The Chris Harder Show

I've been in New York City this past week and having great conversations with industry leaders and game-changing entrepreneurs. As I've looked at each person and their journey to success, I've noticed three common threads: they all practice radical consistency, powerful networking, and strong money management. I break down what those three traits look like in action and explain how to execute on them. If you start implementing these skills into your life, there's almost no way that you can't be successful in the long run. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Why I believe strategic collaboration is the ultimate shortcut The importance of getting yourself into rooms with like-minded and motivated people Areas where I see successful business owners consistently showing up Ways to look ahead at your financial runway and cash flow RESOURCES If you're gonna make more than $500,000 next year, then go to chrisharder.me/mastermind and fill out that application right away!

2022 has easily been one of my best years yet, and it's all because I took the time to map it out beforehand. I created a template to get really clear on what I needed to add and get rid of in my routine, which has resulted in me having the happiest and most accomplished year of my life. I break down how to set the chart up, examples of what I included in each category, and what I noticed about my life after doing this exercise. When you get really intentional about how to build your best year ever and write it all down, you're setting yourself up for the ultimate success.

I'll be totally honest一when I look at my own stock portfolio, I'm down 43% right now. It's not ideal, but it doesn't have to determine my outcome. In both good times and bad, your results are always all about your preparation. There's plenty of opportunity in front of you, but the key is being able to recognize what they are and capitalize on them now.

The common thread between our happiest, wealthiest, and most successful friends is that they all have a daily manifestation or visualization practice. Lori and I find it so important to set a target every single day and stay consistent with action steps that align with those big dreams. I break down both the woo-woo and logical side of manifestation and Lori explains why you need to really tune into your truth to make this practice work. Plus, we share a simple way to incorporate it into your routine and track progress. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Our New Year's Eve vision board tradition Recognizing the energetic and logical things happening behind-the-scenes in your life Staying focused on the things you want to attract in instead of the things you want to keep out Our message to anyone who's on the fence about manifestation RESOURCES Text DAILY to 310-421-0416 to get daily Money Mantras to boost your day.

I recently got a great question from a listener that I wanted to address on the show because it's something that I'm really passionate about. She asked if proximity matters and my answer is absolutely, yes. Proximity is the shortcut to getting where you want to go. For Lori and I, it required moving to a more connected city, stretching ourselves to live in wealthier neighborhoods, and joining luxury gyms to meet the people who were going to help boost our professional network and increase our reach. Proximity isn't the only thing that matters, but without a doubt, it will make the journey a lot faster and easier. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Why your environment matters The energy shift that happens when you're around high achievers Creative ways to get in rooms with like-minded people The story behind why Lori and I chose the smallest, cheapest condo in a wealthy building when we were starting over from scratch RESOURCES Check out chrisharder.me/mastermind to apply for the 2023 Elite Mastermind.

You know how I always start these Money Monday episodes off by saying that prosperity and generosity can and must coexist? I had an experience the other day that reminded me why that's my life motto. I want to share this story with you as a reminder to always keep your head up, your eyes open, and look for opportunities where you can help somebody that could use a little lift up. I had the chance to help someone out who felt like he couldn't catch a break and just needed a boost to keep going. When I can easily lend a hand to someone in need, it puts it into perspective why all of the hard work and extra hours are worth it. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Recognizing opportunities where you can make someone's day a little better Simple ways to be more generous in your daily life Why giving back to someone was the absolute highlight of my month Making sure that you're not just a passively good person RESOURCES Text DAILY to 310-421-0416 to get daily Money Mantras or Business Perspective messages to boost your day.

I'm joined by one of my good friends Kacia Ghetmiri to discuss everything from overcoming the fear of being a beginner to the importance of investing in yourself straight out of the gate. Kacia is the host of the EmpowerHER podcast and live event, which Lori and I will be speaking at in just a couple of weeks. Both Kacia and her husband have gone through my Elite Mastermind and I couldn't be more proud of the absolute powerhouse couple that they've become. In our conversation, Kacia and I discuss the problem with all the speculation in the media these days and how to stay focused on positive propaganda. We also take it back to the beginning and talk about what it was like when Lori came to me and wanted to invest an uncomfortable amount into leveling up, and I share my advice to anyone who finds themselves in a similar position. Plus, we talk about how to manage multiple emotions at the same time and find the silver lining in every situation. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: How to find a middle ground in the news Simple ways to set yourself up for success before you make a risky move Curating an environment that's conducive to your growth The moment I almost lost all the wind out of Lori's sails (and why I'm so happy that she pushed back) The $74,000 failed investment that I look back on as one of the greatest things that I've ever spent money on RESOURCES Get your ticket to the upcoming empowerHER event: kaciaghetmiri.com/events Text DAILY to 310-421-0416 to get daily Money Mantras or Business Perspective messages to boost your day.
