Kalee Boisvert:

Welcome to the wealth and wellness podcast with

Kalee Boisvert:

me Kaylie Bob air, I specialize in helping people to achieve

Kalee Boisvert:

their financial goals. I have a love for all things numbers, and

Kalee Boisvert:

I'm passionate about financial literacy. My goal is to spark

Kalee Boisvert:

healthy and positive conversations around wealth and

Kalee Boisvert:

investment, and create a world where nobody is limited by their

Kalee Boisvert:

financial situation. But wealth is just one piece of the

Kalee Boisvert:

equation of living our best lives. So join me as we explore

Kalee Boisvert:

both wealth and wellness topics. From your net worth, to your

Kalee Boisvert:

self worth, get ready to take confident action.

Kalee Boisvert:

Hello, this is Kaylee. And I want to thank you for taking the

Kalee Boisvert:

time to listen to this episode of the wealth and wellness

Kalee Boisvert:

Podcast. I'm sticking to a wealth topic today and getting

Kalee Boisvert:

really wealthy by chatting about what wealthy people know. Now,

Kalee Boisvert:

the definition of wealthy I think is very subjective. And

Kalee Boisvert:

what wealthy means will look different for everyone. So for

Kalee Boisvert:

some, it might be living a certain lifestyle where, you

Kalee Boisvert:

know, you can afford a lot of different things. Others might

Kalee Boisvert:

see it as having flexibility and freedom. And others might put $1

Kalee Boisvert:

amount, such as having, you know, a million dollars or

Kalee Boisvert:

multiple millions dollars. And that is completely fine.

Kalee Boisvert:

Whatever your definition of wealthy looks like. That's

Kalee Boisvert:

great. And I'm hoping to really, you know, in this episode, think

Kalee Boisvert:

of me talking about it in that broad sense, and really covering

Kalee Boisvert:

all those bases of wealthy so whether it be freedom,

Kalee Boisvert:

flexibility or money in the bank, you know, it's it's all

Kalee Boisvert:

wealth, it's all wealthy. And that's what we're chatting about

Kalee Boisvert:

today. Okay, so, as a financial professional, I have the

Kalee Boisvert:

opportunity to work with financially successful people,

Kalee Boisvert:

everyday people on track to achieving their goals, and those

Kalee Boisvert:

who have actually reached their goals and are now living in

Kalee Boisvert:

retirement or their financial freedom years, I think it's

Kalee Boisvert:

important for me to share some of the behaviors and actions

Kalee Boisvert:

that stand out most for just how these people have built their

Kalee Boisvert:

wealth. I of course, don't plan on sharing any personal details,

Kalee Boisvert:

but more so the how, like, how they got there, how they

Kalee Boisvert:

achieved it, or how they're achieving it right now, because

Kalee Boisvert:

ultimately, I want you to be wealthy too. Okay, so let's all

Kalee Boisvert:

be wealthy. So first, I want to start off by throwing out

Kalee Boisvert:

limiting beliefs about wealth, and your ability to be wealthy.

Kalee Boisvert:

So being bad with money, it's not a personality trait. It's

Kalee Boisvert:

not a character flaw you're born with. Anyone can build wealth.

Kalee Boisvert:

Building Wealth is not based on a special skill that only

Kalee Boisvert:

certain people are born with. So anyone, I repeat, anyone can

Kalee Boisvert:

build large amounts of wealth and be wealthy. And that's one

Kalee Boisvert:

of the things I love so much about, well, wealth and money is

Kalee Boisvert:

that it isn't something we're born with, or that we have to be

Kalee Boisvert:

born into. If we're, you know, destined to have it or not, with

Kalee Boisvert:

diligent savings and ongoing investing, anyone can anyone can

Kalee Boisvert:

achieve their financial goals. I work with people who are

Kalee Boisvert:

millionaires, but in their working years, they never earned

Kalee Boisvert:

six figure salaries. So to me, that's that proof that anyone

Kalee Boisvert:

can be wealthy. Of course, they had diligent behavior and saving

Kalee Boisvert:

strategies. But it's that reminder, oftentimes people

Kalee Boisvert:

think, you know, to have a lot of wealth to be wealthy, it's,

Kalee Boisvert:

you know, we need to be the next Elon Musk and have this

Kalee Boisvert:

brilliant idea and be an entrepreneur and all those

Kalee Boisvert:

things. And I think that example of, you know, these clients that

Kalee Boisvert:

again, they just earned their incomes throughout their working

Kalee Boisvert:

years, they were diligent about putting money away, investing on

Kalee Boisvert:

an ongoing basis, and they achieved millionaire status. So

Kalee Boisvert:

it really is achievable. And it doesn't have to be in those, you

Kalee Boisvert:

know, stereotypical ways are where our minds go to, will have

Kalee Boisvert:

to be something really big, and I have to make a lot of money.

