For The Love Of Money Podcast | Business | Philanthropy | Entrepreneur | Lifestyle And Success With Chris Harder

Lori and I had this moment on our walk through our new neighborhood in Newport where we realized that we’re building the life that we always dreamed of. We want to share the formula that we’ve used to get here, and even though it’ll look different for everyone, these tips can help you get to where you want to be no matter where that is. Not only do you have to have outlandish and legacy-building dreams, but you have to surround yourself with people who have the same mindset. You’re going to bump up against family and friends who think that you’re going against their lifestyle, but it’s important to remind yourself that you’re becoming the best version of yourself. You also have to be willing to make investments that stretch you, whether it’s in yourself through programs and mentors, or your finances through stocks and assets.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: What we do to keep our dreams alive everyday  The struggles of going against family patterns Addressing people who told us we were getting caught up i

Lori and I were reflecting on how we keep investing in these amazing opportunities, and we realized that there are three key things that are helping us make that happen. We’re at a place now where we can recognize a money-making opportunity when we see it, we both have something strategic to offer, and we’re planting seeds to get connected with businesses that are within our zone of genius. We choose to look at everything as an opportunity to increase our wealth and capitalize on our skills.

By definition, a recession is just two quarters in a row of negative growth for the GDP, or gross domestic product. In a healthy economy when the GDP is growing three to five percent, a recession simply means negative growth for six months. There’s so much misinformation and fear mongering around recessions, but the reality is that they’re a self-fulfilling prophecy most of the time. I break down why you don’t need to freeze your spending and stress out about the possibility of an upcoming recession. I explain my approach to recessions, my policy when it comes to building my own micro-economy, and why you should always have 12 months of runway to help you stay afloat in the event of an economic downturn in your industry.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Why I don’t buy into the panic about economic recessions  The cyclical nature of the economy  The reason why ‘08/’09 kicked my butt, and what I’ve done to ensure that won’t happen again  How I’ve made myself recession-proof    RESOURCES Text DAILY to 310-

Lori and I have noticed this big cultural shift from the hustle and grind mindset to letting things flow and take their natural course. Which one is better? Like most things, I think it’s best to exist somewhere in the middle of the two extremes. We talk about learning how to hustle with boundaries, giving yourself at least one day a week to be present, and practicing intentional planning. There are moments and seasons when you’re going to have to give it your all, but recognize that you and your team need time to recharge afterwards. Lori and I share how we’ve found the balance of hustle and flow and our advice for avoiding burnout as an entrepreneur.  IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Figuring out what moves the needle and what’s not worth your energy  Maintaining your morning routine during a busy season  The massive, exhausting hustle that’s behind every accomplishment  Why you need to make your decision and then release it  What we do to rest and recover after a launch RESOURCES:    Text DINNER to 3

You can make a world-changing and life-changing impact with a lot of money. But, you can't make a lot of money if you're not chasing down your big, audacious dreams. I know every single person listening to this show has one of those dreams, and not only are you doing yourself a disservice by keeping it a secret, but also, you’re not letting the world benefit from your innovation. What if people like Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and Oprah were content with their 9-5 jobs and didn’t take the risk to pursue something bigger? We would be living in a much different world, right? It might make you uncomfortable to hear that thinking small makes you selfish, but listen in to hear what I mean by that and what you can do about it.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: The side effects of great wealth  Why you help the world twice when you make a lot of money  Leaders who have made historical changes with their innovation Addressing the fear around taking a giant leap towards your dreams     RESOURCES Text DAILY to 310-421-0

If nothing was considered unrealistic or impossible, what would you want out of life? This question came up in a book that Lori’s reading, The Rhythm of Life by Matthew Kelly, and we discuss exactly what our answers are to that question. We’ve been putting so much thought into what it means to build a life that we love and what needs to happen in order to achieve that. Really getting clear about your answer to this question will help support and guide you when making bold and scary dream-building decisions. We also talk about the importance of taking on challenges and knowing when to close the chapter of something that you’ve outgrown.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Why Lori was inspired to ask me what I want out of life What we’re ultimately working towards  How challenges make you happy  Income opportunities that we chose to leave because they didn’t stretch us anymore  An exciting charity dinner that you can get involved with RESOURCES:  Text DINNER to 310-421-0416 to get more information about t

Keith Yackey has achieved massive success in real estate, investments, and coaching, but he hasn’t always been the focused and intentional version of himself that I know today. We discuss two major events that shook up his routine and made him realize that he needed to make major changes. We talk about how he took the leap from being a pastor and got into flipping houses, created a network in the construction industry, and eventually flipped 200 houses in his first two years in the game.    While Keith fostered an extremely successful career, his role as a husband and father took a backseat, and his wife left him. Instead of giving up, he learned how to love himself and prove to his wife that he could be the man that she needed him to be, and their relationship is now stronger than ever. Keith shares his tips for men who are finding themselves in the position he was in five years ago and the importance of integrity, discipline, and self-respect when it comes to winning your partner back.    IN THIS EPISODE, W

