5 Money Tips I Wish I Heard In My 20s (1:1 with James Laughlin)
Most people struggle with money—not because they don’t earn enough, but because they don’t know how to use it. If I could go back, here’s what I’d do differently (and what I’d double down on). Whether you’re just starting out or looking to level up your financial game, this episode is for you.
What You’ll Learn:
✅ Invest in Yourself First. The best ROI isn’t in stocks or real estate—it’s in your skills, mindset, and knowledge.
✅ Adopt an Abundance Mindset. There’s always room for greatness. Focus on opportunities, not limitations.
✅ Diversify Your Income. One income stream = high risk. Build multiple to create security.
✅ Put Your Money to Work. Saving alone won’t make you wealthy—investing will. Automate and forget it.
✅ Live Below Your Means. A high income means nothing if you’re drowning in debt. Smart spending = real wealth.
