Understanding your finances, investing like a pro, and reaching the financial freedom you’ve always wanted.

As an entrepreneur, I'm sure you know how important it is to understand your finances. You're the one who's solely responsible for bringing it in every month, and it can be super stressful and confusing, right?! 

I'll be honest – when I first started my entrepreneurial journey, I really struggled with my finances. I didn't know how to plan ahead, invest, or make smart financial decisions, and I made a lot of mistakes in those early days. But it doesn't have to be the same for you! 

Today, you're in the best hands to learn those skills and much more with brilliant CPA and extremely successful entrepreneur Mel Abraham.

It's an incredible resource with practical and actionable steps to help you build a solid foundation for financial success.  

Mel also opens up on how he managed an extremely scary cancer diagnosis. It was then that he saw the financial challenges small business owners face and decided to put his principles into his book. My friend, with Mel's wisdom, you can build wealth like never before and finally achieve the financial freedom you've always wanted.

How to avoid having “desperate energy”, making frantic decisions, and being in complete panic mode in your business. 

If I had to guess, I would say that you've experienced moments in your entrepreneurship journey where things just didn't go as planned. You know, those launches that don't take off, promos that fail to convert, or your email list subscribers that keep going away? It's incredibly frustrating, and you may be tempted to move on to the next project or pick up the pieces immediately. But hold on! Before you do that, I need you to listen to this episode! 

It's completely natural to feel a sense of desperation when things don't go your way, but I’m telling you my friend, you really don't want to get caught up in what I call "desperate energy." This energy can cause you to panic and frantically scramble to find a solution without making a second thought, and it's so not helpful for your business! 

Oh, and I've been guilty of this myself, and even my brilliant CEO called me out about it a few months ago. So I know that people don't want to work with someone who has this habit! In today's episode, I share my top advice for avoiding making frantic and desperate decisions for your business when things aren’t going according to plan. 

In this episode, I talk about: 

3:05: What “desperate energy” really means for your business 

4:05: My experience with having desperate energy when I’m stressed out 

7:23: Practical strategies for closing revenue gaps in your business to avoid making frantic decisions 


11:02: Why you need to stay cool, calm, and confident in your interactions and relationships 



Listen in and embrace these tips! I promise you’ll stay cool, calm, and confident in all of your interactions and relationships.

Turning your FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) into JOMO (Joy Of Missing Out) so you never feel burnt out again.

Ever feel like you’re just stretched way too thin? Oh, I know I have! As entrepreneurs, it's so incredibly easy to become overextended. We all want to grab every opportunity that comes our way, take on every task, and say yes to every chance we can for more exposure. Trust me my sweet friend, saying yes to everything might seem like the right thing to do at first, but it's a super slippery slope. 

Early in my entrepreneurial journey, I used to take every single opportunity I was given because of the fear that I might miss out on something. That's right – I was feeling the dreaded FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). But, I would get SO burnt out SO quickly! That is, until I eventually realized that most of the things I was doing weren't actually in service of my long-term goals as a business owner. 

So, in this episode, I’m here to share my biggest pieces of advice for avoiding burnout, open up about my experiences with it (so you can learn from them, of course!), and share my tips and tricks for prioritizing what's truly most important to you and your business. 

Today, you’ll hear about: 

2:27: The importance of setting goals for your business and how I set my quarterly and yearly goals 


4:06: Advice for knowing when to say “no” to opportunities 


9:36: Why you need to get super clear on the season you're in, your values, and your priorities 


11:13: Questions to ask yourself that will help define exactly what you want 



Listen and get ready to turn that FOMO into JOMO (Joy Of Missing Out)!
