Making Your First Million as a Product-Based Entrepreneur

Money is hard to make …

Or, is it?

Where did this belief come from?

…and what would our lives look like if we could operate outside of that belief?

This is where the story of my guest Maureen Mwangi began. Growing up in an entrepreneurial home where daily hustle was the reality she watched her parents struggle to find continued growth and success, especially in the area of money.

Fast forward to her adult years and the desire to create her own business. Every day Maureen combated the idea and that money is hard to make and we can only do something in business if we have the cash on hand for it.

It was through working with a mentor that Maureen became aware of the beliefs she had around money and with their support slowly started making the adjustments needed to let them go.

No longer did she want to steal from herself by setting her prices too low.

No longer did she want to hustle for hours on end every week when the reality was she could work less and still make more.

This understanding and release of the old ways made Maureen who she is today. An entrepreneur creating financial freedom for herself and even more importantly to her, impacting businesses and people all over the world.
