ANECDOTE

Sahil's Family Time Wake-up Call

Sahil Bloom left a high-paying job to move closer to family after realizing he had limited time left with aging parents.
This drastic choice increased his time with loved ones dramatically, proving time wealth is within control.

INSIGHT

The Five Types of Wealth

Wealth includes five types: time, social, mental, physical, and financial, with financial wealth often the least important alone.
Many chase money as the sole success measure, but this can lead to a Pyrrhic victory, winning money but losing life quality.

INSIGHT

Money's Role in Happiness

Money buys happiness only up to a point by reducing unhappiness and fulfilling basic needs.

You’ve Made More Money Than You Ever Thought Possible—So Why Doesn’t It Feel Like the Life You Wanted?

What if money isn't the ultimate measure of success? My conversation with bestselling author Sahil Bloom seriously challenged the way I think about wealth, and I have a feeling it’s going to do the same for you.

In this episode, Sahil shares how a wake-up call led him to walk away from a prestigious job and move across the country to prioritize family, purpose, and time freedom. And if you know me, you know this conversation hit home in a big way.

Sahil breaks down the invisible pressures we carry as entrepreneurs and offers a framework that creates room for joy, health, and deep connection. If you've ever felt like you’re chasing the next big revenue goal but still not getting closer to the life you really want, this is your chance to reset.

Plus, there’s one question he shared that I can’t stop thinking about: If you were the main character in a movie of your life, what would the audience be screaming at you to do right now? Think about it and then DM me on Instagram (@amyporterfield) and tell me your answer. Seriously, I want to know!