When you look at your banking app and see what your checking and savings account add up to, what’s the number that makes you feel safe? We all have that amount in our heads and when we see it, we tend to kick our feet up, give ourselves some leniency, and slow down our hustle. My number one money hack to counteract this behavior, is that I will purposely move money out of these accounts and put it somewhere smart, so I can go to work getting back to that “safe” number. By making yourself drop below that number, you'll do the scarier, tougher things, and you’ll make the moves that you need to in order to get back to that place of abundance. That might sound crazy, but listen in to hear why it works every single time.   IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: The biggest reason we stop creating wealth  Why urgency is such a powerful motivator  Grant Cardone’s epic approach to this philosophy  Learning how to embrace fear    RESOURCES Text DAILY to 310-421-0416 to get daily Money Mantras or Business Perspective messa

Every morning, I start my day with a blank page and four journal prompts. I reflect on what I’m grateful for, what I want to manifest, why I’m working, and one goal for my relationship. It’s simple, effective, and this practice has totally transformed how I approach the day. It’s just five to ten minutes of quietness and acknowledging the good things in my life. I’m sharing why this method has been such a game changer for me and how I’ve been able to stay consistent with it. Listen in if you’re ready to get every single day started off on the right foot.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Why this type of journaling works for me  How I came up with the four prompts  The question that has made the biggest difference for me  Examples of answers for each prompt  The difference between wanting and manifesting    RESOURCES Text DAILY to 310-421-0416 to get daily Money Mantras or Business Perspective messages to boost your day.     CONNECT WITH CHRIS Follow Me: @chriswharder Visit My Website: https://chrisharde

When you celebrate other people's moments of abundance and accomplishments, it reinforces to them that the hard work to get there was worth it. That positive reinforcement is going to make them go do it again. Plus, when you start to celebrate other people’s wins, you feel good. And when you feel good, you’re reminded that those things are worth pursuing for yourself. Today, I want to share a story of celebrating other people’s financial accomplishments and the ripple effect that those moments have on the economy. Because when everybody’s winning in the economy, that system turns around and rewards you as well.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: An inspiring story about Ruben, a man that works in my neighborhood  Why it’s important to slow down and celebrate other people’s moments of abundance  Ways to engage in an equal energy exchange  An update on the Fast Foundations Mastermind RESOURCES:    Text FAST to 310-421-0416 to reserve one of the last spots in the Fast Foundations Mastermind.  Text DAILY t

I just hosted one of my weekend Elite Mastermind group sessions and Lori and I both feel so recharged from the amazing guest speakers and talented people who were in that room. Lori shares something that executive life coach Adrian Koehler said, which is, “What do you know for sure that you spend way too much time trying to prove is false?” It made me think about where my decision making is coming from and how to lead from a place of trust.    I was really impacted by what Dan Fleischman, a genius marketer, had to say about people waiting for this ‘bubble’ to pop. With all of the resources and advances in technology that we’ve seen since 2010, there’s no way we’re going to have a repeat of the mid-2000s recession. Listen in to hear more about what was covered at the mastermind this weekend and why it’s so important to get yourself into these kinds of rooms.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Background on Adrian Koehler and Dan Fleischman, the incredible guest speakers at the Elite Mastermind event this week

The key to abundance is to look to the future and let go of the past. You need to dream, manifest, plan, journal and seek evidence that supports how you want to feel, where you want to go and what you want to achieve. Forget about where you've already been. Thinking about what you could’ve, should’ve or would’ve done in the past isn’t going to help you align with your future self. In today’s episode, I’m sharing how this outlook shift has changed mine and Lori’s lives, plus one of my favorite exercises to help keep you on track for a positive and successful future.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Ways to help you feel more abundant  How we’re programmed to look into the future, not stay stuck in the past  Seeking positive propaganda  The easiest part of getting rich    RESOURCES Text DAILY to 310-421-0416 to get daily Money Mantras or Business Perspective messages to boost your day.     CONNECT WITH CHRIS Follow Me: @chriswharder Visit My Website: https://chrisharder.me

Lori and I believe that if we only did things that we wanted to do each day, we would eventually get bored because we would lack purpose and challenge. Lori and I are working really hard on embracing the growth and learning experiences that are being presented to us through Lite Pink and my new FinTech app. We discuss why your ideal days might not actually be what you’ve dreamed they’d be because so much of our happiness comes from getting over obstacles. We talk about how we’re learning to embrace the tough days right now instead of wishing them away and waiting for a life that doesn’t have them.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: What our ideal days look like  Accepting delayed gratification  Understanding the role that challenge plays in happiness  The importance of constantly learning and growing    RESOURCES:    Text DAILY to 310-421-0416 to get daily Money Mantras to boost your day.     CONNECT WITH LORI Follow Lori: @loriharder Follow Lite Pink: @drinklitepink Follow Earn Your Happy: @earnyourha

I recently had the pleasure of sitting next to a kind and successful retired entrepreneur on a flight home, and he was nice enough to impart some wisdom with me that I want to share with you all today. There's a difference between being frugal in order to put yourself in a good situation and then continuing to be frugal when you don't have to be. At some point, you have to reward yourself. When you're motivated by tangible things, sometimes that's more powerful than being motivated by something that you can't really see, feel or touch. It’s also important to resist the temptation of instant gratification and buy it when you can really afford it. Listen in to hear more of our conversation and how I have weaved this advice into my life.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Recognizing your success and rewarding yourself  Why it's powerful to be motivated by tangible items  The generous side effects of being successful  How to determine when it’s the right time to buy your dream item   RESOURCES Text DAILY to 3
