Seth has over 25 years within the monetary business, is the CEO and founding father of Mission Wealth, a acutely aware wealth administration agency with workplaces throughout the Western United States, holds a Masters of Science in Monetary Planning and the Licensed Monetary Planner™ (CFP®), Licensed Property Advisor (CEA®), and Licensed Divorce Monetary Analyst (CDFA™) designations.

In 2016 he graced the TEDx stage and delivered his first Tedx discuss, which you’ll watch beneath.
Acutely aware Way of life Journal: Please outline Acutely aware Wealth and provides us a top level view of what it means and what’s concerned in it, in order that anyone strolling into this dialog can wrap their head round what we’re speaking about.
Seth Streeter: Wealth historically has been about cash—it’s been about materials accumulation, it’s been about your 401K plan, it’s been in regards to the residence you buy—it’s how a lot cash is within the checking account.
Acutely aware Wealth is after we step past that definition and have a look at our lives way more holistically and issue in several elements, akin to our well being, {our relationships}, our profession satisfaction, the quantity of influence we’re having locally and on the planet, to our mental progress, to our religious capital, to our emotional wellbeing. These broader definitions are what I’m actually calling Acutely aware Wealth. As a result of somebody may very well be value $50 million, but when they will’t climb two flights of steps with out being winded as a result of they’re so out of practice, and so they go residence a stranger to their household as a result of they’re working on a regular basis, and so they want sleeping tablets to sleep at night time as a result of they’ve a lot anxiousness, are they honestly rich simply because they’re value $50 million? So, Acutely aware Wealth seems to be on the broader image of what wealth actually must be.
CLM: Lovely. So, let’s dive into some extra of those totally different points. Are you able to outline the Ten Dimensions of Wealth and Holistic Success?
SS: The one that everybody is aware of about is the monetary dimension. Do you’ve sufficient to stay your life? Wealth resides inside your means. So, so long as you’ve sufficient to stay the life you wish to stay, nicely, then you definately’re rich.
The following part of wealth is influence. Do you are feeling such as you’re actually leveraging your abilities and presents on the planet and making a distinction? It may very well be in a small method, volunteering with one baby at a faculty, or pet-sitting. Or, it may very well be in a extremely massive method by which you wish to influence the environmental points we’re going through right now or world illiteracy. So, influence is a vital dimension of wealth as a result of we all know the extra we give, the extra we get.
Emotional wealth has to do together with your attitudes and wellbeing. Do you get up glad? Are your stress ranges low?
The social and household dimensions should do with our intimate relationships—each our household and pals, in addition to {our relationships} locally.
The quantity of enjoyable we’ve is about whether or not you might be residing your bliss? Do you’ve massive stomach laughs? Are you having sufficient enjoyable in your life? Lots of people are actually really missing in that wealth issue.
Your bodily wealth has to do with how your physique seems to be, feels, and capabilities. Is it capable of do what you need it to do with out ache or harm?
Non secular wealth is your connection to a framework past the on a regular basis, one thing that anchors and facilities you.
Mental wealth is whether or not you’re feeling stimulated. Do you are feeling such as you’re rising intellectually or do you are feeling form of stagnant?
Your profession wealth has to do with whether or not you are feeling you’re being appreciated to your abilities and contributions and do you are feeling aligned with a mission past your self together with your employer.
the ten dimensions of wealth.
CLM: Positively. So how did the Ten Dimensions of Wealth come collectively for you? How does it relate to your expertise and your background?
SS: First, professionally, I’ve been in finance for 25 years, and I’ve been an advisor to a whole lot of households, totally on the dimension of economic wealth, after which I noticed firsthand how monetary wealth actually wasn’t the only supply of happiness for these folks, or the only supply of frustration in some circumstances. So, it was from my very own skilled expertise of getting 1000’s of appointments during the last 25 years, and seeing, wow, there’s extra to this than cash after which beginning to put that into follow in my skilled life.
From a private standpoint, I’ve lived this myself. I used to be somebody who was raised inside a really goal-driven household. My brother and I had excessive expectations on us to do nicely academically, do nicely in sports activities, be concerned in scholar authorities, and we at all times had jobs. So, I executed that technique diligently, pondering that was going to get me forward. It obtained me to some extent the place I noticed that, though I used to be attaining numerous success in a conventional sense, I used to be actually not fulfilled, and I used to be eager for extra. So, from a private standpoint, I noticed that there was extra to success than these achievements, these conventional metrics of profession and finance and searching good on paper with all A’s. I knew that I used to be eager for one thing deeper and extra fulfilling. So, I believe it was form of a bridge of these two—my skilled life and my private life—that led me to the place I’m right now.
