Welcome to a brand new episode of The Generation Wealth Podcast where I talk about one of the most important skills that you need to master if you want to grow your life and business: pruning.
Pruning is the process of intentionally removing what’s not serving you, so you can create more space for what does.

We often hear the terms growth and scale used interchangeably when it comes to business. Business growth is about increasing top-line revenue at any cost. This can be achieved by investing in marketing, sales, and product development. However, growth can come at a cost, as it can lead to increased expenses and a need for more employees. Scaling is about increasing revenue while minimizing costs. This can be achieved by finding ways to become more efficient, such as automating processes or outsourcing tasks. Scaling can be a challenge, but it can lead to increased profits and a more sustainable business. On today's episode I am breaking down the differences between growing your business, scaling your business and how to determine which road you are on.
IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:
- The quality vs quantity of your business output
- The critical role customer service plays as you scale
- How to generate more revenue with less resources

Wealth Habits book launch is officially here! To celebrate, I’m giving you a sneak peek into Chapter 6 of my book: The Secrets to Building Multiple Streams of Income. This chapter is part of the third wealth habit, Earning Your Way to Wealth. I hear so often from people that they believe millionaires need to have seven streams of income, which actually isn’t true. Millionaires typically have four streams of income. This misinformation stems from incorrectly defining these different streams of income. So today, we’re reviewing the true definitions of income streams, plus some concrete examples of each.
I also address the commonly shared concern, “I don’t have enough money to start investing. How do I get started?” The truth is, you probably do have enough money, you just might be overspending. You’ll learn how to figure out if you actually are.
This is one of my favorite chapters in the book. If you love it too, please share this episode and leave a review!
IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:
- How to properly define a stream of income.
- The differences between earned income, passive income and portfolio income.
- How to turn earned income into passive income.
- How to figure out if you're overspending.
- Leveraging exchange-traded funds to expand your income.
- The importance of mastering fewer investment strategies, versus many.

Investing in real estate is one of the main ways that Americans become wealthy, but there are three main questions that you should ask yourself before you sign on the dotted line. I break down what those three things are, the pros and cons of both short-term and long-term rentals, and some guidelines that can help you determine if an investment is likely to be profitable. I get into my own experience with renting out properties on Airbnb and explain why I don’t consider them to be a source of passive income. Plus, I share two simple rules that are designed to help investors avoid the mistake of underestimating expenses and overestimating profits.
IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:
- Figuring out what type of investor you are
- How to do a solid cost analysis to make sure you’re making the right purchase

Something that I see so many entrepreneurs missing the mark on is how they view the trajectory of their business, more specifically, how to reverse engineer their goals to set out on that trajectory. If there comes a time when you want to grow your revenue and scale your business, you have to start with the end in mind, planning your exit from day one. By reverse engineering your goals, you avoid the hamster wheel effect and can position yourself for a lucrative exit.
In today’s episode, I break down the main exit strategies, the pros and cons of each method, and how they affect your current business decisions. I also touch on the four things that potential buyers look for and what I personally dig into when I’m thinking about investing in a business.
IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:
- What happens when you don’t intelligently plan your exit
- The difference between mergers, acquisitions, selling to someone you know, and IPOs
- Tips for getting the full return on your EBITA
- How to create realistic and competitive profit margin goals
- Why it’s critical that your financial documents are pristine and transparent

A common misunderstanding with business owners is that they don’t truly understand the difference between a business that is growing and a business that is scaling. They see signs of growth and get super excited that they’re business is gaining traction, but with that, they’re expenses are also increasing at the same rate as the growth. So in turn, they’re not actually scaling. And that’s because they’re not actively and constantly measuring the KPIs that determine how to scale a business. Today, I’m diving into what these KPIs are, plus some additional ways to stop creating a job for yourself, and instead create a well-oiled machine that can generate revenue on its own.
IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:
- A concrete example showing the difference between growth and scale
- The most important KPIs you need to measure to start scaling
- The most common, and detrimental, “diseases” that I see many business owners adopt
- When and how to scale

I’m joined by Tom Hatten, founder of Mountainside Fitness, the number one health club in Arizona and number 14 in the entire country. The gym membership is the OG recurring payment program, so I ask Tom to share his wisdom on customer acquisition and retention. As a lifelong athlete, Tom unpacks how his competitive mentality has both helped and hindered Mountainside’s growth, and how he’s learned to move out of the way and trust his team.
When Governor Ducey forced gyms to shut down during the pandmeic, Tom sued him and the state of Arizona, and made national news for fighting back. He refused to step aside and just accept that gyms were ‘super-spreaders’ during the pandemic, despite adhering to the CDC guidelines and doing everything he could to be part of the solution. His resilience and dedication to his community gained him thousands of customers, including me! We round out this session with questions from the audience about team building, consistent branding, and scalability.
IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:
- Tom’s strategies for standing out and setting trends in the fitness industry
- How customer acquisition has changed since Mountainside opened its first location in the 90s
- The importance of staying authentic to yourself and proudly showing your customers what you stand for
- Getting comfortable in the unknown
- Efficiently working with the customers that you already have
- Why you need to get really clear about your KPIs and create a plan for scaling
