Show Notes:
How do you measure success? First, let’s acknowledge something important: there is a massive difference between being rich and being successful. “Successful” is a very subjective and polarizing term. To some people, being healthy and happy and having a loving family is the definition of success. But someone else might disagree. That may not be enough – or even a part of – success to them. The word means something different to everyone, but regardless of how you define it, success is one thing we all want. To know the difference between wealthy and successful, it’s important to understand the four riches.

100: This Powerhouse Paid Off $50K and Donated $120K in Just Two Years with Adrienne Dorison
The Chris Harder Show
02/19/18 • 46 min
I think a lot of you are going to relate today with my guest and entrepreneur, Adrienne Dorison. Like many, she found herself in a corporate job that was “OK" and paid the bills, but she ended up starting a business/side hustle because she needed to create space in her life for something that she loved. Initially her goal wasn’t to replace her corporate income, but when the corporation had a problem with her side hustle, she was nudged into it.
At the time, Adrienne was trying to pay off $50K in student loan debt, however without a full-time job, she worried that it would take her forever to pay if off. So, rather than allow her boyfriend (now husband) to pay off her debt for her, she made an aggressive plan to pay it off herself – and give back at the same time.
Adrienne wanted to balance out the negative feelings of shame that came with debt or bad credit and instead made it a feel-good experience. Today, giving is built into her business’s structure – both monetarily and by sharing her experiences. Tune in to hear more about Adrienne’s driven and giving spirit.

Question Highlights:
- Who is Adrienne Dorison?
- What was your transition like from corporate America to entrepreneurship?
- Why did your corporate job have a problem with your blog?
- Why do we stay in bad jobs for so long?
- What was one of your big “crash and burns?”
- What is it like to be the bread-winner of your family?
- What’s your advice to couples who wake up in this position? How do you make it work?
- How did you work giving into your business’s DNA?
- Where does your generosity come from?
In This Episode We Talk about:
- Adrienne’s transition from corporate America to entrepreneurship
- How shame around debt/bad credit led her to donate
- How she paid of $50K in debt in 6 months (while still giving)
- How Adrienne made paying off her debt a feel-food experience
- Spousal communication and balancing feminine and masculine dynamics
- How Adrienne likes to take action from the place of how she wants to feel
- Why it’s so important to share what your business gives
- And so much more...
Adrienne’s Thoughts...
“I needed to create space in my life for something that I loved.”

I've always said I was proud to be a third-generation Realtor. Although, looking back, I finally realize I am not a third-generation Realtor, but a third-generation Real Estate Entrepreneur. My grandmother, Essie Spencer, held her real estate license for 50 years. She practiced until the age of 80. My late father, Dan, practiced in real estate for over 40 years working together as a team with my mother, Debbie (who still practices). This is where my real estate venture began.
After short stint in the automotive industry, I gave real estate a shot. For the first two years of my career, I sat at my dad’s desk listening to his calls, and sitting in on meetings, and learning how to conduct business. I don’t remember thinking I wanted this type of mentorship at the time, but now I know how valuable it was. I learned customer service and how to conduct business. After my internship, I worked for my parents nearly 10 years. My wife, Wende, and I decided it was time for us to take what we had learned and forge ahead out from under the umbrella of my parents.
The real estate market crash of 2006 left us financially and emotionally devastated. In 2008, Wende and I founded Valentine Group. Through trial and error, and failing forward multiple times, we learned to become real estate entrepreneurs with a new way of doing business for a new generation of homeowners also recovering from the fallout from 2006. Since 2008, our group has served over 2500 families and continue to serve more than 200 families each year. We provide solid real estate solutions, designed for each individual client, each and every day.
One of the greatest things Wende and I have to offer, though Valentine Group’s diversification, is experience. When my father passed, one thing he said resonates in my head, “...there are very few people who will see the multiple markets we’ve seen in during your short 17 years in the business. We’ve witnessed the rapid rise in the real estate market in 2003 and 2004, and the astronomical prices and lotteries to purchase homes in 200...
123: Does Money Bring You Happiness
The Chris Harder Show
05/10/18 • 11 min
Today I’m talking about the question I probably get asked the most in regard to my podcast, and that’s, “does money bring you happiness?” This can be a complicated question, but I’ll try to break down the complicated (not-so-complicated) answer.
Money does indeed impact your happiness, but only to a certain degree. I’m a firm believer that money magnifies who you already are. If you’re a giving person, you’ll give more when you have more money. If you typically give less, you’re not likely to give any more when you do have more money. You with me?
“An unhappy person with bad habits simply becomes a wealthier person with bad habits. ”
The money doesn’t change the person – it just changes their income. But here’s what money can do...
“Having wealth increases the number of opportunities that you will find happiness. ”
On a scale of 1-10, there’s never going to be a 12 – more money doesn’t change that. But there can be multiple occurrences of a 10. Money ensures that you’ll have opportunities to have “10” experiences. Here’s what I mean... If you’re traveling and you stay at a Ritz or Four Seasons, you’re checked in right away, people know who you are, there’s more amenities, the hotel smells nice, etc. – it’s a “10” experience. Whereas if you stay at a Hampton Inn or Motel 6, you’ll likely have a nice stay, but the service isn’t the same – it’s typically just good. This applies to your car or family vacation, too. Money doesn’t guarantee happiness, but it does provide more chances to feel happy or achieve or maintain that “10” feeling.
So I ask you this, do you want a significantly higher number of peak moments (10s) and significantly lower amount of 1s and 2s? Then go out there and start chasing more wealth!
In This Episode We Talk about:
- Why money magnifies who you already are
- How money impacts your happiness
- Why having money doesn’t guarantee happiness

79: How To Create an Abundant Holiday
The Chris Harder Show
12/07/17 • 7 min
With the holidays and the season of giving upon us, I felt it was only fitting to talk about abundance and how abundance can affect us throughout them. For a good portion of people, the holidays can be super stressful – especially when there’s worry around paying for the gifts they want to buy. But here’s the thing, when we worry we send the message of lack out into the universe and we’re looking for abundance.
Just as a refresher, when you have a mindset of abundance you are attracting more and more wealth and good things in your life. And on the opposite side, when you have a lack mindset, you’re pushing away all of those abundant things. So when there is stress around how you will pay for gifts, travel, family gatherings etc., you are actually inviting more struggle into your life. And we don’t want that! So this year I challenge you to reframe all of this.
“Break free from the feeling of lack and get back into the good feelings that the holidays are meant for. ”
Now I get it, if you’re comfortable with the traditional gift-giving – keep doing it! But if you observe your feelings and thoughts around this time of year and you come up with feelings of lack, then speak up! Maybe it’s time to switch your definition of giving.
For example, my family decided a few years back to forego traditional gifts (we had a tendency to go overboard) and instead rent a cabin, give our time and enjoy the experience of it.
“It ’s more about the experience than the gifts. ”
Just think...what could you give that would create the same feelings of receiving a gift that isn’t something you can buy? Think non-traditional gift ideas could such as the gift of your time, energy, skillset or creativity – the list is endless. Regardless of what you choose, let’s:
“Practice abundance, not stress, for the holidays. ”
In This Episode You Will Learn:
- What the differences are between an abundance and lack mindset
- How Chris switched up his family’s holiday traditions
- Alternative ways you can give to your family and friends
