It’s been said many times that our habits create our life, which is why we need to have positive habits if we want to achieve positive results for our future. But our habits can also lead us down a different road and create negative results. The impact of habits is true in every area, especially when it comes to money and protecting our financial freedom. If we want to, we all have the capacity to change our lives. Doing better –thus being better– goes beyond our words, it comes down to our will. We need to be willing to put in the work and the time to BE better, and that's where our habits become crucial: they define what we do and how we do it. Changing our habits, however, is not an easy task. That’s why in this episode I'm sharing the six steps you can take to start changing your habits in a positive way that will lead you to financial freedom. Once there, I want to give you 15 habits that every millionaire has that have helped them achieve that financial freedom.Today our conversation includes:Benefits of developing good habits.A six-step framework to building a habit.15 habits that millionaires do that are worth having.Resources used: Ep 040: Getting Out of Debt The Affluence Way Ep 024: What To Do With Your CashReady to set an unshakeable financial foundation?Join the VIP EXCLUSIVE LIVE Experience called The Affluent Entrepreneur LIVE.

How to talk about money with your spouse can be a challenge to say the least and often ends up in fights. Let's face it the #2 cause of divorces is money.But it doesn't need to be that way.

Too often we focus primarily on the return we can make when looking at investments. I know I did that many times but investments and any transaction for that matter can’t be made solely on the possible returns you may get.Here’s why…The return of an investment or your portfolio ALWAYS needs to be made in the context of the risk you are willing to accept to make the investment. When we ignore the related risks we stand to get hurt financially by making decisions that are far riskier than we might have planned or imagined.Every choice that we make comes with a risk, and our capacity for risk is not constant -- it changes over time and it’s affected by our unique circumstances. That’s why we need to understand how to avoid taking unnecessary risks.In this episode, I break down the components of risk and what you need to specifically consider for your investments and your portfolio. You’ll learn about three pillars that are important when evaluating your risk capacity, and how you can make decisions when looking for safe and smart investments.The goal is to achieve financial freedom without jeopardizing your future and your family in the process. That’s why learning to evaluate risk is so important, and that’s what I want you to take out of this episode.Today our conversation includes:What is The Risk Profiling Triad™? How to define your target so you know specifically what your goal is as well as when do you want to get there? The difference between asset allocation and asset diversification and why it matters.Resources mentioned: Ep 51: A framework for financial independenceReady to set a solid financial foundation?Join the 7 Day Money Plan Workshop by clicking hereConnect with me:Website: MelAbraham.comYouTube: MelAbraham.com/tube/Instagram (@melabraham9): MelAbraham.com/ig/Facebook Group: MelAbraham.com/group/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@melhabrahamCheck out my book:“The Entrepreneur's Solution The Modern Millionaire's Path to More Profit, Fans, & Freedom” - melabraham.com/book/
