People ask me all the time how I created an investment plan that I have been able to stick to for decades.

The answer is...it's much more simple than you think.

It sounds difficult. And the first step—actually making the investment plan—is always the hardest.

There are a few crucial parts of an investment plan that many people don't think about. But you don't have to put it together alone. We can do this together!

Have you ever heard of the "Costco Effect?"

My husband does not care for wasting food. It makes him irate when we have to throw food out without using it. So when we buy produce in bulk at Costco and don't use it, it's a problem...

Yet, we keep going back.

Why is this? Why do we keep bringing home so much and never using it?

Because it feels more cost-effective.

Even if we're getting too much for us to actually use, it feels cheaper than getting only as much as we WILL use at a different store.

How does this connect to investing? Let me explain...

What if I told you that your passion may actually be the greatest detriment to convincing others to try something new?

Passion is a beautiful phenomenon. It fuels us with excitement for the things that we love...in my case, investing.

But there was a problem: I was SO passionate about investing that I would insist to everyone that they needed to start...and when they didn't follow my advice, I would shame them for it.

This drove many people away from me in my early days of investing. But now, I've learned a better method...and I'm going to share it with you!

Did that episode title surprise you? Here's the story behind it:

We all have BS stories that we tell ourselves—about what we're capable of, what we're allowed to do, and what we can spend money on.

Our money beliefs get ingrained in our psyches as early as childhood. But that doesn't mean we have to keep those beliefs.

We can change the stories we tell ourselves. But it all starts with figuring out what those stories ARE.

I just recently learned about a principle that has both fascinated and excited me as an investor, as a financial expert, and as a Muslim woman: the Pareto principle.

The Pareto principle states that 20% of causes create 80% of consequences; for example, in the technology sector, if you fix 20% of bugs in a particular software, you'll see 80% of the glitches disappear.

I sat with this for a time and thought about it in the context of the principle of zakat, or charity, in Islam. At first, you might not see how the two connect...but when you see what I saw, you'll be amazed by the connection!

This week, I want to discuss the concept of Raouf and how it applies to our financial lives.

A Raouf is a person who has empathy—a person who listens to understand, not to respond.

If you want to educate somebody, being a Raouf is important, because listening skills and empathy are key to understanding how to teach someone.

This is why I strive for this quality myself. When I work with people to begin investing, there is often some trepidation they need to work through. For me to successfully walk them through that, I need to be able to listen and help them get to the bottom of those fears.

However, if they can't answer my questions themselves, this process can be difficult...which is why I have a new resource coming out to help them find those answers!

Last month, I shared with you about the importance of estate planning.

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala did not leave the matters of inheritance to human interpretation.

Islamic law of inheritance is coded as law in the Holy Qur'an and in Surah An-Nisa. That underscores the importance of matters of money when a person dies.

And yet...most of us have neglected to create and organize our estate plans. Partly because it can be a confusing, difficult process to navigate!

So today, I have brought on a guest to clarify some of the details of estate planning: estate-planning attorney and probate attorney Jen Gumbel!

Jen is very familiar with both Islamic laws for inheritance and the legal intricacies that come with estate planning. I believe you are going to benefit greatly from the information she has to share!

What is "FinStorm" and how can it help you plan your financial goals for the year?

"FinStorm" is short for financial brainstorm, and it's what I call the time I set aside at the beginning of the year to plan out everything I want to do over the next twelve months that will cost me money...and what I have to do in order to achieve those things.

The best part? It only takes THIRTY MINUTES to complete. THIRTY MINUTES of your time to ensure that you have an actionable plan for achieving your goals for this upcoming year.

Let me explain how you do it...
