How do we shift from having a scarcity mindset to one of abundance? Host Joey Vaillancourt is coming in hot with today's insights, from beautiful Belize, Brazil.

Joey is on holiday with his family, contemplating how a family vacay simply would not have been possible were he still living in the scarcity mindset.

Introspective and sincere as ever, our host is happy to share the lessons he's learned in getting there, from focusing on opportunity cost over penny-pinching, giving without expectation of return, and outsourcing tasks to gain more family time.

Joey also offers sage advice on choosing money management mentors wisely, becoming aware of where limiting beliefs come from, and how to start small by practicing abundance thinking.

This episode is just the tonic for those of us settling into the new year with the right balance between work, play, and family - and the right mindset to go with it.

"Opportunity cost is my main measurement that I'm focused on. What does it cost me to do a task, a project? Or an hour of my time? And how much could I save? ~ Joey Vaillancourt
