Today’s guest is proof that you can have it all and you don’t have to wait. Mary D’Souza has built a very successful career and focuses her efforts on living her best life. But what’s her secret?

For Mary, it has always boiled down to relationship building. In her experiences in private credit, equity, real estate, and investment banking, Mary learned what it takes to build meaningful relationships when you want to move forward with an investment. And now as the Chief Investment Officer at Misha Investments, she continues to build relationships with team members and clients.

Not only are relationships with clients important, but Mary also discusses the impact of a mentor/mentee relationship and the fostering of trust that goes into this kind of connection. She says that in order to build the best life ever, you have to surround yourself with the “best” people. To her, that means the people who share your values and people you can learn from.

Mary is full of wonderful tips that are not only great for business, but for life in general. Like not letting the things you can’t control get you down. Or choosing to be happy now instead of waiting for something to happen. 

So listen to this interview with Mary and learn about the connection between financial freedom, the value of time, and building relationships.

And of course, as an expert in finance and investments, Mary shares some very valuable information about making investments on your journey to financial freedom.

How do you go from med school to becoming a franchise consultant? My guest today is Kim Daly, a top consulting franchising expert, and international bestselling co-author. She is also the creator of the Daly Plan, a millionaire mindset coaching program, and the host of KimDaly.tv.

We discussed Kim's path from preparing for med school to becoming a successful franchise consultant, how to overcome limiting beliefs and realize your dreams, how to develop a millionaire mindset, and more.

Our conversation started with what a franchise business is, the misconceptions around it, and how it can help anyone regardless of their business experience (or lack of) take a proven business plan and become a successful business owner.

One of the things Kim highlighted is the importance of setting your own goals for your business, finding your motivation to succeed, and working on your mindset to become successful because success is always an inside job.

On her YouTube show, KimDaly.tv, she talks about all things franchising, from advice, tips, and facts to dispelling myths, helping people break through their limiting beliefs and success stories.

This was such an uplifting conversation. Listen to Kim share why it's important to have dreams and goals, and why you NEED to spend time imagining what you want in your life.

Ask yourself "What do I really want?" Because the true magic happens when we get clear and specific about what we want when we stop arguing about limitations and stop talking against ourselves.

"If you want to create the outcome, you have to stop the resistance", says Kim.

Another great piece of advice from Kim is "once you know where to focus your mind and your attention, success is simple."

For Kim success is owning her freedom, being free to live the life that she wants, feeling peaceful, and doing things that align with who she is.

A wonderful conversation with Kim and lots of business and life advice.
