In this episode, I break down why anxiety around money doesn’t mean you’re bad with it—it often comes from an inherited belief system—and I share the steps I’ve seen top entrepreneurs use to rewire how they think about wealth. I start by identifying your “money story” from childhood and how scarcity scripts shape decisions, then explain why treating money like a scorecard leads to comparison-driven, emotional choices. I explain how to shift from scarcity to strategic abundance by asking whether decisions are fear-based or strategy-based, and how to treat money as a tool with a job rather than a reward (including the impact of mental accounting). I argue the highest ROI is investing in your own skills and network, and close with building automated financial systems—like recurring investing and dollar-cost averaging—so progress doesn’t depend on daily willpower.
