5 Steps to Financial Freedom for Women: Why Earning More Isn’t Enough | Dr. Annie Cole | Bigger Pockets Podcast

EPISODE 530: Have you ever felt like you’re earning more but not getting any wealthier? Then you don’t want to miss this week’s episode of The InvestHER Podcast.

In it, we sit down with Dr. Annie Cole, an expert money coach and financial educator who teaches women how to master all areas of their finances, from budgeting and paying off debt to investing, building wealth, and retiring early.

In her twenties, Annie was a burnt-out social worker struggling on a $26,000/year salary. By her thirties, she had climbed the ladder to a vice president role, invested over $300k, owned $1 million in real estate, and cut two decades off her retirement date. 

Today, she runs her own coaching business, Money Essentials for Women, and inspires women to step into new levels of money mastery and confidence.

But not even two decades ago, Annie felt the same way you do, until she discovered the key to building wealth: aligning her financial goals with her life vision.

In this episode, she shares with us her five-step guide to building wealth. She also discusses the importance of diversifying your investments, why you need to track your finances, the mindset shift you must make for financial successes, and much more.

Are you ready?
