SUCCESS STORIES
“Bernadette helped me figure out my retirement number. It’s not as daunting as I initially thought. I once thought that I needed to work until 65 because I needed a pension to retire, and now, I plan to retire from my nine to five while I’m still young-ish. I’m still pinching myself. This doesn’t feel real.”

“Bernadette has opened my eyes to the concept of true freedom. Not just more time or more money…but being “work optional.” She is walking that walk and making me realize it’s possible for me as well. Growing my team and creating passive income streams is now a priority so that I can have true 100 percent freedom in my life.”
