Today, we have Brian Preston on the podcast. Brian Preston, (CPA, CFP®, PFS) is the author of Millionaire Mission and Founder & Host of The Money Guy Show.
Brian lays out a nine-step system for building wealth with the money you already have in his new book: Millionaire Mission.
We cover the five levels of wealth, financial order of operations, and the mindset needed for wealth building. Brian also discusses the importance of balancing savings and enjoying life, understanding the difference between being rich and being wealthy, and the impact of savings and investing on one's financial journey.
I really enjoyed this conversation with Brian, and I hope you do too.
