Guest Introduction: Lorna Poole

In this episode, we dive into the real truth about money, wealth, and financial freedom with Lorna Poole, a wealth-certified coach who helps women stop playing small with their finances and start building lasting wealth. Lorna is on a mission to help established female entrepreneurs and professionals ditch money anxiety, invest wisely, and create a secure financial future—so they can live life on their own terms without financial stress.

But here’s the kicker—wealth isn’t just about making money. It’s about what you do with it.

Most people think they’ll start building wealth "someday," but someday never comes unless you shift how you think about money. Whether you're starting from scratch, breaking free from financial dependence, or looking to scale your wealth, this conversation will change the way you see money forever.

3 Game-Changing Takeaways:

✅ Your Money Mindset Shapes Your Wealth Reality – You don’t need to make more; you need to manage it better. Wealth is a habit, not an income level.

✅ Pay Yourself First—Always – The wealthy build assets before spending. It’s not about what you earn but what you keep and grow.

✅ Financial Freedom Isn’t a Dream—It’s a Plan – Wealthy people don’t just hope for security; they set clear numbers, invest smartly, and take action.

🔥 Key Topics & Powerful Insights 1. Breaking Free from Money Myths (05:38)

📌 "Where there's a will, there's always a way. The first breakthrough with money is realizing you GET to have a breakthrough with money." – Lorna Poole

💡 Many believe financial freedom is for the lucky few. In reality, it's about mindset and habits. The most powerful shift? Stop seeing money as something outside of your control and start choosing financial freedom NOW—not when you have "enough."

2. Pay Yourself First—The Golden Rule of Wealth (09:35)

📌 "Most people pay their bills first, THEN themselves. Wealthy people do the opposite—they invest in their future first." – Lorna Poole

💡 The #1 mistake people make? Paying everything else first and hoping to save later. The wealthy think differently: They treat their financial future as a non-negotiable bill. Whether it's $50 or $5,000/month, putting money toward assets FIRST is the key to breaking the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle.

3. How to Build Wealth with Strategy, Not Just Hustle (16:24)

📌 "Most people think wealth comes from making more money. It doesn’t. It comes from what you do with the money you ALREADY have." – Lorna Poole

💡 Money isn’t about hustling harder; it’s about making it work for you. Without a wealth plan, money will always control you. The wealthiest people don’t just make money—they make it grow. Simple investment strategies like index trackers, real estate, and tax-free accounts can build financial security over time.
