Improve Your Finances with Stevon Lewis
Ever wonder what people actually do to improve their finances? My guest today is Stevon Lewis, a Marriage and Family Therapist in South Bay, CA. Stevon shares how he increased his financial literacy personally and professionally. Tune in as he shares how he’s messing up the status quo in the therapy world when it comes to money, and how he sees other successful therapists as inspiration instead of competition.
Three Takeaways from Stevon
Leave things better than you found them
Whether this is addressing your financial life or taking a look at policies, think about things that need improvement when it comes to money. How can you leave things better than you found them?
Address your imposter syndrome
I could not bring Stevon on without getting his take on tackling imposter syndrome and how it might show up in our relationship with money. He shared that having good mastery over money helps to dial down the incorrect worry or feelings of imposter syndrome about “not getting money.”
Finding inspiration from others
When you see people doing things in a different way, rather than jump to, “Why can’t I do that?” Stevon encourages you to ask, “What do I need to do to get there?” People who are doing well aren’t our competition, rather, we can see them as inspiration for the financial goals that are possible.
