Brittney Castro learned the importance of patience when looking to sell her own business. As an entrepreneur and financial planner, she added saleswoman to her list of titles as she tackled numerous negotiations and potential deals.

But then, right before the pandemic hit, everything fell into place. In this week's episode, hear how Brittney learned to let go, and how sometimes that's exactly what is needed.

Friendship + money = problems. Watch my new video with Brittney Castro, CFP: Don't Let Money Ruin Your Friendships"One of the craziest things the survey found was how little was required to end a friendship. Almost three-quarters of respondents said they would end a friendship over $500 — and 40% said they would end one if the dispute was just $100." Bank of America (BAC) commissioned a survey of 1,000 nationally representative respondents in 2017:"Money was cited as the fourth largest cause of stress in friendships after jealousy, gossip, and disagreements, and not something people like to talk about with friends. According to the data, the only thing people enjoy talking about less, apparently, is personal hygiene. 53% of people said they'd seen a friendship end over money, a fact that led 77% of respondents in the survey to believe that an IOU is harmful to a friendship."Source: New data shows how much money it takes to ruin a friendship - Yahoo FinanceRate, review, and subscribe free to this podcast wherever you listen (including Alexa Flash Briefing): Voice Marketing with Emily Binder mini podcast and Alexa Flash BriefingBook a marketing consultation with me (30 or 60 minutes): https://emilybinder.com/call See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

That means that GOOD DAYS and BAD DAYS are one and the same: they are both opportunities for celebration, acceptance, and growth. — Brittney Castro,CFP® (@Brittneycastro) January 19, 2021 Morgan Housel: Personal Finance Philosophies "There are few universally right answers. Just lots of shades of gray that work for people’s unique personalities and situations. A lot of finance arguments happen when people get upset after realizing that not everyone has, or wants, the same life as you." Kyle Moore: When The Future Never Comes "Financial planning is a never-ending balance between living for today vs. planning for tomorrow. We don’t know what life will bring our way, but it's better to prepare and not have needed, than need and not have prepared. While we can't escape planning for our futures, we must do so with balance and a reverence for the present moment, for we aren't guaranteed a tomorrow." Calibrating Capital: Why Do We [Truly] Do What We Do? "As I said in my own example, I think it’s possible to still do good work even with the existence of the Nefarious Why. However, we need to ensure that the Noble Why is the one in the driver’s seat, and the Nefarious is in the backseat – or even the trunk." Of Dollars And Data: 10 Investing Lessons from 2020 "If 2020 taught me anything, it was what the late Jack Bogle was fond of saying, “Nobody knows nothing.” Of course, predicting the future is always hard, but 2020 illustrated to us just how difficult it can be. If you would’ve told me that U.S. stocks would rise over 10% in the same year as a global pandemic, I wouldn’t have believed you. But that’s what makes markets so complex and mystifying, especially in 2020, a year unlike any other." Brett Koeppel: Trust the Process: What You Can Learn About Retirement Planning From the Buffalo Bills "In the early years, fans heard “Trust the Process” so often from Sean McDermott that it became a running joke around town. The belief is that by taking the right reps and doing the right things consistently, the results would come over time." Simon Tryzna: Mosaic Theory "While I'm not building valuation models for individual stocks or making any stock recommendations, I think this analysis method is essential in making informed decisions. There are many places for investors to get information from on the internet – I urge everyone reading this to not fall in love with one or two and follow their recommendations blindly." A Wealth Of Common Sense: Getting Your Stock Picks From Podcasts "I didn’t perform any due diligence on Spotify’s business or look through the financial statements or anything approaching the work of an actual analyst. I simply bought it because I was impressed with Ek’s vision for the future of the company and his humility as a leader." Retirement Field Guide: Real Return Is All That Matters "So, if inflation has been about 3%, then the real return for each asset class has been 7% for equities vs. just 2% for bonds. That means that equities haven’t outpaced bonds by 2X, but by 3.5X! " Brett Fellows: Investor Heuristics--5 Biases To Watch Out For When Making Financial Decisions "However, these mental shortcuts don’t always serve us when making complex decisions. Indeed, heuristics aren’t supposed to result in optimal decisions, but rather “good enough” decisions given a limited timeframe. That’s why it’s important to recognize them at play and keep them in check, especially when faced with information meant to appeal to our instincts, not our intellect."

