On January 19, 2014, I had a tremendous light bulb moment while watching the Suzy Orman show.  On January 20, 2014, the light bulb switched to the on position after attending a community discussion on income inequality. That epiphany manifested itself into a blog adeptly named Education and Action – Improving Financial Literacy and Teaching Wealth Building Principles.

As a Certified Public Accountant and Small Business Tax Advisor, I am extremely passionate about matters of financial literacy and economic development.  For years, I have remained on the sideline instead of getting into the game and doing my part.  Well that has changed and I realize that is up to people like me who have the knowledge to use it to improve literacy in this area and to bridge the wealth gap between the Haves and the Have Nots.  For 2014, I vowed to teach one lesson each day for the balance of the year and I have been doing my best to stick with that goal.

The purpose of the Education and Action blog is to provide ERA or Education, Resources and Action steps to help you put the information provided in each daily lesson into practice.

 

To begin, it was critical to help you see YOUR FUTURE expressed in a journey or your path to financial freedom.  The path that I am attempting to illuminate for you is the wealth- building continuum, as expressed in the following flow chart.

 

Over the past 50 days, I have been teaching on Step 1 – Creating and Developing Assets.  It is important that we build a firm foundation to help you pursue your financial goals.   On Fridays, I turn my attention to the kids and teaching them valuable financial lessons that they will need to know to live a life of abundance.  Saturdays are about encouraging you to keep your eye on the prize and Sundays are  to reflect on the week’s lessons.

I hope that you will take some time to join the blog and take advantage of this free information.  This is my way to give back all that God has given to me. I appreciate your questions and feedback.
