Episode 803: The 3 Essential Money Skills (and 4 Monetary Models) That Will Make You a Millionaire
The Mind Your Business PodcastShow Notes
One of the most common dilemmas facing entrepreneurs today is what comes first: making the money or mastering the mindset to keep it? Much like the age-old "chicken or the egg" riddle, these two pillars of business are deeply interconnected, feeding into one another to create a thriving ecosystem, and Jenni and I are breaking it all down for you in this one. Today we look at where you should start in terms of a self-audit, how the three essential skills of money help you identify exactly where you should be pouring your energy based on the current stage of your business, and so much more. Whether you are a brand-new creator building from scratch, a seasoned pro looking to scale without burnout, or a leader trying to determine why your high revenue isn't translating into profit, this episode will light the way for what to do next!

What the heck do you do you do when the thing that used to light you up just doesn't anymore? When you feel like you're staring into a future that looks like nothing but uncertainty and you can't figure out which direction to go? I brought back my friend and high-performance coach Brad Bizjack for one of the most honest, rich conversations we've ever had on this show. We share the real meaning of fulfillment, the trap that keeps high achievers stuck in a cycle of burnout and delayed happiness, and what it actually looks like to architect a life on your own terms. This one is all about doing a "life audit" and I think it's going to hit home for a lot of you! If this conversation resonates, Brad is running his free five-day life audit challenge starting October 19th called The Success Accelerator. Over 5 mornings, he'll walk you through identifying what you actually want across the three main arenas of life, uncovering the invisible beliefs and inner conflicts holding you back, and rewiring the operating system that's been running your life behind the scenes.
