The Truth About Enough: On Money, Freedom, and Living Your Own Script

What if “enough” wasn’t a number… but a mindset?

We spend our lives chasing more—more money, more status, more certainty—believing it will finally buy us freedom. Yet for many of us, every milestone only moves the goalpost. Neel Parekh’s story is a radical invitation to step off that treadmill and ask: What if you could stop running and start living?

Neel Parekh didn’t just leave the corporate grind; he walked away from the inherited scripts of “safety first” and “play it small.” After years in private equity, Neel traded spreadsheets for a backpack and spent seven years traveling to 55+ countries. Along the way, he discovered that wealth wasn’t about accumulation—it was about alignment.

Neel now runs a fully remote, million-dollar franchise business while helping others reclaim time, location, and financial freedom. His transformation isn’t just about building a business—it’s about rewriting the definition of success so it serves your soul, not your fear.

Pillar-Aligned Takeaways:

Mindset (Inner Wealth): Your upbringing writes your money story—but you get to edit the script. Neel’s shift from scarcity-driven habits (like guilt over ordering an appetizer) to conscious, values-based spending shows how identity drives financial freedom.
Purpose (Life Design): Traveling the world revealed a profound truth: there is no single “right” way to live. Your life is a choose-your-own-adventure book—and freedom comes when you start turning your own pages, not the ones handed to you.
Wealth (Profit with Simplicity): Neel’s embrace of Profit First brought simplicity to his finances—proving that financial clarity isn’t about complex spreadsheets but about creating systems that make intentional living automatic.
Time (Lifestyle Freedom): Building a business that runs remotely gave Neel the ultimate currency: time. His story is a reminder that the real ROI isn’t just money—it’s the ability to design your days around what truly matters.

Money Learning:

“The most elusive part of money isn’t how much you make—it’s knowing when you have enough.”

Neel’s breakthrough came when he realized “enough” is an inner state, not an external milestone. By separating his financial systems into clear buckets (like Profit First) and redefining success by freedom, not comparison, he shifted from chasing wealth to living it.

Guest Bio:
