Description

“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.
