At Rock Paper Coin, we believe money conversations should be honest, empowering, and judgment-free—especially for business owners navigating the ever-changing world of entrepreneurship. That’s why we created MoneyTalks, a webinar series designed to bring real financial stories and smart strategies to the forefront.
In our latest session, Katie Mast sat down with Twah Dougherty—luxury photographer, educator, and financial mindset coach—for a raw and refreshing conversation about building generational wealth, breaking free from limiting beliefs, and redefining your relationship with money.
Key takeaways from our conversation:
- Get curious about your money story. The beliefs you grew up with—like “money is tight” or “people like me don’t get rich”—can shape how you approach your finances today. Start by identifying those old narratives so you can begin rewriting them on your own terms.
- Avoid the “ignorance tax.” Not knowing the basics—like how to negotiate, track deductions, or ask for better rates—can cost you more than you think. Invest in financial education, even if it’s just asking more questions or hiring a pro to guide you.
- Shift into a wealth mindset. Building wealth starts with how you think and act. Twah’s daily “millionaire walks” and abundance mantras are one way she rewires her mindset. She also recommends being mindful of habits that sabotage growth (like spending to look successful) and outsourcing the tasks that drain your energy.
- Treat money like a tool, not a stressor. Clarity leads to confidence. Track what’s coming in and going out, set clear financial goals, and stop avoiding your numbers. When you understand your finances, you’re better equipped to make aligned, strategic decisions.
Whether you’re just starting your business or years into it, there’s always room to grow. Money doesn’t have to feel mysterious or intimidating—and it certainly shouldn’t be off-limits in your conversations.
By being intentional, staying open to learning, and surrounding yourself with the right support, you can define success and wealth on your own terms.
