Grant Sabatier Podcast

In this episode, my friends Logan and Matt join me to discuss three different ways we're making money online: e-commerce, content, and SaaS. Logan runs a portfolio of successful Amazon FBA and e-commerce brands, Matt recently launched a rapidly growing app, and I own a portfolio of content websites. Making money online is becoming more competitive, but there are still great opportunities if you're willing to think differently and keep experimenting.

In my first solo episode in two years, I share my thoughts on whether you can still make money online, the future of the Creator Economy, my website holding company, my personal brand strategy, my next book, and more life updates. I've also recently re-opened my FIpreneur community to new members, so if you're interested in using entrepreneurship to accelerate your journey to financial independence check out https://grantsabatier.com/community

In this episode, I chat with Haroon Mokhtarzada, serial entrepreneur and CEO of Rocket Money, about how he sold his first company Webs.com for $125 million, how he escaped feeling lost after the acquisition, what financial independence means to him, and how he grew and sold his second company TrueBill to Rocket Companies for $1.5 Billion. We also dive into the most important metrics that matter in any business if you want to grow, as well as the opportunities and challenges of taking on outside investors. Haroon shares his simple framework for whether it makes sense to get investors or keep your freedom and more. I loved this conversation and I'm excited to bring more entrepreneurs on the show.

In this episode, I mix it up and answer 10 listener questions from across the financial independence journey. 1. What are some of the tradeoffs you wish you didn't accept?  2. I feel really stuck at my job. It’s not that I hate it, I just feel like I worked a really long time to become a partner at my firm and while I’m making more money it’s really unfulfilling. What should I do? 3. What are some strategies/tips to pursue financial freedom with a partner that doesn't exactly see the big picture? 4. Anyway, I was wondering if you had any advice on how to deal with going from where we are now being in the entrepreneur mindset and pretty burnt out to being retired?  5. What is the most valuable business skill that I develop? 6. Any tips for being patient on the long stretch between step 5 of having 2yrs of expenses saved then step 6 of financial independence?   7. I’m deep in debt and can’t even imagine how I could reach financial independence. I want it, but don’t see how I can get there. Any tips? 8. I lost my job during the pandemic and I’ve been struggling to find a new one. How did you stay motivated when you were unemployed?  9. Can you explain your money mindset?  10. What does it feel like to be rich?
