About this episode

What are your financial goals for 2021? Entering into the New Year, we often talk about transforming our health, our relationships, and our careers - but what about our finances? I don't know about you, but I've been guilty of making mistakes when it comes to setting goals for income, savings, and wealth creation. Fortunately, there's no better time to change than now. 

Joining me today to talk about this is Robert Gonzalez. Robert is the founder and CEO of MyBooks.PRO, a profitability and bookkeeping company that works with individuals and entrepreneurs. I've known Robert for fifteen years, and I was his coach back in 2009 – helping him with leadership and business strategies.

During today's conversation, here's what you'll learn:

  • Tools you can use to create automatic savings and solve your budget problems.
  • The four stages of financial freedom.
