5 Words that Made $1 Million: How This Bought Back My Life

In 2017, I met Bill O'Hanlon - author of 40+ books, Oprah guest, and the mentor who completely transformed my life. I've always said that when you have the opportunity to learn from someone who's achieved what you want, you have to take action immediately. That opportunity won't always be available.

Thank God I followed my own advice.

When I asked Bill to mentor me, I had NO IDEA how much that single decision would change everything. Bill showed me what's possible when you stop trading time for money and start building systems that serve your life instead of consuming it. 

His guidance is why I'm living a lifestyle I could only dream about seven years ago.

In this conversation, Bill shares his transformative journey from a successful but burnt-out speaker to a thriving online coach and course creator. 

We discuss the ripple effect of one conversation that changed both our lives. 

We also talk about the balance between freedom and obligations in entrepreneurship and the impact of transformation on individuals' lives all while enjoying our own fulfilling lifestyles.
