Adopting an Investor Mindset with Tess Waresmith

Keep What You Earn

Are you ready to start thinking like an investor? In today's episode, we're joined by special guest Tess Waresmith, an investing educator and founder of Wealth with Tess. Tess is on a mission to empower people, especially women, to take control of their finances through simple investing strategies.

Tess shares her personal journey of overcoming costly investing mistakes made in her 20s that stemmed from blindly trusting a financial advisor without really understanding how her money was being invested. This negative experience fueled her passion to educate others so they can grow their wealth and avoid similar pitfalls.

Shannon and Tess dive into the importance of gaining a basic financial education, even if you eventually want to outsource your investing to professionals. They discuss the power of identifying as an investor and adopting an ownership mentality from a young age.

Tess is an investing educator and founder of Wealth with Tess, a financial education community that helps millennial female founders in their 30’s and 40’s, learn how to grow their money using simple stock market investing strategies so that they can retire comfortably and live life on their terms.

After losing thousands in investing mistakes in her 20’s, Tess learned everything she could about wealth building and used simple investing strategies to build her net worth from 0 to over 1 million by 35 as a single woman. Tess’s story and business was recently featured on Business Insider.

Now she’s helped thousands of women take control of their money and learn how to invest (even if you’re short-on-time or a total newbie investor). Thousands of women have attended her free investing workshops, hundreds of women have joined her online beginner investing program, and she regularly shares simple money and investing tips on Instagram at @wealthwithtess so be sure to give her a follow there.
