Business Breakthrough for Animal Therapists
The Mindset That Makes More Money with Jason Brown
What if making more money isn't actually about learning another sales strategy, raising your prices or finding more clients? What if it starts with who you believe you are capable of becoming? In this episode of the Business Breakthrough Podcast, I’m joined by Jason Brown — podcaster, coach, author, investor and creator of the Five-Year Millionaire — for a conversation that goes far beyond money. This is a first for the podcast to welcome an expert from outside the animal health industry! Jason shares his incredible journey from growing up with very little, to making six figures in the stock market in just six months, losing a quarter of a million dollars, becoming completely broke… and then rebuilding everything. But the most interesting part of his story isn't the money. It's the mindset that made him get back up. We talk about the beliefs we inherit about money, the voices that tell us to play small, why profit should be celebrated, and how to train your brain to stay focused on where you're going rather than constantly reacting to what's happening around you. And there is one question Jason asks himself that really stood out: “Do I have what it takes?” Not simply to make a million dollars, but to become the person capable of creating that level of value. In this episode, we talk about: Why you never go broke taking a profit Jason explains the story behind his famous “You Never Go Broke Taking a Profit” philosophy — and how failing to take a $100,000 profit taught him one of the biggest lessons of his investing career. The money beliefs you inherited Our relationship with money is often shaped long before we start our businesses. Jason shares how the beliefs he grew up with influenced the way he thought about wealth — and how he had to consciously create a completely new money mindset. What happens when you refuse to quit Jason lost a huge amount of money, but instead of deciding he wasn't capable, he asked a different question: Did I fail, or did I simply get smarter? That shift changed everything. Mindset is a muscle You don't build an unshakeable mindset once and then have it forever. Jason describes belief as something you have to exercise. The importance of staying focused on your vision Jason talks about creating a vision when he was flat broke and asking himself whether he had what it took to create enough value to make a million dollars. The goal was about who he would have to become to achieve it. Why “I'm not good with numbers” might not actually be the problem We dig into the ways business owners avoid their numbers — and how “I'm not good with numbers” can sometimes be a convenient way of avoiding uncomfortable truths about sales, marketing or profitability. Surrounding yourself with people who think bigger One of Jason's strategies for continuing to grow his own mindset is being around entrepreneurs operating at different levels. My biggest takeaway The amount of money you want to make isn't just a financial target. It's a personal development target. Because to create more, you often have to become more disciplined, more resilient, more decisive and more willing to challenge the beliefs you've been carrying for years. And sometimes the biggest thing standing between you and the next level of your business isn't your strategy. It's the story you're telling yourself about what's possible.
