I read a post by Ramit Sethi a couple of months ago, and the question he posed to his audience was: What are some subtle signs of wealth? The comments that flooded in were hilarious and so on point. My favorite one was: Using an iPhone without a screen protector or protective casing.It made me laugh because it's such a small thing, but it says so much. It speaks to an ease or confidence that comes with a certain level of financial security. The idea that you don’t have to worry about something breaking, or even care if it does. It’s a form of freedom we all want.That post inspired today’s episode that is titled: The Subtle Signs of Owning a Business That Can Run Without You. These aren’t flashy, obvious signs that scream, "Look how well I’ve set up my business!" but rather, they’re those subtle shifts that speak volumes about your role in the business and the systems you’ve set up to support you. And like someone wise once told me…it isn’t sexy until it is.Watch the episode HERE Link to Music Credits Track: Positive MotivationAuthor: AShamaluevMusic (ASM)Publisher: CD Baby (IPI 700570289)Connect With Ilonka On Social MediaInstagram | Facebook | YouTube
