The 12 Step Plan for Creating a Rich Life

Episode 128 of The School of Greatness with Lewis Howes · January 21, 2015

About this conversation

Just before Rich Bitch hit shelves, Nicole joined Lewis Howes on The School of Greatness, one of the top-ranked business and self-development podcasts, to walk through the thinking behind her 12-step plan for getting your financial life together.

The conversation covers the ground Rich Bitch was built on: why traditional financial advice alienates the people who need it most, how Nicole taught herself the language of money on the job as a young news anchor, and why a financial plan you actually understand beats a perfect one you ignore.

Key takeaways

  • Money has its own language, and like any language, it can be learned, nobody is born fluent.
  • A 12-step plan works because it turns an overwhelming goal ("fix my finances") into small, ordered moves.
  • Financial advice only works when it fits the life you actually want, not a spreadsheet ideal.
