They think making money is the goal, but no one ever shows them how to keep it.That’s where today’s guest comes in.Justin Maxwell isn’t your typical tax guy. He doesn’t just look at numbers—he looks at your entire financial structure and re-engineers it so you don’t just survive the IRS… you thrive.This episode is a must-listen if you're a six or seven-figure entrepreneur still operating like a W-2 employee and wondering why your wealth isn’t compounding the way it should. Justin breaks down why most entrepreneurs are set up to lose and how to flip the script by building a real wealth team, turning your income into assets, and protecting yourself from future financial landmines.We talk about taxes, cashflow vs. asset businesses, financial trauma, and how orthodox beliefs about money may be silently draining your future.“Entrepreneurs hate being seen as W-2 people. But then they go to professionals who treat them like W-2s, and they get W-2 results.” ~ Justin MaxwellConnect with Justin Maxwell:- Website – https://biglifefinancial.com/ - Phone – (801) 882-1377- LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/justinmaxwellwealthpreserve/ Connect with Preston Brown:- 🌐Website - https://theprestonbrown.com/ - 👤Facebook - https://facebook.com/theprestonbrown - 📷 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/theprestonbrown/ - ▶️YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrestonBrownBusinessCoach

The Energy Behind Your Business: How Shifting Your Inner State Shifts Everything
Get FREE actionable strategies and insights to scale your business in today’s economy—straight to your inbox each week. - Join Newsletter!👉 https://yourfirstmillionmadeeasy.com/businessbreakthrough Most of us are hustling so hard, we forget to ask one crucial question:What kind of energy are we actually building our business with?In this episode, I’m sharing something I’ve rarely shared publicly. Not tactics. Not tools. Not formulas. Energy.The day my business truly took off wasn’t the day I cracked a new strategy. It was the day I changed the energy I was bringing into the room. Because I built my first businesses on fear—fear of being broke, fear of being cheated, fear of not being enough. And guess what? That fear showed up in my business, in my team, in the lawsuits, in the chaos.But something happens when you start leading with love, joy, and purpose instead of pain. When you stop proving and start being. When you stop clinging to hierarchy and start connecting with your heart.I’m talking about a complete identity-level shift, from a high-achieving entrepreneur to a heart-centered creator.This episode is for the ones ready to stop managing by crisis and start creating from a deeper, truer place.“Whatever energy got you here, thank it. Honor it. But move through it.” ~ Preston BrownConnect with Preston Brown:- 🌐Website - https://theprestonbrown.com/- 👤Facebook - https://facebook.com/theprestonbrown- 📷 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/theprestonbrown/- ▶️YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrestonBrownBusinessCoach

The markets are moving, the Fed is fumbling, and we’re about to enter one of the most strategic windows for building wealth we’ve had in years.Not only am I stacking real estate like crazy right now, but I’m also watching how the bond flight, housing pressure, and global power shifts are creating ripple effects you can capitalize on if you stop waiting for perfect conditions.Here’s the truth: you're not gonna win this next round of wealth building by sitting on the sidelines hoping Powell figures it out. And you're definitely not gonna win by waiting for the next headline to tell you what to do.So I’m breaking it down—why housing’s getting hammered (but why that’s good news), how Trump vs. Powell might just become your favorite economic catalyst, what’s really going on with China, Ukraine, India, and the markets, and the plays I’m personally making right now with my own money."What's the best time to buy? Between now and the next six to nine months, and after that, you're probably gonna lose your opportunity to get the best bottom dollar deal." ~ Preston BrownConnect with Preston Brown:- 🌐Website - https://theprestonbrown.com/- 👤Facebook - https://facebook.com/theprestonbrown- 📷 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/theprestonbrown/- ▶️YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrestonBrownBusinessCoach

Get FREE actionable strategies and insights to scale your business in today’s economy—straight to your inbox each week. - Join Newsletter! https://yourfirstmillionmadeeasy.com/businessbreakthroughNot gonna lie—there’s a lot of noise right now about whether the sky is falling or we’re headed into the greatest bull run ever.Here’s what I really think…In this episode, I break down the key threats I see in 2025. Labor data you’ve probably never heard explained like this, the debt traps most entrepreneurs are walking straight into, and why I think we’re not facing a full-on recession, but something even trickier. A stall.Because if you’re running your business on yesterday’s game plan, or you’re hoping the Fed or the next President is gonna magically turn everything around, you’re setting yourself up to lose.This is what you need to know about interest rates, credit bubbles, broken labor data, commercial real estate risk, stock market overconfidence, and how to position your money where it actually has a shot at growing in an inflation-driven economy.I’m not just talking theory here. These are the plays I’m personally making to hedge for chaos and lean into opportunity at the same time."Getting prepared for a potential economic downturn in 2025 is something every entrepreneur should be doing. You wanna ensure you're not caught in the chaos if something comes up." ~ Preston BrownConnect with Preston Brown:- 🌐Website - https://theprestonbrown.com/- 👤Facebook - https://facebook.com/theprestonbrown- 📷 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/theprestonbrown/- ▶️YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePrestonBrownBusinessCoach
