#17 What is Your Motivation for Building Wealth?
People dream of getting rich - fancy vacations, luxury toys, never ending fun. Sounds perfect, right? But what if we told you that chasing wealth might just make you miserable? Because, the real question isn’t so much HOW to build wealth - it’s WHY you want it in the first place.
We start this episode with a tale of Two Millionaires. One was living a flashy lifestyle financed by debt who lost everything. The other was a simple man who lived a humble life and he died with $8M in the bank.
Join us for an exploration of the human psyche and how our emotions drive behavior.
