In This Episode You Will Learn About: The importance of your surroundings The pros and cons of comparison The importance of gratitude Harnessing comparison to motivate you   Resources: Text ELITE to 310-421-0416 or visit fortheloveofmoney.com/mastermind to join my elite mastermind group Show Notes: How can you make your surroundings work for you? There is a real danger, as well as an awesome benefit, to being surrounded by people who are more successful than you. We all judge our success against the people around us. If you feel relatively more successful than the people around you, it may feel good, but you may not be tapping into the abundance that’s waiting for you. If you’re surrounded by people who are all more successful than you, you may feel bad, but also motivated to do better. Are you letting comparison hurt you? Or are you making it work for you?

In This Episode You Will Learn About: Starting a gratitude practice Shaking up your old habits Why things don’t make up my gratitude list   Resources: Read: "The Gratitude Diaries"   Show Notes: I’ve always had a strong gratitude practice, but in 2021, I’m pumping it up even more. I’ve started gratitude journaling every day. And, so far this year, out of everything I’ve put in my journal that I’m grateful for, none of it has been things. It’s okay to be motivated by things, especially when you’re just starting out, but the goal is to get to the place where it’s the experiences and the people in your life that you’re grateful for.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: My recommendation for guidance spending Getting to $100,000  without coaching Scaling up your guidance   Resources: fortheloveofmoney.com/mastermind Text ELITE to 310-421-0416 to join our elite mastermind   Show Notes: One of the questions I get most is: How much money should I invest in coaching? Coaching, consulting, retreats, masterminds, and courses all fall under what I call “guidance,” and you will never grow as big as you can if you aren’t investing in guidance. But when you need to spend on marketing and hiring and other things, you need a guide to know how much you should invest in guidance. Everyone’s goals and businesses are different, but I do have a rule of thumb that I’m going to teach you today.

A rising tide lifts all ships, so when you don’t take the time to promote your friend’s latest launch, product, business, or win, you lose the chance of starting a chain reaction of your friends promoting you next time. We are always starting a chain reaction of events that is either in our favor or not, and the more you help others, the more you will get help in return.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: The power of taking advantage of trends Micro-subscriptions The comeback of physical goods How to sell on-brand physical goods   Resources: Text ELITE to 310-421-0416 to find out if you’re a good fit for our elite mastermind fortheloveofmoney.com/mastermind   Show Notes: Let’s talk about two things you should be selling in 2021. Every few years, we see some new trends emerge, and the early adopters who start taking advantage of them first see the most benefit. Then everyone else hops on and, pretty soon, everybody’s doing it and it becomes a little harder to make work. Ideally, you want to be on the front end of a trend so you can maximize its lifespan and get the most out of it. I don’t believe in oversaturation, but you can’t deny the early adopter advantage. If you have any audience at all, you need to start taking advantage of these two trends.   Follow me on social media @ChrisWHarder on Instagram and check out www.ForTheLoveOfMoney.com

I’m going to share the five phrases you should never say as an entrepreneur that, until you clean up your perspective, will hold you back from being the successful entrepreneur you are meant to be.   Follow me on social media @ChrisWHarder on Instagram and check out www.ForTheLoveOfMoney.com

All it requires is just an adjustment on how you view the exchange of money. Every exchange of money is in exchange for value, even if it’s not the value you were searching for. The key is to open yourself up to the possibility of seeing that value for what it is. Follow me on social media @ChrisWHarder on Instagram and check out www.ForTheLoveOfMoney.com

In This Episode You Will Learn About: One of the most raw, emotional moments in our time together How Beckah Shae’s “LIFE” inspired Lori You don’t need perfect clarity to start dreaming   Resources: Listen: “Beckah Shae - LIFE” Want to accelerate your income in 2021? Text “2021” to 310.421.0416 to learn more.   Show Notes: “Don’t get your hopes up” is one of the worst sentences in the English language. Not only is it just rude, it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you don’t get your hopes up, if all you focus on is feeling negative, then you’re going to have a bad time. So, we implore you: get your hopes WAY up, dream like it’s going out of style, and make tomorrow exactly what you want it to be.
