I would make them sort of fun and flirty, like something I looked forward to instead of something I would dread. And then that would be a time where I approached my money with curiosity, not judgment.” - Nicole Iacovoni   “In my opinion, what it means to be an expert is that you have awareness of how little you know, and how much more there is to learn. Whereas a novice thinks they know more than what they actually do.” - Nicole Iacovoni  Connect with Nicole through here website www.nicoleiacovoni.com!
