You’ve been told you can’t build wealth as an immigrant.

LET’S PROVE THEM WRONG.

Far too many immigrants have been led to believe that building wealth isn’t for them—but it’s time to break free from those limiting beliefs. 💪🏿💪🏾💪💪🏻💪🏽

In this episode, we dive into the critical turning point every immigrant must experience to truly step into financial freedom: claiming your financial POWER.

For over 8 years in Immigrant Finance, we’ve guided hundreds of immigrants to become investors and wealth builders, no matter their immigration status or background.

And here’s the key we’ve discovered: making the intentional decision to take ownership of your financial future changes everything.

IMAGINE…
✨ Being the first in your family to invest, build wealth, and create a secure financial future—despite the odds stacked against you and being told it's not possible.
✨ Gaining confidence, peace of mind, and the ability to help your family thrive, no matter what the immigration laws say or who is president.

THIS is the power of claiming your financial power.

In this episode, we decided to share one of the private trainings from Immigrant Finance School® walking our students through how to break free and FINALLY claim financial power, so you can take steps toward a secure financial future, too.

It’s time to rewrite the story. Let’s build wealth—together.

Change leaders and healers often feel resistance to sales because, deep down, it seems like wanting more money conflicts with our heart, values, and mission.

We care deeply about helping others, so the idea of “selling” can feel misaligned. But this resistance can lead to a much bigger challenge: selling too little—or not at all—which means not earning enough to sustain ourselves and the impact we’re here to create.

In this episode, I share my personal journey of transforming my relationship with sales. I went from feeling afraid to sell and guilty for wanting to make more money to building a six-figure changemaker brand that’s helped hundreds of people.

When sales become a natural and aligned expression of your mission, everything changes.

Let’s continue the conversation—what’s your biggest struggle with selling? Send me a message on Instagram @adinaappelbaum.

Let’s build your Changemaker Brand and make the impact you are meant for!

We have entered a new era

Societal institutions, systems, and structures

as we know them,

are crumbling

We need the world’s next leaders

to recreate, and rebuild

A new, more welcoming world

One we have never seen before

One that is arriving

From death, comes birth

From labor pain, comes life

From nothing, comes everything

These leaders will be those who have always thought differently —

By design,

or even no choice of their own:

The visionaries,

Born to dream of and see in their mind’s eye all that is possible

The entrepreneurs,

Wired to create innovation and make the impossible real

The immigrants,

Steeped in experiencing different cultures, languages, and perspectives,

all at the same time

Who know deeply, that there cannot be just one way

This is the moment of our lifetime

This is when heroes are created

We face hate, fear, and terror

Human rights abuses at massive scale

Families and hearts, ripped apart

Destruction,

The fall of Rome.

We also, have the opportunity to reimagine.

Rebirth.

Rebuild.

Renaissance.

But first,

A revolution.

Through resistance.

Activism.

Actively answering a call to action.

Through community,

Choosing JOY,

Ruling, collectively,

With shared purpose,

in harmony

Together, our power will always be stronger

Saying NO

Claiming equal rights for ALL

Fighting for each other,

Person by person.

There’s no more room for waiting

No one is coming

We must envision,

demand,

create

freedom,

justice,

and equality

With shared purpose,

Collaboration,

And in unity

As an orchestra,

A SYMPHONY.

Together, translating vision

into reality

Leveraging new technology,

Innovation,

And equal rights,

legally

Coming together

Protecting our planet,

Our neighbors

Building a welcoming community

From dusk comes dawn

From death comes rebirth

From nothing comes everything

From here, comes SYNARCHY
