Rich Life Plan (Money, Investing, Entrepreneurship, Mindset)

What if becoming a business owner does not require starting from zero? In this episode of Rich Life Plan podcast, the conversation breaks down a different path to entrepreneurship: buying a small business that already exists. Instead of coming up with a brand-new idea, finding your first customer, building from scratch, and hoping it works, this episode explains how entrepreneurship through acquisition allows you to buy an existing business and focus on growing, improving, and operating something that already has customers, revenue, and a track record. The guest shares her journey from travel and startups to business school, private equity, and ultimately becoming an entrepreneur herself. She explains why you do not need an MBA to become a business owner, but you do need to understand the basics of business, finance, accounting, sales, operations, valuation, and due diligence. She also explains the difference between founding a company and buying one — and why those are two very different skill sets. This conversation is a practical guide for anyone who has ever wanted to own a business but felt intimidated by the idea of starting from nothing. You will learn how people actually find small businesses for sale, including marketplaces like BizBuySell and Acquire.com, what a search fund is, why some of the best deals may never officially hit the market, and how to start getting reps by talking to business brokers and business owners before you are ready to make an offer. The episode also walks through what happens after you find a business you might want to buy. It explains what a letter of intent is, why tax returns and bank statements matter, how to validate revenue and profit, what due diligence actually means, when to bring in a CPA or attorney, and the red flags that should make you slow down or walk away. This includes one of the biggest lessons from the acquisition process: if the seller’s answers keep changing, if the numbers do not line up, or if your gut is telling you something is off, that is part of the deal too. You will also hear the real financial side of buying a business, including how buyers think about purchase price, debt, SBA loans, down payments, personal guarantees, and how much capital you may need to bring to the table. The conversation explains why financing a business can create real risk, why personal guarantees matter, and why understanding your downside is just as important as getting excited about the upside. If you have ever searched “how to buy a small business,” wondered whether buying a business is better than starting one, or dreamed of becoming a business owner without launching a startup from scratch, this episode will give you a real-world look at what the process actually takes. This is not motivational fluff. It is a practical conversation about entrepreneurship, acquisition, money, risk, due diligence, and what it really means to buy your way into business ownership  without starting from zero.

Starting this week, new episodes of the Rich Life Plan podcast are moving from Mondays to Tuesdays. Same show, same mission; just a new day. In this episode of Rich Life Plan podcast, we’re talking about 5 travel destinations that will change the way you think about money, life, and what it actually means to live a rich life. This is not a luxury travel guide or a list of expensive vacations you need to book to keep up with what you see on Instagram. This is a conversation about how travel can wake you up, expand your perspective, make you more grateful, and remind you what money is actually for. Travel does not have to mean a five-star hotel in Europe, a designer outfit, a champagne breakfast, or a $1,200-a-night hotel room. It can be a road trip, a long weekend, a national park, or a town two hours away that makes you feel like you stepped into another world. The point is not to impress anybody. The point is to break out of your usual routine and remember that your way of living is not the only way to live. You’ll hear what Egypt, the Dolomites in Italy, South Africa, the United States, and Turkiye can teach you about work, opportunity, gratitude, beauty, hospitality, and building a life that actually feels rich. From the pyramids of Egypt to the mountains of the Dolomites, from Cape Town and Johannesburg to Newport, national parks, Istanbul, Cappadocia, Ephesus, and the Turkish coast, this episode is about more than travel destinations. It is about perspective. This episode also challenges the way we think about money. Money is not just for emergencies, bills, debt, retirement, or looking successful from the outside. Money is also a tool for connection, gratitude, beauty, freedom, and the chance to feel alive again. If travel has not been on your agenda, this episode will encourage you to start small, create a travel fund, open a separate savings account, name it something that excites you, and set up an automatic transfer even if it is just $20 a week. You do not need the perfect trip, the perfect budget, or the perfect season of life to start living more intentionally. You can start with a road trip. You can book the girls’ weekend. You can go somewhere that wakes you up. Because the goal is not to look rich. The goal is to live a rich life.

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, burned out, or like you are living on autopilot? This episode is your wake-up call. So many people move through life rushing, surviving, people-pleasing, staying busy, paying the bills, checking the boxes, and telling themselves, “I’m fine.” But when you never stop long enough to take inventory of your life, you can lose years without realizing it. One ignored feeling, one avoided truth, one rushed decision at a time and suddenly you wake up exhausted, disconnected, and wondering how you got here. In this episode of Rich Life Plan, Gokce shares a simple 5-minute self-awareness practice to help you pause, get honest with yourself, and reconnect with where your life is actually headed. This is not a productivity hack. This is not about forcing yourself to do more. This is about awareness  because awareness is where real change starts. You’ll learn how to ask yourself two powerful questions: "Where am I at?" and "Where am I going?". These questions will help you take inventory of your life, notice what is draining you, see what is working, and get clear about the choices you need to make before exhaustion, burnout, stress, or emotional decision-making take over. This episode is for you if you feel stuck in survival mode, overwhelmed by life, unsure of your next step, disconnected from yourself, or tired of drifting through your days without a clear direction. It is also for you if you are making big decisions around money, work, relationships, family, goals, personal growth, or the next chapter of your life. Before you get another degree, pay the next bill, cash the next check, stay in the relationship, quit the job, make the emotional decision, or keep pretending everything is fine; pause. Take five minutes. Ask yourself the truth. Because if you are not choosing your direction, you are drifting. And drifting rarely leads to the life you actually want. You’ll learn how to take inventory of your life in five minutes, recognize when you are living on autopilot, use self-awareness to get unstuck, stop ignoring the feelings you already know are trying to get your attention, make better decisions with more emotional clarity, understand where your life is headed if nothing changes, reconnect with your goals and future self, and start choosing your direction again. If you are ready to stop the exhaustion, burnout, overwhelm, and autopilot living, this 5-minute practice will help you hear yourself clearly again.

