  • Candy Valentino and The 9% Edge: How to Create Financial Freedom and Build a Successful Business That Generates Wealth

    Candy Valentino and The 9% Edge: How to Create Financial Freedom and Build a Successful Business That Generates Wealth
    Oct 25 2024
    In this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I sit down with the incredible entrepreneur, investor, and author Candy Valentino. Candy takes us on a fascinating journey from her humble beginnings and early business ventures to her impressive success in real estate and the medspa industry. We dive into her formative years, where she learned the importance of financial discipline, smart investments, and the value of appreciating assets over flashy, depreciating ones. Candy also shares valuable insights from her latest book, the "9% Edge," which uncovers why over 90% of businesses fail within ten years and how to tip the scales in favor of entrepreneurial success. Her personal stories about overcoming financial and gender-based challenges are both inspiring and practical. We talk about the importance of understanding financial dynamics, making disciplined decisions, and building businesses that can run independently, offering freedom and a legacy rather than just creating another job for yourself. Tune in for an eye-opening conversation that's packed with wisdom, real-world strategies, and a few laughs along the way. As always, I invite you to join us and leave your takeaways and reviews.
