You can be brilliant with numbers and still miss the pattern that's holding you back.

In this episode of The Enlightened Executive, financial behaviorist Jacquette Timmons shares the pivotal moment when her longtime CPA asked, "When are you going to stop mortgaging your life?" That one question revealed a blind spot that changed how she approached her business, her money, and her leadership. 

We discuss: 

  •     Why blind spots form next to your strengths 
  •     How success can reinforce outdated habits 
  •     The emotional side of financial decisions 

    One practical step leaders can take to uncover what they can't see on their own 

If you've ever wondered whether your leadership habits are still serving you, this episode offers a fresh lens to find out.