CLM: Of the Ten Dimensions, that are those that you just see folks fighting essentially the most?
SS: I’d say all of it begins with the self. Most individuals are so targeted outdoors of themselves—and I’ll say monetary, of the ten, is the one which hits on that essentially the most. As a result of most individuals are pondering that when they get that job promotion, as soon as they earn more money, as soon as their 401K steadiness goes up, as soon as they will purchase their first residence, as soon as they repay their faculty debt… nicely, then lastly they are often glad! So, it begins from a finance standpoint as a result of folks may really attain these milestones—they may get the job, get the brand new automobile, get the promotion—after which understand they’re by no means glad as a result of that benchmark at all times will get raised to a different degree. This goes for folks I do know who’re value $20 million who are usually not glad as a result of their neighbor has $30 million, after which that particular person is aware of somebody who has $50 million. And also you’re by no means there once you’re in search of these exterior benchmarks to then set off inside happiness; it doesn’t work that method.
So, I’d say as soon as somebody realizes that that’s fools’ gold, that pursuit of the exterior, it actually will get into the non-public. Actually, it’s a mix. The religious is an enormous a part of it; the bodily too—for those who don’t really feel good it’s arduous to carry out in life. Your social construction issues, particularly as a result of the folks you might be round on a regular basis shapes the particular person you might be, so for those who’re round people who find themselves solely targeted on “greed is sweet” and capitalism within the conventional sense, then you’re going to suppose that’s what you’ll want to be pursuing. So, oftentimes, re-shifting a social construction actually helps somebody discover extra of that non-public steadiness. Emotional wellbeing is essential; there are such a lot of people who find themselves so pressured and beating themselves as much as attempt to get forward—preventing site visitors, battling a whole lot of emails, doing the dance on a regular basis—pondering that when they end these emails at midnight and as soon as they get ten appointments in every week, then, lastly, I’ll be ok.
All of those different 9 dimensions in addition to finance mix collectively as a result of it comes all the way down to realizing that your sense of worthiness isn’t tied to any kind of efficiency. There’s nothing you possibly can obtain or purchase that may enable somebody to really really feel worthy. As soon as somebody will get that eye-opener, that interprets throughout the board—of their careers, relationships, well being and their emotional wellbeing, and within the influence they’ll finally have the ability to have on the planet.
CLM: How do you see peoples’ lives shift as soon as they make that connection to the deeper points of Acutely aware Wealth? That’s, as soon as they perceive that they’re being psychologically pushed by these unconscious issues, that aren’t essentially in alignment with their life function, and allow them to go, what occurs?
SS: Oh, man! It’s actually thrilling! It’s incremental and typically it’s exponential. When somebody has the AHA!–which actually comes from hitting a pause button of their life and really asking: “Am I glad or do I must redirect my energies and focus elsewhere?” As soon as they make that shift, then abruptly, I’ve seen that issues actually begin to fall in line. Folks may make main profession modifications after which their stress ranges go down. As their stress ranges go down, their well being improves. As their well being improves and their stress goes down, they’ve extra household time and steadiness, their relationships enhance. As they’ve extra time and steadiness, they start to consider methods by which they may give again, which they didn’t have time for earlier than. There’s an absolute domino impact between all these different 9 dimensions that every one appear to conspire in somebody’s favor towards justifying and validating the choice to step away from that prior path and into what’s actually in alignment with their highest targets.
CLM: I like that, and let me play satan’s advocate for a bit of bit. What would you say to individuals who have this concept that they will’t do these items, that they will’t play extra as a result of they’ve payments to pay or tasks or a household? As a result of what you’re primarily saying is, observe your bliss on a sure degree. Do the issues that basically convey you pleasure and happiness first. How do you do this and nonetheless create wealth in your life and nonetheless take care of accountability?
