Hosts Jessilyn and Brian Persson discuss the transformative power of mindset in personal and financial growth. They begin by highlighting the common struggles couples face when aligning financial goals and reveal how shifting perspectives can help them overcome these obstacles. Jessily and Brian share personal experiences that illustrate how limiting beliefs, like the “poverty mindset,” can persist even with financial stability.

They both reflect on how, despite earning high incomes early in their careers, they still faced anxieties around money and security, which impacted their relationship and financial goals. Through intentional self-development and embracing a more growth-oriented mindset, they found a way to redefine success and focus on expanding their contributions beyond finances alone.

Jessilyn and Brian recommend three main strategies to help embrace a growth mindset: choosing your hard, decluttering your environment and life, and setting clear intentions, even when it feels impossible. They also discuss the challenges of entrepreneurship, handling rejection, and the necessity of financial discipline, illustrating that every aspect of building wealth and stronger relationships requires stepping out of one’s comfort zone. By facing these challenges head-on, they believe couples can create a life aligned with their values, filled with meaningful relationships and financial freedom.

Jessilyn Persson: [00:00:09] Welcome to the Life by Design Podcast. We are your hosts, Jessilyn and Brian Persson. Are you and your partner looking to align your financial goals and build wealth together? Have you ever wondered what might be stopping you from confidently investing in real estate or growing your wealth as a couple? Or why it feels so hard to get on the same page financially?

Brian Persson: [00:00:29] That's exactly why we created this podcast and the 'Riches, Relationships, and Real Estate' program, to help couples like you invest confidently and achieve both your financial and relationship goals. If you're curious to learn more, head over to discoverlifebydesign.ca/wealth and download our free guide, 'The 3 Mistakes That Keep Couples From Building Their Wealth'. Let's start building the life you deserve together.

Jessilyn Persson: [00:00:56] Today's topic is, how to embrace the challenge of expanding your mindset. We've definitely had our challenges through the years as we grew and kept expanding our mindset with our business, with the way we chose to raise our family and the way we chose to spend time with family. Do you want to share with our audience one of the many challenges we had?

Brian Persson: [00:01:21] Let's be honest, what's going on in your head is going to reflect out into the world. Your mindset is going to change how the world looks like to you. For me, the biggest challenge for my mindset was, effectively, my early career. I did well, I very quickly went to a six digit career. When you get in that, you know the old saying, golden handcuffs makes you very comfortable. Then I didn't move. I sat in that job, not realizing that there was more to me than that job. So the biggest mindset challenge for me was getting my head out of that, and understanding that I can be more.

Jessilyn Persson: [00:02:12] I think around money and career is a good one. I know for myself, when I was younger, younger being probably early 30s, I remember your dad used to do our taxes. I remember a comment your dad made to me once, and your dad is a retired chartered accountant, he worked for a big company, so I assume he made some pretty good money. I remember one comment after he did our taxes one year, he looks at me and he's like, you make more than I ever did. I was like, oh. In my mind, I didn't have enough. I was never a big spender, I was quite frugal, just based on my upbringing. To put that into reality of 'I made more than your dad', who's doing very well, your parents have done very well for themselves. To think that I didn't have enough and that I was still in that poverty mindset and mentality, and I had to shift that. Even though you were making six digits, I was making well in the six digits, and young in our careers considerably for making that amount of money, so combined our household was making good money, but yet I was living, in my mind, like when I was a kid and we didn't have money.

Brian Persson: [00:03:21] You were already there, in the expense deficit scenario. I was the other way. I was like, we got everything we need, why are we struggling to get more? Do we not have enough?

Jessilyn Persson: [00:03:40] To me, we didn't. I wasn't looking factually at what we had, it wasn't that we didn't have enough in terms of our house and our vehicle and that kind of thing. I just felt like I had to work hard, I had to keep making more money because one day it's going to be gone. One day I'm not gonna have it. It was that anxiety that kept me pushing, and not necessarily in a positive way.

Brian Persson: [00:04:00] Even when I pointed it out on paper to you, that we had enough and that there was much buffer. You were like, okay. Two months later, you're back in the same track to 'we have to have more'. For me, the real challenge was getting my head around the fact that it wasn't more money that we needed, it was more of 'us'. We needed to be bigger, better, stronger people, do more things and not let our life live statically sitting in these good jobs, just coast. It almost felt like we were coasting. So that was the big thing, it's not more money, it's more of who we are that needs to be created.

Jessilyn Persson: [00:04:51] And that encompasses wealth. We needed more wealth, which is money as well, because we knew we wanted to give back in a bigger, bolder way. To be able to give back, even just with our time and our ideas, we needed money to sustain that. So we had that space to be able to do that.

Brian Persson: [00:05:12] What's one of the easiest measurements of if you're doing well and you're growing yourself? Money. Our coach and mentor Richard Dolan always says, the dollars keep the score, and it's true. We knew the easiest way for us to grow ourselves was to see how we could challenge ourselves in business and in real estate. Along with that came how we challenge ourselves in our relationship and how we challenge ourselves with our kids and things like that. The whole environment around us grew along with it. It wasn't like our bank accounts just got fat. That was the totality of what we grew as a couple and as individuals.

Jessilyn Persson: [00:06:00] That's going to roll us right into takeaway number one which is, choose your hard. We know from firsthand experience that a lot of the paths we went down were not easy. Starting a company is hard, and I think every entrepreneur can tell you that. Building a real estate portfolio was hard. We didn't have a clue what we were doing off the hop. To learn that and make those mistakes ...
