Some reflections after a few weeks ...

Just reflecting on the last few weeks and what seems to be moving me forward and thought sharing might help others in the community: 1) Setting aside an hour a day - I’ve scheduled this and sticking to it has been transformative. These hours are sometimes while I go for a run, in gym, walk or trading after work when the alarms go off. 2) I’ve watched the training and some several times - each time I hear something I missed the precious times. 3) Paper trading every signal has just boosted my confidence with strategies but also building the repetitive habits and familiarity with TradingView and Interactive Brokers - I am getting quicker, accurate and more able to see errors and self correct. 4) I’ve watched all the coaching calls - listening has helped with the language, reinforcement and answers questions I have too. 5) The 90 day planning is golden - clarity and focus is power - goals are achieved one small step at a time. 6) Back testing has helped so much - confidence with preferred funds and strategies - I now know what is likely to give me the results I’m looking for. 7) Interactive Brokers is a bit daunting - aside from trading all signals in the paper account, I watched the IBKR training on their website and it has demystified the platform a bit more adding to my confidence. 8) Filling out the tracking sheet - this made a big difference to getting familiar with funds, premiums, returns, narrowing down to what fits my objectives. 9) So like how David and Beverley share their wisdom - done in a very accessible caring kind way. I do hope this helps.

The Most Comprehensive Option Available

I knew David and the extent of his knowledge for almost 5 years beforehand, and I am so glad he decided to create this course. He is one of the best teachers I know, same goes for Beverley, and their joined experience with money, with life, and with planning is included in The Five Minute Investor. I have been on trading courses before, traded for years in small amounts, but this is a game changing experience. Starting with a basic strategy was so easy, with all the tools needed explained, no extra charges or fees, everything I needed was included... then the Financial Independence calculator blew my mind... I had no idea how quickly I could make such a big difference to my life, and to my husband's too, as it really does take 5 mins per day once you're all set up. Now if we wanted to, and we want to, we could both stop working in 3 years with these strategies and we are both in our early 40s! I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't done myself, as I'm sure many others won't, and I will say to you all go to the course, do the work on all the free resources and your mind will be blown just like mine. I got the cost of the course back within 3 months, and I have multiple strategies now to learn and practice, that will serve me and my family for decades. For me the priorities were: the weekly coaching sessions (being a coach myself and knowing it's very effective), security for me and my family, and the freedom of my own choices for the rest of my life. David and Beverley gave me all that, and now keep me on track by offering 90 Day Planning every quarter, which I find invaluable. I use the tools from 5 Minute Investor in others aspects of my life, introduce relatives to it, and would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to become an investor, or to find a passive income, or to retire early, or just to secure all they have and keep it safe and growing, or all the above. Thank you David and Beverley for creating this gem or financial knowledge.

Lisa makes budgeting and building wealth an adventure rather than a mundane...

Lisa makes budgeting and building wealth an adventure rather than a mundane anxiety inducing stress. Creating a place for every dollar before it hits the account is becoming a fun exercise. And to have a fun money account while building an emergency fund and paying down debt is such a fun concept! So grateful for the iDatemoney wealth accelerator program! Don't wait for a better time! Start now - no matter if you're broke, if you're financially stable, etc. It's worth the investment!

A Space That Changed How I See Money

I have been in a lot of spaces that talk about money, but this community feels different because it does not just give advice, it changes the way I relate to money. This space helped me look at my numbers with more courage and that alone has been a huge shift for me. I have also seen how valuable it is to be in a room where women are not hiding from their finances, but learning how to face them and take ownership of them.

This is NOT just financial strategy… and that’s exactly why it works.

This is NOT just financial strategy… and honestly, that’s exactly why it works. Lisa doesn’t just help you “manage money.” She helps you face it. For me, the biggest shift has been me no longer avoiding my debt. And that alone changed everything. I realized how much my lack of attention was actually fueling the problem. I wasn’t paying attention to what I was buying, how much it was, or even the money coming in in my favor. I was just… floating through it. Lisa doesn’t let you do that. Her approach goes deeper than numbers. The way she uses scent to anchor into the nervous system is something I’ve never experienced before. It creates this sense of calm and groundedness that makes it feel safe to actually look at your finances without having an anxiety attack or shutting down. And from there, things start to click. She helps you put into place systems that help you to clearly see what’s coming in, what’s going out with intention, and what’s been sneaking out the back door without you even realizing it. But the part I love most is that she brings the kind of tough love that doesn’t let you show up with the same excuses that have kept you stuck. Not in a harsh way… in a you’re-ready-for-more-than-this kind of way. If you’re looking for another budgeting system, this isn’t it... but if you’re ready to actually change your relationship with money and stop hiding from it… Lisa and The Smell of Money is where you start.
