In this episode of the Digital Business Evolution Podcast, Jess is joined by the incredible Mel Abraham. Mel is a CPA and founder of Thoughtpreneur Academy and Business Breakthrough Academy where he helps entrepreneurs bring their businesses into the world and build the lifestyle they truly want to live. After finding and conquering a cancerous tumor in his bladder in June 2019 Mel began to teach his The Affluence Blueprint to help entrepreneurs find financial liberation and peace of mind. This process is what he has used to build his business and more importantly focus on what is more important which is not money, but time. 

Jess and Mel talk all about the process of building actual wealth. Learn today about how marketers manipulate your emotions to buy, how to start taking back control of your business and time, destructive debt vs constructive debt and how important it is to separate your business account from your personal account. With all of these tactical tools Mel provides on this episode today you will be on your way to creating and living a truly affluent life!

As always, cheers to your evolution.
