## Resource

We’ve been sold a very one-sided version of wealth where building a $1M business is the ultimate goal. In this episode, I break down why a $1M portfolio is actually far more powerful, far more freeing, and far less reliant on your time and energy. Because the difference between a cash machine and a wealth machine is what determines whether you stay stuck working for money… or your money starts working for you.
