Simple strategies to build long-term wealth, save on taxes, and recession-proof your small business Did you know that 73% of Americans say that their finances are the number one stressor in their life?

It's true, sweet friend. Money (and lack thereof) is top of mind for the large majority of people -- more than family, or even work. I don't know about you, but I think that statistic is quite concerning!

And I'll be honest, if you're worried about your finances -- and you want to make a change -- it's really hard to know where to even begin.

It seems like there's so many 'financial gurus' out there touting a "think and grow rich" mentality that, quite honestly, is just a bunch of fluff.

That's what I love about my guest on today's episode, business and finance expert Candy Valentino. She'll be the first to admit that building long term wealth takes much more than positive thinking – it takes good old fashioned hard work.

She's able to break down wealth creation with practical, actionable strategies that anyone can use. And the proof's in the pudding, because it's these exact strategies that she used to escape poverty, create a multi-million dollar empire, and become financially free by the age of 40.
