This week I have the pleasure of introducing you to someone who has changed my life for the better: Angela Setters, the founder and CEO of Conquer Credit Management. In many circles, Angela is referred to as “The Real Credit Queen” because she’s dedicated the past 30 years of her life to demystifying the credit system. It’s her mission to share all she’s learned in order to serve others and guide them along the journey to excellent credit.

When I began Agent Nateur, I invested just $300 and had a below-average credit score. Today, with the help of Angela, my credit score is almost perfect. If I can make this transformation, I believe anyone can. I’m certain that we all have the power to improve our credit and make this system work in our favor, even in the midst of the current economic crisis.

My timely conversation with Angela pulls back the curtain on the credit system. You’ll learn what credit is, what credit scores are used for, and the ways a good credit score will make your life easier. Along with these fundamentals, Angela also offers advice for those whose incomes have been impacted by recent events. Whether you’re on the verge of declaring bankruptcy, considering loan forbearance, or making a big investment, this episode of Nateurious offers insight into your unique situation with strategic next steps.

No matter where your credit score stands today, there was never a better time to harness your full potential. Listen, take notes, and embrace new habits in how you use your credit cards and make payments. Trust me on this… With The Real Credit Queen as your guru, you’ll be on the fast track to a better credit score and financial freedom.
