402. Achieving Financial Freedom: Aligning Money with Your Life Vision

DREAM. THINK. DO.

GUEST: CPA, Entrepreneur & Bestselling Author - Mel Abraham

Mel Abraham is BACK! Since this is his THIRD time on DTD… you probably remember that Mel is a CPA by education… but an entrepreneur by exhilaration.

Mel is a guy I trust… especially when it comes to talking about finances and money! So… when I saw he had a brand new book coming out… I said, “Brother… we’ve got to have you back on the show to talk about this!”

The book is called, “Building Your Money Machine: How to Get Your Money to Work Harder for You Than You Did for It!”

What I love about this concept is… Mel is not just teaching you how to save money or just get out of debt. Those are good things and they’re in the book… but he’s talking about practical ways that you can make money work FOR you!

And… he’s unbiased from the standpoint… he’s not selling a specific financial product. His only bias is that he feels that "financial freedom is your birthright.”

So THAT is his bias.

I should also mention that Mel TOTALLY married up… and he gets to travel and live life with his amazing bride Stefanie and their Sheepadoodles… Budo & Sampson!

He’s a proud dad and grandpa… he’s an accomplished martial artist… and he’s a true teacher… so I’m so glad to have him BACK on DTD… so let’s get to this!
