TMBA 440: What's Your Lifestyle Ladder?
Podcast 36:17| Download | Stitcher | iTunes | Comment
Dan and Ian know that today's episode is about a rather sensitive subject.
Not too many people in American society feel comfortable talking about their personal finances. It's somehow taboo to share how much money you are making, or to speak freely about your financial position.
Maybe this is part of the reason that so many entrepreneurs don't open up about selling their businesses. They think that nobody wants to hear them complain about how much money they made.
In this week's podcast, we aren't holding back. Dan and Ian share how they feel about money, how much money they want, and what actual financial freedom looks like to them.
Listen to this week's show and learn:
The ways in which your personal finances can influence your business decisions. (6:35)
How to construct your "Lifestyle Ladder". (8:50)
How having access to debt affects our behavior. (12:57)
What happens when you start to build a basic amount of savings. (18:56)
How to determine what your "Freedom Line" is. (25:53)
