How did Tiffany lose a million dollars in three months?
People listening right now, I would say you're leaving millions of dollars on the table by not having stuff addressed that you've been carrying from childhood. That stuff left unaddressed bleeds into your business faster than people realize. Tiffany Carter.
She became a millionaire by age 30 and then lost it all nearly just three months later. In this episode, Tiffany reveals how trauma, people pleasing, scarcity, and a lack of boundaries can quietly sabotage your success.
Without self-worth, you sell your soul and you start doing things or you avoid doing things that would get you to where you want to go so much faster.
And you talk about this ego death.
In order to quantum jump, the ego is what's holding us back.
That has to die off in order for you to What is your number one piece of advice to be better at selling without being manipulative?
Number one you're talking too much. We over talk when we're nervous, we over talk when we're eager. We over talk out of excitement. You need to have the other person talking more and you listening more. The other thing
Tiffany, welcome to Young and Profiting Podcast.
Thank you. I'm so happy to be here and finally connect with you in real life.
I want to start off by talking about a story that I learned about you when I was researching you, that you acquired a million dollars by the time you were 30, which is like everyone's dream. So many people listening to this podcast wish they could have a million dollars by the age of 30, but you ended up losing it all within three months. So talk to us about why you didn't have the identity that was able to keep the money that you made.
How I was raised was in a highly abusive environment. And so I had no self-worth. But on the outside, I knew how to fake it. I knew how to mask. I watched other people who seemed confident and I mimicked them. And so that was a survival trait that I was able to have some level of success with. And because I had no fallback person or plan or family, to me, money equaled safety. If I accumulated enough wealth. I would have the options, I would have the ability to protect myself and I wouldn't have to depend on anyone or do anything I didn't want to do for money. So I was fixated on it. And it's an important part of the story because that's not actually a healthy way to go about accumulating money, but it does work, but it comes at a cost.
So because I had underneath all of that no self-worth, when I And I did see that seven figures in my bank account cross over. I remember where I was standing in my luxury townhouse in Los Angeles. I was by myself. And I went, oh, okay. That's pretty cool. And then immediately I felt this feeling in my stomach. I can remember it like it was yesterday. Like now what am I gonna do? And Who am I to have this? So then those nasty inner critic voices came up. You're an idiot. You don't know what to do with money. And you're selfish. Now you've got to help more people because you have this money. In fact, you're not helping enough people. And it was just going on and on and on. And so I did what I know other people have told me they've also done too, is that like I sought help, I sought counsel.
Yeah. And I asked an old mentor of mine for a referral for a financial advisor. And I did not trust my own instincts. This is someone who showed up to a meeting wearing like board shorts and a t shirt. Now, listen, when you're meeting someone who's not a like a longtime client. Yeah. You want to show up. That's kind of weird. Yeah. And I thought it was weird. I even and I'm like, oh, you're just being you're being judgmental. Like this is how people operate who have a lot of money. You know, they don't care. So they just show up. Whatever, which it is kind of true. I mean, I don't look like that right now, but most of the time you see me out and about same here. Same here. I'm in a yoga outfit and that's it. I'm you're like
You're like I'm in a workout outfit. It looks like I don't work, right? And then he gave me a whole stack of papers I had a sign and I own my part in it.
