20 years of The Automatic Millionaire

Good things happen to boring money. In this episode, I sit down with David Bach, a 10X New York Times bestselling author and serial entrepreneur who’s built 7-9 figure businesses, to talk about why wealth is built through consistent habits. We dive into the 20-year anniversary of The Automatic Millionaire, the belief systems he had to break around money, and why making more doesn’t automatically make you richer. David shares about mini retirements, designing your life intentionally, why waiting for “someday” is costing you more than you think, and the practical money moves every entrepreneur and woman needs to know. Tune in to learn why boring money habits create extraordinary wealth.
