#30[Video]: Tashima Jones: Building Inner Wealth, Creating Happiness & Living Your Best Life
Tashima Jones is an 7x author and life coach with a focus on inner - wealth. With experience in tech, wealth management marketing, luxury brand buying, and real estate, Tashima's lifework is to equip you with helpful tools on how to have the best of the internal world to truly enjoy external riches. One of her greatest accomplishments is finding genuine happiness. At her lowest moment (after the degree, house, luxury car, and platinum wedding ring), she discovered her true self and the right way to enjoy physical assets. She holds a bachelor's degree in business and has studied counseling and psychology on a master's level. Her coaching methods are for the individual who seems to have it all, yet still feels unfulfilled AND the person who believes that having more will bring greater contentment.
Emeka sits down with Tashima to talk about building inner wealth, creating happiness and living your best life. Tashima's debut book, Being Broke Made Me Rich, is likened to Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist and received reviews from the co-author of the New York Times best seller, The Millionaire Next Door (who happened to be her professor). As an on-air personality, personal development podcast host, and editor-in-chief, Tashima has engaged with therapists, creatives, influencers, entrepreneurs, and millionaires to verify this remarkable truth: that physical abundance does not equate happiness. Her intention is to guide you on becoming your best self so you can ultimately live your best life.
Topics:
- What is inner wealth?
- How is inner wealth built?
- What are the signs that indicates we have inner wealth?
- What is happiness?
- How can you create happiness?
- Can happiness be found in places, people or within?
- How can you live your best life?
