We might have all these dreams, aspirations and plans about what we want to pursue in the next phase of our lives after graduating from school, college or university. On the other hand, our parents, guardians or loved ones might be planning to have us do something else. Consequently, a time will come were you will need to help your parents understand your dreams so that y'all are on the same page when the time comes for you to pursue your dreams as you need all the help and support you can get as you navigate the real world. Unfortunately, this might be a rather difficult conversation to have for some of us. In this episode, I share some actionable tips on how you can effectively do that. The following are the main points I talk about:How to start the conversation with your parents, guardians and loved ones about your dreamsWhat to do if you can't have the conversation with themIf you're allowed to pursue your dreams what next?Why it's important that you try just a little harder to convince them so they can allow you to go aheadWhat if they still don't allow you to chase your dreams? Find us on the socials👉https://linktr.ee/theschoolleaversroadmap

Merry Christmas y'all 🎄❄🤶I believe financial independence is something that a lot of us would want to achieve as we navigate the real world. In today's day and age where we have tones of information on the internet and technology advancements skyrocketing at the speed of light, you might think we have all the tools necessary to achieve our financial goals, which we actually do but for some reason, for most of us achieving our financial goals has become harder. In this episode, I talk about one of the reasons I think this is happening and what you can do about it. Enjoy ✌✌Find us on the socials👉https://linktr.ee/theschoolleaversroadmap
