In this episode, Leonardo Ochoa shares from his more than 10 years of experience as a CFO. His main role has been helping businesses transition their home offices to Mexico. He shares his insights on these experiences. He says many companies, entrepreneurs and investors have a great vision but legal, regulatory, and operational issues limit them in the fulfillment of their objectives, even more so when the company is outside their country.

He serves as the tour guide to overcoming these challenges. This need inspired him to do what he does today, even though he's a CFO his main experience is in helping to establish new companies to settle in Mexico. His unique position gives him the ability to understand the cultural differences between countries and people to be a mediator between their culture and that of Mexico. Leonardo shares from his experiences the necessity of truth in business and creating accountability through operating procedures.

He says the three lessons he would share with his younger self to guarantee success would be:

Hurley Fox - Don't Put Pressure On Your Passion

In this episode of the SAGE Mindset Podcast, I interview Hurley Fox. Hurley is a business consultant and bookkeeper with an educational background who loves making the lives of business owners easier. He is passionate about helping people get control of their business expenses and cash flow.

He shares the importance of paying off your debts and understanding what is getting in the way of being more profitable. One key point that really jumps out is his statement, "Don't put pressure on your passion". It's the idea that when your passion is being squeezed by your financial needs (for many) this crushes the passion and prevents progress. To combat this, he suggests using your W2 to fund your passion. 

Finally, he encourages you to look at the 5 people that you interact with the most and determine if the sum of who they are is who you want to be. If not, find 5 other people to influence your life.
