What You Need to Know as a Business Owner to Get Rich

Melissa Houston Episode 138

“It's not enough to have a good business idea. You need to have the financial structure in place.”

—Melissa Houston

When you hear the word “rich”, what emotion or feeling do you attach to it? Is it a positive notion? Are you proud, excited, and inspired to act? Or are you left feeling bothered, guilty, or even repulsed by it?

At the heart of being rich as a business owner is correcting that negative money mindset that being rich is bad. Getting rich is, first and foremost, more about financial confidence than it is about obscene luxury or vulgarity. In fact, it's a good thing to get rich because you can help others with money.
