I invested nearly $2k to do a workshop. Here's what I learned.

Last week I invested a couple of grand to sit in a room that challenged the way I think about money, business and identity.

In this episode I unpack what I learned at the One Day Mastery Event in Auckland with Luke Kemmeys from Keep the Change, Sarah Robb from Spring with Sarah and Amy from Levridge.

Before the day had even really started, something stood out to me. I was one of the youngest people in the room and very likely one of the lowest income earners there too.

Which meant I was sitting in conversations and perspectives I am not usually exposed to.

And that was powerful.

Sometimes the value of a room is not just the information. It is the proximity.

In this episode I share some of the biggest ideas that stayed with me, including:

• Why your income will not outgrow your identity

• The concept that energy is currency

• Why every yes in business has an equal no

• How to reverse engineer your income and investment goals

• Why systems, processes and people protect your energy

• The idea of taking “baby retirement days” now instead of waiting until 65

• How to identify the risks in your business and reduce them

I also share a powerful financial planning exercise I learned from Amy at Levridge that helps calculate exactly how much you need to invest each year to reach your long term financial goals.

A lot of money conversations focus on tactics. Save this much. Invest in this. Cut that cost.

But often the real ceiling is identity.

How you see yourself. What you believe is possible for you.

And the rooms you choose to sit in.

Sometimes one room and one conversation can shift everything.
