But, if you're not feeling like you're there yet, listen in to hear more about my new course that's going to help you monetize your own skill sets and bulletproof your future. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Why it's important to frame your personal financial goals with the size of your business Valuing your free time and creating memories with your loved ones How to build your net worth and live your dream lifestyle with your small business What to expect from my upcoming course RESOURCES Text BULLETPROOF to 310-421-0416 to get on the early access VIP list to my new course.

We're joined by our good friend Lindsey Schwartz of Powerhouse Women for today's He Said, She Said! We each share one moment or event of expansiveness when we did something that felt either scary or irresponsible or unreasonable, but it became this moment that radically upleveled us. Lori talks about how back in 2009 when we were starting over again from scratch, we rented an apartment in a ritzy building in Minneapolis, even though it was tiny and out of our comfortable budget range. We wanted to be around people who were at the level we wanted to be at, and over our 18 months of living there, we made it happen. Lindsey talks about her decision to attend her first mastermind event and how she learned to make decisions based on what her future self would do. Plus, I touch on my decision to go all-in on my FinTech company and partner with someone who can help me reach my $100 million goal. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Getting yourself into the environments where people are at the level you want to be at Evaluating who you're sharing your ideas with How to make the most out of networking events Asking bold questions and being transparent about numbers How to know when you're dreaming big enough Why it's good to sometimes feel like the least experienced person in the room RESOURCES Text DAILY to 310-421-0416 to get daily Money Mantras to boost your day.

Fiercely committed to supporting other women, Lindsey invests her time in mentoring women and girls of all ages—from high achieving entrepreneurs to high school students. She's also an investor in female-founded companies including beverage brand Lite Pink. After seeing numerous women in her life stop short of pursuing their own entrepreneurial dreams because of fear and self-doubt, she saw the need for more honest conversations about the ups & downs of entrepreneurship in order to show women that they don't have to have it all together to get started. From there, the Powerhouse Women community, annual event, and podcast were born, with the motto that we're not meant to do business (or life) alone!

I'm working on some of the biggest legacy-building projects of my life right now, and I'm finally at this sweet spot in creating abundance that matters, but also having the time and energy to make choices that align with my goals and values. I've been in situations where I didn't have the money to make the choices I wanted to make, and I've also been at the other end of the spectrum where I had the money, but didn't have the time to enjoy the fruits of my labor. I'm now in this middle ground, and I want to share my four tips for how to make that happen. Let this be a reminder that, yes, abundance matters, but what's equally as important are the micro choices and paths that we take to get there. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: How to build wealth and keep your choice at the same time Focusing your strategy around your priorities Learning how to share the challenge and lean on your network Defining and upholding your boundaries Celebrating the results of your hard work RESOURCES Text DAILY to 310-421-0416 to get daily Money Mantras or Business Perspective messages to boost your day.

When I was in school, my teachers always said that if you wanted to investigate something, you have to ask the five 'W Questions': who, what, where, when, and why. Today, I want you to apply that thinking to figure out what's holding you back from the financial level that you want to be at. I get into how to evaluate who you're hanging out with, what's going to get you to your goals, when you work best, where you're living, and why you've set that certain number in your head. I share what my answers are to those questions and more about my quest for $100 million. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: How the people you surround yourself with impacts your ability to dream big Figuring out what streams of income you can add to reach your financial goals Honoring the time of day when you're most creative and motivated Getting into the cities and rooms where major collaboration is happening Having a larger purpose for making a financial legacy RESOURCES Text DAILY to 310-421-0416 to get daily Money Mantras or Business Perspective messages to boost your day.

I just got done with some one-on-one coaching calls that I do with everybody in my Elite Mastermind, and I noticed a theme in those conversations. People are planting seeds for bigger dreams and gaining so much clarity in their businesses by going to in-person events. We made it work for two years by doing things via Zoom and online groups, but this is your wakeup call to get back into those physical rooms. I share three examples of the power of in-person networking, whether it's something that's already organized, or you take the initiative to launch your own event. There are plenty of opportunities to go and collaborate, find your next business partner, discover your big idea, or seek guidance from your peers and industry leaders. So, what's stopping you? IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Why you don't know what you're missing until somebody can hold up a mirror for you and share other experiences One of the biggest clues that you don't have a good team How in-person events can help boost your business What you can gain from in-person networking events that you can't get online RESOURCES Text DAILY to 310-421-0416 to get daily Money Mantras or Business Perspective messages to boost your day.

Lori and I had this moment on our walk through our new neighborhood in Newport where we realized that we're building the life that we always dreamed of. We want to share the formula that we've used to get here, and even though it'll look different for everyone, these tips can help you get to where you want to be no matter where that is. Not only do you have to have outlandish and legacy-building dreams, but you have to surround yourself with people who have the same mindset. You're going to bump up against family and friends who think that you're going against their lifestyle, but it's important to remind yourself that you're becoming the best version of yourself. You also have to be willing to make investments that stretch you, whether it's in yourself through programs and mentors, or your finances through stocks and assets. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: What we do to keep our dreams alive everyday The struggles of going against family patterns Addressing people who told us we were getting caught up in the 'California lifestyle' Choosing to hold yourself to higher standards and bigger dreams Why you can't reach your goals by playing it safe RESOURCES Text DAILY to 310-421-0416 to get daily Money Mantras to boost your day.
