Hey friends, in this video, I'm breaking down the psychology of making money—specifically, the hidden beliefs that school and society programmed into us that are actively sabotaging our ability to build wealth. I'll walk you through the mindset shifts I had to make around sales, risk, value creation, and what "a lot of money" actually means, plus stories from my own journey and students in my Lifestyle Business Academy. Hope you enjoy xx
