Description

In this behind the scenes episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on exactly how I invest in my business, the philosophies I live by when making those decisions, and what’s actually been worth it (plus the flops I wish I’d skipped).


I’m breaking down the good, the bad, and the ugly of my own investments. What’s helped me scale to a multi six figure business, where I’ve wasted money, and the lessons I wish I’d learned sooner.


Whether you’re wondering where to start investing or how to avoid expensive mistakes, this episode will give you real, practical insight you can apply right away.


What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • The mindset shift that changed the way I look at investing
  • The exact categories I invest in year after year to grow faster
  • My biggest bad and ugly investments and what I learned from them
  • How to know when it’s time to hire help (and who to hire first)
  • The key questions to ask yourself before spending money in your business
  • Where product based vs. service based businesses should invest first for maximum ROI