SS: Like with Maslow’s Hierarchy of Wants, there’s a sure baseline of economic practicality that must be adhered to. I’m not advising folks to simply go away all accountability and be whimsical—not pay your mortgage invoice and neglect your bank card invoice and cease funding your youngsters’ school and simply go be part of the circus! I assist them make it possible for their blocking and tackling of their baseline funds are in good order. That’s why monetary planning is a good portal into these conversations. As a result of as soon as somebody has a primary understanding of money movement, property and liabilities, taxes, property planning—that are form of the baseline 4—then we will begin transferring up that Maslow pyramid to start out working towards areas of self-actualization.
There’s a research that was achieved in 2010 by a few professors at Princeton that really had a pattern of 450,000 folks that they studied over two years, and it was in regards to the correlation between earnings ranges and happiness. What they discovered was that there was a optimistic correlation between these peoples’ happiness and earnings ranges as much as $75,000 a 12 months of earnings; past $75,000 a 12 months of earnings, there wasn’t that a lot of a correlation in any respect with happiness ranges. Usually, I’m coping with extra prosperous people who find themselves above that baseline threshold—they know that they’re going to have the ability to pay their hire or pay their mortgage that month—and so they’re stressing out in a zone the place it’s not about turning the lights on; it’s about them stressing over stuff they shouldn’t should be stressing about. However, sure, there must be a baseline degree of practicality we’ve with our funds; and, in doing so, it’s going to free you as much as pursue your bliss in a sustainable method versus simply over two months till your bank cards are capped and you must go face actuality once more.
CLM: As you had been speaking about this, it got here to me that this concept that it’s not religious to concentrate on cash, that cash is only a distraction from the religious path, that is one thing that comes up loads, though one of many Ten Dimensions of Wealth is religious. Are you able to discuss to how having a wholesome relationship with cash can really be in assist of your religious path and the religious dimension of affection? How can we embody cash on the religious path, as a result of it’s so crucial in our day-to-day lives?
SS: Cash has no worth in and of itself; it’s only a illustration of its worth elsewhere. A greenback is only a piece of paper of paper that’s value about 4 cents. A bank card is only a piece of plastic that’s value about one cent. Gold bullion is simply gold that we put a financial worth to. After we take into consideration worth, worth is de facto vitality. With cash, we’re placing numerous worth, numerous vitality, into one thing that basically doesn’t have energy: a bit of paper, a bit of plastic. As a substitute, the religious integration with cash is extra about how that vitality can movement by means of you into the world and make a optimistic distinction and assist others. The religious framework round cash is de facto about creating worth by being of service to others.
And, when you find yourself leveraging your presents and being of service to others in your individual distinctive method, then cash shall be a by-product of that, fairly than saying: “I must make as a lot cash as doable and what careers pays me essentially the most cash?” I’ve recommended numerous younger folks over time and finally with this kind of pondering they may burn out as a result of they’re not being fueled from an genuine place. So, actually, the religious connection to cash is about authenticity, it’s about service to others, it’s about recognizing that your job is to be in full expression of your presents into the world; and, for those who do this, cash shall be a by-product.
CLM: In that very same vein of pondering, is worthiness, which you talked about earlier, a by product as nicely?
SS: To begin with, for me, spirituality is an inside job; and I’ve discovered that worthiness is an inside job as nicely. Spirituality, for me, doesn’t come from doing a bunch of issues on the market; and worthiness, I’ve discovered the arduous method, doesn’t come from retaining a bunch of issues on the market. All three—spirituality, worthiness and wealth—all three are inside jobs, so in that method, they’re fully related.
CLM: So how does this tie in to life function? Lots of people make their cash simply being pushed by wealth. However, after a sure level, after you make sufficient cash, then what?
SS: It’s fascinating; I’ve labored with numerous executives over time, and I’ve taken them by means of a course of I name the Impressed Life Objective Evaluation (see graphic beneath). One of the best half is that when we’ve them have a look at the intersection of the 4 classes from the train—the place their presents intersect with their abilities and schooling, what their biggest ardour is and what they consider the world wants most—that intersection is their impressed life function. What’s actually cool is that, as an alternative of simply interested by return on cash, its necessary for folks to mirror on their return on function. What kind of return are you getting on the aim that’s inside you that you just actually can’t deny? The one which has at all times been knocking on the door inside your soul. Return on function is a vital dimension of wealth after we have a look at our Acutely aware Wealth evaluation.

CLM: Return on function as an alternative of return on funding. So, the extra you align together with your function, the extra return you get?
