The Entrepreneur's Solution: Business Tips | Wealth | Lifestyle | Entrepreneur | Success

Success depends on the mindset we use to face life and approach our goals. If your mind is wired for mediocrity, how can you ever expect to create success? Changing the way we think is not easy because it doesn't matter how many times we are told how good we are if we have a mindset that continuously gets in the way of our goals.Some people believe that changing one's belief is almost impossible, but I'm here with my friend Brad Bizjack to help you understand that it is not impossible and that changing your mindset starts with just one spark and the use of the right tools, including the creation of positive reinforcement systems.So, in this episode, I want to talk about the five core things that you need if you want to create a new positive mindset. With the help of Brad’s program, “The Success Accelerator”, you will be able to lean into the great things that you were born for. In this episode, we’re sharing:Three things we can do to reevaluate our mindsetHow having a negative mindset impacts y

I think creating a business is one of the best ways to create a life.I mean think about it...doing something you love while making a difference to others at the same time you're making money.Too often we decide to go into business because we want to make a difference AND we would then have complete control and freedom to do what we want in our life. I don't know about you but maybe you felt that way too.But then the truth hit...There was no freedom!There was no control!There was work.There was long hours.There was stress.There was everything but no control or freedom.Can you relate?In this episode, I expose one of the biggest mistakes most entrepreneurs make when trying to create a  life of financial freedom with their business. But then give you the missing element that will give you control and financial freedom. ★★★ READY FOR AN UNSHAKEABLE FINANCIAL FOUNDATION? ★★★ Join the VIP EXCLUSIVE LIVE Experience called The Affluent Entrepreneur LIVE.

Today I’m talking to my dear friend, Chris Harder, about how we can lead a rich and wealthy life beyond just accumulating money. If you don’t know Chris, he is a successful entrepreneur, investor, and business advisor. But more importantly, he is focused on impact and generosity through entrepreneurship and how to create lives that are full of richness.We both believe that wealth creation is less about money and more about the behaviors you have.We all have the power of changing our behaviors and developing positive habits in order to find the financial freedom we all deserve. It is actually simple if you have the right priorities, processes, and principles at work in your life. That doesn’t mean it is always easy, but it is simple.You’ll hear some of the struggles Chris and I went through on our journeys and the importance of having a sound foundation to bounce back.Remember that money is a tool that will help you achieve the life you’ve always dreamed of. It doesn't matter what that life looks like, yo

How Entrepreneurs Really Build Wealth!I don't have to tell you that your business can be your most powerful wealth building tool...But if you are solely focused on your business as your wealth, as powerful as it is, it becomes the single point of failure for your financial future.The fact is that it isn't just wealth we want to think about, it is about making sure we are living a rich life.Richness is how we experience life and NOT simply the money in a bank account. Let's face it there are plenty of folks that have large bank account but are fulfillment broke! They are a miserable.That isn't the way to live. You are meant for more and you deserve more for sure.Even if you can get the highest returns from your business, there are other consideration to bring into play. In this episode, I give you a framework from wealth, richness and what to coniser beyond how much money you can make.★★★ READY FOR AN UNSHAKEABLE FINANCIAL FOUNDATION? ★★★ Join the VIP EXCLUSIVE LIVE Experience called The Af

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.As an entrepreneur, you need to understand what's happening in the financial world so you don’t fall into the trap of making emotional financial decisions. Even if you have a financial advisor, their role is to help you steer towards your goals, but ultimately you are the captain of the ship. Make sure that you’re working as a team towards those goals.The fact is that it is less about what your advisors want to do for you and more about how they can facilitate the achievement of your affluence vision, no matter how big it is.We all can change our financial future. As entrepreneurs, you cannot continue traditional financial advice. If you want to create an exceptional life, you need to be exceptional. You need to see what others don't.TODAY OUR CONVERSATION INCLUDES:4 things to take into consideration when listening to a financi

Are you getting good advice from your financial advisorHow do you know you have a good financial advisor?How do you choose a good financial advisor?Often advisors work in a company that ties their hands on what they can offer you. They also can have biases based on their corporate requirements or even how they are compensated.The only investments that should be in front of you are those that are the ABSOLUTE BEST for you and your SPECIFIC Circumstances. Unfortunately, many advisors lookat investments based on suitability. I get it suitability is one standard but does not mean it is the absolute best for you.Realize some advisors are simply sales people and driven by the sales process not the advising process.So what do you need to look for in an advisor?What questions should you ask?What you should tell them you want with respect to your vision and relationship?★★★ READY FOR AN UNSHAKEABLE FINANCIAL FOUNDATION? ★★★ Join the VIP EXCLUSIVE LIVE Experience called The Affluent Entrepreneur LIVE.

