Today’s guest is Blayne Bristol. She is a former opera singer-turned-entrepreneur. Blayne is the founder and CEO of Beyond Bridges Social. Her company is a one-stop shop for digital marketing with a focus geared towards Commercial Real Estate.

Blayne completely opens up with us as she shares both the highs and lows of her money memoirs. She shares with us how she used to have a selfish mindset without even realizing it, how pushing herself to the limit took a huge toll on her health and the collapse and rise of her financial story.

In This Episode We Discuss:

  • That you can dig out of the hole and it doesn’t need to take as long as you think.
  • The danger of overextending yourself.
  • How it only took 90 days to make and break her financial story.
  • The lightbulb moment when Blayne decided to apply investment principles to her debt repayment plan.
  • How she’s paying off around $100k of debt in just 24 months.

The Word of the Day: Bootstrapping

The dictionary definition is to “get (oneself or something) into or out of a situation using existing resources.” Blayne isn’t getting out of debt because she hit the lotto or found a job with a huge pay raise. Instead, she figured out how to use the income she already had to dig her way out of the hole as quickly as possible.

If you feel like your financial situation is hopeless I can promise you that it’s not. You may just need a new perspective.