Kalee Boisvert:

And then, you know, with those beliefs, being very limiting

Kalee Boisvert:

beliefs, because then feeling that that's overwhelming feeling

Kalee Boisvert:

that that's maybe not feasible for you and where you're at in

Kalee Boisvert:

your life, and then, you know, that doesn't at all lead in a

Kalee Boisvert:

positive direction. So let's get rid of those limiting beliefs.

Kalee Boisvert:

And let's talk about what wealthy people know. So, first

Kalee Boisvert:

off, wealthy people are mindful about their money. They have an

Kalee Boisvert:

awareness of what comes in and what goes out and they know that

Kalee Boisvert:

in order to build wealth, what comes in so income is what as

Kalee Boisvert:

far as what's coming in has to exceed expenses. If you are

Kalee Boisvert:

spending more than you earn, or the same as what you earn each

Kalee Boisvert:

month or a year, you can not build wealth. building wealth

Kalee Boisvert:

comes from saving your money, you have to keep some of it for

Kalee Boisvert:

you, that idea of paying yourself first, it's pretty

Kalee Boisvert:

simple math, the more you save, the faster you will be able to

Kalee Boisvert:

build your wealth, I can tell you that wealthy people are

Kalee Boisvert:

mindful of income and expenses. I think that's also sort of a

Kalee Boisvert:

misnomer, or, you know, a belief that people have is that when

Kalee Boisvert:

you're really wealthy or wealthy people, they are not even, they

Kalee Boisvert:

don't know what they even expend, and what comes in and

Kalee Boisvert:

all that. But I can tell you that from the financially

Kalee Boisvert:

successful people I work with, they absolutely are mindful of

Kalee Boisvert:

money coming in and money going out, they have a good

Kalee Boisvert:

understanding of how much comes in each month and what goes out.

Kalee Boisvert:

And they make savings a priority. So the even at this

Kalee Boisvert:

sacrifice of other things. So there, you know, there are

Kalee Boisvert:

people that are saying, Actually, I can't go and do

Kalee Boisvert:

that, actually, I can't buy this, you know, this fancy

Kalee Boisvert:

purse, I saw that store these great shoes or something like

Kalee Boisvert:

that, it's just, it's not a good time, I don't have the money

Kalee Boisvert:

saved or you know, my money is going to savings and with what's

Kalee Boisvert:

going to savings and what I spend, there's not anything

Kalee Boisvert:

leftover or what I'm willing to, you know, spare for that. So

Kalee Boisvert:

it's that they do make sacrifices, these people that

Kalee Boisvert:

have built me built massive amounts of wealth are on their

Kalee Boisvert:

way to building wealth, I can tell you that they do have to

Kalee Boisvert:

make sacrifices, so that is true for them as well. Okay, so

Kalee Boisvert:

another thing that wealthy people know and understand is

Kalee Boisvert:

that building wealth takes patience, patience, patience,

Kalee Boisvert:

patience, and more patience. So building wealth is a game of

Kalee Boisvert:

extreme, I can't stress this enough, extreme patience, the

Kalee Boisvert:

major factor to growing your money is through the power of

Kalee Boisvert:

compounding. And although it's quite magical to see compounding

Kalee Boisvert:

in action, when I use my you know, financial calculator, or

Kalee Boisvert:

use the planning software, and you know, getting to see what

Kalee Boisvert:

those numbers actually become and what they can be. It's,

Kalee Boisvert:

it's, it's amazing. It's crazy to see those and it's fabulous.

