The Chris Harder Show

We're celebrating Lori's birthday! It's the perfect time to check in and talk about where she's at and where she wants to go in the coming year. I ask Lori some reflection questions that we encourage you to emulate (either for yourself or with your partner). It's important to acknowledge milestones and make them feel celebratory. For Lori, even though 41 was the toughest year of her life, she can also see that she's accomplished so much and really made herself proud of the person she's became in the process. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Lori's greatest achievements from her 41st year Lori's goals for her 42nd year How we're celebrating Lori's birthday week How Lori wants to make an impact in her coming year RESOURCES Text DAILY to 310-421-0416 to get daily Money Mantras to boost your day.

I'm coming off the happiest year that I have ever had and that's the same thing that I wish for you. I want an abundance for you in every possible way, shape, and form. One of the things that went into having one of the best years of my life is that I started deciding how I wanted to feel. As we are heading into the New Year, I want to share how I did this with you. It is one of the simplest, but also one of the toughest things to do. However, it will make the biggest difference in not just how you build your business or your wealth, but also in how you live and enjoy life.

Yesterday I had the amazing opportunity to go with Lori to the Brendon Burchard Coaching Summit, where she was speaking. When we were backstage talking with Brendon, the subject of not getting hung up on money came up. Brendon said his famous line, "You need money to sustain the message". In today's episode, I discuss that one of the biggest things you need to do as an up-and-coming business person and entrepreneur is clear away some of these limiting beliefs and artificial ceilings that you have put on yourself. The biggest is when it comes to earning money, which people somehow think is selfish or greedy. I share my tips for overcoming that limiting belief and harmful money mindset. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Limiting beliefs and the barriers that we place on ourselves How to turn your feeling of selfishness into selflessness How to reach the people that need to hear your message RESOURCES Text DAILY to 310-421-0416 to get daily Money Mantras or Business Perspective messages to boost your day.

Last night, Lori and I celebrated the birthday of our friend at a black tie, old Hollywood-style gala that he threw. It was amazing! It was the perfect excuse to get dressed to the nines, go out dancing all night long, and to be around our friends and incredible human beings. While we were there — surrounded by people wanting to have the same conversations as us and feeling immense amounts of gratitude for that — we were reminded of the sad reality that takes place when you're in a crowded room of people who aren't on the same page. Usually, it results in shrinking yourself and your values. On the flip side, one night of high-end conversations can actually change your life, and that is why you will sink down or rise up depending on if you're outnumbered by positive or negative people. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Stopping to appreciate how hard you have worked Why stretching to work with the best is always better than taking shortcuts The difference it makes to surround yourself with like-minded people RESOURCES Text DAILY to 310-421-0416 to get daily Money Mantras to boost your day.

I am going to address where you should be trying to stretch yourself in these three areas, while also knowing that you're playing within the real world of what is possible. In today's episode, I show you that there are no excuses to not hit your goals in 2023. I promise if you apply all of this — your goals, your dreams, and that incredible year you want — it's going to come true for you. But you have to put in the work right now.

As I celebrate my 45th birthday, I've been taking some time to reflect on five lessons that have really helped me get to where I am today. I wish when I was younger, someone would've told me that you have to be unapologetic about your message and purpose, and worry less about the few naysayers in your life. I've learned that you need to monetize what brings you joy, be a creator instead of a consumer, and play the long game. My eagerness to learn and consistent gratitude practice have also played a huge role in my success. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Why this past year has been the happiest one of my life Taking ownership over your narrative and destiny What I've gained in my life as a result of becoming a more open person The power of accumulation RESOURCES Text DAILY to 310-421-0416 to get daily Money Mantras or Business Perspective messages to boost your day.

One of the best ways to be more prosperous is to really dial in how you think about and view your earning potential. The simplest way to retrain your inner belief about your income is by incorporating mantras into your routine.

In my experience, once you start actively changing your thought patterns, your actions will follow suit.

