MONEY STRESS → MONEY CONFIDENCE

I've walked the path from financial stress and survival mode to financial confidence.

I know what it's like to feel financially insecure living in constant stress.

I understand the frustration of working hard,

but not seeing real progress in building your wealth.

MONEY = STRESS & TRAUMA

I grew up in a family with 5 kids where money was always the biggest source of stress.

90% of the arguments in our family were about money.

(Even on Christmas Eve, my parents were always arguing about money...)

"WORK HARD"

From the age of 15, I always worked very hard.

I understood very early as a kid that if I want to get something

– I simply have to earn it.

(Even as a 15 years old kid, I always had 2 summer jobs...)

"GET A DEGREE"

Later on, I studied at the University of Economics and Business in Prague

(hoping that the university would teach me the strategies how to master the money game...)

At the same time, I started to work at a bank

(naively believing that corporate life in the capital city would finally fix my money situation...)

"MOVE ABROAD"

After that, I moved to the USA and later to Norway.

I was working 2 full-time jobs for more than 6 months.

Up to 14 hours a day.

No days off.

(Trying to finally make some progress in the "richest" countries in the world...)

"WORK HARD"

For so many years,

I couldn't understand why my education and my "career success"

weren't enough to significantly improve my financial situation...

After 29 years of living in survival mode,

I finally understood – hard work alone will not make me rich.
