    Get Up Now - Time is of the Essence

    In this raw, no-filter episode, financial hypnotherapist and national certified counselor Kiné Corder delivers a powerful tough-love message: stop waiting and start moving. Kiné challenges listeners to break out of familiar loops that feel comfortable but aren't working, and reminds them that the people they're meant to serve are waiting on them. Drawing from personal stories, client insights, and her signature framework of going over, under, or around life's obstacles, Kiné lays out a clear call to action — define what you want, trust the process, and get your revenue up before the economic window closes. This episode is equal parts motivation, mindset reset, and practical financial strategy.   5 Key Takeaways    1:53 — When a challenge blocks your path, you have four choices: go over, go under, go around, or sit down — and sitting down is no longer an option.  9:42 — Familiar feels safe even when it's harmful; breaking your loop starts with choosing the unknown over the comfortable.  11:49 — What you focus on expands, so stop fixating on what's not working and redirect your energy to what you want.  19:18 — When willpower fails, your "why power" will carry you — get crystal clear on why you want what you want.  22:13 — Time is of the essence: with economic uncertainty ahead, now is the time to get up, raise your revenue, and simplify how you make money. Quote of the Episode "When willpower fails you, why power will fuel you every time. You just have to keep telling yourself your why." — Kiné Corder ⭐ Enjoyed This Episode? Show Some Love!

    Ep. 7.37 - Building in Public - No Deserving Required: Taking a Real Vacation as an Entrepreneur

    Host Kiné Corder opens up about giving herself permission to take a real, two-week vacation — something she admits she hasn't done all year despite constant travel for work. Inspired by a friend's trip and her time learning French in Nice, Kiné reflects on the entrepreneurial guilt around rest, shares behind-the-scenes updates on her Prosperous Barber Network (leadership lessons, new hires, and the "chair sessions" framework), and lays out her big-picture growth goals before signing off to actually unplug. Key Takeaways (0:34) - Kiné announces she's taking a two-week vacation after realizing she's worked non-stop all year. (1:23) - She admits mixing fun and work is essential, since she's "known for fun, but only after the work is done." (7:48) - Handing off video editing to her teammate Dasan is teaching her to balance clear leadership with letting go of control. (11:50) - Her five-phase system — vision, clarity, design, clearing, expanding — helps barbers build their "prosperous life." (15:16) - She reveals her growth goals: 10,000 subscribers, 1,000 members, and 100 elite "Prosperity Pros." Quote "Sometimes you've got to mix the fun and the work together in order to get the most out of it." — Kiné Corder Rate & Review Enjoyed this episode?

    Ep. 7.36 - What's holding you back, I'll tell you

    In this episode, Kiné Cordon walks listeners through the second pillar of her self-development framework: Clarity. Building on last week's vision session — which covers the seven prosperity pillars (wealth, health, relationships, reputation, recreation, time, and location) — Kiné dives deep into the powerful questions she asks clients to uncover what's truly in the way of their goals. She explores why people have opposing internal goals they can't see, why so many struggle to ask for or receive money, and how the brain's pull toward the familiar can either trap us or propel us forward. Kiné also introduces her signature healing question and explains the three-step framework: Vision → Clarity → Design. 5 Key Takeaways  (3:47) — Most people have opposing internal goals without realizing it — clarity reveals the conflict holding you back.  (4:56) — The fear of asking for money (or raising your prices) is one of the biggest barriers between where you are and your vision.  (8:06) — Your brain is wired to seek the familiar, so discomfort during change is a signal you're growing — not a sign you're on the wrong path.  (15:16) — Vision → Clarity → Design is the three-step framework: you can't design the life you want until you've clarified what's truly in the way.  (18:22) — The defining healing question: "Is it okay for you to be okay, even though what happened to you was not okay?" — your answer determines your readiness to move forward. Quote of the Episode "The clarity is going to come from internally. You leading a life where you feel the feeling — like it feels like you want it to feel." — Kiné Cordon 📣 Enjoyed This Episode?

    Ep 7.34 Figuring out where you're going next

    In this solo episode, Kiné Corder gets candid about her own nomadic life — juggling a move from DC to Chicago, then Nice, France, while figuring out where she'll land next. Using her own journey as the backdrop, she dives deep into the concept of vision: what it really means, why most people avoid it, and how to start building one across the 7 Prosperity Pillars — wealth, health, relationships, recreation, reputation, time, and location. Whether you're a barber, entrepreneur, or employee, this episode is a reminder that your life deserves intentional direction, not just survival mode.   5 Key Takeaways • (0:03) — Vision starts with one simple question: do you actually know where your life is going? • (3:46) — Your vision should cover all 7 Prosperity Pillars: wealth, health, relationships, recreation, reputation, time, and location. • (11:45) — If you don't know what you want, start by getting clear on what you don't want — that's a valid first step. • (17:58) — Repeating your vision trains your brain to treat it as familiar, so it unconsciously moves toward making it real. • (19:11) — You don't need 10 years mapped out — just start with a clear, vivid vision for the next 12 months. Quote of the Episode "If you can see it internally — feel it, believe it — then you will soon see it manifest in your life." — Kiné Corder Resources Mentioned Free Vision Session: prosperousbarber.com/resources Vision Session (1-on-1 with Kiné): link in show notes Enjoyed This Episode?

