The Chris Harder Show

I'm a firm believer that if you're living a luxurious life, but your family is suffering financially, then you're actually not living a rich life at all. Instead, you're living a greedy life. I want to share a story that really drives home why it's so important to seek financial freedom not just for yourself, but also for your loved ones.  I'm highlighting a moment where financial abundance allowe...

Lori and I have been pushing up against a lot of resistance lately. But, we've made a commitment to consistently step into resistance because we know that we'll be rewarded for it in the long run.  It can be so tempting to choose the easier, more comfortable option, but once you start training yourself to push through the resistance, all of the things that you really want are waiting for you on th...

Your business doesn't have to suffer during an economic slowdown. It's your job to convey the absolute need for your product instead of marketing it as a nice-to-have item in someone's budget. I break down some examples of how to make this happen in a variety of businesses and illustrate how you can work with trends in purchasing behavior. It's all about tweaking your language and getting in front...

The thoughts that you have in your head and the words that come out of your mouth will always override any good intentions or big financial goals that you might have. But, when you start to rewrite those subconscious beliefs and spread positivity, you can change your financial outcome.    It can feel really confrontational and uncomfortable to do this money mindset work, but it's the number one wa...

When you look into the future, you're just inviting in anxiety over something that probably isn't going to happen or isn't going to feel the way that you think it's going to feel. Instead, you could be living in the present and savoring the moment. I know, so much easier said than done, but this idea has really resonated for Lori and me this past month with all of the events and traveling that's b...

Children's books are a great way to diversify your income and make an impact. Whether it's because you want to do it as a business, leave a legacy message to the next generation, or just do something that's out of your comfort zone, children's books are a great way to call in new opportunities and customers.  I'm joined by children's book author and publisher Miriam Laundry to discuss the benefits...

These past few weeks, I've been traveling all across the country for different speaking and teaching engagements. From Beverly Hills to New York City, the common question I got from each group was this: Should we be worried about a recession coming up?    I'm sharing the three concrete reasons why I'm not worried about a strong economic catastrophe in the pipeline. I explain why the supply side of...

Lori and I are discussing where our confidence and motivation stem from, and our top tips for creating really strong networking relationships. We get into the importance of expanding your skillset, keeping promises to yourself, and fulfilling your purpose. We're all about unapologetically chasing our dreams and creating generational wealth, which requires a strong mindset and a lot of willpower to...

I've been in New York City this past week and having great conversations with industry leaders and game-changing entrepreneurs. As I've looked at each person and their journey to success, I've noticed three common threads: they all practice radical consistency, powerful networking, and strong money management. I break down what those three traits look like in action and explain how to execute on t...

I'm in New York City right now and this place just fills me up with so much inspiration for what money can accomplish. When you plug into the financial wins that you see around you and celebrate them, that energy comes right back around into your bank account. I'm sharing two money mindset exercises that are super helpful for noticing abundance. If you make them a regular practice, the possibiliti...

Whether you're speaking for an hour or running a week-long mastermind, the way that you show up for your audience will either make or break your brand and your long-term dreams. I'm going on my sixth year of running the Elite Mastermind, and Lori and I sat down to discuss the preparation that goes into making these events successful. We detail the rituals we do beforehand, how we ensure that we're...

2022 has easily been one of my best years yet, and it's all because I took the time to map it out beforehand. I created a template to get really clear on what I needed to add and get rid of in my routine, which has resulted in me having the happiest and most accomplished year of my life. I break down how to set the chart up, examples of what I included in each category, and what I noticed about my...

I'll be totally honest一when I look at my own stock portfolio, I'm down 43% right now. It's not ideal, but it doesn't have to determine my outcome. In both good times and bad, your results are always all about your preparation. There's plenty of opportunity in front of you, but the key is being able to recognize what they are and capitalize on them now. I'm sharing the five R's that are going to h...

The common thread between our happiest, wealthiest, and most successful friends is that they all have a daily manifestation or visualization practice. Lori and I find it so important to set a target every single day and stay consistent with action steps that align with those big dreams. I break down both the woo-woo and logical side of manifestation and Lori explains why you need to really tune in...

I recently got a great question from a listener that I wanted to address on the show because it's something that I'm really passionate about. She asked if proximity matters and my answer is absolutely, yes.  Proximity is the shortcut to getting where you want to go. For Lori and I, it required moving to a more connected city, stretching ourselves to live in wealthier neighborhoods, and joining lux...

You know how I always start these Money Monday episodes off by saying that prosperity and generosity can and must coexist? I had an experience the other day that reminded me why that's my life motto.  I want to share this story with you as a reminder to always keep your head up, your eyes open, and look for opportunities where you can help somebody that could use a little lift up. I had the chance...

If you can learn how to teach through stories, then you're not only going to be one of the most interesting people in the room, but it's also going to enrich your content creation. Lori and I discuss the power of story and how to use it in your business. We illustrate why it's so important to be an engaging storyteller and share tips for how to craft a message that will keep your audience at the e...

I'm joined by one of my good friends Kacia Ghetmiri to discuss everything from overcoming the fear of being a beginner to the importance of investing in yourself straight out of the gate. Kacia is the host of the EmpowerHER podcast and live event, which Lori and I will be speaking at in just a couple of weeks. Both Kacia and her husband have gone through my Elite Mastermind and I couldn't be more...

I just got back from one of the most amazing hotel stays that I've ever experienced, and it got me thinking about how to justify charging more for your services. If you want to raise your prices and have people excited to pay that premium, then you need to act and deliver like a five-star service. I share what I learned about the hiring process at Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts that sets them apa...

Just like your investment portfolio, you want your friend group to be diverse. At this stage in our lives, Lori and I have realized that success doesn't just mean being financially free. We want to prioritize family and friends, and bring more adventure and culture into our lives. We feel so lucky to have the network that we do, and we've gotten here by intentionally collecting people, celebrating...

When you're turned off by rich people displaying their wealth, all that's doing is solidifying the fact that you're going to live a life of mediocrity or ongoing financial struggle. If you're listening to this show, I know that you're kind, generous, creative, and uniquely you. Having money is going to allow you to amplify those traits and make the world a better place. I'm sharing a great exercis...

Lori and I have always created what we wished existed, and masterminds are no exception. Lori just got back from a life-changing trip with two women that she formed a mini mastermind group with, and we wanted to break down how you can do the same. Lori explains where this idea came from, how she built the container to do it, and the non-negotiables that the group has set for each other. Lori and I...

I'm joined by Ariel Carr, a social media monetization powerhouse, to discuss everything from growth strategy, online sales tactics, and what's going on with TikTok right now. She shares her secrets to finding success in the e-book industry, including exactly what topics, lengths, and price points are selling right now.    She expands on why she's so passionate about teaching people how to create m...

The billionaires and business legends of the world have one thing in common: they have impossible-sized dreams that lead to their incredible wealth. Lori and I have always been unapologetically big dreamers and I truly believe that's a huge reason behind our financial success. Where I see most people get stuck is that they limit their vision to what their current financial situation convinces them...

Every little decision you make in a day is either stealing from your future or fueling it. Everything from what's on your plate, how you move your body, who you spend your time with, and what tasks are in your schedule affects your future self. Lori and I share examples of how this concept has shown up in our lives and how we know when something will expand or deplete us in the future. So, what de...
