Mindset Money Success

IntroductionSeason 3 premiere of Mindset, Money, Success, host Loraine Marshall sits down with Dre Baldwin, a former professional basketball player turned prolific author and business coach. Dre shares his journey of transitioning from international sports to the world of entrepreneurship, explaining how he leveraged his athletic background to publish 43 books and build a coaching empire focused on strategy, leadership, and execution. The conversation explores the critical differences between motivation and discipline, the "right vehicle" for success, and how Dre is currently integrating cutting-edge AI technology into his business operations.4 Best MomentsVHS Cold Call: Dre recounts the grit required to start his pro career in 2005, which involved cold-calling 60 basketball agents and physically mailing out VHS tapes of his highlights. Out of the 20 agents who received a tape, only one responded, eventually securing Dre his first professional contract in Lithuania.AI Voice Agents: Moving beyond simple text-based AI, Dre discusses his recent deployment of AI voice agents. These are not clones of his own voice but independent entities that can make phone calls to leads and have conversations based on specific programming to save time and schedule appointments."Light Bulb" Mindset Moment: Dre describes how his business coaching was born when non-athletes began consuming his sports-centric content. He realised that professionals in all industries crave the "athlete mindset" specifically mental toughness, personal initiative, and the ability to convert motivation into discipline."Right Vehicle" Analogy: Dre reflects on his early years playing baseball, realising that while he could have been "mediocre," he would never have gone pro because he was in the wrong vehicle. He emphasises that for both athletes and entrepreneurs, it doesn't matter how hard you press the gas if you are driving a car headed in the wrong direction.4 Key TakeawaysSuccess is a Process, Not a Destination: Dre argues that success should not be viewed as a fixed point or a set of three specific goals to achieve. Instead, it is a continuous process of identifying and pursuing the things you want as new opportunities arise.Discipline is a Behaviour: While motivation serves as the initial impetus, it must be converted into structure and systems to be effective. Dre notes that "discipline" is not an inherent trait of a person but a label for consistent, disciplined behaviour and actions.Not Just Books: Although Dre has published dozens of books, he discovered that at the business enterprise level, a book is rarely the solution. Organisations require step-by-step systems and processes that can be implemented immediately, as the information in books is often forgotten shortly after reading."Shiny Information Syndrome": In the modern era, entrepreneurs often suffer from more than just "shiny object syndrome"; they face "shiny information syndrome". Success requires the ability to ignore the constant influx of new ideas and focus on the "right vehicle" while accepting that your independent decisions might be wrong.

In this episode of Mindset Money Success, host Loraine Marshall shares powerful transformation strategies inspired by her time at Tony Robbins’ "Time to Rise" event. The discussion focuses on mastering your internal world to achieve external success, covering foundational rituals, emotional mastery, and the shift from being a business operator to a true owner.4 Best Moments• The 10-Minute Ritual: Loraine discusses Tony Robbins’ belief that "if you don't have 10 minutes for your life, you don't have a life," highlighting the necessity of a daily priming routine to shift your biochemistry.• The Science of Suffering: A deep dive into why suffering is a choice; while emotions last chemically for 90 seconds, anything beyond that is caused by ruminating on the thought.• Adapting for Trauma Survivors: A poignant reflection on why traditional gratitude can feel dangerous for those in "survival mode" and how to use "I am" affirmations and protective visualisations instead.• The "C.A.N.I." Philosophy: Exploring the concept of Constant and Never-Ending Innovation and why success comes from doing more for others than anyone else.4 Key Takeaways• Priming Your Nervous System: Start your day with a 10-minute ritual: one minute of "breath of fire," three minutes of heartfelt gratitude, three minutes of blessing/guidance, and three minutes to visualise three goals as already accomplished. This wires your Reticular Activating System (RAS) to spot new opportunities.