This week I walked past a school and saw something that stopped me. Painted lines on the ground. Straight lines, so the kids would know exactly where to stand while they waited for school to start. One behind the other. I’ll be honest, it bothered me, because I know where that comes from. Bells that tell you when to move. Desks in rows. Raise your hand to talk. Raise your hand to use the bathroom. Line up for lunch. That system was built for the factory days. It was built to make good employees. Stay in line. Do what you’re told. Don’t ask questions. Here’s the problem. When we do that long enough, we stop being curious. We stop exploring. We start to believe the way things are is the way they have to stay. I know, because I lived it. I worked on Wall Street. I saved every penny. I did everything I was “supposed” to do and if I had kept standing in that line, I never would have walked away from my paycheck to build something of my own with Nadia. I wouldn’t be here writing you. What changed? I got curious. I started asking, “Is this really the only way?” So here’s my challenge for you this week. Look at the things you do just because “that’s how it’s always been done.” Then ask yourself: ✔️ Does this still serve me? ✔️ Has anything changed? ✔️ Is there a better way? Maybe it’s buying things on credit. Maybe it’s waiting until 65 to retire. Maybe it’s a money belief you picked up as a kid and never questioned. You don’t know what you don’t know until you go looking. Curiosity is what gets you looking. When you question an old idea, you just might find a better answer to a problem you thought you were stuck with. That’s what I want for my children and it’s what I want for you. You don’t have to stand in the line someone else painted for you. Stay curious. 💛 Nicole P.S. What’s one “line” you’ve been standing in that you’re ready to question? Drop it in the comments. 👇🏾

We used to make good money and save diligently. But our money just sat in bank accounts and retirement accounts while we watched others grow their wealth in ways we didn't understand. It sucked because we felt too embarrassed to ask for help without looking foolish while working at an investment bank. We lived through the 2001 and 2008 market crashes but, investing felt too risky for people like us because we grew up without money. But then, in business school, we learned portfolio theory. We realized most mutual funds were largely a waste of time and that we could manage our own money better ourselves. Which led us to managing our own portfolios, achieving over 22% returns, building $10K+/month in passive income through real estate and the stock market, and retiring at 34. Want to know how we did it? Reply YES and I’ll DM you the details.
