Most people think making more money will solve their problems, but it does not. In this episode, Sean breaks down the three money skills that actually determine whether you build real wealth or stay stuck: the ability to get money, keep money, and multiply money. Most business owners only master one and wonder why nothing changes. You will learn why chasing investments too early keeps people broke, how poor money habits quietly drain growing businesses, and why keeping cash is the real foundation of long-term wealth. Sean shares a real example of a business that scaled revenue fast but struggled to hold onto money, and how fixing spending habits created massive change in a short time. By the end, you will understand how to increase income, control spending, and put your money to work with intention instead of guessing.