Kalee Boisvert:

But the actual act of seeing compounding inaction, year by

Kalee Boisvert:

year or day by day, month by month, it is very, very slow. So

Kalee Boisvert:

you have to be patient, when it comes to growing your wealth. In

Kalee Boisvert:

the early years of savings, it might seem like it really isn't

Kalee Boisvert:

working or nothing much is happening. But if you can

Kalee Boisvert:

maintain extreme patience, it will pay off. I'm telling you,

Kalee Boisvert:

it does, I see it happening, I see the results. But again, it

Kalee Boisvert:

is extreme patience. So I want to give you an example. So you

Kalee Boisvert:

don't have to keep hearing me say the word patience over and

Kalee Boisvert:

over again. So imagine saving 500 per month, growing at a 10%

Kalee Boisvert:

annualized growth rate. So 10% per year, 500 per month you're

Kalee Boisvert:

saving after year one, you have $6,282. Again, that's the boring

Kalee Boisvert:

part. That's the part where you look at and go well doesn't

Kalee Boisvert:

really seem like it's working or that anything much is happening.

Kalee Boisvert:

I put in a total of $6,000 over the past year. And now I have

Kalee Boisvert:

6200 6282. So I made $282 Doesn't seem like a heck of a

Kalee Boisvert:

lot. How is that going to get me to, you know, wealthy? Well,

Kalee Boisvert:

here's sort of the snowball effect of compounding, after

Kalee Boisvert:

five years, that $500 a month has now grown to $38,700. So

Kalee Boisvert:

again, you might look at that number still five years in and

Kalee Boisvert:

go so huge. It's not you know, it's not it's not enough to

Kalee Boisvert:

retire off of. But then after 10 years, that $500 a month has

Kalee Boisvert:

grown to $102,000. So again, getting bigger, you know, the

Kalee Boisvert:

Snowball is rolling gathering, I guess no. And yet a lot larger

Kalee Boisvert:

after 20 years. So after 10 years, 102,020 years 379,000. So

Kalee Boisvert:

okay, this is looking good. But again, this is 20 years in and

Kalee Boisvert:

then after 30 years, so 30 years, we've hit over a million

Kalee Boisvert:

dollars, it's 1,130,000. So that's really your like the The

Kalee Boisvert:

compounding and the magic numbers 30 years in, though, and

Kalee Boisvert:

it's over a million dollars from putting 500 a month away. So

Kalee Boisvert:

over the 30 years, you only contributed about 180,000 Is

Kalee Boisvert:

what you put away. So, in compounding growth, you've made

Kalee Boisvert:

almost a million dollars in 30 years. So almost a million

Kalee Boisvert:

dollars had come from just the growth and compounding, but it

Kalee Boisvert:

took 30 years. And a really good example of this is from a book

Kalee Boisvert:

I'm reading, it's called the psychology of money. fabulous

Kalee Boisvert:

book I recommend absolutely everyone needs to read this

Kalee Boisvert:

book. But he gives an example. Hopefully I get explained it

Kalee Boisvert:

right with Warren Buffett. So obviously, we're all familiar

Kalee Boisvert:

with Warren Buffett, he's a very successful investor. And he is

Kalee Boisvert:

at a point where his net worth is in the billions. So it's, you

Kalee Boisvert:

know, 80 billion or something like that, let's say, okay, but

Kalee Boisvert:

in his example, and with compounding, he says, If Warren

Kalee Boisvert:

Buffett were to have actually retired and just stopped at the

Kalee Boisvert:

age of 60. So we all know Warren Buffett is getting up there in

Kalee Boisvert:

age, he's been around, you know, investing game for a long time

Kalee Boisvert:

and good on him, and he's still going strong. But

Kalee Boisvert:

if he were to have stopped and said, Okay, it's 60, I'm going

Kalee Boisvert:

to stop, I'm going to play golf, I'm going to enjoy life. Now, he

Kalee Boisvert:

would have only had something around like I think in the book,

Kalee Boisvert:

he says, like 12 million or something like that. So the

Kalee Boisvert:

majority of Warren Buffett's wealth was amassed, sort of

Kalee Boisvert:

beyond his 60s Like, and that again, goes to show for the

Kalee Boisvert:

compound, he started investing early, he was a very early

Kalee Boisvert:

investor. He talks about buying his first stock when he was like

Kalee Boisvert:

