Ep 7213 Lies You've Been Told That Are Holding Back Your Wealth
When it comes to money mindset, a lot of us take advice from well-meaning people or institutions that want to keep us small. I'm breaking down three myths that might be holding you back financially, including why your money shouldn't be sitting in a savings account, how to tell the difference between good and bad debt, and why you shouldn't be racing to pay off your mortgage. There are so many ways to start putting your money to work, but it all starts with your beliefs about what's possible for you and your financial health. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: The reality of the disappearing middle class The lie that big banks sold to us about savings accounts Examples of strategic debt and consumer debt My rule of thumb for measuring how much monthly debt you can responsibly handle Why I tell homeowners to skip the double mortgage payments and invest that money into something that will give them a far bigger return RESOURCES Text DAILY to 310-421-0416 to get daily Money Mantras or Business Perspective messages to boost your day.

There are three main areas where you're costing yourself time, money, customers, and leads, and I bet you don't even realize it. As entrepreneurs, especially when we're starting out, we try to cut corners and get scrappy, but I've experienced first-hand why it's so important to call in the pros on things like taxes, paid advertisements, and copywriting.

When you shift that internal dialogue, it affects your thoughts, which then ripples into your actions and outcomes. In this episode, I share some tangible examples of how to rewire your fear-based beliefs so that you can create more abundance in 2023. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: How your language can hold you back financially Patterns that I've noticed in the final interviews that I've been doing with the Elite Mastermind applicants Recognizing when you rely on old safety measures to "protect" yourself Approaching investments from the perspective of possibility instead of scarcity RESOURCES Text DAILY to 310-421-0416 to get daily Money Mantras or Business Perspective messages to boost your day.

While wrapping up my last call with my annual mastermind group, I always like challenging them to share one or two specific people that have made a difference in each individual's life.

Ep 706The #1 Thing You Need To Spread Your Message
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.

Ep 705The #1 Determining Factor For Your Personal Growth & Success
ELast 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.

Ep 7015 Valuable Lessons As I Turn 45
EAs 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.
