The Chris Harder Show

One of the biggest shifts that we've gone through in our businesses is learning how to collapse time by collaborating with experts instead of trying to muscle through everything on our own. Lori and I discuss ways that we've been able to grow faster and more sustainably by getting in the right rooms, building out diverse networks, and outsourcing tasks that aren't in our zones of genius. We describe the ripple effect that this approach has had on our lives and the business outcomes that we've experienced because of it. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Learning how to take action and pivot instead of freeze Taking responsibility when you choose to struggle instead of reaching out for support The domino effect of collapsing time What Lori wishes she could go back and tell herself during the early days of hosting live events Examples across industries of how you can reach your goals more efficiently RESOURCES We're enrolling for the 2023 Elite Mastermind right now!

I'm a firm believer that if you're living a luxurious life, but your family is suffering financially, then you're actually not living a rich life at all. Instead, you're living a greedy life. I want to share a story that really drives home why it's so important to seek financial freedom not just for yourself, but also for your loved ones. I'm highlighting a moment where financial abundance allowed me to make the right choice for my grandma, instead of having to make a choice directed by lack of money. Listen in for more takeaways from the situation that my family and I found ourselves in when my grandma's retirement fund ran out at 94 years old. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: The level of choice and ability I want you to seek for you and your family Why you need to be taking your retirement planning seriously, regardless of how old you are The pride that I have that I can uphold my family values and support the people that I love Reflecting on your bigger 'why' for building wealth RESOURCES Text DAILY to 310-421-0416 to get daily Money Mantras or Business Perspective messages to boost your day.

Lori and I have been pushing up against a lot of resistance lately. But, we've made a commitment to consistently step into resistance because we know that we'll be rewarded for it in the long run. It can be so tempting to choose the easier, more comfortable option, but once you start training yourself to push through the resistance, all of the things that you really want are waiting for you on the other side. We discuss how this has shown up in our lives in the past and set a plan for how we're going to work through the resistance we're feeling right now. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: How we've always gotten something of great value from pushing through resistance Understanding where your feelings of fear and discomfort are really coming from Staying on track with our food and exercise choices The positive ripple effect of making decisions based on your future self RESOURCES Text DAILY to 310-421-0416 to get daily Money Mantras to boost your day.

When you look into the future, you're just inviting in anxiety over something that probably isn't going to happen or isn't going to feel the way that you think it's going to feel.
