Whether you’re aiming for your first six-figure milestone or scaling beyond a million, this episode is packed with wisdom to help you transform your approach to money and practice growth.

Dr. Lauryn covers four critical steps to achieving scalable success: redefining your relationship with money, becoming obsessed with delivering value, mastering the math behind your revenue goals, and building systems that ensure sustainability. Tune in to learn why financial success starts with a strong foundation and how you can avoid the pitfalls of unsustainable growth.
