The Millionaire Mindset Playbook - How To Scale Your Mind For 8 Figure Wealth
11/04/2025
The Millionaire Mindset Playbook - How To Scale Your Mind For 8 Figure Wealth
Jackson Millan, The Wealth Mentor, relaunches The Financial Freedom Secrets Show with a new, playbook-driven format. This solo kickoff unpacks Aureus Financial’s end-to-end approach for seven-figure service businesses: squeezing more profit, buying back time, and manufacturing freedom by turning business cash flow into personal wealth. Jackson introduces the Wealth Mastery Machine: a system designed to deliver regular, repeatable results, and walks through a 90-day Eight-Figure Mindset Transformation Workbook. You’ll learn how to diagnose the seven-figure trap, rewire your identity from business operator to wealth creator, apply six core mental models (like profit extraction over reinvestment and systems over sweat), and build automated wealth systems across liquid investments, property, business assets, and alternatives. If you want to disconnect effort from income and compound wealth outside your business, this episode is your step-by-step start. Take the 40-point Financial Performance Scorecard at wealthhealthcheck.com.au to access the workbook and bonus resources. Key Takeaways - Business ≠ Wealth: Seven-figure revenue can still mean being “wealth-poor.” Measure it with the wake-up ratio: personal net wealth ÷ annual business revenue. - Get crystal clear on outcomes, presuppose wealth-building activity with systems, then manage compounding as a distinct skillset. - Shift identity: business operator → wealth creator. - Extract profit: take ≥20% of profit for investments (aim 50/50 with reinvestment). - Build systems, not sweat: automate investing so wealth grows while you sleep. - Diversify beyond the business: add liquid assets, property, acquisitions. - Choose legacy over lifestyle: set 10-year wealth + impact targets (use proper structures). - Make calculated bets: assess max loss, max gain, probability, then take the least risk needed. 90-Day Roadmap: Weeks 1–2: Wealth Order (identity audit, profit & energy allocation check, network audit). Weeks 3–6: Identity Upgrade (install “wealth creator” beliefs and habits). Weeks 7–8: Asset Diversification (start systems outside the business). Weeks 9–12: Eight-Figure Integration (lock in behaviors and metrics). Jump into our 40-Point Financial Performance Scorecard at https://www.wealthhealthcheck.com.au/?utm_source=organic&utm_medium=youtube to see how healthy your wealth really is and start building your own Wealth Mastery Machine today.

Build Trust, Not Just Leads: Marketing That Converts with Brett Ellis
In this episode, Jackson Millan and Brett Ellis discuss why building trust beats pushing for quick sales—especially in service based businesses where comfort and credibility matter most. They explain how sharing valuable content attracts the right audience and warms them up before inviting them to a call. Jackson and Brett also cover why Google Ads aren’t always the best fit for service businesses, and why social media, podcasts, and genuine conversations are better tools to grow your brand. Plus, they reveal the power of focusing your marketing on one key product or service that drives your business forward, avoiding the trap of spreading yourself too thin. If you want to build a marketing system that truly works and brings in better clients, this episode is a must-listen. Key Takeaways Build goodwill with low-barrier, high-value content before selling. Use educational funnels to identify and nurture ideal prospects. Google Ads can be costly and inefficient for many service industries. Social media and podcast-style content create authentic brand trust. Focus marketing on your “golden goose” product for maximum impact. Connect with Brett Ellis FB: IG: Important Links
