YOUR MONEY MINDSET COACHES MICHAEL AND ROBBIE MATHEWS BY RENE WATSON
“We can show you how to Totally Change Your Life, Financially, so you can Stay Debt-Free, Spend Guilt-Free and Live Financially-Free.” Michael and Robbie are successful global entrepreneurs, engaging international speakers, money mindset coaches, certified life accountability coaches, real estate investors, and authors of their self-published book titled Financially Speaking: The Best Improvement Starts with Self-Improvement-Create Your Own Economic Stimulus Plan. They are the co-founders of THE MATHEWS ENTREPRENEUR GROUP (TMEG), a company established in 2007 in the United States. It is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. TMEG specializes in personal financial literacy education, coaching and accountability. Michael is the CEO and Robbie is the President. They believe their role in this world is to “motivate, inspire and empower people to Totally Change Their Life, Financially. We want to change how people “Think, Act and Feel” about their money and to provide them with the knowledge and skills needed to take control of their personal finances.”They developed seven “You Can Be W.E.A.L.T.H.Y.©” principles that are designed to inspire and teach their clients how to “Stay Debt-Free, Spend GuiltFree and Live Financially-Free. So, they can achieve and maintain lifelong financial stability through responsible and educated financial decision making and consumer spending. We want them to build a legacy for their future generations as well as for society at large.” Early in life, Michael enrolled in the University of Hard Knocks where he failed financially. He spent his hard-earned money on his lifestyle. He filed bankruptcy, had his car repossessed, bank accounts drained, you name it, he experienced it. He decided to graduate from the University of Hard Knocks around the age of 40, took personal financial literacy education seriously and never looked back. After changing how he was negatively thinking, feeling, and acting about money, he began building wealth. His philanthropic journey began as he started giving back to educational causes. On the collegiate level, he supported 44
HBCU`s (i.e. Historically Black Colleges) and Universities in the United States. Michael says that, “most people in my field have degrees; however, I have actual real-life experiences that have allowed me to be successful.” The most exciting part of his role as CEO, Michael says, “is creating new products and services from a single idea that has the capacity to positively impact the lives of others.” Michael also has 30+ years’ experience in the private and public transportation sector of Chicago. He is retired from the Chicago Transit Authority. He began playing basketball in high school, moved on to college and entered in the Pro/Amateur League in Chicago and the Professional European League, based in Salzburg Austria. Robbie has 40 years of Information Technology development and management experience within the retail and financial services industry. During these years, she served as a diversity and inclusion advocate and global mentor. She is retired from a Chicago based Fortune 500 international financial services firm. She is also an advocate for giving back both time and money to the community as she believes becoming successful comes with a greater responsibility to help others. Robbie demonstrated her commitment to the community through 30+ years of donating time and money to the United Way of Metropolitan Chicago and other charitable organizations. Says Robbie: “I am very confident in my ability to accomplish any goal I set my mind to. I can be a little stubborn and controlling at times which adds a touch of “spice” to my personality. I live by the financial literacy principles that we preach/teach. I know first-hand that educating yourself is critical to making sound
