This is one of those episodes you're going to want to have a pen ready. Linda is sharing some wonderful insights on what wealth really is, and also how you can build wealth. My favorite highlights from this episode where Linda really goes against the norms of the only way to build wealth is to go without (the frugalist movement) and that learning from mentors who have actually built wealth not just learned about it.

This is easily one of my favorite subjects because this is one of the things that when executed well is what stands between you and social media being a total waste of time.

I talk the power of automation when it comes to social media and also when automation goes too far how it can be a serious brand killer.  ResourcesKick Ass Now Bundle - Available NOW!Twitter ListsConnect with MeGet YOUR question on a future episodeEmail me at hello@thestaceyharris.comTweet with me and include #HittheMicBe sure to leave your review on iTunes or Stitcher for a shoutout on a future show Support the show

Those priorities are key as I plan the next year. I'm diving in on this and a lot more in this episode. Even sharing exactl
