   How Do You Do Wealth? The Mindset Shift From Debt Payoff to Wealth Building | Lisa Y. Jones

   What does it actually mean to build wealth? And is the mindset required to get out of debt the same mindset required to create and sustain wealth? On this episode of Finance, Fitness & Finesse (F3), JaeVic sits down with Lisa Y. Jones, faith-based wealth strategist and author of Financial Seasons, to talk about the mindset, emotions, and financial behaviors behind debt payoff and wealth building. Lisa and her husband paid off more than $300,000 of debt, but their financial story does not stop at becoming debt-free. This conversation explores the shift from focusing on getting out of debt to learning how to build wealth.

Learn In This Episode • The mindset difference between getting out of debt and building wealth• What paying off more than $300,000 of debt can teach us about financial behavior• How money and emotions influence the way we approach financial goals• What it means to ask, “How do you do wealth?”• Why your financial strategy can change as your financial season changes About the Guest Lisa Y.
