship salon in Las Vegas. With his sights set on opening another 100+ salons in the next 10 years, his legions of fans including John Paul Dejoria, owner of Paul Mitchell, are incredibly excited.
Kelly sees the industry as his blank canvas and the industry professionals are excited for the masterpiece he’ll create.

“We have too many people who put on their smart pants and pass up the wisdom that God could give them.”  - Kelly Cardenas
The Cliff Notes:
Success is 98% attitude 2% aptitude.
Many people have knowledge, but not wisdom.
You need to know what to do with the knowledge you obtain.
If you ever wanted something and didn’t get it, that means you didn’t really want it.
You will buy what you need, but you will kill for what you want.
Become a want in every person’s life that you enter.
You need a big enough why that you stay committed to.
Your financial issues are a result of not knowing your true purpose.
Purpose is what sets your priorities.
Find your vibe manipulator to help you get through your day.
All you need is to bring value and have impact.
You can’t control the how, so don’t focus on that.
Take the back seat when Jesus takes the wheel of life.
If you’ve been incarcerated, you have the DNA to be successful at anything.
Money is important, but it’s not everything.
“When you focus on the why, the what will inevitably be yours.”  - Kelly Cardenas

Tim Storey: Resilience is Your Birthright

“Just because you’re in a drama, that doesn’t mean you have to be dramatic.” - Tim Storey
I wanted to mix things up this week. I feel like I tend to cater to the women in business (I wonder why :) ). Given that this weekend is Father’s Day, I’m going to dive into some topics that will help the men listening. And women, be sure to share this with any man you care about in your life.
In today’s society, men are forgetting how to “man up” and take responsibility in the midst of life’s turmoil. The world is changing constantly, and it’s easy to feel like our world has been flipped upside down, but we don’t get to sit in that.
Instead of giving up, and falling into a victim mentality, it’s time to find the power. Understand things aren’t happening to you, they are happening for you.
It’s time for you to make a comeback and that doesn’t mean a go back.
It’s hard, but we always need to move forward, learn from all of our experiences and realize we are a stronger person because of them.
To dive further into this, I was finally able to bring you a very special guest that’s nearly impossible to nail down: Tim Storey.
Tim is always on the move, in fact he’s been to over 75 countries and often meets privately and counsels high-profile leaders in various industries.
He is an acclaimed author, speaker, life coach and my personal friend. Tim Storey is well known for inspiring and motivating people of all walks of life, from entertainment to executives, celebrities and athletes, to adults and children in the most deprived neighborhoods in the country.
Download this episode of Redefining Wealth to learn how you can make your comeback.
“A comeback is not a goback.” - Tim Storey
The Cliff Notes:
Men need to man up and take responsibility for their lives even in the pain of the drama.
Problems are part of the process.
You can work out your problems with dignity.
Sometimes religion can make you live in the guilt and shame of your past.
You don’t have to be a religious person to be in relationship.
You don’t have to look far for how you should be.
A pioneer makes a way where there was no way before.
Everyone is currently going through recovery and discovery.
The word “behold” means look up and pay attention.
Things don’t happen to you, they happen for you.
When you’re feeling good, you go plural.
When you aren’t feeling good, you go singular.
Money, when used the right way, gives you leverage.
“I don’t chase dreams, I cooperate with what heaven has already said.” - Tim Storey
