    Learn How To Take Risks and How I Almost Lost $80K on Inventory

    Taking risks is hard. Especially for women because we are biologically programmed to have less testosterone, and that affects the way we respond to stressful situations. Studies show that the propensity for risk taking decreases for women, when we encounter stress, but actually increases for men. Even though we're programmed this way, it doesn't mean we can't reprogram our mind to actually take more calculated risks. In this episode I provide actionable tips for how you can learn to take risks and manage uncertainty. I also explain how to take risks to exit a business or situation that isn't serving you and how you know when the right time to quit is. Winners quit all the time… they just quit at the right things. Here's more of what I get into: 2:57 - Find Your Why5:00 -  Start Small9:57 - Know Your Business (or the situation) In and Out15:33 - Fear Setting19:16 - The Dip22:51 - The Cul-De-Sac24:09 - The CliffGet $50 When you Sign Up For Wealthsimple✩ CONNECT WITH ME: ✩Instagram: @missfindependentTikTok: @nikafarbLearn more at missfindependent.comFor contact or business inquiries: media@missfindependent.com

    The average lifespan in Canada is 82, and most people retire at the age of 65. That's at least 17 years of life that we have to think about affording. That's what the Registered Retirement Savings Plan or RRSP exists for. A lot of people don't know that although it's called a Retirement Savings Plan, it's actually best used for investing, (not saving), and can be used for so much more than just retiring. This episode starts with the basics, and then goes more in depth to look at 2 ways of non-traditionally using an RRSP.

    Kalya Trivieri is a Senior Consultant for IBM and works in AI and IoT. She's privy to the rapid innovations happening in the digital space and noticed a growing interest in NFTs and, on a whim, decided to make her first viral video teaching her followers about what she knew. She has grown a following of over 220K since then and noted that the audience is mostly women who want to learn about NFTs, blockchain, and crypto. The idea of addressing her audience as “Hot Girls” breaks down the stereotype that it's only nerdy men who work in tech. There are so many opportunities for women to step into the field – any girl is a hot girl, and they should feel empowered and welcomed into this space. Here's what we get into. 3:44 - How to Navigate NFT Communities10:47 - Future Use Cases of NFTs16:20 - Web 2.0 vs. Web 3.022:54 - Wedding NFTs34:21 - Kayla's NFT Projects✩ SOCIALS: ✩instagram: @missfindependentTikTok: @nikafarbFor contact or business inquiries: media@missfindependent.com

    Easy Passive Income Ideas for 2022

    Play Episode Listen Later Jan 26, 2022 20:44


    Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Having a 9 - 5 “traditional job” is still cool. It helps you qualify for traditional lending, and helps you invest into building other income streams. Relying on earned employment income alone though is not cool. There are a lot of benefits of having a stable income. And that's what a job provides. It gives you the security to know that your financial obligations are going to be met. What I want you to rewire, is this idea that your earned income -the money that you make at your job, is the only source of income you can have. The idea that earned income will make you financially successful is wrong. It's just not the case in our day and age. It is really difficult to become a homeowner with just your salary alone. I'm based in Toronto, and our real estate market is crazy, but that's the case in almost every big city in North America and in a lot of places in Europe too. Salaries are not rising with the rate of inflation, home prices are skyrocketing. So if you want more out of life you've got to do more. It's just a simple as that. And no I'm not romanticizing hustle culture and telling you you gotta work every day, actually what I get into in this episode is actually the opposite of that. Here's a breakdown of what to expect:0:38 - Common Misconception 3:47 - Earned vs. Passive Income4:47 - Profit7:17 - Affiliate Marketing10:49 - Capital Gains11:42 - Dividend Income15:19 - Rental Income17:39 - Staking Crypto18:54 - Private Lending✩ SOCIALS: ✩instagram: @missfindependentTikTok: @nikafarbFor contact or business inquiries: media@missfindependent.com

    This episode is a little different from anything I've done on The Miss Findependent Show in the past. I talk about my experience exploring the realms of yoga and meditation, how they've lead me on a spiritual quest in the depth of the Andes mountains in Peru, and where the ideas of spirituality intersect with business. I have friends from all walks of life, artists, entrepreneurs, and a lot of fellow yoga teachers in my circle. One thing that people who aren't in the business world often ask me is how on earth these two worlds collide. A common misconception I hear is that the pursuit of "wealth" is not spiritual, and goes against spiritual practices. That's just plain wrong. Money itself is neither good nor bad, it's just a tool. Achieving a state of financial abundance, getting to a place where you are not worried about your day to day expenses, allows you to live in tune with your purpose and allows you to explore the pursuit of service. In this episode, I break down common limiting beliefs around money and help you rewire your thinking so you can pursue abundance and stop getting in your own way.Here's what I get into:2:42 - Childhood Beliefs5:55 - The Diamond Cutter9:56 - "Someone Else Will Do"10:55 - "I'm Not Good With Money"13:23 - Letting Go of Negative Dialogue17:17 - Intersection of Spirituality and Business20:48 - Operating with IntegrityIt would mean the world to me if you could leave me a review in the Podcast App. Reviews help my podcast reach more people and help me educate more people on how to invest and grow their money.https://www.amazon.ca/Diamond-Cutter-Buddha-Managing-Business/dp/038552868XUntil next time. XX Nika

    Traditionally on The Miss Findependent Show, I talk about Index Funds and ETFs at length. I get it, these can get kind of boring, but if your portfolio is like a meal that you're cooking, the S&P 500 is like the (S)alt and (P)epper that's the base set of spices for most meals. Once you master how to work with the basics, you can start adding in more interesting flavours - like Garam Masala or Tarragon. I literally just learned how to cook with Tarragon. Fun fact - it goes great with Shrimp.The thing with this cooking analogy (which I'm really starting to like btw) is that we're not all cooking the same meals, and our skill levels and comfort levels are going to be so different. That's why I'll never tell you what to invest in, but simply educate you on how to build the perfect meal for you.With this episode, I want to share with investors, or soon-to be investors that stock picking can be very lucrative, but it's a lot more complex. To succeed, you need to have a solid understanding of portfolio balancing and how cyclical stocks perform. Here's what I get into:2:09 - Risk Tolerance5:39 - What are Cyclical Stocks10:00 - Defensive Stocks14:39 - Advantages to Owning Cyclical Stocks17:11 - Disadvantages of Investing in Cyclical Stocks19:15 - Discussing Sectors25:30 - How I'm Playing ItIt would mean the world to me if you could leave me a review in the Podcast App. Reviews help my podcast reach more people and help me educate more people on how to invest and grow their money.Until next time. XX Nika

The answer, like most things in life is, it's complicated. Having debt can be emotionally taxing on the body. It can put you under a significant amount of mental stress, and can even lead to physical affects on the body. While we can't help you deal with financial stress (that's something a good yoga class might help with though) we can help you arm yourself with knowledge so you have a plan for tackling your debt. The good news - most people have some kind of debt. Debt doesn't always have to be a bad thing. Leveraging debt can unlock a wide array of opportunities for you, and understanding how to use debt properly, can be a tool you never knew you had. What we get into: 1:15 - Everyone Has Debt1:38 - Good Vs.
