Summary

You’ve Made More Money Than You Ever Thought Possible—So Why Doesn’t It Feel Like the Life You Wanted? What if money isn't the ultimate measure of success? My conversation with bestselling author Sahil Bloom seriously challenged the way I think about wealth, and I have a feeling it’s going to do the same for you. In this episode, Sahil shares how a wake-up call led him to walk away from a prestigious job and move across the country to prioritize family, purpose, and time freedom. And if you know me, you know this conversation hit home in a big way. Sahil breaks down the invisible pressures we carry as entrepreneurs and offers a framework that creates room for joy, health, and deep connection. If you've ever felt like you’re chasing the next big revenue goal but still not getting closer to the life you really want, this is your chance to reset. Plus, there’s one question he shared that I can’t stop thinking about: If you were the main character in a movie of your life, what would the audience be screaming at you to do right now? Think about it and then DM me on Instagram (@amyporterfield) and tell me your answer. Seriously, I want to know! HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ The Five Types of Wealth – Sahil breaks down the five dimensions of wealth—time, social, mental, physical, and financial—and explains why financial wealth is the least important without the others. 2️⃣ The Power of Defining Your "Enough" – Your expectations are your biggest financial liability. Defining what "enough" looks like for you personally is the only way to feel truly wealthy and avoid a lifetime of chasing moving goalposts. 3️⃣ Create an Anti To-Do List – If you want to grow faster without burnout, try creating an "anti to-do list” of all the habits and mindsets that hold you back from being the best version of yourself.

0:00.0	Hey there, welcome to the Amy Porterfield Show.
0:11.1	You need to recognize a terrifying reality that complaining, blaming, pointing fingers, none of those things get you anywhere worth going.
0:20.0	Because the terrifying reality
0:21.6	is that you are in control of everything. It is all on you. Nobody is coming to save you. But the one
0:29.5	thing that you can count on is that you are entirely capable of climbing back all on your own.
0:37.3	You're entirely capable of squeezing every all on your own. You're entirely capable of squeezing
0:39.4	every single thing you want out of life, of doing all of the hard things, of figuring it out,
0:46.2	of meeting your responsibilities with energy and enthusiasm. You are always at the wheel
0:52.0	in your own life, and it's your responsibility to just never let go.
0:59.3	When Hobie and I started couples counseling, we constantly had these conversations around the fact that I
1:07.2	worked a lot and he was retired. And that's a really weird dynamic in a relationship.
1:13.3	And so a lot of the times I'd be working way more than he wanted me to work. And I would say
1:19.6	things like, you know, we want nice things. We're building this beautiful home. And we have a
1:25.5	lifestyle that we've created. And I have to work in order for that lifestyle to work.
1:30.7	And so I was really defensive about it.
1:32.9	And he said, I'd rather you not work at all.
1:37.6	And we live in a tiny home and sell everything just so that I could have more time with you.
1:47.5	Oh, it just kind of like hit me in the gut.
1:53.7	And here's the crazy thing. He's totally telling the truth. Like, Hobie loves our lifestyle and the special things we get to do and he's excited about the home we're building. But he'd also just give
1:58.8	it all up in a minute if it meant that we were happier in a certain way
2:04.2	or had more time together, whatever it might be.
2:07.9	And so my goal is to have a lot of time together and have this beautiful life that we have
