Welcome back to *From Middle-Class to Millions*! In this episode, Shannon Brown-Ward, your Money Mindset Coach and Financial Educator, dives deep into the critical mindset shifts required to build wealth and break free from the middle-class financial squeeze.
Shannon discusses how the definition of "middle class" has evolved and how rising costs and inflation make it harder to maintain financial stability. While staying middle class may be comfortable for some, Shannon challenges you to rethink your approach to money in order to move from survival to thriving and wealth-building.
A key takeaway from this episode is the importance of **openly discussing money**—a step that can empower you to shift your thinking and gain the confidence to build wealth. Shannon encourages you to surround yourself with like-minded people who are also committed to financial growth. **The company you keep** plays a huge role in shaping your financial mindset. Whether it's seeking out financial mentors, joining communities, reading books, or listening to podcasts, the more you engage with financial education, the more money you'll make.
Shannon also emphasizes the power of **transforming your money habits**. She shares how one small shift, like directing extra funds towards investments instead of increasing spending, can compound over time and create wealth. For Shannon, this transformation happened when she paid off her car early and decided to invest that freed-up money instead of using it for lifestyle inflation. **Small, consistent actions** can lead to significant financial growth.
This episode is packed with practical advice on how to break free from limiting money beliefs and start thinking like someone who is on the path to financial freedom. If you’re ready to increase your net worth, build wealth, and make money work for you, this episode is for you!
