As a parent, it’s never too early to start talking to your kids about money. Before you know it, they’ll be going off to college and getting their first job as a young adult. At that point, they’ll probably have questions about how much they can afford to spend and whether or not they should invest in a 401(k).

The value of saving early with compounding interest. How to start the process of teaching your kids about managing expenses. The difference between a traditional and Roth 401(k).

Many entrepreneurs and business owners will admit that it’s easy to get caught up in sales, numbers, targets, and growth. But at what cost? As you’ll hear in this conversation, the sacrifices people make to build a 7, 8, or even 9-figure business can leave their family and loved ones wishing they could enjoy more time with them instead of enjoying the fruits of their labor.
Today, we’re thrilled to have Michael Hyatt on the podcast. Michael is the Founder and Chairman of Full Focus, which has been featured in the Inc 5000 list of Fastest Growing Companies in America and Inc’s Best Workplaces. He’s also scaled multiple companies, including a $250 million publishing company with 700+ employees, and has written numerous bestselling books, including Your Best Year Ever, Free to Focus, Win at Work and Succeed at Life, and Mind Your Mindset.
In this conversation, we get into what Michael is doing to take a back seat in his business without exiting entirely, how to prioritize the Double Win in life and work, and why your most important purpose hasn’t been fulfilled if you’re reading this right now. 
In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:
How the lessons Michael learned about exits and retirement from his long career in business informed his own transition plan.  What happened when Michael had enormous success in business at the cost of his home life–and how he rethought his approach to show up for his family.  How Michael has helped clients cultivate a vision for their life after the 40+ hour workweek.  The beauty of finding work-life balance–and why purpose is at the heart of it all.  Want the Full Show Notes?
