Have you had an idea or passion for a business but are not sure what steps you need to get there? Do you find that your desire to build your business is leaving you falling short? While ideas can be easy to come by, sometimes transforming that idea into an actual business can be daunting. In addition we can often feel that we have to know everything before we start, but that just keeps us stuck.
In this episode I talk with Tony Whatley and we discuss how to turn your passions and desires for business into an actual goal that you can accomplish. It’s easy to get caught up in the emotion and excitement for a business, but that won’t carry you through to completion. From excuses we make, to feeling that we are not ready we dive into all the hard subjects we have to face when determining to start a business. We even tackle the infamous fear of failure. This episode is jam packed with how to overcome your fears.
Questions I asked:
- What was your biggest failure?
- How do you handle negative family members or friends?
- How do people who are miserable in a career branch out into a side hustle?
Topics Discussed:
- The importance of goals.
- How excuses and our actions keep us from our goals.

This week I sat down with Justin Krane, author, money strategist, and frequent guest on MSNBC to discuss how we empower ourselves financially.
Check out the podcast HERE
I love Justin’s message because he encourages his clients to ENJOY life. Instead of feeling guilty about buying a five dollar coffee drink, he says that we should at times indulge in small pleasures. Although he agrees that we need to live and spend responsibility, he has a refreshing way of teaching how to go about that.
We discussed many things in this episode including the power of delegating and creating a solid team around you, the importance of human capital, and how to develop a prosperity mindset.
This is an incredible episode for those who may feel at a loss with their finances or struggle with knowing how to balance a budget and still enjoy life.
Questions I Asked Justin:
- How can we create better systems in our business?
- Should we save for retirement?
- How do we clear our mental blocks about money?
Topics Discussed:
- Why men should not dye their own hair
- The importance of getting on the “money scale”.
- The importance of delegating.