    Ep 7.33 - Investing Made Simple - Explaining changes in my portfolio and asset allocation

    In this candid and insightful episode, Kiné Corder — national certified counselor and financial hypnotherapy specialist — pulls back the curtain on her personal retirement portfolio and explains why she's making major changes right now. From breaking down asset classes (stocks, bonds, crypto, precious metals) to sharing her exact percentage allocations, Kiné gives listeners enough information to take a hard look at their own accounts. She also issues a timely warning: US markets are overinflated, a correction may be coming, and knowing your time horizon could be the difference between a comfortable retirement and having to work extra years.   5 Key Takeaways    (4:07) — Every financial account needs a goal, and every goal needs a time horizon that drives how you invest.  (7:26) — US stocks are dangerously overinflated right now — consider reducing your equity exposure before a correction hits.  (22:49) — Kiné's new allocation: 25% US equities, 15% international equities, 25% bonds, 10% precious metals, 10% crypto ETFs, 15% cash.  (20:53) — Buy low, sell high is the fundamental rule — when MSNBC is talking about a stock, the institutional money is already cashing out.  (26:41) — Don't panic-sell during a market dip; if you own quality stocks, let them recover — one client waited and crossed the million-dollar mark. Episode Quote "Once they're talking about it on MSNBC or all the news channels — it's probably too late. They put it on the news because they want you to start buying it. They're advertising. You start buying it and they're like, 'Thank you. Peace, and I'm out.'" — Kiné Corder   Resources: Recession and market crashing: https://youtu.be/lYTTk35O1-4   Enjoyed This Episode?

    Ep 7.32 - Build in Public - I'm in Nice France, My Relationships, Hard work time

    In this candid solo episode, Kiné Corder checks in from Nice, France, sharing personal reflections on life as a global nomad building the world's largest barber network focused on mental health and money systems. She opens up about the stress of her recent US trip, the challenge of balancing deep relationships with focused business building, and what it really means to work hard intentionally. From a banking scare with her Wise card to awkward French small talk, Kiné gets real about the messy, beautiful realities of living and working across cultures — and why she's choosing her spirit over comfort right now. 5 Key Takeaways: (1:29) - Pouring into your business first is sometimes the most loving thing you can do for your relationships. (3:19) - The American Dream is losing its global appeal — and that shift is a signal, not a setback. (7:41) - Being an ambivert means networking takes strategy, not just enthusiasm. (11:36) - As a nomad, always have a backup financial account — unexpected suspensions can happen anywhere, anytime. (18:05) - Working hard right now is a choice with a clear end goal: an 8-hour work week, four days a week. Favorite Quote: "If I feed my spirit, which is where I'm leaning towards, then my heart gets fed as well." — Kiné Corder Resources: Whole Foods video: https://youtu.be/mHWW9yMgDRE?si=HdsWJnxJ_zYfISRb   Rate, Review & Follow: If this episode resonated with you, please take 30 seconds to leave a rating and review! ⭐ Apple Podcasts – Search "What Keeps You Up At Night Podcast" → tap the stars & leave a review.

    Ep 7.31 - Build in Public - What do I really want and willing to do to get it

    She explores a powerful question every service provider faces: what do your clients actually want from you — and do you even know how to charge for it? Kiné breaks down why barbers give away their most valuable service (emotional support) for free, how to build multiple income streams, and what her business model looks like as she prepares for the SelfSync Suites and a 16-week retirement series. ✅ 5 Key Takeaways:  (0:00) — Barbers provide free therapeutic support without realizing its monetary value — and it's costing them.  (2:06) — Every business needs a foundational revenue stream (the "flagship") before layering in additional income.  (6:38) — Passive and affiliate income — what Kiné calls "all day money" — keeps revenue flowing even while you sleep.  (12:24) — The SelfSync Suites are the ultimate vision: therapeutic retreats fed by barbers, where Kiné truly shines.  (14:02) — Kiné is launching a 16-week retirement series to help barbers build a million-dollar retirement, one step at a time.   💬 Episode Quote: "The weight of those heavy conversations costs you a lot more. So I've been counting the cost — because they need to transfer that cost, and maybe even profit from it." — Kiné Corder 📣 Call to Action: If this episode resonated with you, please take 30 seconds to rate and review the show!
