Scott now spends his time helping people get out of debt faster, save more money, and retire rich. He is the radio and podcast host of the Scott Alan Turner Show and best-selling author of 99 Minute Millionaire. In today's episode, Scott shares how he dug himself out of the financial hole and created enough wealth to retire at age 35. We explore how he overcame every hurdle and mistake along the way, such as when he lost $40,000 when he first started investing. Scott also shares how aspiring entrepreneurs should be thinking about their personal finances based on his own experience of starting a successful business in his 20's. My biggest takeaway is that there are a lot of people giving financial advice out there, but it's not always good advice. Be careful who you listen to and make sure to do your own research before going all-in on any investment or wealth-building strategy. I hope you find this episode helpful and it can serve as a tool to help you get your finances right. Enjoy! Check out more info from Scott at ScottAlanTurner.com.
