How do your daily behaviors, choices, and habits impact your financial future? More importantly, what are the essential habits to cultivate if you want to create wealth?I’m going to answer these key questions in today’s episode and go even further. I’ve always found that building wealth is like building anything else in life - if you adopt strong habits, those habits become the norm. They become second nature. Understanding and learning the key wealth habits of successful entrepreneurs is a good starting point. These habits will help you build a solid foundation for your wealth, enabling you to create a lifestyle that is both meaningful and financially secure.It's time to take control of your financial destiny, and this episode is the perfect place to start!IN TODAY’S EPISODE, I DISCUSS: The seven wealth habits that will help you build your financial futureThe four wealth drivers matrix and how each of them impacts your overall wealthWhen is the right time to investRECOMMENDED EPISODES FOR YOU If you liked this episode, you'll love these ones:Creating Wealth & Freedom Through Acquisitions Getting Out of Debt The Affluence WayOvercome Your Money StoriesBreaking Through Your Money Mindset BlocksSUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS FOR FUTURE EPISODES: www.askMelnow.comTAKE THE FINANCIAL FREEDOM QUIZTake this free quiz to see where you are on the path to financial freedom and what your next steps are to move you to a new financial destiny at http://www.YourFinancialFreedomQuiz.com  OTHER RESOURCES:7-Day Money Plan Workshop: https://www.TheMoneyPlanWorkshop.comAffluent Entrepreneurs Private Facebook Group https://www.melabraham.com/group/CONNECT WITH ME:Website: MelAbraham.comYouTube: MelAbraham.com/tube/Instagram (@melabraham9): MelAbraham.com/ig/Facebook Group: MelAbraham.com/group/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@melhabraham\GET MY BOOK:“The Entrepreneur's Solution The Modern Millionaire's Path to More Profit, Fans, & Freedom” – melabraham.com/book/

How do you measure wealth? If you ask most people, they’ll tell you that they measure it by what’s available in your bank account. However, I actually believe that you measure your wealth in time. Then, when you do that, you start to look at the dollars differently.Here’s what I know, no matter how much money you have in your accounts, if you aren’t in control of your time, it is a poor existence because you’re beholden to someone or something else out of your control.My guest today, Megan Sumrell, is going to be a must-listen as you’re trying to create your affluent life because there’s more in common than you think between time and money management: they’re both limited and a result of our behaviors and choices. Megan, like most of us, reached a point in her life where she realized that trying to juggle multiple roles was not sustainable if she wanted to build a truly rich and fulfilling life. That’s when she decided to do things differently and found that a thriving life came from harmony, not from trying to find balance. Get ready to be equipped to take control of your time so you can continue taking control of your future. When you start controlling these two resources of time and money and use them in the present to create movements and missions that align with your purpose, you will find that you’re living the richest life possible.IN TODAY’S EPISODE WE DISCUSS…The correlation between time and money and how they’re key as you build your affluent lifeMegan’s TOP Framework for time management, organization, and productivityWhy you need to have a big-picture vision before determining your daily actionsStrategies you can start implementing today to take control of your time and maximize how you use itHow to navigate feelings of guilt as you start allocating time to new prioritiesHow to plan for uncertainty and volatilityCONNECT WITH MEGAN:Megan’s app: ThePinkBeeWebsite: www.megansumrell.comMegan’s podcast: www.megansumrell.com/podcast SUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS FOR FUTURE EPISODES: www.askMelnow.comTAKE THE FINANCIAL FREEDOM QUIZTake this free assessment to see where you are on the path to financial freedom and what your next steps are to move you to a new financial destiny at http://www.YourFinancialFreedomQuiz.com  OTHER RESOURCES:7-Day Money Plan Workshop: https://www.TheMoneyPlanWorkshop.comAffluent Entrepreneurs Private Facebook Group https://www.melabraham.com/group/CONNECT WITH ME:Website: MelAbraham.comYouTube: MelAbraham.com/tube/Instagram (@melabraham9): MelAbraham.com/ig/Facebook Group: MelAbraham.com/group/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@melhabrahamGET MY BOOK:“The Entrepreneur's Solution The Modern Millionaire's Path to More Profit, Fans, & Freedom” - melabraham.com/book/

What does it actually mean to truly live a life that matters? As much as I always speak about money, wealth, and business, living a life that matters is about the richness of your days. It’s about meaning, impact, and living life on your terms.We need to examine ourselves and our minds, and get clear about what we really want out of life. Spending time with your thoughts will help you take intentional action toward the goals that are relevant to you.So today, I want to help you conduct that self-exam by following a framework that will reveal who you are, what you have to offer, and the steps you need to take to get closer to your unique vision of significance.Once you have that clarity, you will start making choices today so you can get closer to the life you envision for tomorrow. You can start living a life that matters right now, so I can’t wait to share this framework with you!IN TODAY’S EPISODE I DISCUSS…My 5-step framework to help you create your own definition of meaning in lifeThe importance of not only knowing who you are and your gifts, but also accepting and nurturing them How to learn to look at what’s possible beyond what’s your reality Why you need to focus on believing the right things in order to take the right actions SUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS FOR FUTURE EPISODES: www.askMelnow.comTAKE THE FINANCIAL FREEDOM QUIZTake this free assessment to see where you are on the path to financial freedom and what your next steps are to move you to a new financial destiny at http://www.YourFinancialFreedomQuiz.com OTHER RESOURCES:7-Day Money Plan Workshop: https://www.TheMoneyPlanWorkshop.comAffluent Entrepreneurs Private Facebook Group https://www.melabraham.com/group/CONNECT WITH ME:Website: MelAbraham.comYouTube: MelAbraham.com/tube/Instagram (@melabraham9): MelAbraham.com/ig/Facebook Group: MelAbraham.com/group/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@melhabrahamGET MY BOOK:“The Entrepreneur's Solution The Modern Millionaire's Path to More Profit, Fans, & Freedom” - melabraham.com/book/

News about the economy may make you feel a sense of doom for your financial future. The good news is that this situation has created an opportunity to learn to place our focus, not on the external circumstances, but on the things we can really control: our actions, habits, thoughts, and patterns.So, as much as the world around you wants to make you think that taking control of your finances is complicated, if not impossible under the current circumstances, I am here to break that myth. You have more power than you realize.Remember that wealth depends more on behavior than on money. It depends on your habits, your decisions, and your choices.

Like most of my elite clients, you’re probably on a journey to building generational wealth because you want to make an impact on those around you: your family, your community, and the causes you care about.Today I’m talking about some wills, trusts, and other resources you can put in place to protect your wealth and legacy against potential lawsuits, fees, and even taxes after you’re gone.As uncomfortable as these conversations can be since they involve the idea of dying, they’re a priority that you shouldn’t postpone. In the end, it’s going to be less painful to have them now than to have your family deal with these questions after.Understanding and learning to handle them is an act of love, of protection, of making it easier for everyone around you. I want your legacy to live well beyond your years. I want to see you strive to live a life that outlives you.Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational purposes only and doesn’t constitute financial advice.

When it comes to business growth, the possibilities are nearly endless. However, figuring out the best way to do it, to get more clients, or even how to start a business from scratch, can seem like daunting tasks.Instead of starting from scratch, there’s another option where you can take over another business, already successful, and let that business pay for the purchase price. That’s what my dear friend, Nick Bradley, is here to discuss with us today.You can step in and start growing a business that’s already generating cash flow and expand it, instead of establishing it from ground zero.

With the new year quickly approaching, we all start thinking about our goals, dreams, and resolutions. But when we look at the numbers, we see that most people that set New Year’s Resolutions don’t accomplish them.
