Diane Watson is an award-winning entrepreneur, leading financial advisor and best selling-author.

In this episode, Diane talks about her own path to success and how sheer determination and focus took her from humble beginnings to tremendous success in a male dominated environment.

Diane has been a practising financial planner since 1994 and grown a successful business whilst balancing family life. She understands first hand the challenges and pitfalls of being a successful female leader and also how it can feel to to show up and shine at work feeling financially secure.

With an unshakable belief in empowering women to achieve financial independence, Diane has dedicated her career to guiding individuals towards a secure and prosperous future and opens up to Nicola about some of the main pitfalls to look out for.

Through her career, Diane has seen first hand far too many women abdicate responsibility for their finances to their partners. The realisation that many women were being severely impacted by their lack of knowledge or input into shaping their financial future was the catalyst to write her book, 'She Can Prosper' and to create a whole ecosystem of events and resources around it.

This episode is packed with value and insights and if you've been sleeping on your finances, you won't want to miss it. As Diane says, 'money is a cruel mistress' who needs constant attention. Learn how to take control of your finances and your future self will be forever grateful.
