3. Creator of
Make Money
Your Honey
I am Amanda Abella and am the creator of the Make MoneyYour
Honey brand – an online community dedicated to helping
hundreds of thousands of millennials create more freedom in their
lives by means of personal finance and entrepreneurship
education.
At the end of the day, everyone wants the freedom to make their
own choices. I believe that millennials can achieve this freedom by
learning how to manage their personal finances while creating
online businesses that give them flexibility in their time and
finances.
I believe everyone can escape the status quo of uninspiring work
and tangled finances to create a life of freedom, adventure and
choice. I believe that none one needs to let money or a dead-end
job determine their life choices and I help millennials seek the
financial and time freedom they seek.
4. Who IWork
With
I work with millennials (and millennials at heart) who know they
don’t need to let social norms around finances and work drag
them down. I work with people who know there is a better way to
live and relate to the world and are willing to put in the work
required to achieve the freedom they desire.
