54:50: I like Bola's statement " be mindful of who they share their goals with"!! ❤ that!!So so true!!! Not everyone is meant to ride along in your journey. " keep your goals close to your heart". Let go of the dream killers.
OMG this is one of my favorite and I love how she’s laughing some of the things she did to save money. So inspirational and she’s very eloquent. Thank you.
I follow Clever Girl Finance but to hear this personal side of Bola is absolutely amazing! She is such an inspiration to me personally! I would do anything to have a phone conversation with her. I am a newer entrepreneur, single mom of five kids, and the struggle is real! This has been the best interview I’ve listened to on RU-vid ever! Thank you so much for presenting her! 🙏
I am starting a financial channel to start getting young families educated in finances and I stumbled on to Bola's channel. I loved her content and presentation right away. Then I found your channel and by chance you had Bola on as your guest. What a dynamic duo you both presented. Following you both as my mentors.
Just came across this interview. This was truly Inspirational. Hat's off to Bola's parents for those early lessons on attaining a good education, being the best she can be, overall hard work and focus. I love that she's frugal and mindful of how she spent her money, and created her side hustle. Kudos 👏🏿 💐
Since I found Bigger Pockets in the last month or two I have been feasting on the information you share and the great variety of guest you have hosted. I believe it is not too late to learn and do better even in times like now. Love the way the two of you come at finances from different angles. So refreshing and motivational. Thank you so much!
At first her story didn’t seem amazing or it didn’t stand out because she didn’t speak about the nuance but then I realized that was the gem. Her MINDSET made the story sound that way because to her this was normal and the only path. Her discipline and foresight in not only finance but mate selection as well. She did what she had to in order to protect her and her family’s future. Just amazing.
You just got yourself a subscriber because of this Clever Girl Bola 💃 💃 Had downloaded this in 2021, I am glad that I didn't delete it. South Africa 🇿🇦
Another great episode! I follow her channel and love it too! ... One day I will be in this podcast! Cant wait to get some more debt paid off so Im not embarrased to talk to Mindy and Scott! lol
Are you sister Mindy - our BYU pathway gathering coordinator? This voice is familiar. If you're the one, just know that we love and miss you so much. !!!❤
I don't even carry a wallet for over a decade, bc I always lose it. Now I have my wife sewed me a elastic band about an inch wide to keep all my cards in my right side front pocket.
Those are completely 2 different things. Econometrics and financial litteracy are 2 different things. I work in a bank and you would be surprised how many PhD have a hard time to understand their finances
Just because they have access to higher education doesn’t mean they have financial education- know how to negotiate salaries, know about investing… blah blah
don't read race into everything; colonial masters and slave traders were whites who took advantage of Africans, they told them close your eyes and let's pray, by the time they open their eyes, their lands,properties and arts were gone.
A white man being the author of her first financial book led her to write her own. Race seems to be a strong and positive motivator in the non colonized minds of this African family.
