Get Growing: A No-Nonsense Guide to Cultivating Wealth and Financial Freedom
Your money can grow. So can you.
Money is one of the most powerful tools you have to shape your life. Yet so many of us feel overwhelmed by finances, embarrassed about our money habits ― or stuck in a cycle of earning and spending with nothing to show for it. In Get Growing, author Jessica Brady cuts through the jargon and judgement to deliver a refreshingly honest, down-to-earth and slightly sweary guide for growing your wealth.
With a background as a financial adviser and host of the popular Financially Fierce podcast, Jess has spent more than two decades helping people untangle their finances. In this book, she shows you how to weed out debt and bad habits ― and plant the seeds for long-term financial security. Get Growing combines behavioural science, practical frameworks and candid stories from real people to create a money companion you’ll return to again and again.

Jessica Brady is woman who never thought she would develop a career in money management. To her money was something that you needed to have to be able to live but was just another part of life and living.
Along her life pathway she realised the scales were not always balanced in wealth advancement, or money management and decided that ‘money know-how’ was something that could be learned no matter where you were placed on societies ladder. All you needed to do was be educated as to how this could and can be done, by understanding what it means to really be able to grow your money, to build up a nest egg to a better, more comfortable future: with no guilt attached.
Get Growing is written in language that is very easy to both understand and enjoy – a no-frills walk through what she refers to as a ‘no nonsense guide to cultivating wealth and financial freedom’ which it most definitely is; it is a call to arms, one that will see you face the fear, the challenge and the success built on sound principals and common sense.
Using the analogy of creating a garden, planting the seeds, weeding out the issues and putting in the hard work to build something that will result in wealth creation, is very relatable; common sense if you prefer. Recognising that wealth creation means different things to different people she encourages everyone to investigate becoming financially free, no matter what the future may deliver, no matter where you are placed, or think you are placed in society, and ‘Get Growing”.
Her personal story establishes the background of the book, her realisation that being nice to her clients that were constantly breaking the guidelines set down for their wealth management or growth, was not dong anyone any favours, along with her desire to make wealth creation something anyone can achieve, has led to her current pathway, a woman on a mission to change the way ‘wealth’ is viewed. Is she succeeding – most definitely!
Get Growing is highly recommended for anyone, no matter your walk of life, who is wondering how they can gain financial stability in today’s world of continuous and rapid financial challenge.