• The 90-Second Rule: To stop stress or anger from taking root, use the Acknowledge, Observe, Breath, and Release method. By observing the stress without "believing it" and using slow breaths, you can calm the nervous system and let go of the thought.• Business Map vs. Business Plan: Traditional plans are often too rigid for modern markets. A Business Map allows for agility, helping you stay committed to your decisions while remaining flexible enough to pivot your approach when necessary.• Owner vs. Operator Mindset: To have a true business rather than just a job, you must have an exit strategy. A successful business is designed to make money even when the owner is not physically present, allowing you to work on the business rather than in it.Find out more about My Journey and connect on other platforms.https://linktr.ee/loraine_mmsSupport the Podcasthttps://buymeacoffee.com/successwithloraineInvitation To Join Skool As A Creatorhttps://successwithloraine.com/go/skool-sign-up/

Intro Welcome to Mindset Money Success with your host, Loraine Marshall. Today, we dive into the journey of reclaiming your power after the "three Ds": Divorce, Death, or Discard. For women navigating life at 40-plus, these aren't just relationship endings; they are traumatic events that require a total reconstruction of the soul. Learn how to move from a state of survival to one of transformation by becoming the master of your own mental architecture.4 Best MomentsDefining the Three Ds: Loraine identifies the specific traumas of divorce, the death of a partner, and the abrupt discard, explaining how these moments can leave us paralysed by uncertainty.The Literal Mind: A powerful realisation that the brain has no sense of humour; it takes phrases like "this is killing me" literally and may create physical illness or panic attacks to "protect" you from the perceived danger.The "I Am Enough" Breakthrough: Exploring how the most simple instruction—repeatedly telling your subconscious "I am enough"—can rebuild a sense of worthiness that has been shattered by betrayal or loss.The Shift to Abundance: Learning to stop the "contraction" of fear regarding finances by focusing on visual cues and the deliberate choice to say, "I am having that" instead of "I can't afford it".4 Key TakeawaysYour Mind Follows Instructions: Your subconscious is a tool that does exactly what it thinks you want it to do. It responds specifically to the pictures you construct in your head and the words you say to yourself.Choose Empowering Language: Switch from catastrophic language to words that generate energy. Instead of "I have to," try "I have chosen to" or "I am on a mission of discovery," which flips the switch from resistance to empowerment.Make Self-Praise Familiar: Many people are experts at self-criticism, making it their "natural state". To transform, you must make self-praise incredibly familiar and treat criticism as something entirely "unfamiliar" that you no longer accept.Focus on Destination, Not Current Lack: Your mind’s "creative search engines" shut down when focused on lack and fear. To find new opportunities, you must focus on where you are going rather than your current bank balance, using tools like vision boards to prime your mind for abundance.Are you ready to move from trauma to transformation?

IntroductionIn this episode of Mindset Money Success, host Loraine Marshall introduces a concrete, actionable 12-month blueprint designed to take you from broke to building real wealth. Tailored especially for women over 40 who are rebuilding after trauma or financial loss, the episode explores the 7-Step Recovery Plan based on the legendary investor Charlie Munger’s own experiences. Moving beyond "motivational garbage," this "battle-tested" plan focuses on execution and the psychological shift required to transform a negative net worth into a solid foundation.4 Best MomentsThe "Broke Advantage": Munger argues that starting with nothing is a unique strategic starting point. Unlike the wealthy, those at zero have the freedom to take calculated risks because they have nothing left to lose and their financial mistakes serve as "cheap tuition" rather than catastrophic losses.Munger’s Personal Resilience: The episode highlights Munger’s own "rock bottom" in 1962. At 38, he was divorced, drowning in debt, and facing the death of his son—a story that serves as ultimate proof that starting from zero can be a launchpad for success.The Harsh Reality of "Deserving": A pivotal moment occurs when addressing the desire for luxuries while broke. Marshall shares Munger’s blunt perspective: "The only thing you deserve when you’re broke is to stop being broke".The Final Hurdle of Discipline: As the year closes, the episode warns against "holiday inflation" in November. While most people squander their progress on gifts and