I know you’re wondering what’s with this title and I can explain. You see, many people struggle financially but very few know why.

Unfortunately, this need for more money holds them back greatly in their wealth building journey.

For example, if you’re broke, you don’t have the luxury of holding out for an offer from a new employer that may pay you a much better salary because you can’t afford to miss even one paycheck. Alternatively, you may have to work two jobs which detracts…
