Today’s guest is Rana Campbell. Rana recently transitioned from her 9 to 5 job to become an entrepreneur. She is the woman behind the Dreams in Drive podcast and website where you can find the encouragement, motivation, and steps you need to start living your dream life.
Rana’s story is a bit different than many that we have had on the podcast in the past. She hasn’t been a professional athlete and she hasn’t had to dig herself out of a huge hole of debt. And, she wasn’t raised in a home where she had to worry about having the necessities that she needed.
Instead, her parents set for her the example of hard work and the value of a dollar. She was taught the importance of putting money in the bank and why you should save money for the things you want instead of using credit cards to buy them now. However, these strong and important lessons actually created money blocks in her mind that she has had to overcome in order to pursue her dream and run her business.
Today Rana will share with us more about the lessons that she learned about money as a child that helped set up her for success in life, even if she didn’t understand them at the time.
In This Episode We Discuss:
- The importance of understanding the financial aid packages offered at different colleges.
- That it is okay to spend money when you do it within reason
- The difference between saving money and building wealth.
- The importance of knowing when you need to spend money in order to keep improving yourself or your business.

Setting something aside for a specific purpose. It’s important to give your dollars a job. Some should be saved in a saving account. Some should be invested. Some should be in your retirement plan and of course, you have a spend a little. If you don’t tell your money where to go, you will be wondering where it went. When you give your money a job you can make it literally work for you.