13 years old. But so leading up to that, yes, he did great and

Kalee Boisvert:

got to the multiple millions by the age of 60. But the magic

Kalee Boisvert:

really happened beyond that, because again, we're talking

Kalee Boisvert:

compounding, you know, 6070 years, and these later years

Kalee Boisvert:

were really gathers strength. So I'm not saying you have to be

Kalee Boisvert:

Warren Buffett, and never stop working and keep invest in till

Kalee Boisvert:

you know, late 80s. And in your 90s. And, but it is how

Kalee Boisvert:

compounding is going to really grow, grow, grow. So again, it

Kalee Boisvert:

says patience. And that's something he has displayed so

Kalee Boisvert:

well with his investing. It says in the book, he's not, he's not

Kalee Boisvert:

the greatest investor in terms of returns. But he's patient,

Kalee Boisvert:

he's diligent, and that is really what comes out with his

Kalee Boisvert:

behavior, and what he's been able to achieve as a result of

Kalee Boisvert:

that patience. So the long game, it's the long game that wins and

Kalee Boisvert:

wealthy people think in terms of years and decades, not months.

Kalee Boisvert:

So I think this is such a great reminder for investors, when

Kalee Boisvert:

we're watching the markets day to day and it's, you know, it's

Kalee Boisvert:

up and then it's down, and it's up and, and you don't you know,

Kalee Boisvert:

know which way to go and what's gonna happen next, and it's

Kalee Boisvert:

stressful. But if you can take a step back and say, No, I'm

Kalee Boisvert:

looking at, you know, the 20 years, the 30 years, 30 years

Kalee Boisvert:

plus, like, that's the magic happening. So what it does day

Kalee Boisvert:

to day, it's really not as important as what it's going to

Kalee Boisvert:

do over those longer term periods. So getting our head to

Kalee Boisvert:

that very long term. And it's really difficult to do, but

Kalee Boisvert:

hopefully, those examples helped really illustrate the patients,

Kalee Boisvert:

patients, patients patients, had to stick it in there a few more

Kalee Boisvert:

times. Another thing that wealthy people know is that

Kalee Boisvert:

there are no shortcuts to building wealth.

Kalee Boisvert:

So you might want to argue with me and say that's not true. But

Kalee Boisvert:

I feel like we should just say there are no shortcuts just, you

Kalee Boisvert:

know, throw out the thought that you're going to find some quick

Kalee Boisvert:

shortcut. Yes, there might be some lucky moments, and maybe

Kalee Boisvert:

you win a lottery. That's great. But that is a very low

Kalee Boisvert:

probability event of happening, although I wish anyone out there

Kalee Boisvert:

well as they try to win the lottery, and I wish everyone

Kalee Boisvert:

could win the lottery. But let's stick to this rule. There are no

Kalee Boisvert:

shortcuts, trying to massively beat the markets or find the

Kalee Boisvert:

next get rich money making opportunity. It might leave you

Kalee Boisvert:

looking and chasing forever, and it could result in you actually

Kalee Boisvert:

losing money from taking on some really high risk. That's the

Kalee Boisvert:

truth is most investors actually don't beat the market. And for

Kalee Boisvert:

those who are willing to accept that there are plenty of

Kalee Boisvert:

solutions that are great long term investment opportunities.

Kalee Boisvert:

Some examples of these could be in the form of ETFs or exchange

Kalee Boisvert:

traded funds, or mutual funds. So this acceptance of this also

Kalee Boisvert:

means that we're investing with a long term approach. We wealthy

Kalee Boisvert:

people know that they don't have to be investing geniuses, you do

Kalee Boisvert:

not have to be the next mathematician or know everything

Kalee Boisvert:

about investing to be wealthy and to win in the investment

Kalee Boisvert:

game. I think in that book, again, he said something like,

Kalee Boisvert:

you know, successful investors that have made money had a

Kalee Boisvert:

success rate of their sort of wins and losses of something

Kalee Boisvert:

like 60%. So it's not, it's not a really high, you know, batting

Kalee Boisvert:

average or percentage, but they've still made money off of

Kalee Boisvert:

that. So you don't have to be this investing genius. You don't

Kalee Boisvert:

have to time the market perfectly. You don't have to

Kalee Boisvert:

