How do your daily behaviors, choices, and habits impact your financial future? More importantly, what are the essential habits to cultivate if you want to create wealth?I’m going to answer these key questions in today’s episode and go even further. I’ve always found that building wealth is like building anything else in life - if you adopt strong habits, those habits become the norm. They become second nature. Understanding and learning the key wealth habits of successful entrepreneurs is a good starting point. These habits will help you build a solid foundation for your wealth, enabling you to create a lifestyle that is both meaningful and financially secure.It's time to take control of your financial destiny, and this episode is the perfect place to start!IN TODAY’S EPISODE, I DISCUSS: The seven wealth habits that will help you build your financial futureThe four wealth drivers matrix and how each of them impacts your overall wealthWhen is the right time to investRECOMMENDED EPISODES FOR YOU If you lik

How do you measure wealth? If you ask most people, they’ll tell you that they measure it by what’s available in your bank account. However, I actually believe that you measure your wealth in time. Then, when you do that, you start to look at the dollars differently.Here’s what I know, no matter how much money you have in your accounts, if you aren’t in control of your time, it is a poor existence because you’re beholden to someone or something else out of your control.My guest today, Megan Sumrell, is going to be a must-listen as you’re trying to create your affluent life because there’s more in common than you think between time and money management: they’re both limited and a result of our behaviors and choices. Megan, like most of us, reached a point in her life where she realized that trying to juggle multiple roles was not sustainable if she wanted to build a truly rich and fulfilling life. That’s when she decided to do things differently and found that a thriving life came from harmony, not from trying

What does it actually mean to truly live a life that matters? As much as I always speak about money, wealth, and business, living a life that matters is about the richness of your days. It’s about meaning, impact, and living life on your terms.We need to examine ourselves and our minds, and get clear about what we really want out of life. Spending time with your thoughts will help you take intentional action toward the goals that are relevant to you.So today, I want to help you conduct that self-exam by following a framework that will reveal who you are, what you have to offer, and the steps you need to take to get closer to your unique vision of significance.Once you have that clarity, you will start making choices today so you can get closer to the life you envision for tomorrow. You can start living a life that matters right now, so I can’t wait to share this framework with you!IN TODAY’S EPISODE I DISCUSS…My 5-step framework to help you create your own definition of meaning in lifeThe importance of not on

With the start of a new year, I see that the majority of my listeners have the resolution of doing things differently to win the money game. Today I want to give you the tools and tactics you need to change your money story this year for the rest of your life.Yes, there’s volatility around us. News about the economy may make you feel a sense of doom for your financial future. The good news is that this situation has created an opportunity to learn to place our focus, not on the external circumstances, but on the things we can really control: our actions, habits, thoughts, and patterns.So, as much as the world around you wants to make you think that taking control of your finances is complicated, if not impossible under the current circumstances, I am here to break that myth. You have more power than you realize.Remember that wealth depends more on behavior than on money. It depends on your habits, your decisions, and your choices. Let’s make sure that you write a different money story this year by implementin

Like most of my elite clients, you’re probably on a journey to building generational wealth because you want to make an impact on those around you: your family, your community, and the causes you care about.Today I’m talking about some wills, trusts, and other resources you can put in place to protect your wealth and legacy against potential lawsuits, fees, and even taxes after you’re gone.As uncomfortable as these conversations can be since they involve the idea of dying, they’re a priority that you shouldn’t postpone. In the end, it’s going to be less painful to have them now than to have your family deal with these questions after.Understanding and learning to handle them is an act of love, of protection, of making it easier for everyone around you. I want your legacy to live well beyond your years. I want to see you strive to live a life that outlives you.Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational purposes only and doesn’t constitute financial advice.

