EPISODE 568: Unsure whether you’ll have the income you need to live life on your own terms? Tune in as Liz and Andresa sit down with Mary Lyons to reveal what your financial planner isn’t telling you, along with how to create wealth that actually feels aligned. If you’re ready for a more grounded, fulfilling approach to building wealth, this episode is for you.

What to listen for:

• Maintaining a scorecard based on other people’s expectations keeps you from feeling fulfilled, no matter how much money you make. (00:56 )
• Breaking your big vision into a tangible plan will let you use money as a tool to build a satisfying life, but you have to know what you want. (12:05 )
• How to compound income rather than focusing solely on building net worth, because your cash flow determines your lifestyle. (19:21 )
• The importance of getting liquid when you have underperforming properties to replenish your capital and get your income flowing again. (24:44 )
