In this first of four episodes on the money mindset, you'll discover how to become aware of your money story, and how that is the first step to unlocking your potential millionaire mindset. You may have been programmed for saving, spending, managing, mis-managing, investing, or earning, and how that may be linked to your financial freedom and relationship with money.
