How to Build Yourself—and Your Wealth—with Candy Valentino


Listen Later

What if your challenges weren’t roadblocks but stepping stones to your greatest success? Today, I sit down with Candy Valentino, a powerhouse entrepreneur who turned her modest beginnings into an empire. Candy opens up about the grit it takes to thrive in business, the lessons learned from her groundbreaking ventures, and how overcoming personal hardships shaped her path to building wealth and inspiring others.


At just 19, Candy broke barriers by starting her first business in a male-dominated industry, back when women couldn't even secure business loans without a man’s signature. Her journey is packed with lessons on perseverance, resourcefulness, and the importance of clear intentions. But Candy’s story isn’t just about business—it’s about rising above trauma and turning pain into purpose.


This episode dives into actionable strategies for anyone—whether you're dreaming of starting a business, growing one, or simply redefining your life. From Candy's "proof paper" exercise to reframe challenges as fuel for success to her insights on why buying a business can often be smarter than starting one, this conversation is a masterclass in resilience and intentionality.


Key Takeaways:
  • Follow-Through Is the Differentiator: Success isn't about starting strong; it’s about finishing strong with persistence and grit.
  • Entrepreneurship Isn't the Only Path: Why being a #2 or #3 in a great company can lead to financial freedom—if paired with wise investments.
  • Recession-Proof Businesses: Hidden gems like home services, bookkeeping, and trades are creating modern millionaires.
  • Leveraging Challenges: Candy’s "proof paper" technique will remind you of your past victories and fuel your next breakthrough.
  • Creative Financing: How to use seller financing to buy revenue streams without breaking the bank.


    This is more than just a conversation—it’s a reminder of what’s possible when you commit to building not just a business, but a better version of yourself. You’ve overcome so much to get here. What’s stopping you from taking the next step?