travel, the blueprint demands unwavering discipline to protect your hard-won savings.4 Key TakeawaysConduct a Ruthless Financial Audit: January is the month of radical accountability. You must "stop the bleed" by cutting expenses to the bone, including selling liability cars with high payments and eliminating all non-essential subscriptions.Aggressive Income Stacking: You cannot invest your way out of poverty with small amounts. The goal is to stack multiple income streams—primary, evening, and weekend work—to save your first £5,000 by April, which shifts your mindset from "broke person" to "investor".Build the "Emergency Wall": Before entering the stock market, you must save an additional £10,000 (totalling £15,000). This cash acts as a buffer against fear-based decisions, providing the stability needed to find better career opportunities rather than settling for desperate ones.Prioritise Self-Investment: The highest yield asset is your own earning ability. Munger recommends partitioning £5,000 of your savings to invest in new skills, certifications, and networking that directly increase your hourly value.Connect on other platformshttps://linktr.ee/loraine_mmsSupport the Podcasthttps://buymeacoffee.com/successwithloraineInvitation To Join Skool As A Creatorhttps://successwithloraine.com/go/skool-sign-up/

In this episode, Loraine discusses the five shocking truths behind narcissistic future faking, often referred to as the soulmate illusion. Future faking is the illusion of 'someday,' where a partner paints a vivid, perfect picture of a life together, while their current actions leave you feeling hurt, ignored, and devalued. If this sounds familiar, you have likely encountered this sophisticated manipulation, which serves as a cornerstone of narcissistic abuse. This tactic involves making grand promises about the future solely to gain power and control over you in the present. We uncover the insidious truths that lie behind this behaviour.Best Moments from the Episode The narcissist’s promises are a desperate attempt to soothe their own deep psychic pain. Psychologists agree that narcissism is rooted in profound self-hatred and shame, not self-love. By manipulating you into believing their fantasy, they gain a fleeting feeling of power and relief from their own sense of weakness.Narcissists are master manipulators who use a tactic called narcissistic mirroring. They encourage deep conversations early in the relationship to get you to reveal your most heartfelt desires, hopes, and dreams for the future. They then mimic your dreams back to you, making the connection feel magnetic and uniquely perfect, leading you to believe you have met your soulmate.Future faking is a powerful tool used throughout the entire abuse cycle, not just during the initial love bombing phase. They may dangle the future you crave only to snatch it away as punishment, perhaps by stating an engagement or vacation is on hold because you "ruined the mood".The constant mismatch between loving words about the future and harmful actions in the present creates a profound psychological discomfort known as cognitive dissonance. Personal Example of Future Faking: Loraine recounts a personal experience involving future faking where, after talking about a dream to live in Spain, the partner purchased a property there. However, shortly after the purchase, the partner revealed he had made a "huge mistake," leaving the speaker feeling deflated and upset.Key TakeawaysFuture Faking is a Tool of Control: It is a sophisticated manipulation used to gain power and control over you in the present, fueled by the abuser's own self-hatred and need for fleeting relief.You Are Trapped by Your Own Hopes: The narcissist uses narcissistic mirroring to sell you a future built exactly upon your own most heartfelt dreams, making the connection feel uniquely perfect. Designed to keep you emotionally invested and trapped.The Dissonance is Deliberate: The painful paradox of hearing someone plan your future home while they devalue you right now is a tactic designed to keep you disoriented through cognitive dissonance. You are kept busy trying to reconcile their conflicting behaviours rather than seeing the abuse for what it is.To break free, you must stop focusing on empty promises and start looking at the hard evidence of present-day actions. Your nervous system often registers the danger before your mind can name it, so listen to your body—if you feel tense, unsure, or small in their presence, trust that physical response as honest data.Link to the free trial for the School content platform.Loraine also offers Zoom, coaching, and mentoring calls, drawing on 11 years of lived experience in a manipulative relationship.

