Craig and Meredith Bennette had everything they were told would make them happy—stable jobs, steady paychecks, and a clear path forward. But when faced with a life-altering choice—relocate for work or step into the unknown—they chose the terrifying path of uncertainty. A family health scare reminded them that time, not money, was the real currency, and they walked away from the corporate world in search of something more.
Their first attempt at entrepreneurship, driven by financial fear, led to frustration and misalignment. It wasn’t until they prioritized personal growth and clarity that everything shifted. In this episode, they share why chasing money first is a losing game, how self-work fuels success, and why your business—and life—will never outgrow your mindset.
If you’ve ever felt stuck or afraid to take the leap, this conversation is your sign. Tune in now and subscribe to keep exploring the human experience.
Key Takeaways
1. Your Mind is Lying to You – Every negative behavior or emotion is rooted in an unconscious belief formed in childhood. Until you rewrite that belief, it will control your actions.
2. Healing Yourself Heals Others – Parents unknowingly pass their own traumas to their children. True generational change starts with self-love and breaking unconscious cycles.
3. You Are Already Enough – No amount of money, success, or validation will make you feel worthy if you don’t believe it yourself. True fulfillment comes from within.
Key Takeaways
- Money Follows Purpose, Not the Other Way Around – Chasing money first led Craig & Meredith down dead-end paths. When they prioritized clarity and personal growth, everything changed.
- Your Business Will Never Outgrow Your Mindset – No amount of effort will fix a broken foundation. Personal growth is not optional; it’s the prerequisite for lasting success.
- Incremental Change Creates Massive Transformation – Rewriting limiting beliefs doesn’t happen overnight. Small, believable mindset shifts compound into a new reality.