SS: Completely. That’s been a fact I’ve seen over and over. Again to these examples the place persons are taking the job out of faculty that they suppose pays them essentially the most fairly than saying or pondering, “My largest precedence is to be in pursuit of my internal function. And I’m going to be within the fullest expression of my presents, talents, abilities, and fervour to attempt to push this function ahead.” If these are the 2 issues that they concentrate on, I can inform you they may obtain great success and great wealth within the ways in which matter most to them.
CLM: That framework that you just simply outlined sounds prefer it’s an ideal method for folks, in the event that they’re unsure what their function is, to determine the place all these items overlap and to crystallize that for them.
SS: I’d simply encourage folks to comprehend which you could be in expression of your function and be rich. I believe lots of people have this mindset that there’s two camps on the subject of cash: There’s the capitalist who thinks greed is sweet, who’s simply targeted on cash and has no life steadiness and perhaps restricted religious connection; and there’s the yogi who’s meditating on a mat and has their abundance board and their imaginative and prescient wall, and so they’re praying to have the ability to pay their hire that month, however they don’t have numerous monetary abundance. It’s necessary to comprehend which you could have each; one isn’t in battle with the opposite. The folks that I’ve labored with who’ve change into the wealthiest are those who have realized that there’s an absolute integration of these two. You could be in full expression of your self, related to supply, amplifying your presents, being of service, coming from a spot of pleasure whereas additionally kicking butt at a enterprise, being paid a good trade for the products or companies that they’re offering to the world. Once more, that’s what cash is: cash is only a reflection of vitality, it’s a mirrored image of worth. Once you’re coming from an genuine place, placing out your finest into the world with a function you care deeply about, there’s going to be worth, there shall be cash.
CLM: I like this concept, particularly with the brand new paradigm rising from the way in which that society is restructuring itself with the Web. It’s permitting folks to earn cash in ways in which you’ve by no means been capable of do earlier than. You’ll be able to have a knitting retailer promoting little personalised mittens for kids and be a millionaire! You must begin to rethink your life for those who’ve been working from the outdated paradigm the place you simply have to indicate up and get your paycheck. You actually should rethink what your life function is as a result of that’s going to be the important thing to your happiness and abundance and all these issues that you just’re speaking about.
SS: The whole lot is offered. Folks really feel threatened by the modifications which can be taking place now, the place increasingly jobs are going to be automated—whether or not it’s driverless vehicles or robotics or it’s synthetic intelligence coming into our machines—the Web of The whole lot; but, I see it the alternative. I see it as such an incredible alternative so that you can lastly say what’s uniquely you and ask how will you convey that into and a spot that you just actually care about. And also you guys are an ideal instance of that by the way in which!
That’s why the perfect corporations on the market which can be attracting Millennials are those who have a function and a mission to their firm and folks will work for these kinds of corporations—with even a decrease earnings degree—as a result of they’re so behind what that firm is about. And Millennials wish to work for a corporation that they consider is doing one thing good for the world. It’s not nearly a paycheck, and that’s been a shift.

Our mother and father’ era would go the place the roles had been. They’d transfer the household, and they’d make their life in Toledo, Ohio, if that’s the place the job was. Millennials say: “The place do I wish to stay? How do I wish to stay? And, by the way in which, I’ll discover a solution to make my profession mix into that way of life!”
CLM: You’ve intuitively pulled up the idea of Monetary Evolution; it was form of bouncing round within the background. What’s Monetary Evolution and the way does that play into all the things?
SS: As we’re speaking about Acutely aware Wealth, I believe there are extra tendencies which can be supporting it in addition to what we spoke about earlier than. These tendencies embody careers the place folks wish to work for mission-led corporations and be a part of a tradition that feels actually aligned with them, and so they‘ll make much less cash to work for a corporation like that.
After we check out investing, it was once that individuals invested only for a return, and so they needed to maximise return. And, now, there’s over $20 trillion in socially accountable investments. Folks now are saying, “I wish to make investments based on my values. I don’t wish to personal tobacco corporations if I’ve misplaced my mother to lung most cancers. I don’t wish to personal an organization that does animal testing.” No matter somebody’s values are, they will now make investments based on these values. Firms are taking observe, and now corporations are actually cleansing up their practices as a result of they understand not solely their buyers however then additionally the shoppers actually care extra in regards to the merchandise they’re shopping for. They have a look at labels and so they marvel is that this an natural product or is that this made chemical-free? Firms are waking as much as a higher degree of consciousness due to funding influences and shopper influences.
