On the face of it, Mel Abraham was doing everything right…

 

Business was great… 

 

He was flying all over the country… 

 

Money rolling in…

 

But then his 5-year-old son handed him a drawing… 

 

… and Mel realized he was screwing up the one thing that actually mattered.

 

As entrepreneurs, we're quick to measure our wealth in dollars. 

 

But money alone can't give you freedom. So in this episode, we sat down with Mel to talk about what actually does.

 

We get into how you can create true freedom… so your life feels full, rich, and rewarding, including:

 

  • The difference between earning money vs. making money

  • Why the ideas of "passive" income is a myth

  • What financial freedom actually looks like (Mel gives one of the best definitions I've heard)

  • Why striving for work/life balance is keeping you stuck in mediocrity (and what to aim for instead)

  • A better way you can measure your wealth (it's not dollars)

  • The FIVE income types every entrepreneur should know

 

… and more.

 

Mel's story is inspiring… and I don't say that lightly.

 

Ponzi schemes… surviving cancer – Mel's had what he calls a "million dollar education"... and he's sharing his hard-won wisdom.

 

This episode could change how you feel about money, freedom, and what really matters.
