The Chris Harder Show

It doesn't matter how much money you make – we all suffer from the occasional feeling of not having enough or wishing that we were in a better financial situation. The number one habit that helps me shift out of that scarcity mindset is by starting my day compiling all of the financial resources I have, including retirement accounts, equity, and investments. I guarantee this practice will help you feel more abundant and take advantage of money-making opportunities that come your way. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: The root cause of feeling broke, even when you're financially stable Advice for anyone who feels anxious parting with their money Different ways to take daily inventory of your finances Why it's important to have crystal clear visibility into your finances RESOURCES Text DAILY to 310-421-0416 to get daily Money Mantras or Business Perspective messages to boost your day.

Trust me, a mediocre effort produces mediocre outcomes, and there's nothing worse than knowing you let yourself down. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: What I mean when I say 'sprint season' The pain of living somewhere between going all in and taking it easy Examples of how this concept shows up in different areas of life The reality of what happens when you don't pursue your goals with ambition RESOURCES The Ed Mylett Show: The Power Of Persuasion w/ Stephen A.

When you surround yourself with dreamers and accomplished individuals, it's inevitable their energy starts to rub off on you. Proximity is crucial for building social capital, but sometimes it requires you to stretch out of your comfort zone to live or work in a certain area.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Why my trainer chooses a longer commute instead of working at the gym that's five minutes from his house Proof that relationship capital is the most important capital you can build Looking at where you can invest your resources into high-quality connections Ways to normalize success and surround yourself with positive propaganda RESOURCES Text DAILY to 310-421-0416 to get daily Money Mantras or Business Perspective messages to boost your day.

I have a real world example that proves how having an abundant mindset will infinitely make you more money, but having a lack mindset will do the exact opposite. You can't put a price on a strong recommendation and word-of-mouth marketing, so when you do right by your clients, you'll be rewarded in ways that you never even dreamed of. Listen in to hear how I saw this principle work out in my life recently and the giant reminder that it gave me about keeping the client experience at the forefront of business decisions. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: The two different experiences I had with contractors working on our house How to shift out of a scarcity mindset Simple ways to reward businesses that go above and beyond Proof that if you do the right thing, everything works out in your favor RESOURCES Check out Chalene Johnson's program on how to monetize social media: loriharder.com/impact Text DAILY to 310-421-0416 to get daily Money Mantras or Business Perspective messages to boost your day.
