  • “If you could go back to yourself before you started making money, what would be the mindset shift that you would have needed to have to go from more lack or scarcity into abundance?”
  • “What would you say then, for those that don’t have money right now, is the frequency or the energy that money is attracted to?”
  • “How has your relationship with money changed then over the last few years, since selling a company to then growing your companies?”
