EP #246 It Ain’t About the Money

The money is nice but it won’t give them want they want.

I’ve worked closely with money for 15 years. It’s hard to believe I studies broadcasting two decades ago. I hope it makes me a better podcaster but what about financial planner? Here me out…

I can count on one hand the amount of people (out of thousands I worked with) who’s final goal was a number in their bank account. 99.9% people had another desire in their life.

This tells me how important it is to help people find fulfillment in their work - more important that financial riches.

The money is table stakes. Pay people what they are worth - but after that, there’s a lot of work to do to build a generous culture of which people want to be a part.

Have a generous rest of your week. 😀