When it comes to business growth, the possibilities are nearly endless. However, figuring out the best way to do it, to get more clients, or even how to start a business from scratch, can seem like daunting tasks.Instead of starting from scratch, there’s another option where you can take over another business, already successful, and let that business pay for the purchase price. That’s what my dear friend, Nick Bradley, is here to discuss with us today.You can step in and start growing a business that’s already generating cash flow and expand it, instead of establishing it from ground zero. Today, Nick will help you start looking at the world of business differently. He has a background in private equity and has made his life’s mission helping entrepreneurs be prepared to go into the private equity and financing world successfully and fully equipped so they too can enjoy full-time financial freedom.IN TODAY’S EPISODE I DISCUSS:The best steps to take if you’re just starting your entrepreneurial journey or if y

So now you’re navigating from a money setpoint that was created unconsciously by default and observation.It’s time to take action, to stop ignoring your mindset blocks. If you don't deal with what’s happening in your head, you won't be able to deal with what’s happening in your bank account.Changing your money story will allow you to shift your behavior, which will in turn change your ability to create wealth.

With the new year quickly approaching, we all start thinking about our goals, dreams, and resolutions. But when we look at the numbers, we see that most people that set New Year’s Resolutions don’t accomplish them. What’s even more surprising, almost no one gets to even write down their goals and make a plan to achieve them.As you’ve heard me say before, goal setting doesn't matter unless you have a system, a process, and a framework for actual goal getting. So today, I’m giving you my framework so you can take those dreams out of your mind and actually make them a reality.Instead of becoming another statistical point, I want you to have a different story next year. You deserve to not only go after a goal but enjoy the journey to get there. You deserve to have a clear plan to be part of the 10% that actually reaches their goals. You too can experience true richness in life.In case doubt has been knocking on your door this year, I want to remind you that your dreams are worth it, your future is worth it.

It’s that time of the year again: taxes are around the corner, and as a proactive entrepreneur, it’s time to get ahead of the game before the end of the year so you reduce your taxes as low as possible, in the most legal way possible, so you can maximize how much of your earnings will remain in your pocket in 2023.Let’s face it, taxes can be one of the largest expenses…but it doesn’t mean there aren’t ways to keep more money in your pocket.In this episode, I'm going particularly deep and technical because I want to walk you through some of the key strategies that you need to start implementing now.As always, my goal is to help you understand these complex financial concepts so you can apply the secrets that millionaires are already using year after year to maximize their profits come tax season, and grow your wealth at a faster rate.I want you to make this a priority before December 31st. You deserve to plan ahead for your financial freedom, protect your wealth, and safeguard your financial future. Discl

If you’re like most entrepreneurs I work with, you probably love the holidays. With the holidays also comes the joy of constant celebration and gift-giving.It’s normal to experience the desire to show your appreciation and gratefulness by being generous to those you love. However, this joyful time can also bring a serious case of holiday hangover come January when the credit card bills come in with a balance higher than what you can actually afford.Today we’re discussing how to plan for your holiday gifting this season without breaking the bank. I want to help you think through how to give smartly without putting you in a situation that you’ll regret later.At the end of the day, this episode isn’t about not giving or not being in the holiday spirit. It is about being realistic about your financial situation and making spending choices that won’t set you back financially for the rest of next year.IN THIS EPISODE I DISCUSS: 12 steps to optimize your spending this holiday seasonHow to make sure your family is no

It’s that time of the year when we all start reflecting… We all take a moment to be grateful for the people in our lives and the things we have.As we celebrate Thanksgiving in the US this week, my hope is to light the path for you to experience a richer lifestyle regardless of where you are in your financial journey. As I’ve touched on before, richness in life goes beyond money, it’s measured in the currency of experiences.If you’re a repeat listener of the podcast (and if not, you should be :-)), then you’re probably well on your way to creating your own version of an Affluent Life. For that, I’m so very proud of you! Yet, I also want to invite you to pause, think, and appreciate the journey itself…with all the highs and lows. Just like the melody of a song, the highs and lows create the depth of richness you experience.I believe today's society is starving for people coming from a place of gratitude and showing appreciation for others and themselves. I firmly believe that if we approach life humbly, co

You may have heard me say before… no one has money issues. The reality is that they’re actually money symptoms. Symptoms of decisions, choices, and behaviors of the past. I get that can be confronting but it should also be empowering to know that simply changing some behaviors can completely transform your financial destiny.Here’s the deal though, your decisions, choices, and behaviors are impacted by your attitude or learned biases around money and wealth.A bias is a way we process and interpret information. Our bias–and therefore our attitude– is often simply the result of our life experiences. The fact these attitudes could be the very thing that holds from the wealth and financial freedom you deserve.Wherever these attitudes came from we can change them. So today, I walk through some of the most common biases that may be robbing you of an affluent financial future.When you think differently about your money, you can act differently. When you act differently you'll have a whole new set of behaviors th

