Described as a trailblazer, Nancy Youssef gives the right advice if you want to conquer your money fears, master your money and find your purpose. It sounds simple, but if it’s equally frightening, energising and life-changing, then Fear Money Purpose is for you.
Nancy, who is the founder of Classic Finance and Classic Mentoring and Coaching, is an award-winning finance broker, inspiring mentor and an energetic philanthropist determined to create lasting change.
Big money fears are often faced by small business owners and entrepreneurs because it is about the fear of not making money, of not knowing what to do with the money they make or the fear of being financially responsible for staff, the fear is real.
Youssf shares her experience and insights gained from helping hundreds of people take control of their financial destiny. By thinking outside of the bank, understanding all the finance options available and taking simple daily actions to help you keep your financial goals on track, you’ll find out what life is like beyond the money fears that can hold you back from achieving your true purpose.
As a woman working in a male-dominated industry, if Youssef can succeed —anyone can. “I’m a woman, working in a male-dominated industry. I was born to immigrant parents who didn’t speak English. I never studied at university or graduated with a degree, and I didn’t have the relevant business acumen, expected of somebody in my role, when I first started out.”
“If I can go from growing up with a serious fear of money, a scarcity mindset and very little financial literacy, to running a thriving finance brokerage firm where I help others to conquer their money fears and take huge strides towards their goals – building a reputation and a business that led to me landing on Richard Branson’s Necker Island… “
While it sounds scary, it can also lead to the “most liberating, fun-filled, soul-enriching and life-changing moments of your life”.