In this week's episode, Loraine Marshall aims to challenge and completely dismantle conventional financial advice that often leaves people feeling stuck. Our guide on this journey is Rob Moore, a self-made millionaire, property investor, and host of the Disruptors podcast, known for building his fortune on contrarian thinking. Loraine extracts some of Rob Moore's valuable insights, offering a blueprint for building wealth by exploring the money lies that keep you poor, and revealing the hidden rules of the financial game. 4 Key Takeaways1. Lie number one suggests that saving your money in the bank is responsible, but Rob Moore argues this is a dangerous myth. Due to inflation—which he calls the biggest legal money scam—leaving your money in the bank is not saving it; it is eroding and degrading its value, resulting in a guaranteed loss of purchasing power over time.2. Inflation is a quiet theft of your money and a systematic feature of the modern financial system. The only effective defence is to own assets that rise in value as currency devalues, such as property, stocks, businesses, and precious metals (like gold and silver coins), which store value better than cash.3. The wealthy understand a critical distinction: bad debt (borrowing for depreciating consumer items like a new car or designer clothes) keeps people on a treadmill, while good debt can make you richer. Good debt involves strategically borrowing money, like using a mortgage on a rental property, to acquire an asset where the financial return is higher than the debt's cost.4. The supposedly secure job is one of the riskiest financial strategies because your entire income stream depends on one employer, meaning you are not in control. Since even saving money is a risk due to inflation, true financial security comes from taking calculated, educated investment risks to build assets that you control. 4 Best Moments1. Ex-financial advisor Chris Roll provided a brilliant analogy, explaining that the Monopoly game rules state that if the bank runs out of money, it can simply write some more on a piece of paper and use that. This perfectly illustrates how the modern financial system and central banks create currency out of thin air.2. In a rant about modern consumer culture, Rob Moore highlighted the absurdity of spending £55 on a trendy water bottle when the same money could purchase a one-ounce silver coin, which is a real, tangible asset that stores value. This powerfully symbolises society's broken financial priorities.3. This insight captures the power shift when dealing with high-level finance and leverage: "If you borrow a million pounds from the bank, you have a problem. If you borrow 100 million from the bank, they have the problem".4. Blueprint for Your First £10,000. Rob Moore provides a simple, diversified plan for asset growth: 40% into the stock market (e.g., Vanguard Life Strategy Fund), 30% in physical gold, 20% in physical silver, and 10% in calculated high-risk crypto (e.g., 80% Bitcoin, 20% Ethereum). This strategy hedges against economic uncertainty while investing in long-term growth.Connect on other platformsSupport the PodcastInvitation To Join Skool As A Creator

Welcome to another episode of Mindset Money Success! Host Loraine Marshall introduces guest Carolyn Ann Wood, a mindset mentor and hypnotherapist. Carolyn specialises in an "amazing modality called heart healing," which literally heals the heart. She shares her journey of becoming a certified heart healer and quitting her day job to pursue her successful business, currently travelling and living out of two suitcases. Her personal purpose is focused on freedom, love, and connection.Loraine and Carolyn discuss the profound power of the mind and how unconscious beliefs, often formed in early childhood, can silently drive reality. Lorraine recalls her own experience growing a property management business based on a simple written goal: "double the income in the first three months, double the income in the next three months". The conversation also touches upon Lorraine's challenging experience navigating years of overlapping litigations, from an ex-partner, and the importance of managing anger and rebuilding self-worth while tackling external pressures.Carolyn emphasizes that true transformation is not a "one and done" event but requires a holistic approach involving mind, body, heart, and soul work, along with dedicated nervous system regulation.Best MomentsOn the Nature of Heart Healing: "The crazy thing is, the beliefs aren't about the experiences themselves. They are about the other people who were involved in the experiences". Heart healing targets the root belief formed in childhood, often related to the primary caregiver, to address the feeling of "not enoughness".Affirmations vs. Deep Beliefs: If you are repeating affirmations like "I'm a millionaire" but not seeing results, it is likely because an underlying, unconscious belief is running silently in the background, saying, "no, you’re not a