HER STORY ⟡ Emily Burnett
Today we are meeting Emily Burnett, founder of Moso Money!
HOW I STARTED:
First, I made a total mess of money in my late teens and 20s. Then I cleaned up that mess in my early 30s, paying off $50,000 in consumer debt without great deprivation and misery. It did not seem possible that, on the same income, I was able to live comfortably and make rapid progress on my debt payoff. But it was and I went from solidly stuck to making my dreams happen. My money mess has been replaced by a financially abundant life of options; shame and stress have been replaced by confidence and clarity. I am in love with helping others achieve their own amazing results by getting on purpose with their money and their lives!
WHAT IS MOSO MONEY:
Moso Money is my financial coaching and writing business. Personal finance can be so boring or intimidating, and I am on a mission to show others how happy it can be. “Moso” is a type of bamboo and is apparently one of the fastest growing bamboos. Once it reaches a height of a couple feet, it starts growing several inches in a single day! The obvious meaning is that, when you get your roots right, growth can occur incredibly fast. In 2016, I began writing and talking about the wonders of getting intentional with money with anyone who would listen, and how much you can actually love it and the results! Everyone has a money story and big dreams, and I’ve been privileged to hear many of these as I began coaching individuals and couples. I fell absolutely in love with helping other people improve their financial lives (and lives in general) from the roots up. It's magic to see how their lives improve in every way by doing so—they spend happier, stress less, and start living the life they’ve imagined!
WHAT I LOVE ABOUT OWNING A SMALL BUSINESS:
The flexibility and the opportunity to help others in very tangible ways are unbeatable. I loved parts of my corporate work, but I was solving technical challenges and wanted to instead be building my own thing and helping people live the lives they were meant to live. Running my own business, especially this business, gives me all kinds of latitude to help my clients and students in the very best ways possible, and and I love the life it makes possible for me AND those I have the privilege of helping.
HOW I STAY INSPIRED:
I stay inspired by staying in touch with clients and celebrating their wins. I also find it really inspiring to talk with women who are just considering the possibilities that their future can be different than their past. I am totally inspired by the potential for living with financial peace and confidence and excitement for every person I talk with. I also read a lot, and derive a ton of energy from networking with other entrepreneurs. And I stay inspired by time outside, my faith, spending time with family and friends, and by always remembering that there’s so much more to life than money. (That said, clearing up your money stress helps so much in enjoying life!)
HOW TO WORK WITH MOSO MONEY:
I offer 1:1 coaching on a very limited basis, and, just this month (December) am launching a digital course in order to help more women experience the life-changing benefits and fun of becoming intentional with money.
