Welcome to episode 211 of Love, your Money! In this episode, I’m interviewing the amazing and eccentric Dia Bondi. If you know my 7 Steps to Wealth framework, you know that Step 3 is ASK. You can't really boost your financial game without making offers and asking for more; ask for a raise, ask for the sale, ask someone to work for you, ask for a promotion…You catch my drift. It's a fundamental life skill, and if you lack it, your progress is bound to stall. If you unabashedly ask, you might hear more "NOs" than if you never asked, but you're also more likely to experience rapid growth and achieve your goals much quicker.Today’s guest, Dia Bondi, fully embraced this concept and took it to a whole new level when she wrote her new book, Ask Like an Auctioneer: How to Ask For More and Get It.In this episode, Dia and I talked about her time attending auctioneer school, where she learned to approach rejection differently. She then turned that simple but profound idea into a workshop, a TEDx

Welcome to episode 206 of Profit Boss® Radio! In this classic episode from the archives, we’re talking about how to stop struggling with chronic debt–no matter how insurmountable it might seem. So many of us struggle with managing debt. Our homes, lives, and budgets can feel totally out of control. To all the moms out there, I know how easy it is to get caught up in all the things that need to get done every day and not even realize that we’re allowing massive deficits to pile up. Financial security suddenly feels out of reach to the point where you just want to snap your fingers and wish it all away. This exact scenario played out for today’s guest, Lauren Greutman. Lauren is a consumer savings expert, author, and spokeswoman who works to help busy moms create financial freedom for their families. She’s been featured on the Today Show, the Rachael Ray Show, Nightline, Good Morning America, Fox & Friends, and WNBC. She’s also the author of The Recovering Spender and Insufficient Funds: One Woman’s Journey

When we grow up around wealthy people who aren’t happy, it can be extremely difficult for us to care about money at all until it’s too late. Once that happens, it can put us at a significant disadvantage as we struggle to find fulfillment in our lives later on. Today’s guest, Kimberly Ann Johnson, learned this the hard way. She’s a bodyworker, somatic experiencing practitioner, yoga teacher, postpartum advocate, and a single mom. She does hands-on work in integrative women’s health and trauma recovery and has written about her experiences in her books, Call of the Wild: How We Heal Trauma, Awaken Our Own Power, and Use It For Good and The Fourth Trimester. On top of all of that, she’s also the host of the Sex Birth Trauma podcast.  Rejecting money and capitalism altogether may feel like a radical stance early in life, but it rarely gives us the power to live happily on our own terms. And today, we’ll be talking about how to live a financial life that’s courageous, effective, and in alignment with your views a

Welcome to episode 204 of Profit Boss® Radio! It goes without saying that most small business owners don’t love their numbers. To make matters worse, they often struggle to decode exactly what their numbers are telling them. This disconnect can make it hard to know what should be on your calendar next week, next month, and next quarter to drive more profits! In this classic episode from the Profit Boss® Radio archives, I’m joined by Danielle Hayden. She’s the CEO and Founder of Kickstart Accounting and host of the Entrepreneur Money Stories Podcast. After 10 years working as a CFO, she realized that her passion was to help women entrepreneurs do something unexpected. Now, she’s laser-focused on guiding them to understand their finances to grow their businesses and become more profitable.  In this conversation, Danielle and I discuss how business owners can make sense of their books to grow smarter, not harder. You’ll learn why entrepreneurs need more than a bookkeeper to create the sustainable wealth they des

Welcome to episode 201 of Profit Boss® Radio! I have another timeless episode to share with you, and we're talking about turning your passion into a money-making enterprise.

Welcome to episode 200 of Profit Boss® Radio! What an amazing journey it has been! I definitely want to thank all of the Profit Boss® listeners for your support and engagement over the years. I sincerely hope that this podcast has added value to your life and business. In today’s episode, we’re talking about how to create and master predictable profits.

This is why I’ve created a powerful new framework and an incredible new Masterclass to help you shorten your financial learning curve. The Masterclass will be February 22nd to the 25th, so be sure to add it to your calendars. When you sign up for 20
