I spent the day with an Oil Tycoon in Miami ⛽️ I asked @Rahki Giovanni her best business advice, what people stuck in 9-5 jobs should do if they want to take the leap into entrepreneurship, and how to stand out in a room full of billionaires. I also asked her the big question—do you really need to spend money to make money? Spending the day with her gave me a whole new perspective on success, and trust me—you don’t want to miss what she had to say. #entrepreneur #financialfreedom #motivation #wealth
