Hi everyone! Thanks for tuning-in today for a new episode of Entrepreneur Mindset-Reset. As always, I am so grateful that you've come to listen to our wonderful conversations and my occasional musings in solo episodes. If you've not yet given us a rating and left a review, I invite you to do so. As you may know, your review helps other entrepreneurs like you find us and to join this community of wonderful, kind and giving people. The journey of entrepreneurship can be quite isolating, so it's my highest intention to level the playing field and provide free, evergreen content and a sense of belonging to anyone who can access podcasts.  If you find yourself wondering where to start, you're confused or frustrated and maybe even a little lonely and misunderstood in this wild and fascinating journey of entrepreneurship, I would suggest starting with episode 3 with Pam Sams. Her words of wisdom about how to develop trust in yourself, and how when you're intentional, the the universe (or your personal higher power) will deliver what you need. I believe this episode will lift you up and support you in regaining your perspective and direction. So queue up Episode 3 with Pam Sams for your next listen. On to today's episode… In today's episode, I am so excited to be speaking with the brilliant and effervescent Shivanii Ray of Funancial Freedom. Shivanii shares with us how she came to be such a strong advocate for financial literacy for children and teens, and much of the impetus came from traveling the world for 5 years with her family. There's a poignant moment in our conversation where Shivanii tells us that some of the happiest people she met in her travels were also some of the poorest, living in conditions that most in the western world would consider unacceptable. It was as a young teenager that she realized that money is not the key to happiness, but is a tool which can be used to open doors, buy things you want, and to help others.  You won't want to miss when she tells the story about how her mom helped a woman get medical treatment, and the impact it made on Shivanii in wanting to dedicate a percentage of her financial resources to helping others.  Shivanii is only 21 years old, with the wisdom of a Sage, and talking with her about mindset, tips for opening conversations about money, money mindset, and building healthy money habits inspired me to engage more with my own children about money. I'm also inspired to continue examining my personal beliefs and habits around money, and I believe you will be inspired to do the same. If you have children, or if there are children in your life who would benefit from learning about and pre-programming their money mindset, I strongly encourage you to check out FunancialFreedom.com to learn more. So, grab a beverage or a snack and settle-in to listen to Shivanii and her amazing journey. Shivanii's Bio: Shivanii Ray is a 21 year old International Speaker and Gamification Expert, who uses her worldly experiences to inspire others to live life outside the box and on their own terms. When she was 10, after her family was forced out of the US due to immigration issues, she spent 5 years travelling around the world. Growing up globally, Shivanii was able to learn on her own terms which led her to become a certified NLP Practitioner and a certified Scuba Diver both by the age 12.  The Global Face and Community Champion of FUNancial Freedom, Shivanii now helps kids and teens become financially smart. After realising the standard education system often falls short when teaching children things like financial literacy and mindset tools, she now helps kids and teens fill in the gaps and thrive in these areas.  Shivanii emceed her first event at age 8 for 2,500 people and has since spoken at numerous entrepreneurial events across 4 continents, even sharing the stage with the legendary Les Brown. For her expertise, she has been featured on Good Morning America, NBC, FOX, ABC, and several international newspapers and magazines.