This podcast will help you learn to up-level your time management strategies so you can get back in control of your day – and make an extra hour, your 25th hour, a reality - every day.Today’s guest is Brittney Castro, CFP®, AAMS®, CRPC®. Brittney is the founder and CEO of Financially Wise Inc., a Los Angeles- based financial planning and education firm whose mission is to teach individuals and couples the art of managing their finances in a thoughtful and proactive way. Brittney is a Certified Financial Planner, Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor, Accredited Asset Management Specialist, entrepreneur, highly sought-after speaker, and host.In this episode, we discuss the importance of embracing gratitude and choosing your words carefully when you talk to yourself. Listen in as Brittney shares her strategies and secret recipes for living fully while managing time effectively.Time Management Strategies for Success: Calendar - “I’ve been obsessed with calendars ever since junior high - and I still color coordinate it for certain activities. I think being skilled at time management and scheduling has allowed me to be really diligent with my time.”Meditate - “My secret recipe is meditation; it expands me to this idea that I can be beyond time. So even though I have a lot to do, I never feel that pressure or sense of time restriction that I think a lot of people default to.”Word Choice - “Word choice makes a big difference - when I started saying, “I have a full life” I realized, “Oh yeah, I DO have a full life, and I created it, and I get to do the things that I want to do.”Gratitude - “I tend to focus a lot on gratitude, on what’s good about something instead of what’s lacking.

Money issues are often cited as a top reason couples fight, as well as a reason they divorce. So why do we think hiring a financial planner is a luxury? I believed this, too, until I interviewed Brittney Castro, CFP®, AAMS®, CRPC®, the founder and CEO of Financially Wise Inc., a Los Angeles-based financial planning firm whose mission is to teach individuals and couples the art of managing their money the fun and simple way. Brittney is a Certified Financial Planner™, Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor, Accredited Asset Management Specialist, entrepreneur, and speaker. I went into this chat with Brittney expecting some DIY tips on managing money, and I came out convinced that every marriage needs a financial planner, especially if you're married to an entrepreneur. Investing, saving, budgeting - there's a lot that goes into managing money and owning a business only makes it more complicated. A professional expert can help you and your spouse avoid mistakes and save you money in the long run. Plus he or she can serve as a neutral third-party during financial discussions, which really helps relationships. Brittney also shares common financial mistakes she sees entrepreneurs make, how women and men think differently about money and business, and how to create a money mindset. Most importantly, she explains why your marriage needs a financial planner.

‘When I have the money, I'll work with a financial planner.' There is a lot of fear and stress around money, and a disproportionate number of women are intimidated by the prospect of working with a financial planner. It's never fun to be judged, and many of us operate under the mistaken notion that financial planning is reserved for the rich. Today's guest would argue that financial planners can help people in any income bracket, at any stage of their lives. Brittney Castro is the founder and CEO of Financially Wise Women, a financial planning firm that seeks to teach women and couples the art of managing their money the fun and simple way. She created the firm in an effort to help women get their financial lives in order, using an approach that is smart, compassionate and nonjudgmental. Castro is a Certified Financial Planner, Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor, Accredited Asset Management Specialist, and a sought-after speaker and resource for national media outlets such as CNN, CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and Entrepreneur. Castro also serves as the Chase Financial Education Ambassador to promote financial literacy, and a CFP Pro spokeswoman on the CFP Board campaign to educate more women and minorities about the career of financial planning. Today she shares how working with female clients allows her to be more authentic in a male-dominated profession, why a career in financial planning is a good fit for women, and the benefits of getting your financial life in order regardless of the size of your bank account. Key Interview Takeaways Because women speak differently about their financial goals, it may be beneficial for female clients to work with a female financial planner. Castro finds that she can be more authentic with her female clients, approaching the topic of money from a uniquely female perspective. The CFP campaign to foster diversity in the profession seeks to educate women and minorities about financial planning as a viable career option. As a spokesperson for the campaign, Castro leverages her own journey, inspiring the next generation to consider a career in financial planning. The benefits of being a financial planner include a flexible work schedule as well as the opportunity to make a significant impact in people's lives. Castro sees the career as a good fit for women, and hopes to change the bleak statistic that less than 20% of CFPs are female. The process of sitting down with a financial planner involves three major components: 1) An initial consultation call, 2) Data, strategy and implementation meetings to build a budget and educate clients about their options, and 3) Review meetings to assess progress and address changes. Financial planners can help people in any income bracket, at any stage of their lives. You don't have to be a millionaire to benefit from the advice of a professional. Designing a financial plan and implementing systems around your money provides freedom, stability, clarity and peace of mind.