The Steps to Financial Freedom...it's a question I get at least a few times a week.As much as I want to help you get to financial freedom, I am more excited about getting you to live an affluent life. Affluence is often confused with opulence but they aren't the same at all. The fact is that an affluent life has 4 factors to it and only one of them has anything to do with money.Once we get clear on how you define your affluent life, you can then walk through the stage to financial freedom. Although financial freedom is typically defined as a a number, the process to get to the number will take you through 4 stages of what I call the financial liberation journey.In this episode, I take you through the key components of an affluent life and the 4 stages of the financial liberation journey so you can see the path to your financial freedom number.★★★ READY FOR AN UNSHAKEABLE FINANCIAL FOUNDATION? ★★★ Join the VIP EXCLUSIVE LIVE Experience called The Affluent Entrepreneur LIVE.

Sometimes it seems like it’s easier to create excuses than solutions. When it comes to money, I see my students constantly finding the same excuses to avoid taking full control of their financial future.Throughout the years, I've found that there are seven recurring excuses that people use to avoid going after their dreams and goals. I have also found, however, how to break through them so you can get your money to work harder for you. My goal? To help you make your money work harder for you than you ever did for it. You may believe that things are hard because there are some obstacles in your way, but you also may be forgetting that everything is hard at first. If you take action while being patient and consistent, you will end up achieving your goal: financial freedom.If you are anything like me, I bet you will be able to relate to one or more of these excuses. Yep, I had some of the same excuses but found a way to overcome them. Here’s the insidious thing though…I didn’t realize they were excuses unti

Making a Lot of Money Doesn't Guarantee Wealth!In fact, the amount of money you make has far less to do with your ability to create wealth than you think. A recent study of over 10,000 millionaires (Dave Ramsey) showed that the majority of millionaires in the study were making  less than $150,000 a year. Too often we are solely focused on on acquiring assets instead skill sets. It is the skill sets that will transform your financial destiny forever.In this episode, I dive into what to focus on and what happens if you don't get this right. It can be devastating for sure.★★★ READY FOR AN UNSHAKEABLE FINANCIAL FOUNDATION? ★★★ Join the VIP EXCLUSIVE LIVE Experience called The Affluent Entrepreneur LIVE.

Social media has become a big part of our daily lives. We’re constantly sharing and consuming information from all over the world, which ends up becoming part of our routines, habits, and thoughts.Although we think it doesn’t affect us, it does. Social media has created a phenomenon in which we’re comparing ourselves to other people all the time because we’re thinking about social media metrics as a self-worth metric.Sometimes we start thinking that if we don’t have what people show us on their social media pages, then we are not special or worthy. Let me tell you–that is simply not true. This problem doesn’t only affect how you see yourself but also how you interact with the world around you, especially in financial terms. We need to take time to understand what we are seeing, filter the information we are consuming, and untangle what we define as the truth on social media. That's why, in this episode, I'm giving you a few tricks to avoid being caught up in the social media trap so you can make bet

Your business is not a good wealth plan!Here’s what know if you’re anything like me, you came into your business because you wanted to serve but you also expected it to give you freedom and wealth.Quickly you find yourself on the treadmill running hard and fast with everything invested (time, effort AND money) but with very little wealth or freedom.It is the biggest mistake and misconception most entrepreneurs have as they try to grow their wealth. The other issue is that everything is relying on you and your effort while having any and all wealth captive in the business and nothing outside of it.Imagine for a moment being able to have the business but also have enough wealth that the operation and profitability of the business no longer matters and doesn’t define your life.The missing piece is that as you grow your business you also need to build a money machine outside the business. It is the money machine that gives you the control, freedom and true wealth.In this episode, I talk through this in depth so y

As Bobby, the steps you take don’t have to be big, because small steps become grand overtime and make a real difference in the whole process of your financial journey.Today our conversation includes: What our current financial situation looks likeThe steps towards our financial freedomHow to face debtMaking the best plan to get out of debtThe concept of leapfrog funding, and we take some of our income to make different paymentsResources mentioned:Episode 040 Getting Out of Debt the Affluence Way: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podc
