Welcome to Episode 227 of Building My Legacy.

In this podcast we talk with bestselling author and wealth management advisor Kim Curtis who is the president and CEO of Wealth Legacy Institute. Kim shares with us how she rewrote her own financial story in a different way and then set out to become that story. We also learn the biggest mistakes people make in money management. “How you do money is how you do life,” Kim explains, as she tells us why you can have all the money in the world and still have a failed retirement because “no amount of money can create an extraordinary life.”

So if you want to know:

  • The three financial pillars of success
  • How mindset is the primary obstacle to long-term success
  • Why you need a financial plan before you start to invest
  • How to determine if your financial planner is a fiduciary — and why this is so important
  • Why managing yourself and your money is easier when you’re “in the flow”
