ENTREPRENEURS

For many entrepreneurs and business owners, starting and growing a business isn’t just about making money. It’s about finding freedom. It’s about experiencing the fulfillment that comes from building something meaningful—and living a rich life.

But here’s the truth: while your business can give you a rich life, it can also ruin it. Success often comes at the expense of sanity. Maybe you’re working harder than ever, paying everyone else first, and still feeling stuck in a prison of your own making.

The solution isn’t just getting more customers, scaling up, or dumping all your profits “back into the business.” Real freedom—financial, personal, and professional—starts with a plan. A financial freedom plan.

As a seasoned money and mindset coach and founder of an eight-figure financial firm, Marissa Nehlsen teaches that when the vision is clear, the decisions become easy. Marissa will show you how to:

  • Set a clear vision for your business, finances, and life—and gain the freedom you want.
  • Make money your best employee, no matter what size your business.
  • Open up connections, opportunities, and networks.
  • Fire your worst business partner—the tax collector.
  • Prepare a legacy plan and pass on a masterpiece, instead of a mess.

Say goodbye to the grind and say hello to freedom. It’s time to start living life on your own terms—and live life rich.
