Building a Secure Tomorrow: Financial Insights from Maureen Atsiaya

One of the most profound takeaways from my recent conversation with Maureen Atsiaya on The African Power Hourwas this:

"Be firm in your financial decisions, ladies. Put yourself first, pay yourself first, and remember—80% of financial success is mindset. The other 20% is knowledge."

Maureen’s words hit home because they underscore an essential truth: financial freedom starts with YOU. It’s not just about the numbers in your account—it’s about your mindset, your willingness to learn, and your ability to prioritize yourself.

She reminded us that financial literacy isn’t something to fear. Terms like “government bonds,” “money market funds,” or “stock market” may seem overwhelming at first, but they’re tools we can all master with a little effort and curiosity. It’s about taking that first step to educate yourself, asking questions, and seeking out resources to grow your financial knowledge.

What stood out most was her call for women to be firm. Often, we hesitate to make bold financial decisions because we’ve been conditioned to second-guess ourselves. But as Maureen so powerfully put it, “Life is so much better when you have financial freedom. You can call the shots and live on your terms.”

I left this conversation inspired and determined to dig deeper into my own financial journey. I hope you do too.
