“Money affects all parts of our life if we don’t have a handle on it,” says Kelsa Dickey, CEO & Founder of Fiscal Fitness. Kelsa has made it her life mission to help people get control over their finances, so they can lead more fulfilling and healthier lives. Kelsa learned from her parents that your level of life satisfaction is less connected to how much money you make than it is how you choose to spend it. While her mother was frugal and perpetually stressed about funds, her father spent liberally on things that were deemed “popular” and “trendy.” At the end of the day, neither of her parents was truly fulfilled. Kelsa admits that she, too, has undergone her fair share of money blocks while building her company to its current level of success. For example, the belief that making too much money in her business would make her kids entitled initially prevented her from reaching her full potential. However, Kelsa has since come to understand the strength of her personal values, which have informed how she chooses to spend her money, how she runs her business, and how she interacts with her family. In fact, a few years ago, she and her husband created the “Dickey Family Creed,” which reminds them and their two daughters to embody their fundamental values no matter what the situation. Tune into this week’s episode of Get Rich Without Being a Bitch to learn more about Kelsa’s perspective on what it means to live richly and how she incorporates this outlook into her own life. Plus, you won’t want to miss out on hearing Kelsa’s “Dickey Family Creed,” which may inform how you and your family choose to keep sight of your morals through thick and thin! Join Kelsa and host Vanessa Shaw to learn more about creating the life you truly want to live. Quotes “Money affects all parts of our life if we don’t have a handle on it. And so, I wanted to help people get control of their money, so that they could actually focus and give their attention to things that really matter in life.” (3:46-3:59) “Money by itself is not the most important thing. You can have millions of dollars and be miserable….If you, however, have money and are being intentional with it and you are using it in a way that brings you more fulfillment in life and putting it behind what’s most important to you...then it can actually boost your satisfaction overall. It can actually be a tool that helps you accomplish your dreams and live your life exactly as you want to as opposed to not having tons of options.” (5:17-5:53) ”I don’t think that the way business works is that it’s ‘learn and then do.’ I think that it’s ‘do and then learn.’” (12:15-12:21) “Your stress or your satisfaction in your life with money is not actually connected to how much you’re making. It’s connected to how you are spending it.” (18:39-18:48) “I am a financial coach, I do this work for a living, and I have money blocks, too….Mine was that if I make too much money in my business, then my children will grow up spoiled, entitled, not nice kids.” (29:39-30:02) “As one control enthusiast to another...done is better than perfect because I think if we’re so focused on it being perfect, you will not get your dream out there.
