Does this sound like you?

"I'm tired of working!"

"I can't save any money.

I'm going to have to work forever."

"I don't know anything about the stock market."

I've been exactly where you are! Worried about money all of the time. It's time to STOP the guilt, shame and excuses. These thoughts are holding you back from saving towards financial freedom.

Program Testimonial

This program was helpful to me in staying focused on FIRE, getting out of debt AND figuring out what my needs are, so I don't indulge in buying things I don't need. I cut $400 from my monthly expenses and I'm planning for independence within the next 10 years. I tripled my savings and investing rate from 4.5% to 15%. I got so much out of this program: the transparency and brutal honesty of Dr. Kisha, her lesson plans are full of detail, her brilliant strategies to achieve FIRE, her ability to teach so well, and to provide resources for each person in the class."

Hi, I'm Dr. Kisha.

In 2017 I was a single mom after an emotional divorce. Even though my average salary was $77k over my 19 year career, I was tired of not getting ahead. I needed my money to start working for me. I didn't want to work forever and was tired of being financially insecure. I had to learn to invest my money to take advantage of 10% average annual stock market gains and compound interest.

I was new to investing, so I didn’t want to lose money or gamble, so I invested in diversified stocks to lower my risk of loss. I started with my 401k to take advantage of tax breaks. My investing was part of my budget. I let the money grow year over year and added more every time I came across a windfall like a tax return or stimulus. The stock market ride is bumpy day to day but overall it was up and I made a lot of money that I didn’t have to work for. Four years later I had accumulated $750k by sticking to my simple 3 step plan. Join the next cohort to start your plan!

Hi, I'm Dr. Kisha.

In 2017 I was a single mom after a bitter divorce. Even though my average salary was $77k over my 19 year career, I was tired of not getting ahead. I needed my money to start working for me. I didn't want to work forever and was tired of being financially insecure. I had to learn to invest my money to take advantage of 7% average annual gains and compound interest.

4 Group Coaching Calls with Dr. Kisha, retired at 41, personal finance expert and PhD in analytics.

See What My Students Have To Say

Jarlecia J.

"The biggest financial education takeaway I learned from the workshop is it is doable to retire early and FIRE. My savings and investing rate almost tripled - it jumped from 8% at the beginning of the course to 18% by the end of the four weeks. Dr. Kisha's workshop was the reality call I needed!

I never attended a workshop that shared a whole picture or step by step on how to accomplish the ultimate financial goal, retiring early.

The Wealthy Achiever program provides a methodical approach to discuss the importance of monthly budgeting to be intentional with spending to understand the complexities of IRA, Roth IRA, Brokerages, and etc. The workbook and spreadsheets provided helps keep track of debt decreasing and income/investments increasing to visually see the progress made. The overall support of Dr. Kisha and the other participants have given me the encouragement to stay on this journey of financial freedom!"

Danielle L.

"I valued the detailed recorded videos and workbook a great deal. I can reference them at any time! I now have a much better understanding of my 401k/Roth, tax deferred accounts and the importance/advantages of maxing out each. I plan to FIRE in 7-10 years! Dr. K's enthusiasm was the best part. I doubt that others are sharing this type of information in this much detail. I also like that Dr. K shared openly. Let's Gooo, Let's plan to Fire!"

Markeyta W.

"I cut my expenses down by nearly $300/month so far and now I'm investing it. Dr. Kisha definitely helped me to shift my mindset from saving to active investor!"

Heather N.

"Your Trade Stocks class and this mini movement that you've started have completely shifted the way I think about what matters and how to make the most of living."

Tonya S., Consultant

"The Budget workshop is the best workshop that I have attended and it is so worth the cost. Dr. Kisha provided so many pieces of valuable information and resources. I started right after the workshop looking at ways to cut expenses. I see me saving at least $200 a month. You don't have to setup anything unlike other workshops. The budget Google sheet is so simple to use."

David A. Weil II, J.D., M.B.A.

"I virtually attended Lakisha L. Simmons, Ph.D.'s Budget Bestie Workshop as part of her Unlikely AchieveHer Program. She cheerfully and enthusiastically furnished practical, easy-to-understand advice and simple, easy-to-use templates to empower us to competently manage our personal budgets, gain a clear line of sight as to our expenses and favorably change our behavior to spend less and save more. It is an exceptional and highly important learning experience that I highly recommend to everybody."

Domonique T.