You’ve probably heard that most actively managed mutual fund managers don’t actually beat the stock market.

If your career or business has started to feel shaky and you can’t quite explain why, you’re not alone.  AI headlines. Layoffs. Automation. Even when your career feels “fine,” there’s that quiet question in the back of your mind: Am I still going to be okay a year from now? In this episode, we talk to Rahul Desai, founder and CEO of AI America. Rahul helps shifts the AI conversation from fear to possibility.  Not by pretending AI isn’t changing work and not by telling you to start over.  We talk about how business and jobs are actually evolving, why experience still matters at work, and how people who move calmly instead of reactively are finding real opportunities in the AI economy. You’ll hear how AI training is already being paid for by employers and government workforce programs, what “being indispensable” really means in this moment, and why curiosity beats panic every single time for a rich life. This isn’t about chasing AI or business trends or becoming technical overnight.  It’s about understanding where the opportunity is in your career, how to access it, and how to move forward with a bulletproof mindset so that you're confident instead of stressed.       Show Notes: AI America           Disclaimer Connect with us: Instagram Facebook RLP Website Thanks for listening to Rich Life Plan podcast!

Every Super Bowl party has the same moment when the game fades into the background, phones come out, and suddenly, everyone’s talking about money.  Sports betting and prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket.  Easy wins, smart trades, and "this is how people get rich now.”  The truth is, most people in that conversation don’t actually know which money game they’re playing. In this Super Bowl bonus episode of Rich Life Plan, we break down the three money games people constantly confuse, gambling, speculation, and investing, and explain why mixing them up could sabotage your ability to build real wealth over time. This isn’t an episode about football.  It’s about money psychology and how confusing entertainment with strategy can keep smart people financially stuck.

Most people don’t realize this until it’s too late.  One of the biggest financial decisions you’ll ever make doesn’t feel like a financial decision at all and by the time it does, the cost is already locked in. College is a big life moment.  It's something you’re supposed to celebrate and feel proud of but it’s also one of the largest financial commitments and investments most families will ever make. This episode reframes college financial planning before pressure, prestige, or early decision timelines quietly take over. Today on Rich Life Plan, we unpack what most people miss about college costs, student loan debt, and paying for college and why the real risk isn’t rejection, but the long-term tradeoffs that show up years later in real life. If you’re starting to question the return on investment of college  or want a calmer, clearer way to think about college debt and long-term financial flexibility, this conversation gives you a 4 step framework that protects options instead of limiting them. College isn’t just an education decision.  It’s a life decision and seeing it clearly now can change what’s possible later.     Show Notes: U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard College Net Price Calculator   Disclaimer Connect with us: Instagram Facebook RLP Website Thanks for listening to Rich Life Plan podcast!

Why do so many smart, capable women hesitate before making money decisions they already understand?  In this episode of Rich Life Plan podcast, we explain why financial confidence for women isn’t about mindset.  It’s about history. For generations, women were legally excluded from financial independence, credit, property ownership, and investing. The laws changed, but the habits didn’t. If you’ve ever second-guessed yourself with money, felt behind even when you’re doing things right, or lacked confidence with investing, this episode explains why. It shows that hesitation may be learned, not a personal failure, and how things change once you understand where it comes from.       Disclaimer Connect with us: Instagram Facebook RLP Website Thanks for listening to Rich Life Plan podcast!

This episode is for anyone who set a New Year's goal and already feels stuck, behind, or discouraged.  If you’ve fallen off track, this episode shows you how to fix the plan instead of starting over. January 19th is known as “Quitter’s Day"; the point when motivation fades and most New Year goals quietly collapse.

Because what’s really standing between you and your goal isn’t discipline. It’s taking the time to slow down, notice what broke, and adjust the plan instead of blaming yourself. If you’re willing to give your goal a thoughtful, honest effort and build awareness instead of relying on motivation, this episode shows you how to stay in the game long enough to actually get there.     Show Notes: How To Do New Year Goals Differently This Year       Disclaimer Connect with us: Instagram Facebook RLP Website Thanks for listening to Rich Life Plan podcast!

Silver just quietly crossed a line most people weren’t watching and when that happens in money, it usually matters. For decades, silver sat in the background; dismissed as volatile or irrelevant.  Something shifted though and while most people were distracted, institutional money started moving in.  Governments changed how they classify it and supply fell behind demand and suddenly, silver did something it hadn’t done in over 40 years. In this episode, you’ll learn why that change matters even if you never buy a single ounce. It’s about understanding what’s changing and what silver reveals about the future of money, technology, and where real pressure is building beneath the surface. You’ll walk away clearer on why silver behaves differently than gold, why it’s tied to the modern world in a way most people don’t realize, and how to think about it intelligently without chasing headlines or panic-buying. If you like knowing what’s changing before it becomes obvious, this conversation will sharpen how you see the world and your money today.       Show Notes: The Big Deal About Gold and Why It Means for Your Money in 2025   Disclaimer Connect with us: Instagram Facebook RLP Website Thanks for listening to Rich Life Plan podcast!

Gold is back in the spotlight and not because of jewelry trends. For the first time since 1996, foreign countries are holding more gold than U.S. government debt and that shift says a lot. They’re quietly shifting away from the U.S. dollar and choosing to store value in something they trust more. That’s a big deal because when the people who move the global economy start changing course, it’s time to ask: should you be paying attention too? In this episode, we break down what that actually means (in plain English), why it’s happening now, and how it could impact your money, your portfolio, and the way you think about financial safety in today’s world.

Lindsay Scherr Burgess wasn’t trying to start a business. She wasn’t plotting a brand strategy or chasing investors.
