#374: Scott Oldford & How To Energetically Scale Past 7 Figures

·1 hr 2 min·5 clips

Scott Oldford reveals the one thing everyone truly wants, and it's not what you think.

Andy Murphy introduces Scott Oldford as a legitimate business figure he has watched for years, noting Scott's growth not just in business but as a human being, especially after becoming a father. Scott shares his background: an entrepreneur since age eight, he had a million-dollar business by 17, lost it all by 21, and rebuilt success over the past seven years. In 2018-2019, he ran a business doing $14 million annually but profited little, leading to reflection during a trip to Necker Island with Richard Branson. There, he realized his true desire was relaxation, not traditional business metrics like team size or expenses. He sold part of his company at a cost of $1 million to shut it down, then focused on finding harmony. Scott explains that 2020 became his most profitable year despite COVID, as he became more intentional. He took a five-month sabbatical in 2021, burning $200,000 monthly, which improved his money mindset. Scott now aims to transition from entrepreneur to investor and advisor, targeting the education sector to teach skills schools don't cover. He describes a meditation exercise where listeners visualize themselves at different financial levels to align decisions with future consciousness. Scott also introduces a framework of four levels of consciousness in business—reactive, willful, intellectual, and intuitive—and explains how marketing must match each level. He discusses certifying relationship coaches as an example of creating ripple effects. Throughout, Scott stresses self-trust, intuition, and avoiding ego-driven pursuits, sharing personal anecdotes like making $7 million in 2017 while being unhappier than when in debt.
