Teaching Your Team To Make More Money and Manage It Better - EP 126

50 Min Listen

Today, we’re diving into a powerful and often overlooked topic: promoting financial literacy among our teams. We’ve all heard the stories of people who create massive success—building millions—only to end up broke. It’s not just about how much you make; it’s about what you do with it. As business leaders, we need to go beyond offering competitive salaries and start investing in our employees' financial knowledge. Many of our team members, even those with great incomes, feel financial strain simply because no one has ever taught them how to manage their money effectively. This episode is all about how we, as leaders, can help our teams make better financial decisions and live more secure, stable lives.

In my experience, keeping great employees isn’t just about the paycheck—it’s about showing them you genuinely care. Teaching financial literacy can be a game-changer. Whether it’s providing resources like Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University or gifting books like The Automatic Millionaire, giving employees the tools to manage their finances sets them up for long-term success. I’ve seen firsthand how focusing on budgeting, saving, and smart investments can shift not only an individual’s financial trajectory but also their mindset. It’s not about offering financial advice but fostering a culture where employees are encouraged to live below their means and focus on building a future. When employees know we’re invested in their well-being, it creates loyalty and trust that’s hard to find elsewhere.

We’ll also explore the importance of aligning spending with long-term goals. From downsizing to save for a business venture to skipping luxury purchases, success often comes from making intentional sacrifices. Whether it’s deciding not to buy a pricey coffee every day or trading handbags for a house, living below your means is key. This episode offers practical advice, personal stories, and strategies to empower your team to make smarter financial choices. Ultimately, when employees thrive financially, it benefits not just them but the entire organization. Let’s make financial literacy a priority—because investing in our teams means investing in the future.
