Podcast Episode 276

When we talk about wealth, most people immediately think of money. But what if true wealth has less to do with your bank account and more to do with your mindset, freedom, and community?

In this episode of Fox Talks Business, I sit down with Karen, luxury event designer and creative strategist, who shares how she redefined wealth on her own terms, built thriving businesses, and leaned into collaboration to scale without burning out.

Key Themes We Cover:

  • Wealth Isn’t Just Money: Karen shares personal stories that reframe wealth as freedom, experiences, and security - not just dollars.

  • From Scarcity to Prosperity: How breaking free from a poverty mindset creates new opportunities for profit and joy.

  • Collaboration Over Competition: Why community, networking, and referrals can grow your business faster than going it alone.

  • Staying Creative While Scaling: The routines, boundaries, and rituals that keep you inspired as your business grows.

  • Confidence & Boundaries: How to stop underpricing, start asking for help, and avoid burnout while scaling.

Why It Matters:
For many entrepreneurs, financial stress and loneliness creep in as they grow. This episode is packed with practical strategies and mindset shifts to help you redefine success and build a business that feels good, not just one that looks good on paper.
