What's going on, Million to Mindcast, fan? Welcome into today's show. As always, your host,

Maddie A. Today, I wanted to share with you some harsh truths that I think will really serve

many of you on your journey to unlocking financial freedom, building wealth,

and ultimately just unlocking more fulfillment and happiness and purpose in your life.

These are some things that I've been writing down over the years that, obviously, many of them

have been from other mentors, other teachers, other friends, and just wisdom that I've gained on my journey to

financial freedom and really things that I wish I would have known a little bit earlier.

These are sometimes, a lot of them are actually harsh truths about the world, about business,

about relationships, that ultimately, when you can wrap your head around these things

and have empathy around some of these things, have purpose and intention around some of these

secrets to life, lessons to life, it's ultimately going to allow you to accelerate,

becoming a better leader, becoming more financially abundant, making a bigger difference

and impact in your career or in your business or within your team or in certain relationships

with your health. And I wanted to share those with you today. Because as you listen to this,

this episode is getting launched while I am on vacation with my family in Hawaii. And when I first got into entrepreneurship, I used to dream about being able to take vacations with my family and still be able to make money.

To go and have insane adventures and experiences while still being able to be productive and purposeful in my career or in my business.

And as I was thinking about how grateful I am to be where I'm at today and obviously,

you know, having bigger goals, bigger dreams, things that I'm working towards,

which you know many of you can relate to, right, hitting a milestone.

And then it's like, okay, cool, I hit that.

That was hard.

That was great.
