One of the most interesting parts of my journey ha

One of the most interesting parts of my journey has been proving that anyone can change their life around & become their most fearless self, regardless of what they’ve experienced in their life.

I hosted a discussion with two friends of mine @danapbrownlee (who profiled me in FORBES multiple times) @illanaraia about how to get in front of media like I have on my own! I’ve gotten myself on shows like TODAY, KTLA & more just by being fearless enough to introduce myself + never take no for an answer 😉

Here are some secret tips from Dana for pitching & getting stories on yourself:

💯 Lead with the compelling idea, not your bio
💯 Include an image that relates directly to your content
💯 Find a trendy news peg (e.g. tie your story to something in the news)
💯 Suggest possible headlines
💯 Include compelling or surprising stats (and link to sources)
💯 Pitch broadly instead of hounding one or two poor journalists (most are inundated)
💯 Have tough skin - just because you don't get a response doesn't mean it isn't a great story; the timing may just be bad

I posted on my story about something I did that many of you replied to with questions about 🥸 when you hear the word “bankrupt”, what do you think? You probably think something bad is happening financially to someone, which makes sense! In California alone, 10% of businesses file for bankruptcy. When you file for bankruptcy, credit cards don’t always get the debt you owe them, so they don’t want you to do that 💴

Pro tip: call your credit card company (I had 3 credit cards with outstanding balances of $3K plus from Chase to American Express) & tell them you’re looking into filing for bankruptcy. This WILL NOT affect your credit - you haven’t actually filed yet, so nothing to worry about. When you’re on the phone, ask them if there’s any possible way to get on a plan that would lower your monthly interest so you don’t have to file & can give them the money you owe them.

I was able to get on a plan (and not actually file, obviously) that brought down one of my cards to 3% interest instead of 16% interest, and my Citi card down to 0% interest and $80 a month. THE PERKS OF BEING FEARLESS & ASKING HARD QUESTIONS, am I right?!? #FearlessEveryday #LetsTalkMoney #FinanceTips
