What's your relationship with money like? Financial challenges are often tied to mental stigma and what we are conditioned to believe about money - even as children. Often, being conditioned to believe a certain way or having expectations about money can lead business owners to carry shame about their current business or financial situations, which can lead to poor business or financial choices. This week’s episode is all about learning to have a relationship with money that allows you to create success.
