Money was a big struggle for my family and eye for a long time. Not only did we not have a lot of it, we did not have the right mindset about it. That’s one reason I’m so passionate about helping teachers increase their income – which I recommend doing through selling your digital products.
Another thing I am passionate about is changing my mindset and learning more about wealth and becoming wealthy.
Here’s a list of 13 books I have read and I also recommend on finances, wealth management, becoming wealthy, and changing your mindset. You can download the list (scroll down to get access to the PDF).
