The Best “Dad” Financial Advice that Money Can’t Buy
At some point or another, you may have bumped into different spiritual teachers or wandered into a few magically inclined spaces who espoused ideas like money is “just energy” or that the key to achieving financial abundance is all about “shifting your mindset”. At Holisticism, we feel that just ain’t it.
Over the next few weeks, we’ll be chatting with different guests and hearing from you, our dear community, on several aspects of financial well-being and what it means to manage and grow your finances from a holistic perspective.
This week, we’re lucky to be joined by the one and only Greg Pellizzon (Michelle’s Dad!) to kick off this exciting series with the best financial advice which, money truly can't buy ;)

“The obstacle you need to overcome is your mindset or your fear, or your self-sabotaging habits.”
“I think everyone can attempt to be an entrepreneur. I don’t know if that means they’re going to be successful just because they attempt.”
“To be an entrepreneur, you gotta be selfish, but you got to be unselfish. And it sounds bipolar. You gotta be selfish about the pride that you have in the business. But then you gotta be unselfish about the tasks that you’ll do for the business.”
“It’s not going to be easy. Just be prepared for it. There are things you can control and there are things you can’t control. Don’t confuse the two. And don’t blame yourself for things you can’t control. Be ready to zig and zag and change your system if something needs to be changed. Don’t be afraid to change it during that time.”
“Just don’t give up. In the end, you’re gonna have to work harder and work longer. Just don’t quit.”
“It’s a great period. When things are going great, it’s kind of boring because things are going too smoothly.”
“Don’t put yourself in a position where it can be fatal.”
“Hang in there, man, to stay in the game. You have to persevere on some days. If it looks like you’re at the end of your rope, just don’t quit. And in the end, that will help you a lot. That’s the most important thing.”
“That’s one thing about success. You don’t really appreciate it until you’ve gone through a tough period, or you’ve had some trials and tribulations, and then success becomes much more tangible.”
