If you opted-in to the Free Video Series, you remember that I mentioned there are 5 Areas of Life you must master. One of them is your Financial Wellbeing.
So the first thing I have to make very clear that Financial Wellbeing isn’t about how to design your budget properly, be a good investor, or how to make a lot of money…. because if you look around, there are plenty of people who do all of those things very well and they are NOT necessarily any happier for it.
There’s a book I’ve read and love by John Izzo called The Five Secrets You Must Discover Before You Die - not to be confused with the book, The Top 5 Regrets of the Dying by Bronnie Ware.
John started by asking 15,000 people across the US and Canada to send him their recommendations on who they felt were the “wise elders” in their life - people who had something important to teach us.

Everyone knows the basics in terms of how to get healthy - eat better and exercise more. But usually just knowing that doesn’t really make a difference.
