What if the secret to greater financial clarity isn’t just a new strategy—but a new state of mind?
It’s easy to think of financial growth in terms of numbers—budgets, returns, timelines. And yes, those matter. But after decades of mentoring individuals and couples through wealth-building, retirement planning, and investment strategy, I’ve come to see something deeper:
Financial success begins with how you think and feel.
That’s why I’m so excited about my guest and good friend, Patricia Barnett. Patricia is a bestselling author, international speaker, performance coach, and the creator of Elevate, a mindset and performance program rooted in real transformation. She’s someone who understands—through her own remarkable journey—that breakthroughs don’t begin on the outside. They begin within.
Today, Patricia shares her signature framework:
“The 7 Keys to a Happier, Healthier, and More Productive You.”
At the heart of her message is this simple but powerful idea:
Happiness isn’t just a mood—it’s a transformative mindset. And it changes everything.
The Research Behind the Mindset
We’re not just talking inspiration here—we’re talking evidence.
Gallup reports that only 31% of U.S. employees are engaged at work, the lowest level in over a decade. This collective state has earned a name: The Great Gloom. It’s affecting not just productivity, but overall well-being—and yes, financial outcomes.
Meanwhile, a study from Oxford University’s Saïd Business School shows that happy employees are 13% more productive. And Morgan Stanley reports that 1 in 5 adults say financial stress directly affects their work performance, with many losing over three hours per week to worry and distraction.
The takeaway? A positive emotional state doesn’t just make you feel better—it helps you perform better. In life. In business. And in finance.