I bet by now you’re tired of hearing that more millionaires are created during recessions than at any other time. Personally, this is something that encourages me when I analyze the current state of the economy: when most people see challenges, an entrepreneur sees an opportunity.That’s why today I want to equip you with the tools you need to fill in the HOW portion of the puzzle. How do you build wealth during a recession? What exactly do you need to do? What is the game plan so you do it the right way?My goal is to give you tools and principles that have been proven to work so you can be prepared and protected against recession and any other economic hardship. I want to see you live peacefully through this and come out successfully on the other side of uncertainty.When you understand the basic concepts related to economic downturns, you'll realize that in reality, you have more power than you think and you’ll see where all the opportunities you’ve always heard about are.If you’re on your path to creati

Have you ever been in a situation where you were trying to make an important financial decision, but just couldn’t? Maybe this is happening to you right now. Maybe you’re holding back because you’re afraid to make the wrong choice.The problem is that you can’t stay living in fear because when you have fear, you don't fully show up. The resistance and uncertainty you feel make you tiptoe around your goals, so you need to find a way to overcome them.My goal is to help show up fully for your dreams so you can finally go that extra mile and get the results you want.If you feel like there’s something holding you back, this episode is for you. Today I’m walking you through my framework: Six Stages Of Conquering Financial Fear. Grab pen and paper and get ready to be equipped with a checklist that will help you move beyond the fear of making the right financial decisions.This is the exact process I use when working with my 1-on-1 Elite clients or those in my Master's group.Yep, it doesn’t matter what level

One of the best and fastest ways to build wealth and create financial freedom is to elevate your income to get paid more for what you do.Are you struggling, trying to figure out the best way to price your products or services? Do you want to increase your rates and finally get paid what you’re worth?Listen up coaches, consultants, and service providers; spoiler alert: selling hours is NOT the way to reach your financial goals.At the end of the day, my goal is to help you see the importance of positioning yourself as a value provider, not as a transactional provider only.We have to see our own worth first before we can sell our worth to others.The truth is, the more you can articulate the value you offer in the world, the more you can increase your income, and the more you increase your income, the faster you can ramp up your path to wealth and financial freedom.TODAY, WE’RE DISCUSSING:How to position yourself and your offer correctly to convey the value of the transformation your prospect will be receivingThe

“Creating wealth is complicated”. You may have heard this many times or even thought this yourself. But the reality is if you know what millionaires do consistently, AND you do the same…you’ll see how simple it truly is.Now I did say it is simple, and it is. But it still may require work, and when you put in the time and effort you’ll see your path to a new financial destiny accelerate.A Fidelity study showed that 80% to 90% of millionaires are first-generation millionaires, which means that they achieved their wealth during their lifetime, without a millionaire inheritance.I want to help you see that it doesn’t take a lot to reach that goal, you just need to understand how to take maximum advantage of the opportunities in front of you.The way we see opportunities is different for everybody. Some will see them as a risk, some as luck, and others will see a crisis and turn it into something positive for them.Let’s go over the four areas that you need to focus on if you want to start multiplying your wealth. Th

Financial freedom is a must for you but not because of the money!Our current market situation is filled with uncertainty. News of rate increases and market decreases seem to be the everyday headline. However, your financial destiny doesn’t need to be destroyed just because of recurring uncertainty and challenges.Many will be paralyzed, they’ll wait. They’ll be reactive, instead of proactive. But I don’t want that to be your story. I want you to be able to stand up and rise from the crisis, to actually thrive.Wealth creation is bigger than the number of zeroes in your bank account, and my goal is to help you realize that. In today’s episode, I’m sharing the reasons that make it a must for you to turn Financial Freedom into a priority in your life.It’s time to do this for yourself. For your ability to be able to take care of an aging parent, your ability to take care of a cause that is near and dear to your heart, and your ability to simply show up for the people you love.In this episode, I’m sharing:Why wealth
