Lori just hit a huge milestone with her show, Earn Your Happy: 1,000 episodes! I'm constantly inspired by her consistency and dedication to the platform she's built and how much value she adds to her listener's lives. Not only am I celebrating Lori today, but I'm also using her accomplishment as an example. All it takes is just one bold move! We tend to get so caught up in the big picture and details that it holds us back from actually going after our dreams. But, with more than 50 million downloads and 1,000 episodes, Lori is living proof that one small step can lead to life-changing results. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Looking back on how far Lori has come since launching her show in 2016 Not getting caught up in the outcome Being willing to take the first step and be a beginner at something Celebrating Lori and everything she does for the Earn Your Happy community RESOURCES Text DAILY to 310-421-0416 to get daily Money Mantras or Business Perspective messages to boost your day.

When it comes to money mindset, a lot of us take advice from well-meaning people or institutions that want to keep us small. I'm breaking down three myths that might be holding you back financially, including why your money shouldn't be sitting in a savings account, how to tell the difference between good and bad debt, and why you shouldn't be racing to pay off your mortgage. There are so many ways to start putting your money to work, but it all starts with your beliefs about what's possible for you and your financial health. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: The reality of the disappearing middle class The lie that big banks sold to us about savings accounts Examples of strategic debt and consumer debt My rule of thumb for measuring how much monthly debt you can responsibly handle Why I tell homeowners to skip the double mortgage payments and invest that money into something that will give them a far bigger return RESOURCES Text DAILY to 310-421-0416 to get daily Money Mantras or Business Perspective messages to boost your day.

Whatever you set your goals or standards to, you're going to maintain that level just like you would when you set the temperature of your home. In this episode, we explore what this concept looks like in terms of our finances, emotions, and risk tolerance. We also share how we've learned to reset our thermostat and push the limits of what we believe is possible.

In this episode, I share some tangible examples of how to rewire your fear-based beliefs so that you can create more abundance in 2023. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: How your language can hold you back financially Patterns that I've noticed in the final interviews that I've been doing with the Elite Mastermind applicants Recognizing when you rely on old safety measures to "protect" yourself Approaching investments from the perspective of possibility instead of scarcity RESOURCES Text DAILY to 310-421-0416 to get daily Money Mantras or Business Perspective messages to boost your day.
