In this episode of The Course Creator Show, we take a momentary pivot from our usual discussions on generating income to focus on what happens after the money is made. Gemma delves into personal financial management strategies that are crucial for not just course creators but anyone looking to take control of their financial future.

In this episode, we uncover:

Flipping Your Thinking Around Investing:
Discover the 'Profit First' methodology and how applying this principle to personal finances can be a game-changer.
Hear about Gemma's personal journey starting with just $50 a month towards RRSP investments.
It's not the amount that counts but the habit, discipline, and mindset shift that sets you on the path to financial security.

The Power of Goal Setting:
Learn how setting specific financial goals can significantly increase your chances of achieving them. Goal setting isn't just motivational fluff; it's a concrete strategy for financial success.
Be inspired by personal stories, including how Gemma set a $10K savings goal in university and saving up daycare costs to go full-time with her business.

Whether you're just starting with $50 or you're ready to invest $5,000, the journey towards financial mastery begins with a single step. This episode isn't just about understanding money; it's about transforming your relationship with it.

Imagine what your life could look like if you made the decision to take action on what you truly desire? 

Whether you want to make a big move like changing countries, start a business, or simply have the time to sip a hot coffee alone quietly every morning - this episode is for you. Because although it’s a cliché, life really is short, and creating the life you want is going to fill you with the energy that comes from spending more time in your zone of genius and sharing your gifts with the world.

In this episode, we’re sharing an interview Gemma did on The Fatigue Fixer podcast hosted by Sarah Vadeboncoeur. Gemma shares what prompted her to leave her 9-5 job in public health to start an online business that’s now making 7 figures. She shares what gave her the confidence to move her family abroad and what lessons and habits she wants to bring back from her time in France (besides the delicious croissants!). 

This is a great interview and we’re excited to share it here on The Course Creator Show. Thanks to the Fatigue Fixer podcast and the Story Studio Network!