The holidays are right around the corner, so Lori and I wanted to share how we dial in our schedules and uphold our boundaries so that we actually enjoy the season. We break down what we do before, during, and after the holidays in order to stay on track with our personal and business goals. We talk about our simplified approach to gift giving, how we practice the 'less is more' philosophy, and explain how we protect our energy around friends and family.

How do you know when you're stretching in a way that will make you level up, or if you're just being fiscally irresponsible? There are three questions that Lori and I ask ourselves when we're thinking about making a big investment. I break down what those three questions are and share measurable ways that can help you get really clear on your decision. I also share real examples of how we've used this system to radically change our lives for the better.

One of the biggest shifts that we've gone through in our businesses is learning how to collapse time by collaborating with experts instead of trying to muscle through everything on our own. Lori and I discuss ways that we've been able to grow faster and more sustainably by getting in the right rooms, building out diverse networks, and outsourcing tasks that aren't in our zones of genius. We describe the ripple effect that this approach has had on our lives and the business outcomes that we've experienced because of it. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Learning how to take action and pivot instead of freeze Taking responsibility when you choose to struggle instead of reaching out for support The domino effect of collapsing time What Lori wishes she could go back and tell herself during the early days of hosting live events Examples across industries of how you can reach your goals more efficiently RESOURCES We're enrolling for the 2023 Elite Mastermind right now!

I'm a firm believer that if you're living a luxurious life, but your family is suffering financially, then you're actually not living a rich life at all. Instead, you're living a greedy life. I want to share a story that really drives home why it's so important to seek financial freedom not just for yourself, but also for your loved ones. I'm highlighting a moment where financial abundance allowed me to make the right choice for my grandma, instead of having to make a choice directed by lack of money. Listen in for more takeaways from the situation that my family and I found ourselves in when my grandma's retirement fund ran out at 94 years old. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: The level of choice and ability I want you to seek for you and your family Why you need to be taking your retirement planning seriously, regardless of how old you are The pride that I have that I can uphold my family values and support the people that I love Reflecting on your bigger 'why' for building wealth RESOURCES Text DAILY to 310-421-0416 to get daily Money Mantras or Business Perspective messages to boost your day.

Lori and I have been pushing up against a lot of resistance lately. But, we've made a commitment to consistently step into resistance because we know that we'll be rewarded for it in the long run. It can be so tempting to choose the easier, more comfortable option, but once you start training yourself to push through the resistance, all of the things that you really want are waiting for you on the other side. We discuss how this has shown up in our lives in the past and set a plan for how we're going to work through the resistance we're feeling right now.

Your business doesn't have to suffer during an economic slowdown. It's your job to convey the absolute need for your product instead of marketing it as a nice-to-have item in someone's budget.

When you look into the future, you're just inviting in anxiety over something that probably isn't going to happen or isn't going to feel the way that you think it's going to feel.

I recently got a great question from a listener that I wanted to address on the show because it's something that I'm really passionate about. She asked if proximity matters and my answer is absolutely, yes. Proximity is the shortcut to getting where you want to go. For Lori and I, it required moving to a more connected city, stretching ourselves to live in wealthier neighborhoods, and joining luxury gyms to meet the people who were going to help boost our professional network and increase our reach. Proximity isn't the only thing that matters, but without a doubt, it will make the journey a lot faster and easier.

You know how I always start these Money Monday episodes off by saying that prosperity and generosity can and must coexist? I had an experience the other day that reminded me why that's my life motto. I want to share this story with you as a reminder to always keep your head up, your eyes open, and look for opportunities where you can help somebody that could use a little lift up. I had the chance to help someone out who felt like he couldn't catch a break and just needed a boost to keep going. When I can easily lend a hand to someone in need, it puts it into perspective why all of the hard work and extra hours are worth it. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Recognizing opportunities where you can make someone's day a little better Simple ways to be more generous in your daily life Why giving back to someone was the absolute highlight of my month Making sure that you're not just a passively good person RESOURCES Text DAILY to 310-421-0416 to get daily Money Mantras or Business Perspective messages to boost your day.

