History of International Redefining Wealth Day
The day was introduced by Patrice Washington who is the award-winning author of “Redefine Wealth For Yourself,” and host of “The Redefining Wealth Podcast.” Washington has appeared on shows like “Dr. Oz,” “The Steve Harvey Show,” and he has also acted as a financial advisor to Steve Harvey’s radio and television shows since 2014, and featured in several publications such as “Essence Magazine,” “New York Post,” and “Cosmopolitan.”
Through her teachings on the six pillars of wealth — fit, people, faith, space, work, and money, Washington shows women and men that leading a disciplined but satisfying life is better than becoming a hostage to pursuing money. As an accomplished personal finance expert and transformational speaker, Washington’s work has impacted the lives of millions, giving them the tools to prosper in their careers, homes, and personal finances. Washington’s unique philosophy sets her apart from so many other financial gurus, and she freely admits to this making her an outlier within her profession. Washington has indicated that the day is a call to those more interested in finding their life’s purpose and gaining wisdom for living a fulfilling life. It is the reason she conceptualized Redefining Wealth Day so as to help like-minded people develop individual goals and visions rather than forcing themselves to live a life of deprivation to become rich. This way, people can become the best version of themselves and focus on relationships that matter.
International Redefining Wealth Day is about setting up your life to support yourself and believing in something greater than material success while attracting the prosperity you desire and living your life’s purpose.

International Redefining Wealth Day Activities
Think of what you want
Other than money, what else do you want out of life? Think about achievements and relationships, not zeroes in your bank account.
Reconsider your relationships
Perhaps there are people you could stand to cut out of your life, or you could gain from if you got closer to them. Take the time to consider the value of your relationships and whether they’ll help you or hurt you in pursuing a purpose-driven life.
Make a plan
Once you’ve settled on what you want, it’s time to figure out how to achieve it. Plan for the long-term — but remember that it's a journey. Take it slow, day by day. Enjoy the process.