find the ultimate low of when you're going to get in the

Kalee Boisvert:

markets and sell at the you know, the all time highs and

Kalee Boisvert:

find, you know, where's the high the highest high, it's going to

Kalee Boisvert:

be because that's where I need to sell. You know, you don't

Kalee Boisvert:

need to be this person that can time the market impeccably,

Kalee Boisvert:

because I would argue that nobody can even the investing

Kalee Boisvert:

gurus, the Warren Buffett's of the world that have been very

Kalee Boisvert:

successful, they do not do that either. With their investing,

Kalee Boisvert:

again, it's diligence. It's long term. Wealthy people accept what

Kalee Boisvert:

is in their control and what is not in their control. They do

Kalee Boisvert:

invest for the long term, again, its patients invest on an

Kalee Boisvert:

ongoing basis basis, they avoid panic buying and selling. And

Kalee Boisvert:

they build their wealth in the long run just by taking these

Kalee Boisvert:

actions and not getting caught up in all the noise. So that

Kalee Boisvert:

doesn't sound very exciting. Just you know, avoiding the

Kalee Boisvert:

panic buying and selling, adding on going to the markets. That's

Kalee Boisvert:

not That's not like Wolf of Wall Street stuff. But I can tell

Kalee Boisvert:

you, it's the stuff that gives you money in the bank builds

Kalee Boisvert:

your wealth. So what else have they figured out? That

Kalee Boisvert:

consistency is key for building wealth? Again, it isn't so much

Kalee Boisvert:

about finding those lucky opportunities to get massive

Kalee Boisvert:

returns overnight. It's about sticking to a long term plan of

Kalee Boisvert:

ongoing saving and investing. building wealth is about saving

Kalee Boisvert:

money, and sticking to that plan, long, long term as well,

Kalee Boisvert:

increasing when the opportunity arises. So maybe you get a pay

Kalee Boisvert:

raise. And you increase that savings rate on an ongoing

Kalee Boisvert:

basis. Most of us in our careers, you know, where we

Kalee Boisvert:

start to where we finish, we've had increases throughout the

Kalee Boisvert:

time in our salaries and wages. So taking those opportunities to

Kalee Boisvert:

actually increase the savings rate along the way as well is

Kalee Boisvert:

very diligent. So again, it's not an overnight success story

Kalee Boisvert:

to building wealth, it's about taking a diligent approach. And

Kalee Boisvert:

sticking with that over the long term, one of the best actions

Kalee Boisvert:

you can take is just setting up an ongoing contribution or

Kalee Boisvert:

savings that's invested on an ongoing basis. And ideally, you

Kalee Boisvert:

want to coordinate that with every pay. So it's paying

Kalee Boisvert:

yourself first every time you're receiving money. So maybe you're

Kalee Boisvert:

paid bi weekly, or you're paid two times a month, well having a

Kalee Boisvert:

designated amount automatically go into your separate investment

Kalee Boisvert:

accounts or you know, maybe it's a couple of different investment

Kalee Boisvert:

accounts, maybe one at one point, it goes into your

Kalee Boisvert:

retirement savings account. And another one, it's more of your

Kalee Boisvert:

Tax Free Savings Account. But it's that ongoing each pay

Kalee Boisvert:

period. And just keeping it up not stopping it for any reason.

Kalee Boisvert:

It's the consistency. So doing what you can afford and what you

Kalee Boisvert:

can consistently do. If it's over stretching, and you do it

Kalee Boisvert:

for a few months, and you have to stop it for several months to

Kalee Boisvert:

catch up. Well, that's not a great strategy. Because again,

Kalee Boisvert:

consistency is key. So do what you can do that can be done with

Kalee Boisvert:

consistency. You don't have to get this massive bonus or

Kalee Boisvert:

inherit a large sum of money. You're consistent efforts of

Kalee Boisvert:

making saving a priority on an ongoing basis, pay off, they add

Kalee Boisvert:

up. What else do wealthy people know? Well, they know that you

Kalee Boisvert:

have to invest.

Kalee Boisvert:

Investing is key to wealth building. Your money must not

Kalee Boisvert:

sit idle, it needs to work for you. If you've been sitting on

Kalee Boisvert:

the sidelines with your money and you're not you're not doing

Kalee Boisvert:

yourself any favors because you're actually losing value as

Kalee Boisvert:

inflation or roads away at your cash. Wealthy people know that

Kalee Boisvert:

investing is the way to make their money work for them while

Kalee Boisvert:

they continue to work for their money. This means you will have

Kalee Boisvert:

to invest. If you're afraid afraid to invest because you're

Kalee Boisvert:

concerned you will lose money. I completely understand that is a

Kalee Boisvert:

valid concern and fear but you have to find a way to work

Kalee Boisvert:

through that because there's plenty of investment solutions

Kalee Boisvert:

and products out there. That might be a perfect fit for you

Kalee Boisvert:

that meets that criteria of that kind of concern of volatility

Kalee Boisvert:

and fear, okay, so you have to work through that it's not doing

Kalee Boisvert:

you any favors sitting on the sidelines, you have to invest.

Kalee Boisvert:

And remember the key point of impatient. The key point that we

Kalee Boisvert:

kept talking about the word I said over and over again,

Kalee Boisvert:

patience over the long term, over the long term time

Kalee Boisvert:

horizons, the stock market has always returned positive

Kalee Boisvert:

results. So again, this is based on past performance. So I can't

Kalee Boisvert:

necessarily say that that's indicative of future

Kalee Boisvert:

performance, obviously. So disclaimer, there, I can't

Kalee Boisvert:

guarantee any market results, I do not have a crystal ball to be

Kalee Boisvert:

able to tell you what is going to come. But I can tell you

Kalee Boisvert:

historically, looking at the stock markets, over long term

Kalee Boisvert:

time horizons, they have always returned positive results. So if

Kalee Boisvert:

there is that fear of losing money, again, if we can go back

Kalee Boisvert:

to that reminder of patience of long term goals, then you will

Kalee Boisvert:

be in a positive position, again, based on past performance

Kalee Boisvert:

numbers. And lastly, what I want to share about what wealthy

Kalee Boisvert:

people know is that you don't have to do it alone. Wealthy

Kalee Boisvert:

people know that their time is their most valuable asset. They

Kalee Boisvert:

know what their strengths where their strengths lie, and they're

Kalee Boisvert:

willing to outsource the areas that they don't feel as strongly

Kalee Boisvert:

in. Think of it this way, working with a professional

Kalee Boisvert:

might actually yield better results, then you would have

Kalee Boisvert:

been able to do on your own. And that could generate a positive

Kalee Boisvert:

return on your investment. So yes, there's a cost associated

Kalee Boisvert:

with working for with sorry, professionals, but what it can

Kalee Boisvert:

generate for you in savings, and things like that might actually

Kalee Boisvert:

be a positive return. So although you're spending money,

Kalee Boisvert:

it still could leave more money in your pocket at the end of the

Kalee Boisvert:

day. So think about in terms of working with an accountant, for

Kalee Boisvert:

example, if your taxes are simple and straightforward, and

Kalee Boisvert:

you don't mind doing them, by all means, take a DIY approach,

Kalee Boisvert:

do it yourself. But investing in working with a tax professional

Kalee Boisvert:

may lead to tax savings opportunities that you would

Kalee Boisvert:

have missed on your own, and planning strategies that leave

Kalee Boisvert:

more money in your pocket. So although there's a cost to

Kalee Boisvert:

working with a professional, you might have actually saved more

Kalee Boisvert:

in tax savings over the years, then you would have by doing it

Kalee Boisvert:

on your own. So in the long run, it's, it's a benefit, it's an

Kalee Boisvert:

investment for you, it's actually a better opportunity

Kalee Boisvert:

than doing it yourself. So again, not only is it

Kalee Boisvert:

outsourcing and saving time, but you actually might be making a

Kalee Boisvert:

better decision or it might be more positive for you at the end

Kalee Boisvert:

of the day. Another example, I recently worked with a life

Kalee Boisvert:

coach, could I've taken a DIY approach read personal

Kalee Boisvert:

development books, which I mean I read them anyway but use those

Kalee Boisvert:

books and the strategies I found out to make my own sort of plan

Kalee Boisvert:

and outline and stuck with it and develop to my personal goals

Kalee Boisvert:

