About

Hi! I’m Linda P. Jones

Are you ready to get your money working harder for you, so you don’t have to work so hard?

My burning desire for financial freedom led me to focus on compounding my money and growing my investment account to $2 million at age 39. Today, it’s my personal mission to make investing easier to understand and implement, so women (and smart men) worldwide can also attain financial freedom.

When I was a young girl, I wondered, why are some people rich and how did they get that way? Growing up in a middle class family, the youngest of 5 kids, on Mercer Island, WA (a Seattle suburb), many wealthy families lived nearby, some even on the Forbes 400 list.

I wanted to have abundance and live life without any limitations (who doesn’t?). I wanted to travel, see the world and experience life to the fullest.

At 10 years old, my dad gave me a copy of Think and Grow Rich, which taught me how a wealthy mindset played a role in wealth building. It was a start, but there was much more to learn. I wanted to know everything about how money worked, so I read and studied everything I could.

THE PATH TO WALL STREET

After Mercer Island High School, I graduated from the University of Washington (go Huskies!) with a B.A. in Business and was hired by a national stock brokerage firm in Financial Planning. I worked my way up to regional mutual fund headquarters in San Francisco and national headquarters in NYC on Wall Street.

During my corporate career, I was responsible for management and sales of premier money managers in the Western U.S.  Due to my personal investing success, I was able to retire early from one of the largest Wall Street investment firms.

MY INVESTMENTS GROW INTO MILLIONS

While still searching for answers about wealth building and investing, I realized there were 6 Steps to Wealth and the Wealth Building Formula was McT (Money x compounding x Time). I started managing my own money, growing my investment portfolio to $2 million.

Six years later, my husband passed away suddenly from a brain aneurysm. I realized that many women will outlive their husbands, yet may not have been involved in handling the investments. I decided to make it my life’s mission to teach women (and smart men) to invest so they could achieve financial freedom, no matter how much or how little money they are starting with.

AN ENTREPRENEUR EMERGES

I started my wealth mentoring business, Be Wealthy & Smart with live events and a women’s wealth building mastermind. This picture is from one of my events in Scottsdale, AZ.

While exclusive live events and masterminds were exciting, fun and rewarding to offer, I wanted to make a greater impact and reach a worldwide audience, so I moved my business online. My Be Wealthy & Smart VIP Experience members join once and have lifetime access, learn from monthly webinars with me where they are updated about the stock market and our investments, have asset allocated portfolios, are given the finest education about investing, and are saved from having to pay any management fees, which can add up to thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars over their lifetime.

THE BE WEALTHY & SMART PODCAST SOARS

That’s how the Be Wealthy & Smart podcast  and the VIP Experience began. The podcast has over 1400 episodes, 10 million downloads, is in the top 1% of podcasts globally and is heard in 181 countries. I consider it a Wealth Mentoring Library for financial freedom.

The Be Wealthy & Smart podcast hit #1 in Business/Investing podcasts in the U.S. in 2019 and has been named to lists such as:

“Top 10 Finance Podcasts”

“Top 11 Personal Finance Podcasts in Australia,” (as co-host of the Money Tree Investing podcast)

“The Best Money Talk Podcasts by Women”

“Top 5 Personal Finance Podcasters on the Internet”

CRYPTO INVESTING BOOK

My second book, 3 Steps to Quantum Wealth: The Wealth Heiress’ Guide to Financial Freedom by Investing in Cryptocurrencies was published and was an international best-seller in the U.S., Australia and Canada. When I realized a technological revolution I call “The Quantum Age” would create trillions of dollars of new wealth, I had to write a book about it and let you know! You will learn how to shave decades off the time it takes for investing success by potentially earning some of the highest compounding rates ever in history.

THE WEALTH HEIRESS BOOK

In September 2018 my first book, You’re Already a Wealth Heiress, Now Think and Act Like One: 6 Practical Steps to Make it a Reality Now, was published by Post Hill Press.

The book shows step-by-step what to do for financial freedom and includes a Millionaire Action Plan (MAP), a Wealth Heiress checklist, and is chock-full of inspirational stories of women who overcame obstacles and achieved success (men love it too).

You’re Already a Wealth Heiress has been repeatedly named to the list of “Best Wealth Books of All Time” by BookAuthority.

I’ve been featured on Forbes.com, Woman’s Day, Business Insider, Men’s Health, FOX, BRAVO and other TV and publications.

FUN FACTS

I live in Rancho Mirage, CA and Seattle, WA.

I have a pocket beagle named Penny, love investing, classic cars, fine dining, art, and traveling, especially going on cruises. I love the ease of traveling on ships. You unpack once, have lots of choices for restaurants and activities, and it’s like the destination cities come to you.

That’s why I was enthusiastic when I was invited to charter a private yacht with my friends on Bravo TV’s  Below Deck Mediterranean in Greece and on Below Deck in Tahiti. They were an amazing experience and I still laugh at the fun of the episodes we were on today.
