107. How To Be Debt Free In 2023 with Marcus Garrett

04/12/23 • 34 min

Marcus Garrett joins me for a candid conversation about paying off debt, being paid what you are worth, and the truth about working a 9-5 while still having entrepreneurial desires.

After surviving the mean streets of the inner suburbs in the great state of Texas, Marcus obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration and work experience as a Certified Internal Auditor and Financial and Data Analyst. As a Senior Millennial, his inflated self-esteem was amplified by participation trophies given to him without merit during his most impressionable years. Somehow he overcame these personal roadblocks to become an award-winning freelance writer on topics ranging from love and relationships to debt and personal finances.

In this episode, you'll learn:

How Marcus accumulated $30,000 in debt and what strategies he used to become debt free
Four steps to get out of debt
Ways to accelerate your debt pay-off plan
The power of affiliate marketing and an audience
How to monetize your skills
