One of my biggest values in both my life and my career is FREEDOM.After getting my degree in Tourism Sciences and working in a corporate job 60-80 hours with very little freedom or flexibility in my schedule, I shifted gears and decided to start my own business. As an Independent Consultant and National Vice President with Arbonne, a plant-based wellness company that is a certified B Corporation, I have been able live out my values of flexibility and total autonomy with when and how I work, while also making a positive impact through offering more health and choices to others.Because of the choices I created for my own life, I pursued a dream career as a Multi-Media Travel Journalist in 2012-2016. Traveling internationally 250-280 days a year, I wrote and produced video and social media content for various brands and media outlets.Now, as a mother of 2 young kids, I have spent time thinking about not only what I want to provide to my children in the way of opportunities and experiences, but what I want to TEACH them about success and money.That led me down the path of learning about investing, tax strategy and how to build a tax-free retirement. Most of us, if we have been taught anything about money, have learned how to budget and save- but not how to invest our money and grow it in a way that is diversified beyond the stock market. Now, as a business owner with Mod Financial and through my platform @smartinvestormama, I am bringing a feminine approach to financial planning - one that is based around connection, trust, education and empowerment. My mission is to make a massive impact and ripple effect on women and families through financial literacy.Here are a few things I can help you with:* Creating a tax-free retirement and strategy that will help you build security both now and in the future* Helping you diversify your money beyond the market, so you have access to market-linked gains but without market losses * Private Reserve Account- the ability to be your own bank* Creating a Personal Pension Plan based on your needs* Diversifying your portfolio into tangible assets like land, where you can experience growth in a different asset class without the volatility of the market. You can participate for as little as $40K and use existing investments such as a 401K or IRA.I am here to help not only with solutions, but with an education-based approach that helps you to feel confident and empowered in planning for your own future.Send me an email at ashley@modfinancial.com - I look forward to connecting with you!