millionaire". To fast-track success, you must get to the root of these negative beliefs.Self-Love as the Key: Unconditional self-love and self-acceptance are the key to joy, happiness, success, and wealth. When you love yourself, you have the confidence to make decisions that suit you, and if things don't go as planned, it doesn't "knock you back"Key TakeawaysMindset Requires Clearing Blocks: While repetition of education and motivational content (like Jim Rohn's tapes) is helpful, true, rapid transformation requires clearing the deep, unconscious beliefs that prevent affirmations from becoming reality.Holistic Work for Lifestyle Change: Mindset work is a lifestyle choice; it is not achieved through a single session. It involves working with your mind, body, and heart (and soul) simultaneously, much like losing weight requires diet, exercise, and mental pre-planning.Nervous System Regulation is Core: Nervous system regulation is "absolutely core for everyone". Carolyn recommends breathwork and EFT tapping to intentionally regulate the nervous system, especially since dysregulation sends internal signals of instability and unsafety.Achieving success by shifting your mindset is like being a skilled gardener: affirmations are the seeds you plant every day, but unless you consistently clear the deep, unconscious weeds (the negative beliefs and unregulated nervous system), those seeds struggle to fully blossom.https://carolynannewood.com/shopwithmeSupport the PodcastInvitation To Join Skool As A Creator

In this episode of Mindset, Money, Success podcast, host Loraine speaks with virtual business manager (VBM), Nadia, based in Melbourne. Nadia, who started her business seven years ago, just three months after her baby was born, shares her journey from feeling "terrified" to achieving sustainable growth. She explains how she provides administrative, marketing, and operational support to growth-ready women in business, helping them transition from the kitchen table to success. Nadia sought to create a venture that allowed her the freedom and flexibility to progress her career while remaining a present mother.Best MomentsOvercoming the Fear: Nadia reveals that she was "literally terrified" when she first launched her business. She started, creating her website on a laptop while sitting on her couch, unsure if she would secure her first client. Attending her first networking event was scary, as she had to tell the world about the business she had created.Wearing All the Hats to CEO: Nadia emphasises the struggle entrepreneurs face juggling life, family, and business while wearing multiple hats (marketing manager, bookkeeper, customer service officer). Her service is designed to handle "all the chaos behind the scenes", enabling clients—service providers, creatives, and coaches—to move from wearing all the hats to focusing solely on the CEO role.Global Confidence: After beginning her business journey, Nadia gained confidence as she started working with clients internationally, including those in the U.S. and Germany. This exposure and continuous learning helped her develop her business over seven years, supporting clients with streamlining their admin, marketing, and operations.AI as a Tool for Busy Mothers: Nadia shares how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a valuable tool for efficiency, helping her get things done quicker. Specifically, she uses tools like (ChatGPT) to help plan her week and create a schedule that allows her to work around school drop-offs and pick-ups for her two boys. AI acts as a starting point, particularly when feeling stuck or lacking creativity.Key TakeawaysMindset and Belief are Key: Having a strong, positive mindset and believing in yourself and your vision are essential to overcoming fears and achieving goals. Nadia noted that her passion and strong urge for freedom needed to be stronger than her fear.Positive Network: It is crucial to surround yourself with positive people who encourage you and share similar goals. If you aim for a six-figure business, you need to surround yourself with six-figure business owners. Negative people can drag you down and make the task seem impossible. Networking is a huge step when starting out.Sustainable Growth: Entrepreneurial women often get stuck at a certain level because they are too involved in the day-to-day running of the business and have not learned to delegate. Outsourcing processes, such as hiring a VBM, simplifies operations, reduces overwhelm, and provides the necessary time to focus on marketing and growth.Monetisation Block: The transition from employee (who expects money at the end of the week) to entrepreneur (who must work long periods before income is generated) is challenging. Many women face a block regarding sales and monetising their services, sometimes opting for free coaching sessions instead. Reading books on mindset can help address these blocks.Support the Podcast and Loraine's recovery Buy Me Coffee Invitation To Join Skool As A Creator
