Let me say something to you that might trigger you at first. You need to be broke. Now, not forever, not as an identity and not as a destination, but as a lesson. Most people are terrified of being broke. They avoid it at all costs.
They pretend it's not happening. They hide it from friends if they are broke, if they're struggling or financially in debt, they hide it from family. They don't want to feel the shame of that. And they hide it from themselves.
And worse, they judged themselves for it. And there was a time in my life when I was completely broke. No savings, no real income, and no clear path forward on how to make money. It was actually kind of terrifying for me at that moment. I was sleeping on my citrus couch.
