Money Mindset
True Wealth Begins with a Renewed Money Mindset
Money shapes more than budgets, bank accounts, and anything learned from a textbook. It shapes confidence, choices, and the way we move through our everyday lives. For Annette Campbell, understanding money has never been just about accounting or tax strategy. It has always been about mindset, stewardship, and healing beliefs formed long before adulthood.
As founder of The Tax Experience, a financial consulting firm, Annette Campbell equips entrepreneurs with strategies that align money management with purpose and stewardship. She also leads Marked for Millions, a faith-rooted community that helps business owners build confidence and clarity around wealth and calling. She works with clients virtually, so location is never a barrier to the support she provides.
Annette serves entrepreneurs and business owners across the country, yet she sees a common thread in the women she works with. Many grew up believing money was stressful, scarce, or even wrong to desire. Annette understands these beliefs deeply because she lived them.
Growing up I believed money was evil and villainized,” she says. “It was related to struggle and stress and not having enough.” She watched people around her mismanage money and assumed financial stability was inaccessible. These early experiences shaped her relationship with money well into adulthood.
Her turning point came through a series of humbling seasons. She worked multiple jobs, tried to build a business, and eventually lost her job, her apartment, and her car all at once. “I risked it all. I cried out for a miracle,” she says. “I am a risk taker with crazy faith.”
"My journey showed me that it’s not about the numbers. It’s about your mindset, your confidence, and healing your relationship with money." - Annette
During that time, she learned how to overcome objections, how to keep going when support was limited, and how to see money through a new lens. She was exposed to wealth, to people who thought differently, and to mentors who showed her what was possible.
One moment stands out. Her car broke down unexpectedly. A stranger stopped to help, listened to her story, and encouraged her to keep going. “God stopped my car for a reason so we could meet and have that conversation,” she says. Soon after, a pastor prayed over her, and a bright sun ray shone down. Annette remembers feeling God was telling her not to give up. “God gave me a vision and the provision toaccomplish it.”
As her business grew, Annette realized her calling was bigger than tax preparation. “I battled with stewardship,” she says. “I learned what we struggle with is what we are to help other people do.” She began speaking, mentoring, and serving on nonprofit organizations’ boards. Her purpose extended beyond numbers. She wanted people to understand money without shame. “We all make mistakes and we don’t always get it right,” she says. “Because of my own story, I’m able to relate to a lot of people. I come from a place of understanding and not judging.”
Annette teaches entrepreneurs how to incorporate Biblical principles of stewardship into their financial decisions. “You can’t do life right without Jesus,” she says. “Entrepreneurs need to understand what you’ve been given and what you’ve been entrusted with. When you know you are a solution on this earth, you will be the steward and step into your purpose and calling.”
Her message resonates strongly with women who undervalue their work, a pattern Annette sees often. Without an accountant or clear financial data, women tend to undercharge, pricing services from a place of fear instead of confidence. She encourages them to stand on their results. “You didn’t get into business to struggle,” she says. “Know your value. You will attract the right clients and customers.”
Annette teaches that money is a tool, not an identity. It does not define worth or success. “What determines your success is your obedience to your assignment,” she says. When people understand that money is something they can manage with purpose rather than something that controls them, everything changes.
Her practical advice is simple and accessible: Small daily habits and intentional choices can create lasting change.
“My journey showed me that it’s not about the numbers,” she says. “It’s about your mindset, your confidence, and healing your relationship with money. Many of us have trauma associated with money.”
Annette encourages people to invest in themselves. Many were never taught the purpose of money or how to use it as a tool for growth. She believes understanding how money works can help people make intentional choices and create new opportunities.
Her community, Marked for Millions, reflects her belief that wealth is not just financial. “It’s not about the millions as it pertains to money,” she says. She teaches the difference between inheritance and legacy. Inheritance is physical. Legacy is values, wisdom, and purpose passed down through generations.
Annette’s legacy is clear: “I don’t want anyone to go through what I went through financially,” she says. She wants families to become financially independent, building wealth with wisdom, generosity, and purpose. She reminds entrepreneurs that stewardship is key and that understanding their finances creates confidence in decision-making. Budgeting, bookkeeping, and having an accountant are tools that help build a business rooted in purpose rather than fear.
Her team meets with clients monthly to review profitability, cash flow, and expenses. They talk about investing, building wealth, and making an impact. Annette believes anyone can grow a business, but the real question is who you become in the process.
For readers, Annette offers a gentle invitation. Begin by rewriting the story you tell yourself about money. Release the belief that you are not good with money or that you do not deserve abundance. Build confidence through small habits. Invest in yourself. And remember that money is a tool meant to be managed with purpose.
Her message is simple. Walk in faith and purpose, not fear. Believe big. And never let anything stop you.
