Today in The Prosperity Perspective, join Liam Leonard and his guest Dr. Stevie Dawn to discuss the basic areas to invest in when reaching unstoppable success. As Dr. Stevie explains her insightful approach to developing competency, here, she explains why she prefers niched coaches rather than general mentors on personal development. In this episode, they also tackle how an individual can find growth and happiness in business without constantly feeling the need to ‘go bigger’ or risking stagnancy. Being a millionaire is great, but does it actually take a million dollars to be happy?

In this episode you will learn:

·         When investing, think about these three (3) basic areas.

·         What do you need to do for the business to run without you?

·         There needs to be harmony between not quantifying your happiness as an entrepreneur and keeping sure your growth is dynamic.

·         On giving shape to safety nets before expanding to other areas of investments. 

·         The ratio between saving and investing.

About Dr. Stevie Dawn:

As a professional speaker and coach, Dr. Stevie Dawn is focused on helping entrepreneurs to unleash unstoppable success in their lives both personally and professionally. She is a 4-time business owner creating multi-million dollar success in the areas of dance, fine art, business, and coaching.
