#66: You know that rare moment when you meet someone with whom
you connect *instantly*?
I felt that way when I met Emma Pattee, the 26-year-old millionaire
and mini-real-estate-mogul who joins me on today's episode.
Emma and I share similar stories: we're both young female artists
and entrepreneurs who figured out that wealth is a tool for
creating the freedom that allows us to live on our own terms.
We both hustled harder than words can describe, living and
breathing our commitment to breaking free from the
trading-time-for-money cycle. We refused to accept the defaults
that were handed to us. We viewed our investments as a way to
create a more sustainable, meaningful life.
We rejected the limiting belief that a creative, meaningful life is
somehow more 'pure' when it's lived in scarcity and deprivation. We
embraced abundance. We asked "how can I create this?" We viewed
every problem as inherently solve-able. We took responsibility for
everything that crossed our paths.
Most critically, we decided that we weren't going to let any
excuses hold us back.
We accepted radical responsibility for our own lives. We wouldn't
allow ourselves to get trapped in a victim mindset, a comparison
("they-have-it-easier!") mindset, or an
external-factors-are-holding-me-back mindset.
I rarely meet people who have committed to the inner work of
internalizing these lessons. Emma is one of those rare people.
And that's why I'm excited to share our breakfast conversation with
you.
I hope you enjoy this episode. And to paraphrase Seth Godin, more
importantly, I hope this episode spurs you to take action.
Lots of love,
Paula
