We recently connected with Jessica Brant and have shared our conversation below.

Jessica, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Let’s start with education – we’d love to hear your thoughts about how we can better prepare students for a more fulfilling life and career

I believe integrating financial literacy into the educational curriculum can empower students to make informed decisions about money, budgeting, and investments, setting them up for a more secure future. When I was in school I was not taught financial literacy so life experiences help me learn what and what not to do financially. It’s true that life experiences can provide valuable lessons in financial matters. However, incorporating financial literacy into education can equip individuals with essential skills and knowledge earlier on, potentially helping them avoid common pitfalls and make informed decisions from the start.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

How I got into this industry is actually very interesting. I use to sell my lunch at school and sell snacks. Little did I know that it was a school crime to sell snacks until my mom was called to the school. So I new at a young age that I was going to do something with numbers. Bring in this profession made me learn discipline at a very young age. I worked at the bank straight out of high school and I immediately took a liking to budgeting and personal finance. My clients would book appointments with me just so I could go over their budget with them. After a few years at the bank i decided to take my career in finance deeper and pursue Accounting and Bookkeeping. I worked 3 jobs while managing to go to college with 3 kids. I eventually opened my own Accounting firm. My firm has successfully help clients get out of debt, purchase homes and create several streams of income. Because of these success stories I’ve manage to write my first book and help even more people around the world budget.

How do you keep your team’s morale high?

Behind any successful business is definitely a supportive team. In order to have a good supportive team, you must be a good leader, and in order to make sure you are a good leader you must be consistent and organized and understand the fundamentals of teamwork. Some thing I’m big on is making sure my team meet weekly and engage with each other that everything is about work. You have to show your team that you genuinely care about them and their personal lives if you help your team succeed in their personal goals did the sky is the limit on what they’ll do to help you achieve your business goals.

Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?

I’ve never been a fan of social media, to be honest as it relates to marketing my business just because word of mouth had always done the trick for me. But one day, I remember one of my colleagues telling me that if I took the information I had, and spread it over social media I would Target a new audience. After hearing that, I came up with something called financial tip Tuesday where I go on social media every Tuesday and give tips on how to overcome certain financial obstacles and although I’m still building my audience, I find that it has helped people even more and gotten me a new clientele.
