8 Keys To Increase Your Financial Mojo
I read a great article in my USAA magazine last night written by Jean Chatzky about the 8 traits it takes to be wealthy.
Here’s a static that blew my mind and I found VERY encouraging:
~ When you look at the top 30% of the population in terms of wealth,
9 out of 10 of them were not there a decade ago!
I thought that was amazingly encouraging news. It tells me that the playing field has changed. You don’t need to be from money to make money. There are infinite new opportunities out there to create wealth and it is possible in a much shorter period of time than most of us think. So dream big and know that you can make it happen.
Here are the 8 traits that you will need to help you along the way according to a recent survey that Jean conducted.
~ Optimism: Others are attracted to those that are happy and energetic. Put out the good vibes and the opportunities start increasing.
~ Resilience: We all have stumbling blocks on our path to success. How fast to you get back up and get back at it?
~ Passion:The wealthy tend to switch jobs and careers less because they focus on things that they are passionate about. It means they are more likely to bring their all to what they do which helps to propel them forward.
~ Connectedness: The wealthy are great connectors. They reach out and get to know others and build a network of people around them so that they can always be connecting people with others.
~ Intuition:Do you ever have a gut feeling about something? That is your intuition talking to you and it usually has some pretty important things to say. The better you are at hearing and listening to your intuition, the better decisions you will make.
~ Saving habitually: Let’s face it, we predisposed to spend now and blow off later. The wealthy understand the value of saving and having money automatically deducted from their check before they have a chance to spend it.
~ Investing: Investing is important and a great way to build wealth. Be sure you have a strategy and are getting good advice along the way.
~ Gratitude:Materialism is obsession what you desire. Gratitude is appreciating what you have. Gratitude leads to happiness and ties back into optimism. You have to be grateful for what you have before you can be open to receiving more.
Practice these each day and watch the changes that happen!

What Do You LOVE About Your Business?
I’m back!!! There’s been a lot going on lately, (more on that in a later post) and it’s been a few weeks since I’ve sent you a note. Needless to say, I’ve missed you! I’ve been moving through a lot of ‘life’ lately, and there’s been a common thread in my business that has surprised…
How Do You Want Summer To Feel?
Summer is often a season of expectations not meeting reality. I used to think my perfect summer meant iced tea on the patio while reading every day. For the record, that’s never happened. And for a while, I felt bad about it — like I was missing out, like I was doing summer wrong. Until…
You’re Not Behind, There Are Infinite Options
Your in box is about to fill up with emails about us being 1/2 through the year. You know – the ones that ask if you’re on track with your goals, and offer a solution to whip you into shape for the next 6 months. If you are having a great year – I celebrate…
Letting Go Of The Hustle Sounds Great, But You’ve Got a Business To Run
To be clear, I am 100% for less hustle, more flow, manifesting, receiving, regulating my nervous system, and letting things be easier. But somewhere between: “That sounds amazing” and “I’m a real estate agent – I need to generate clients and sell houses to earn an income” Things can get confusing. Because no matter how…
The Beauty of Not Doing It Alone
Thank you for being part of this community! I learned something beautiful and powerful last week. It was vulnerable to post about recalibrating, and being in the messy middle of grieving. Yet the conversations, emails, texts and notes have meant to much. To know that we are not alone is one of the greatest gifts…
Recalibrate In a Business That Runs 24/7
It happens to me every year about this time. The need to recalibrate. In a business that can run 24/7 – it’s easy to look up one day and realize, your batteries are drained and there’s no break in sight. Side note – It doesn’t have to be a 24/7 thing, but that’s a topic…
It’s Okay For Things To Be Different
I often find myself comparing things. I compare my business this year to years past.I compare my health and fitness to where I was 10 years ago.I compare how I show up and experience different life events. On the one hand – it makes perfect sense. Our brains crave predictability. It calms our nervous system.…
I Used To Be So Afraid Of This…
I used to dread client conversations. Especially pricing conversations with sellers in a softer market, like we are in right now. I was afraid of letting them down. It came up this week with a new listing. They bought at the height of the market in 2022. Today’s prices are lower than that. How do…
What If Your Income Didn’t Depend On The Market?
There are multiple markets occurring right now – in the same cities, on the same streets. Sellers are experiencing it one way. Buyers are experiencing it another. And agents? All over the board. Same market. Completely different results. So what’s the difference? What you believe. What you look for. And how you show up. Two…
Permission To Fall Apart: The Truth About Resetting Your Energy
What if your next breakthrough is on the other side of your next melt down? There’s a side to energy and mindset work that no one talks about. Most teachings only talk about being positive.

Great post Nicole! I look forward to reading more.
Thanks so much Jeff!
Nicole, this is a great list! I love it and a great post for moms who want to start building wealth now. It is fascinating to look at those who have achieved success and see the qualities that have brought them to where they are. The hardest one on this list for me… saving! LOL
Thanks for writing about a great topic!
Thanks Britt!
I hear you on the savings thing. At some point I decided that I would start saving ‘tomorrow’. 15 years later I am starting to realize that I need to turn tomorrow into today:)
