00:00I am very much pro trying to wire your brain to an idea of abundance, which unfortunately can then just
00:07get still down to like money will always flow to me.
00:10Money will always come back to me, which is not a negative mantra to have.
00:13Let me be very clear.
00:14If you want to say that out loud to yourself every day, I love that for you.
00:19But how are we pairing that with action?
00:21So what are we doing?
00:23Looking at things like, are you in control of your money?
00:26Are you saving?
00:27Do you know how you're spending?
00:28Are you investing?
00:29Are you upskilling so that you can move up in your career?
00:33Are you figuring out how to bring more money in?
00:36You know, so much in personal finance does fixate on cut, cut, cut.
00:40Right.
00:40As opposed to how can we expand?
00:43Yes.
00:43And again, that's a way where I feel like an abundance mentality is very positive.
00:47How can I expand my skills?
00:49How can I expand the ways in which I earn instead of just how can I control this as hard
00:54as I can and cut down to the bone in order to save as much as I possibly can?
00:59Yeah.
00:59Yeah.
00:59Yeah.