I'm joined by one of my good friends Kacia Ghetmiri to discuss everything from overcoming the fear of being a beginner to the importance of investing in yourself straight out of the gate. Kacia is the host of the EmpowerHER podcast and live event, which Lori and I will be speaking at in just a couple of weeks. Both Kacia and her husband have gone through my Elite Mastermind and I couldn't be more proud of the absolute powerhouse couple that they've become.

I just got back from one of the most amazing hotel stays that I've ever experienced, and it got me thinking about how to justify charging more for your services. If you want to raise your prices and have people excited to pay that premium, then you need to act and deliver like a five-star service. I share what I learned about the hiring process at Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts that sets them apart and how they empower their staff to go above and beyond for guests. Plus, I illustrate how you can apply these lessons to business and beyond.

The billionaires and business legends of the world have one thing in common: they have impossible-sized dreams that lead to their incredible wealth. Lori and I have always been unapologetically big dreamers and I truly believe that's a huge reason behind our financial success.

Lori just got back from the Powerhouse Women event and it was amazing. She had so many moments where she had tears in her eyes watching others rise and be the person that they came here to be. One speaker stood out to her with something she said, so she came home and immediately shared it with me, which inspired us to talk about it in today's episode.

In this week's He Said She Said, Lori and I share our takeaways from this book and share with you our feelings on stress and how to manage it to create a winner's mindset.

I had an awesome conversation this past week with somebody who wants to start a business. They're new to starting and owning a business and so of course, they picked my brain and I was more than happy to have this conversation with them. They were shocked at how much it costs you to attain or earn a customer, and they were shocked at how much it is going to cost for them to get their business up and going in the first place. As I shared with them, I want to share with you that there are always three ways to pay or to invest. You're going to have to pay to get your customer one of these three ways but in today's episode, I will help you decide what is the best choice for you based on your budget and your circumstance.

This week I chatted with my personal trainer at the local gym here by the lake house about career options and money. He expressed that he would love to find a way to make more money than he does right now and that he's been tempted to pursue other jobs. The other jobs he spoke of were unrelated to his area of expertise or anything that he would enjoy doing, but he was thinking about them purely because they pay more. I shared with him that there are two truths about making money and I want to share them with you in today's episode.

For years Lori and I were yes people, and for years we have watched others "yes" themselves to death. Now, we practice not just saying no to things that do not serve our greater vision and purpose, but going beyond that and letting it be okay if we disappoint people by saying no. We have consistently learned from others who have beautiful boundaries to protect and who have thrived by doing so. When you say yes to everything, you water down your message. When you constantly say yes, you take yourself away from your primary vision and the message you want out in the world. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Why you shouldn't say yes to every opportunity and should only say yes to what serves your agenda. We discuss the side effects of "yessing" yourself to death If you don't get an immediate answer to a request, it doesn't mean to stop asking. We discuss how to not take it personally How and why it is harder for women to turn down opportunities and how women can overcome the fear of saying no How people react to your no is usually telling of how they will behave and show up for you down the line Why protecting boundaries and respecting others is so important RESOURCES Text DAILY to 310-421-0416 to get daily Money Mantras to boost your day CONNECT WITH LORI Follow Lori: @loriharder Follow Lite Pink: @drinklitepink Follow Earn Your Happy: @earnyourhappy Follow Girlfriends & Business: @girlfriendsandbusiness Listen to Girlfriends & Business Listen to Earn Your Happy CONNECT WITH CHRIS Follow Me: @chriswharder Visit My Website: https://chrisharder.me

This week, I received a magazine from the Wisconsin Maritime Museum celebrating raising 9.5 million dollars to build a tower that houses all sorts of displays for the museum. This just happens to be the tower that my Dad designed and created when he was the President and Chairman of the Board. Until my Dad took that President's seat it was nothing more than a wish and he turned it into a reality. I started reading the names of the donors and I realized that my community had donated a ton of money cumulatively to my father's dream. This is the direct result of building a community of people around you — friends, family, and acquaintances — who work hard to put themselves in a financially advantageous place, then pay it forward without the expectation of anything back. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Dedicating time and energy towards making other's lives better, and the ripple effect it causes for those to pay it forward making life better for others.