and my business goals myself and, and did the steps that I

Kalee Boisvert:

need to do to get there. Yes, I could have done that myself. But

Kalee Boisvert:

what I was able to accomplish after six months of working with

Kalee Boisvert:

a life coach might have taken me doing it all on my own closer to

Kalee Boisvert:

a few years. And so I saved a lot of time, it was like I took

Kalee Boisvert:

a shortcut, I did it a lot quicker. And for me, that's a

Kalee Boisvert:

big investment in myself, because it's being more

Kalee Boisvert:

efficient is growing myself my business and that pays off for

Kalee Boisvert:

me. So it was a very good investment. And final example

Kalee Boisvert:

about working with a financial professional. By all means if

Kalee Boisvert:

you're up for taking a do it yourself approach to wealth

Kalee Boisvert:

building, to doing financial planning yourself and the

Kalee Boisvert:

investment decisions and that interests you then of course, I

Kalee Boisvert:

encourage you to take that approach. But if you if it

Kalee Boisvert:

stresses you out if you have a busy schedule and you know your

Kalee Boisvert:

money deserves time and attention, but you don't have

Kalee Boisvert:

the time or the desire to ensure that you're you know, taking

Kalee Boisvert:

these steps that you're investing your money, then

Kalee Boisvert:

working with a financial advisor might be something for you to

Kalee Boisvert:

consider the benefits from their planning services, investments,

Kalee Boisvert:

election tax strategies, and support on the emotional and

Kalee Boisvert:

psychology psychological traps that come up when it comes to

Kalee Boisvert:

our emotions and money that they help guide you through and

Kalee Boisvert:

support you through it might put you further ahead than if you're

Kalee Boisvert:

doing it on your own. And again this is a personal decision

Kalee Boisvert:

again if you like it if you enjoy it. If it's easy for you

Kalee Boisvert:

if it comes easy and quick then by all means a do it yourself

Kalee Boisvert:

approach is probably perfect for you. But if it doesn't come easy

Kalee Boisvert:

for you if it's stressful again, it doesn't mean anything wealthy

Kalee Boisvert:

people By all means, work with financial professionals, I work

Kalee Boisvert:

with very financially successful people that have opted, you

Kalee Boisvert:

know, to have me support them, or work or people that work with

Kalee Boisvert:

financial professionals to support them. It doesn't mean

Kalee Boisvert:

it's not a sign of weakness, it's not a sign of giving up or

Kalee Boisvert:

saying, you know, I don't know this, it's, it's a sign of

Kalee Boisvert:

saying, Hey, this is not my strength. I know my strength.

Kalee Boisvert:

And I'm going to have someone help me through this to yield

Kalee Boisvert:

the best results that I think I can get. So that's something

Kalee Boisvert:

wealthy people know as well. And that wraps up what I think are

Kalee Boisvert:

the key factors that are used to build wealth. Now, you might be

Kalee Boisvert:

surprised that there were no complicated investing strategies

Kalee Boisvert:

or tricky financial tools needed. But that was really the

Kalee Boisvert:

point. Okay, so trick to no magical tools here are secrets

Kalee Boisvert:

of the wealthy that only they know. It's really that wealth is

Kalee Boisvert:

truly possible for everyone. And is partly because Ultra

Kalee Boisvert:

complication, and you know, again, mathematical equation and

Kalee Boisvert:

analyzing charts and graphs, it's not a prerequisite for

Kalee Boisvert:

success. It's not required to win in the money game. Actually,

Kalee Boisvert:

building wealth is easy. It's easy. So if it's not easy, then

Kalee Boisvert:

you're doing something wrong, okay? Instead, it comes to down

Kalee Boisvert:

to being mindful of your money, saving, investing, being I'm

Kalee Boisvert:

gonna say it again, patient, and enlisting support where it might

Kalee Boisvert:

be helpful. So that wraps up what I wanted to talk about

Kalee Boisvert:

today for what wealthy people know. Again, hopefully, it's

Kalee Boisvert:

empowering to realize that hey, that is very realistic, that is

Kalee Boisvert:

very achievable. And I'm on my way to be wealthy too. So

Kalee Boisvert:

hopefully that's how you're feeling after listening to this

Kalee Boisvert:

Kalee Boisvert:
