Getting into our Atomic Habits to Change Our Lives

from The Financial Griot · host Lawrence Delva-Gonzalez, Lovely Merdelus

In this episode, Lovely and Lawrence talk about Atomic Habits by James Clear. A truly phenomenal mindset shifting book that we highly recommend. What started as a conversation on changing our identity, shifted to a pseudo book review since there are a lot of great takeaways that everyone can use.  Wealth is not as expensive as we perceived but it has a cost. You have to be willing to adopt new narratives in your life and pivot toward something more. In truth, most people are subconsciously comfortable with their lives as is and struggle with changing in fear that nothing stays the same. Alas, "nothing stays the same and change is the only constant." The real question is, "Do you want to change?" If so, here are great reasons why.  As always, remember to like, share, and subscribe to this podcast.

The griot is a repository of oral tradition and is often seen as a leader due to their position as an advisor to royal personages. As a result of the former of these two functions, they are sometimes called a bard.As such, we tell the stories that others don't. Stories that we should share for growth, opportunity and understanding. Beyond that we talk about Finances. Specifically, how to become Financially literate, incorporating actionable steps and ultimately building generational wealth. So there you have it, The Financial Griot or TFG for short. You will be in for a treat. The hosts were able to amass over $2.5 Million in wealth in about 8 years and are on track to retire early. If you want the secrets; we will gladly share them since opportunity is abundant and Win-Win. Connect with TFG Crew: Alainta Alcin - Blogger, Travel and Money Enthusiast @its_alaintaLovely Merdelus - Entrepreneur and Small Business Growth Specialist @lovelymerdelusLawrence Delva-Gonzalez - Auditor and Financial Literacy Educator @theneighborhoodfinanceguy
