182: Why High Earners Still Feel Financial Pressure (Even With Money in the Bank)

Profit and Prosper

Do you have $50k, $250k, or even $500k saved up… but still find yourself spiraling about money? You’re not alone. In this episode, I’m talking directly to the high earners who still feel like it’s not enough. Whether it’s decision fatigue, the fear of making the wrong move, or the weight of running a growing business, financial pressure doesn’t always go away with more revenue. In fact, sometimes it gets louder. I’ll walk you through why scaling doesn’t have to come with burnout, the three things you need to eliminate financial anxiety as a CEO, and why having a clear roadmap for the next 1–5 years is key to long-term security and peace. This one’s for the business owner who’s doing well on paper—but still can’t sleep at night. Let’s change that.
