3 Wealth Lessons I Learnt At Martha's Vineyard

Number one, I want to talk about my limiting beliefs that surfaced for me.

And it's one of those things where I think if you know me, you know, I'm very reflective.

Like my entire life is a science experiment.

I'm constantly being conscious of how I'm, processing my life experiences.

And so one of the things that shocked me coming back from this Martha's Vineyard vacation was the awareness of my own limiting beliefs.

I am, first of all, to be fair, I am, you know, one of those people.

I was not raised here the first 20 years of my life.

I lived in another country.

And then once I got here, I literally lived in a bubble.

I did school.

I got married.

I lived a regular, very sheltered, And one of the things as I was experiencing life here is I would hear about places like Martha's Vineyard, the Hamptons, Nantucket.

And I probably would see those places in movies, or I would read about them in novels, or I would see magazine spreads with the ultra wealthy, you know, having their experiences in those locations.

And I created a story that said, Those places are for those people.

Those places are for those people.

And those people did not include me.

Whether that was because of race, because of income bracket, because of family lineage, because of education.

You know, I'm not a Harvard grad.

You know, my family is not historically from...

even from America.

And so like, I don't have this long family history of so and so the third that went to this college, and their family has always vacationed there.

And so I created this story in my head that said, those places and those experiences are for other people, not me.

And one of the things that I realized coming home from the vacation, okay, so now been there did that, And I'm coming home and I thought to myself, where else are you doing this? Where else are you not even giving you Tasha the chance to experience wealth? Where else have you created a story that that level of wealth is for other people, those experiences for other people and not you and literally taking yourself out of the game.

Like you can't win the game if you're not even playing it, if you don't even put yourself in the game.

And so it was an eye opener for me coming home because it, it was some, it's something that could have just gone by and I could have not realized, but I thought to myself, why have I not been here before? You know? And the answer was because you never thought you belonged.
