Live Life Rich Book liveliferichbook.com Website: www.marissanehlsen.com Instagram: @marissanehlsen Facebook: facebook.com/marissa.nehlsen Twitter:@MarissaNehlsen LinkedIn:linkedin.com/in/marissa-Nehlsen Eight-figure founder and wealth strategist Marissa Nehlsen returns to share how married entrepreneurs can build real wealth and protect what matters most at home. From her North Dakota roots to stewarding multiple Costa Rica retreat properties, Marissa unpacks the mindset shifts that moved her from hustle to harmony—where profit funds purpose, family, and freedom. She reveals why "keeping moving" doesn't mean doing more; it means making better, braver decisions with crystal-clear purpose. We dive into Marissa's practical frameworks: the What if / What for / What's next lens for vision, her five-question execution filter (Why, What, Who, How, When), and the habit of "giving every dollar a job." She challenges us to know our numbers, clean out calendar and business clutter, and decide what we're truly trading our lives for. You'll also hear simple rhythms she and her family practice—daily walks, weekly dinners, faith time—that keep connection strong while companies scale. Finally, Marissa breaks down her Freedom Plan—three anchors every owner needs to plot their way to time and money freedom: your Freedom Number, Freedom Date, and Freedom Sources. If you're grinding 65-hour weeks to "provide," this episode will help you re-align goals with your spouse, multiply what matters, and design a rich life emotionally, relationally, spiritually, physically, and financially.

What's next? so your growth serves your marriage, not steals from it. Five-question filter for everything: Why, What, Who, How, When—use it to build self-managing companies and a calmer home. Declutter to scale: The right things can't enter a space the wrong things occupy—edit offers, meetings, and even great-but-misaligned commitments. Know your numbers: Profit follows clarity. Track what actually moves the needle and assign every dollar a job. Build your Freedom Plan: Define your Freedom Number (what you need), Freedom Date (by when), and Freedom Sources (how it's funded). Trade-offs on purpose: Decide what you're willing to trade your life for—and confirm what your spouse actually wants (hint: it's often you, not stuff). Rituals that protect connection: Simple daily walks and weekly family meals create the margin for honest conversations and faster conflict resolution. Choose your circle wisely: You become like the five people closest to you—prioritize couples who are growing in both marriage and business. Read for ROI: Open a book's table of contents and jump to the chapter that solves today's problem—then apply it.