After we have a look at definitions of success, it was once that materials success was the best—the Porsche and the Ferrari and the boat and the mansion—that was how somebody was profitable. And, now, as we talked about (and Millennials know) it’s about way of life—it’s about steadiness, it’s about time for well being, it’s about function, it’s about giving again. Even in my profession, within the monetary companies world, it was once that recommendation was solely primarily based on funding choices, money movement planning, taxes, property planning, insurance coverage. Now advisors are beginning to measure these holistic metrics. They’re beginning to speak about happiness and profession alignment and return on function to really measure what issues most to folks. There’s numerous great tendencies which can be additionally form of shifting this higher consciousness round cash and I name that the Monetary Evolution.
CLM: So, right here’s one other form of satan’s advocate query: Having been on either side of the coin, the place, at first, financing enterprise was simply this super-complex, obtuse factor; it appeared arduous and costly to play with and dangerous. However since I’ve erased that, I’ve actually discovered that it’s not that arduous, it’s not that difficult; just a few common concepts and rules that, when you perceive these, issues begin to make sense. Taken out to a sensible degree—this may appear to be a primary query for somebody who’s operating a wealth administration firm—how can somebody get began? Not all people who’s studying the journal goes to have hundreds of thousands of {dollars}. How can somebody with $30,000 or $74,000 who desires to speculate their cash impactfully, how can they get began?
SS: It’s fascinating that after I consider the 35-year-old who makes $70,000 a 12 months, the extent of consideration that I’ll hear that they put into their food plan, their exercise regime, their journey, trip planning, their social occasions that weekend, perhaps even their wardrobe—they put numerous thought into these areas. However on the subject of actually constructing their private wealth within the conventional monetary sense, they put little or no thought. Perhaps they only spend money on a 401K, and so they simply attempt to repay bank cards and scholar loans and that’s all they actually consider. We’re speaking three minutes every week is all they spend interested by this.
Step one is to have a devoted follow to your wealth—the identical method you’ve a devoted follow to meditation or to your yoga follow. You must have a devoted follow by which you first sit and visualize what you need out of your life—so far as way of life, so far as the kinds of investments you wish to make, so far as the kind of residence you wish to stay in—you understand, actually visualize your life. Step two is making an trustworthy evaluation of the place you might be at right now. Ask your self: “Now that I do know the place I wish to go, the place am I right now? How is my profession monitoring? Am I maximizing my profession alternatives in my present function with my present firm? How am I doing with my money owed, with my financial savings, with my investments?” When you then have that trustworthy evaluation, then the third step is to now develop a method ahead. “What are the subsequent steps that I can take?”
It comes all the way down to kaizen: incremental small steps. First is, “I’m going to decide to spending lower than I earn, so I’ve a surplus. I’m going to discover a solution to stay inside a sure finances and be conscious as a result of paying myself first must be certainly one of my most necessary payments.” Simply as necessary as it’s to pay your mortgage, you’ll want to pay your self first. When you’ve dedicated to having that surplus to pay your self first, then you definately ask: “How ought to I be investing this surplus?” Nevertheless small it’s, beginning someplace—it may very well be $50 a month—begin there. You wish to say, what’s the neatest methods I can make investments? From a sensible standpoint, tax-wise, you wish to make the most of pretax or tax-free kind of progress automobiles. Perhaps it’s your 401K together with your employer; perhaps it’s a SEP IRA for those who’re self-employed; perhaps it’s a Roth IRA; there are numerous totally different tax buildings that may profit somebody for long-term accumulation.
Now that you understand how to spend money on a sensible style, you then ask: “Now what do I do so far as my investing inside that car? Inside my Roth IRA or inside my 401K, how can I make investments that cash?” That’s the place you possibly can search skilled steering or perform some research on-line to grasp the ability of compounding curiosity, the significance of asset allocation, the significance of rebalancing. After getting that kind of piece in place, then you possibly can ask: “To what diploma do I wish to make this a socially accountable funding?” There’s mutual funds on the market; there’s exchange-traded funds on the market; there’s corporations that may do screening on shares and bonds so that you can make that funding a socially impactful funding.
