#99 Elliot Kay – What’s Your Money Story?
In this week’s latest episode of Let’s Talk Money and More Podcast, I am joined by an extraordinary speaker, executive mentor, and visionary business strategist who transforms ordinary events into unforgettable experiences, Elliot Kay. Known for his magnetic stage presence, Elliot captivates audiences with dynamic presentations that inspire action and drive success.
His expertise lies in empowering individuals with strategic insights for influential communication, compelling pitches, and winning business strategies. His powerful narratives and practical tools enable attendees to break through barriers, embrace their potential, and conquer new heights.
Join me on a journey with business influencer Elliot Kay as we dive into his inspiring money story! From his early entrepreneurial spirit to his belief in failing forwards, Elliot shares his wisdom and experiences. He also encourages his kids to build their own visions and respect money. Discover how Elliot shifted his paradigm and elevated his relationship with money, understanding its spiritual significance.
Key Takeaways
• Respect and gratitude for money are vital. Previously, Elliot had a spendthrift mentality, but now he values mindfulness. Wasting money on small things may signify letting oneself down, so being mindful can enhance self-worth and value.
• Being an entrepreneur has both great and terrible aspects. It's important to support and guide future entrepreneurs, like his own children, while advocating for failing forwards and learning from experiences.
• A strong sense of self-worth is essential when discussing fees for speaking engagements. Confidence and owning one's expertise help set appropriate fees. Moreover, maintaining a balanced approach to self-worth prevents excessive arrogance.
