On my ongoing journey towards Personal Development Mastery, I changed the format of Thursday's episodes. So instead of adding more knowledge, I revisit the previous episodes and consolidate the wisdom imparted by my guests.   This episode's topic is money mindset, finances, and wealth. Why do people struggle to become financially successful? The causes and the solutions. I revisit episodes #022, #035, #039 and #051, and share the wisdom of 4 of my guests (Jamie York, Harry Singh, Genecia Alluora, and Rich Waterman).   𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: * What is the main reason people struggle to create financial success? * What is your money thermostat and how can you increase it? * Spending money to save time vs spending time to save money * How can we create more financial wealth? The concept of 'Igikai'.   𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗼𝘁𝗲: "Time versus money? One of those resources is limited, the other is unlimited."   𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲: I can help you to launch and scale your own top-quality podcast, even if you aren't tech-savvy and are limited on time: https://bit.ly/7stepspodcastguide   𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁: I am Agi Keramidas, a zealous podcaster and a knowledge broker.
