You are living in an incredible age where you can literally build a life -changing business in your spare bedroom or your mom's basement or your local coffee shop. All it takes is an idea and a little bit of intentionality and you can start to put money in your pocket from the comfort of your home. The problem is with these booms of online businesses, knowledge income streams, most people aren't building a life -giving business.

In this conversation, Graham Cochrane interviews Garrett Gunderson about his book 'Killing Sacred Cows' and his new book 'Money Unmasked'. They discuss different money myths and the importance of having an abundance mindset. They also explore the different money personas, including the miser, the conservative, the striver, and the high roller. Gunderson emphasizes the idea of financial independence rather than retirement and the importance of creating cash flow from assets. He encourages people to focus on value creation and enjoying life along the way. Retirement should be redefined as a process of eliminating the things you hate doing and creating a compelling vision for your life. In the modern age of technology and transformation, staying engaged and finding purpose in your work is possible. The old portfolio mindset, which relies on banks, stocks, bonds, and REITs, is flawed and lacks control. The new portfolio mindset involves investing in yourself, intellectual property, real estate, and businesses that align with your interests and skills. Overcoming fear and investing in yourself can lead to long-term dividends and a more fulfilling life.

One of the saddest things I deal with as a business coach is hearing from students or clients that launched a product (an online course, membership, group coaching etc) and it failed. Perhaps nobody bought or three people bought or it made only $100. The dream has been dashed because it didn't live up to their expectations. Today, I wanna pull back the curtain on the top three reasons why most product launches fail - so that your next (or first) launch won't!
