Summary

Julia Carlson is an 8-figure entrepreneur, a top ranked financial advisor by Barron's and Forbes, author of Money Loves You and Let’s Get You Fired, and speaker who’s spent more than 25 years helping women build real wealth without burning themselves out in the process. She has built and scaled multiple companies, including a financial services firm, while raising a family. Today, Julia helps women entrepreneurs scale to 7 & 8 figures by firing themselves from the day-to-day and stepping into true CEO leadership to build businesses that create freedom, impact, and legacy. To give us insight into what that looks like in practice, this conversation will focus on the identity shift required to move from operator to visionary and why doing “more” stops working after 7 figures.

0:55.8	Hi everyone. Welcome back to the show. Today I'm joined by Julia Carlson. Julia is an eight-figure entrepreneur, a top-ranked financial advisor by Barron's and Forbes, author of Money Loves You and her new book, Let's Get You Fire. Julia, I think you just got a copy. Do you want to show it?
