Sometimes in the business world, less is more. You can’t possibly expect to be great at a million different things, so trying too much at once can result in failure. Remember, money can be the most creative expression of your creativity. Failure is inevitable and needs to happen in order to learn. Don’t be afraid to fail. Rich’s guests today are dealing with their own personal struggles as they transition into the coaching world. 

Sarah got her Ph.D. in archaeology only to make the move to Portugal, meet the love of her life, and launch a coaching business, which is now oversubscribed. For some reason, she has forgotten just how brilliant she actually is. Tony served as a financial leader for a billion-dollar corporation before building his own financial consulting business. He is struggling to figure out how to bring his genius to his own business. Monica became a manager in the corporate world at 28 years old. For more than 13 years, she was a successful leader in an Austrian bank, yet she is being held back by her fear of failure. Each one will experience their own insight and realize how powerful they really are.
