Nola Mason - More than just numbers, her drive to create a meaningful impact
Once upon a time in the small town of Hermanus, Nola, a dedicated woman with a passion for clay bricks, found herself immersed in the family business.
Running a clay brick factory in Bot River, she navigated the dusty, labor-intensive world with a staff of 60, driven by her love for both bricks and the people who made them.
However, Nola's journey wasn't just about bricks. Her personal life, sprinkled with feline companionship and the love of her life, James, added depth to her story. Yet, financial challenges loomed large, and Nola found herself at a crossroads, yearning for a change.
Challenges came knocking, with financial woes intensifying, especially during the tumultuous year of floods in the Western Cape.

Nola faced a choice—succumb to the difficulties or take control. It was during this pivotal moment that she stumbled upon an advert that would alter the course of her financial destiny—the Wealth Chef.
Nola, a lover of finances and a seeker of good deals, connected with Ann's message. It wasn't about quick fixes or overnight success; it was about taking control and becoming the master of her own financial fate. Inspired by Ann's teachings, Nola embarked on her journey with determination and a newfound perspective.
Her first step was to start a retirement annuity, a small yet significant move. The obsession to maximize its benefits led her to a realization—diversification. Following Ann's guidance, she split her investments, delving into both the retirement annuity and EasyEquities, laying the foundation for her wealth.
As her journey unfolded, Nola embraced a series of transformative moments. She gained the confidence to shed financial burdens—canceling life insurance, disease policies, and unnecessary expenses. The extra money flowed into buying assets, building a more secure future.
Navigating through rough times became easier, thanks to the reserves she had built. Nola's care for her staff and her commitment to keeping the brick factory afloat became a testament to her resilience and financial wisdom.
Gratitude became Nola's guiding light, as she learned to appreciate the simple things in life. The concept of "wealth pie" resonated deeply, helping her achieve balance and tick all the boxes without feeling deprived.
One of the most impactful lessons came in the form of rejection. Ann encouraged Nola to seek out rejection, turning it into a powerful tool for growth. With newfound resilience, Nola successfully raised funds for her feline friends, surpassing her initial goal.
In the end, Nola's journey with the Wealth Chef wasn't just about financial gains; it was a journey of self-love and acceptance. Ann's teachings empowered her to prioritize herself, ultimately leading to a richer and more fulfilling life.
Nola's story is a testament to the transformative power of financial education and the journey
toward true wealth—a journey that goes beyond monetary gains, embracing gratitude, balance, and self-discovery.
