Building connections is an important part of life. Our connections with friends, family, or business can positively or negatively alter the course of our lives.

Today’s guest is Lou Diamond, who teaches us all about connections and communication as entrepreneurs. Wanting advice on how to prepare before getting on a stage, podcast, or before a sales conversation? Then this episode is for you! Get ready to elevate your money, your wealth, and your life.

It is crucial to remember that every contact we have adds value to us, and we must work to make that value beneficial. Each connection we create has the potential to advance or set us back on our journey. In both business and in life, the connections we make can contribute to our prosperity both personally and financially, and the right relationships can help us build a lasting legacy.

I think creating a business is one of the best ways to create a life.

I mean think about it...doing something you love while making a difference to others at the same time you're making money.

Too often we decide to go into business because we want to make a difference AND we would then have complete control and freedom to do what we want in our life. I don't know about you but maybe you felt that way too.

But then the truth hit...

There was no freedom!
There was no control!
There was work.
There was long hours.
There was stress.
There was everything but no control or freedom.

Can you relate?

In this episode, I expose one of the biggest mistakes most entrepreneurs make when trying to create a  life of financial freedom with their business. But then give you the missing element that will give you control and financial freedom.

Today I’m talking to my dear friend, Chris Harder, about how we can lead a rich and wealthy life beyond just accumulating money. If you don’t know Chris, he is a successful entrepreneur, investor, and business advisor. But more importantly, he is focused on impact and generosity through entrepreneurship and how to create lives that are full of richness.

We both believe that wealth creation is less about money and more about the behaviors you have.

We all have the power of changing our behaviors and developing positive habits in order to find the financial freedom we all deserve. It is actually simple if you have the right priorities, processes, and principles at work in your life. That doesn’t mean it is always easy, but it is simple.

You’ll hear some of the struggles Chris and I went through on our journeys and the importance of having a sound foundation to bounce back.

Remember that money is a tool that will help you achieve the life you’ve always dreamed of. It doesn't matter what that life looks like, you just have to remember that it’s not a result of the money that you have, but a consequence of what you choose to do with it. That is what the whole Affluence Blueprint is about.

TODAY OUR CONVERSATION INCLUDES:

• How to earn your income while you're not sacrificing life. 
• How to make investments that can turn into a money machine for the future.  
• Three investments we must have to create our money machine.

How Entrepreneurs Really Build Wealth!

I don't have to tell you that your business can be your most powerful wealth building tool...

But if you are solely focused on your business as your wealth, as powerful as it is, it becomes the single point of failure for your financial future.

The fact is that it isn't just wealth we want to think about, it is about making sure we are living a rich life.

Richness is how we experience life and NOT simply the money in a bank account. Let's face it there are plenty of folks that have large bank account but are fulfillment broke! They are a miserable.

That isn't the way to live. You are meant for more and you deserve more for sure.

Even if you can get the highest returns from your business, there are other consideration to bring into play. In this episode, I give you a framework from wealth, richness and what to coniser beyond how much money you can make.

The way we see opportunities is different for everybody. Some will see them as a risk, some as luck, and others will see a crisis and turn it into something positive for them.

As an entrepreneur, you need to understand what's happening in the financial world so you don’t fall into the trap of making emotional financial decisions. Even if you have a financial advisor, their role is to help you steer towards your goals, but ultimately you are the captain of the ship. Make sure that you’re working as a team towards those goals.

The fact is that it is less about what your advisors want to do for you and more about how they can facilitate the achievement of your affluence vision, no matter how big it is.

We all can change our financial future. As entrepreneurs, you cannot continue traditional financial advice. If you want to create an exceptional life, you need to be exceptional. You need to see what others don't.

TODAY OUR CONVERSATION INCLUDES:

• 4 things to take into consideration when listening to a financial advisor.
• How to keep a long-term view when looking for a financial advisor.
• Why traditional financial advice doesn't work for entrepreneurs.
• Why you may be getting led astray by the advice and not even know it.

Are you getting good advice from your financial advisor
How do you know you have a good financial advisor?
How do you choose a good financial advisor?

Often advisors work in a company that ties their hands on what they can offer you. They also can have biases based on their corporate requirements or even how they are compensated.

The only investments that should be in front of you are those that are the ABSOLUTE BEST for you and your SPECIFIC Circumstances. Unfortunately, many advisors lookat investments based on suitability. I get it suitability is one standard but does not mean it is the absolute best for you.

Realize some advisors are simply sales people and driven by the sales process not the advising process.

So what do you need to look for in an advisor?
What questions should you ask?
What you should tell them you want with respect to your vision and relationship?