It comes all the way down to easy steps; but it surely actually begins with taking time to visualise, making it a precedence, after which breaking it down into easy, motion gadgets the identical method you’d for those who had been attempting to vary your food plan or start a yoga follow.
CLM: So many individuals simply ignore funds, particularly acutely aware folks as a result of cash has obtained a lot stigma round it. With out steering, with out having gone to high school for it, it may very well be a bit of intimidating. It’s fairly easy; if issues get difficult, then you possibly can simply go together with a monetary advisor.
SS: There are additionally numerous on-line robo-advisors accessible right now. You possibly can do that all from the comforts of your own home and have the ability to have professionally managed cash less expensive than ever earlier than. There’s actually no excuse; it may be achieved—with a number of clicks of a button, you possibly can have a portfolio. The factor that I’d encourage folks to consider isn’t just their monetary property however that all of us have numerous types of property. What’s your inventive capital? Perhaps you’ve numerous inventive genius that isn’t being absolutely deployed together with your present employer. Or, perhaps you’ve good social capital: you’ve some actually unbelievable relationships and connections that you just aren’t absolutely leveraging proper now. Mental capital: what’s one thing that you’ve information of or distinctive perception into that perhaps isn’t being introduced into {the marketplace} right now? So, once you’re interested by your property, it’s not simply how a lot money and debt do I’ve right now? It’s what are your distinctive property that may be leveraged to assist construct extra worth and extra monetary wealth in your life?
CLM: To make this as sensible as doable, let’s say somebody’s of their 30s, someplace in the course of their life, and so they’re eager to be as profitable as doable however nonetheless have enjoyable, nonetheless honor their life function and have a significant life. What recommendation do you’ve for them?
SS: It might sound counterintuitive, however I’d say they need to be much more playful; they need to have much more enjoyable and have much more levity of their lifestyle. I do know that I at all times felt that to achieve success in my profession, I needed to be tremendous severe as a result of cash is a severe factor! Identical with my exercises: I needed to practice to do an Ironman, and I’d be actually severe about that. In my relationships: I wish to be a extremely good guardian. In numerous totally different dimensions I’d understand that is actually severe; I had numerous accountability in me. In some unspecified time in the future, I noticed that Buddhas are playful, and a number of the most profitable folks on the market have a form of a gleam of their eye and a sure sense of playfulness. So, to that particular person I’d say to consider methods by which you might have extra ease, extra rest, extra playfulness. Once you’re at work, smile extra; I believe you’ll discover that you just’ll really do higher. It sounds form of counterintuitive, however these individuals who have a lightness about them, it brings a sure confidence, it makes you extra approachable, it makes you extra likable; you’re going to be extra promotable you probably have extra playfulness and ease in your daily. You don’t should show something to anybody. Simply be mild. Be your self and permit your pure talents to movement into your profession. I’d say that’s a very powerful recommendation: have extra ease, extra pleasure.
CLM: Do you’ve any last ideas that you just’d prefer to share?
SS: I’d say that my ardour is being a optimistic catalyst in folks’s lives. Anybody in skilled companies has this potential to be nearly a Malicious program, to indicate up and have the opposite particular person suppose we’re speaking a couple of tax return or a portfolio, however actually we’re right here to be a change agent in somebody’s life for the optimistic. That’s actually serving to my enterprise develop exponentially throughout the nation. You’ll be able to actually have the identical factor. Determine what your deepest function is; be daring sufficient to pursue that. Perceive that vulnerability is energy; it’s not weak point. The extra weak you might be, the extra persons are going to really feel they will relate to you, and so they’re going to really feel like you might be being actually trustworthy and real with them. It’s going to serve you in your profession and in your relationships. Be capable to actually outline what wealth means to you. My expertise with a whole lot of households has been that wealth isn’t exterior; it’s actually about inside work. Wealth is about figuring out your priorities and residing them. It’s about much more than simply cash and encompasses these different 9 dimensions of wealth. It’s about being of service to others—the extra you give the extra you get—and that’s the reality. It’s about that means; ensuring you’ve that means and connection daily with others and with strangers. It’s about appreciating what you’ve and it’s about wanting lower than you’ve. So long as you need lower than you’ve, by definition, you might be already rich. Be daring sufficient to redefine what wealth means to you and simply lean into that and watch the abundance movement your method.
