They say you should surround yourself with people that reflect who you want to be and how you want to feel. Their energy is contagious.

It was great to have our good friend Chris share his story that many of us can relate to. Good at his job, being well paid and living the typical “blokey” lifestyle. Chris knew that wasn’t for him and pursuing a life of helping others with their physical and mental health was going to be his new way.

An enjoyable listen and a story we can all learn from and relate to. Check it out on the link here

In a week where we recognise our own and other’s mental health we acknowledge the part that money can play, both good and not so good.

Stop turning your wants into needs.

It’s probably easier to spend less than earn more.

Write down what you spend money on (watch out for those subscriptions).

Do you have financial dreams rather than financial goals?

Spending plans over budgets.

Most people overestimate what they can do in twelve months and underestimate what they can do in ten years.

Thanks so much to Glenn Sharp and Andrew Rowan for sharing some valuable tips and insights.

So much to take away from this episode.
