Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: Legacy by Design.
[1:41] – Jenia shares something that she believes about becoming successful that most people disagree with.
- Numbers are easy and taxes are fun because it is a privilege when you are in business. When you have that mindset, you are unstoppable.
[3:14] – Jenia talks about how she earn the title “Tax Saving Game Changer.”
- When she started her career in accounting and taxes, she would help her friends and clients to prepare their tax returns and all of them will come back to her and tell her she saved their life and they look at taxes differently and called her their “tax girl.” She’s been carrying that title until an interview with Forbes Riley who was a good friend of hers. She looked at her and told her that she is more than just a ‘tax girl’ but she is a game changer because she changed their mindset about taxes and she gave her the title the “Tax Saving Game Changer.”
- She deeply internalized it and it became her mission to create that amazing future for everyone – The Legacy by Design book.
[5:53] – Jenia talks about what inspired her to write Legacy by Design.
- It just hit her one day that its time for her to start doing something bigger, brave and bold. Legacy by Design is how to shift your mindset on taxes and build your legacy. Its her personal journey on how at a young age of 14 she was asked the important question “when you grow up, what do you want to do?” Her answer was to learn English and live somewhere else.
- When she wrote the book, she looked back at every important decision she had done in her life and that everytime she makes a decision , she got it and her life changed.
- The idea of the book is there are a lot of things we don’t have control of and the only thing we have control is our thoughts that produce feelings and moves us to take action.
- She invites us to think good thoughts because it will make us feel better and actions will come.
- Stop everything you are doing and decide that this universe is a friendly universe and that taxes is a privilege of being in business and that the only thing you got to do is to know the rules. Decide that for your business so that you can have a legacy and that you can live it.

[14:18] – Jenia talks about the ABC Blueprint and how does it help entrepreneurs achieve financial freedom.
- A stands for Accountable with your accounting because it is the key. Financials are the same year after year. You should have the ability to manage and keep track of it. Decide to hold of your finances.
- B stands for Be Prepared. Taxes are scheduled so you can get ready and submit your financials on time. If you are paying taxes, it means your business is generating income. When you are paying taxes, you feed the golden goose that gives you the golden egg and when you support the economies around you, you are making a difference.
- C stands for Change. Once your numbers are good and you follow the tax return, everything is clear and you are good . You are the game changer breaking that curse and teaching your children to be responsible and accountable to be a game changer and a legacy builder in their lives as well.
[19:46] – Jenia talks about how she help women entrepreneurs overcome scarcity mindsets and limiting beliefs around money.
- She’s been there. Women only have 2 options, to be scared or to do some research or find someone who can help them get out of that mindset that it is not going to work.
- Step 1 is just freeze and think that you are amazing.
- Step 2 is to make a choice , to grow your baby healthy or with dirty diapers.
- We can’t control anything but only our thoughts and actions. If we apply the ABC Blueprint , its going to take us to the next level of what we dream of.
