We're celebrating Lori's birthday! It's the perfect time to check in and talk about where she's at and where she wants to go in the coming year. I ask Lori some reflection questions that we encourage you to emulate (either for yourself or with your partner). It's important to acknowledge milestones and make them feel celebratory. For Lori, even though 41 was the toughest year of her life, she can also see that she's accomplished so much and really made herself proud of the person she's became in the process.

I'm coming off the happiest year that I have ever had and that's the same thing that I wish for you. I want an abundance for you in every possible way, shape, and form. One of the things that went into having one of the best years of my life is that I started deciding how I wanted to feel. As we are heading into the New Year, I want to share how I did this with you. It is one of the simplest, but also one of the toughest things to do. However, it will make the biggest difference in not just how you build your business or your wealth, but also in how you live and enjoy life. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Chris and Lori's morning mantra What parts of your life benefit from choosing how you feel The power of choice and decision making Areas of your life where you might be in your own way RESOURCES Text DAILY to 310-421-0416 to get daily Money Mantras or Business Perspective messages to boost your day.

Yesterday I had the amazing opportunity to go with Lori to the Brendon Burchard Coaching Summit, where she was speaking. When we were backstage talking with Brendon, the subject of not getting hung up on money came up. Brendon said his famous line, "You need money to sustain the message". In today's episode, I discuss that one of the biggest things you need to do as an up-and-coming business person and entrepreneur is clear away some of these limiting beliefs and artificial ceilings that you have put on yourself. The biggest is when it comes to earning money, which people somehow think is selfish or greedy. I share my tips for overcoming that limiting belief and harmful money mindset. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Limiting beliefs and the barriers that we place on ourselves How to turn your feeling of selfishness into selflessness How to reach the people that need to hear your message RESOURCES Text DAILY to 310-421-0416 to get daily Money Mantras or Business Perspective messages to boost your day.

Last night, Lori and I celebrated the birthday of our friend at a black tie, old Hollywood-style gala that he threw. It was amazing! It was the perfect excuse to get dressed to the nines, go out dancing all night long, and to be around our friends and incredible human beings. While we were there — surrounded by people wanting to have the same conversations as us and feeling immense amounts of gratitude for that — we were reminded of the sad reality that takes place when you're in a crowded room of people who aren't on the same page. Usually, it results in shrinking yourself and your values. On the flip side, one night of high-end conversations can actually change your life, and that is why you will sink down or rise up depending on if you're outnumbered by positive or negative people. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Stopping to appreciate how hard you have worked Why stretching to work with the best is always better than taking shortcuts The difference it makes to surround yourself with like-minded people RESOURCES Text DAILY to 310-421-0416 to get daily Money Mantras to boost your day.

I've been preparing for 2023 and I want to share with you what three areas I'm concentrating on in that planning: your numbers, your audience, and your people. I am going to address where you should be trying to stretch yourself in these three areas, while also knowing that you're playing within the real world of what is possible. In today's episode, I show you that there are no excuses to not hit your goals in 2023. I promise if you apply all of this — your goals, your dreams, and that incredible year you want — it's going to come true for you. But you have to put in the work right now. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Knowing your numbers by using Chris' technique of working backwards Defining your "rented" audience and your "owned" audience How to surround yourself with the people who will help you reach your goals and who will make good collaborators RESOURCES Text DAILY to 310-421-0416 to get daily Money Mantras or Business Perspective messages to boost your day.

As I celebrate my 45th birthday, I've been taking some time to reflect on five lessons that have really helped me get to where I am today. I wish when I was younger, someone would've told me that you have to be unapologetic about your message and purpose, and worry less about the few naysayers in your life. I've learned that you need to monetize what brings you joy, be a creator instead of a consumer, and play the long game. My eagerness to learn and consistent gratitude practice have also played a huge role in my success. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Why this past year has been the happiest one of my life Taking ownership over your narrative and destiny What I've gained in my life as a result of becoming a more open person The power of accumulation RESOURCES Text DAILY to 310-421-0416 to get daily Money Mantras or Business Perspective messages to boost your day.

One of the best ways to be more prosperous is to really dial in how you think about and view your earning potential. The simplest way to retrain your inner belief about your income is by incorporating mantras into your routine. I share the three money mantras that have radically transformed mine and Lori's ability to consistently hit our financial goals and find creative ways to diversify our revenue streams. In my experience, once you start actively changing your thought patterns, your actions will follow suit.
