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.

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.