I loved the weekly LIVE group coaching sessions! I learned so much from questions that others asked and it provided me clarity for certain topics. Learning my FIRE number and setting clear goals for actions I need to take to better manage my money, particularly investing my money, was the most impactful for me. I was able to cut 9.6% from my monthly budget. I absolutely loved The Wealthy AchieveHER program! The weekly group LIVE coaching sessions and personal check-ins to see my progress in the program was very beneficial. I recommend this for women and men who are serious about being more in control of how they manage their money to financial freedom and clarity in the actions needed to get there!

Jamie C.

I enjoyed the recorded videos. It was nice to watch them at my own pace and go back and rewatch a topic that may have not been completely clear. I also enjoyed the open discussion live calls.

I learned exactly what my FIRE number is and how long it will hopefully take me to reach that number. I also learned more about the different types of investment accounts and how much I can contribute to each of them. I'm in my mid 30's and plan to be financially independent in less than 15 years and I'm just starting! This program is a MUST!! I highly recommend it to adults of all ages. Dr. Kisha easily breaks down financial planning that can meet anyone's current financial status. Thank you Dr. Kisha! I will review the materials and videos in the course for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

*1. Is this worth the money?

The average AchieveHer reduces expenses by 10% and doubles the amount of money they are currently saving. We definitely believe you will save as much as the cost of the course if you make even a few of the many budget cuts suggested in Part 1 - Budget Bestie. Once you begin maximizing your tax deferred retirement accounts you will save money on taxes (I explain how in detail in Marry Your 401K). So, YES, it's worth the investment to learn what you don't know from someone who has done it and is a certified millionaire.

The Wealthy AchieveHer Group Coaching program (TWA) has weekly access to Dr. Kisha's wisdom and presence through our virtual meetings.I offer coaching in 50 minute sessions for $125 where I can coach you on your specific situation. TWA consists of four small group coaching sessions of 60-90 minutes each (valued at $900) with additional one to one sessions with each participant as needed. The FIRE program consists of a curriculum (overhaul your budget, retirement account analysis, amount needed for retirement, investing strategies, etc), videos, four coaching calls as described above and a complete financial freedom plan by the end of the program! We believe you will see that the information is worth more than the cost of admission.

2. How long before I make money trading?

There are no guarantees in the stock market. Past performance doesn't predict the future. This is an educational course. Dr. Kisha personally uses a buy and hold strategy as a long term investor. You will create your own strategy and it may be different, but either way you can make money and lose money. This course teaches you the FIRE strategy of investing for the best diversification strategy to ride out the choppy stock market. It's how Dr. Kisha accumulated her wealth as featured in Black Enterprise. But, many achieveHers double their savings and investing percentage rate by the end of the course before investing in the stock market on their own with Dr. Kisha's saving strategies!

3. How do I know if it will work for me?

Cutting expenses, investing in your 401k and investing in the stock market are no brainers! The problem is that many people just don't know what they don't know. That is likely where you are. I'll explain things you never knew were even an option for you. For example, teachers, law enforcement, doctors and other service occupations have access to 457b accounts which are deferred compensation. These tax-deferred accounts are accessible to tap anytime. Let me show you how to build wealth, step by step!

4. How long does it take to complete the course?

You have lifetime access to enjoy hours of quality video recorded content to walk you through how to create your financial freedom plan. Not to mention a complete introduction to the stock market! The videos were recorded with a class so you also get the benefit of hearing the questions and answers of others who are in the course!

5. When does the class begin?

The next Group Coaching cohort will begin the program on May 1, 2023. The group coaching will end on May 29, 2023 but your access to the materials is ongoing. Join us before registration ends and the doors close!

6. Is anyone in the group expected to disclose any of their personal financial information to the group?

This is a safe space to share. However, there is no expectation that you share any personal information at all. It's unnecessary to share any personal information to the group or the facilitator. But feel free to ask questions about your situation keeping in mind this is not financial advice, only education.

7. What is the duration of the live virtual meeting? When are the meetings?

The 60 minute virtual meetings will be during the weekdays in the evenings for those only in the 4-week group coaching program. We will meet for group coaching on Thursdays from 6pm-7pm CST May 2, 9, 16 and 23rd. However, the weekly meeting will be recorded so that those who can not make the meeting can stay on track.

8. The rest of the content is mostly videos and worksheets that we would do on our own, correct?

The program consists of the following expectations each week: watch a prerecorded workshop video before we meet (approximately 90 minutes), complete financial worksheets from the workbook, and three total group coaching calls (60 minutes).
