Welcome back to Stand Out Be You! Today, we’re capturing the story of Jen Paterson with Dollar Divas.
After fifteen years spent in the financial world, Jen transitioned to coaching before starting her own business to share sound money strategies—and she’s a true finance guru! Today, Jen’s all about helping women change the way they view their money, especially when it comes to the complicated task of running a business. Her passion is helping women in business (and out of it!) learn to control their money, so it stops controlling them.
If you have any reservations about money, if you’re not sure how to get your income working toward your goals, or if you’re simply not up-to-date on best practices in terms of financial strategies, this episode is for you!
We know we should be saving, but nobody knows how to do it. When you say, “You should make dinner,” there’s a lot of easy ways to access what those steps are…You need to choose a recipe. But that doesn’t exist when it comes to money, and that’s what I’m working hard to change.
If you’ve done virtually anything in the world of finance in the last few years, you know how complicated things can be. When we’re young, we’re fed cookie-cutter strategies for saving and spending—but they don’t necessarily work as well with our complicated adult lives.
It’s SO easy to get lost in this arena. And it doesn’t help that banks and financial institutions are for profit, which means they have to make sure that money is always coming through the door—and that they don’t necessarily have your best interests in mind. The industry is built on a sales structure…but that’s not what most of us need!
According to Jen, this lack of sound financial support can feel pretty widespread, and even hardcore savers have trouble making their money do what they want it to. For most of us, our money controls us, instead of the other way around. Throughout her years in the finance industry, Jen’s found that we all have bizarre psychological hang-ups that go along with our money, which makes it hard to ensure that we’re treating our money like a tool.
That’s why Jen has such a strong passion when it comes to women and money. Dollar Divas may have started out primarily as a coaching role, but it snowballed into much more once Jen began learning how women handle money in business. Now, she helps them find smarter strategies to handle their money in more intuitive ways—and her tips are definitely worth a listen!
