Go after your goals no matter how much they scare you.

We chat with Jamila Souffrant – a podcaster, blogger, money coach and founder of JourneyToLaunch.com where she shares her journey to reach Financial Independence and helps others do the same. As a money expert who “walks her talk” she helps brave Journeyers; gain clarity around their finances and create an actionable plan to reach their goals.

Because of her money habits, Jamila and her husband saved $169,000 in two years and are debt free besides their mortgage. She is also a mom of three young children and currently lives in New York City.

Jamila shares the details of how she was able to put her financial independence goals in motion. As a kid she didn’t have a specific career in mind but she knew she “wanted to make a lot of money and didn’t want to work for anyone.” However, after building a six-figure career in real estate investing and while pregnant with her first son, she had an epiphany during a long 4 hour commute home. This wasn’t the life she wanted. Over the next few years, she discovered the financial independence world and started creating an action plan to reach financial independence by age 40.

Jamila details the smart financial decisions she made early in her career, why she launched Journey To Launch, tips on how others can create their own financial independence action plans, steps to becoming more money conscious, and more of the challenges and successes she’s faced along her #dreamdriving path.
