I want to talk to the person who is working hard every single day but still feels like money disappears too fast. I want to talk to the person who gets paid, handles bills, takes care of responsibilities, maybe helps everybody else and then looks up and wonders, “Why does it still feel like I’m not getting ahead?” If that’s you, this episode is for you. Today we’re talking about how to make your money work for you. This is about learning that every dollar comes into your hands has potential.

00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:58.200
Hello, I'm Angela Sharp, and I really want to say

14
00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:01.880
thank you for tuning in to ashak Outlook. Today we're

15
00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:07.319
going to talk about money needs a mission. Last week's podcast,

16
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:11.040
we were talking about money is more than math and

17
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:15.040
that we need to understand our relationship with money. But

18
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:17.959
today I want to talk about how we need to

19
00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:22.879
assign purpose to our money. Today, I want to talk

20
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:26.840
to the person out there who is working very hard

21
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:31.480
every single day but still feels like money disappears too fast.

22
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:34.920
I want to talk to that person that's listening who

23
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:39.840
gets paid, handles bills, takes care of responsibilities, but maybe

24
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:44.640
helps everybody else sometimes and then looks up and wonders,

25
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:48.359
why does it still feel like I'm not getting ahead?

26
00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:53.760
If that's you, this episode's for you today, because today

27
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:57.519
we're talking about how to make money work for you.

28
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:01.519
And let me say this from the beginning. This is

29
00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:07.920
not financial advice. This is a mindset shift. This is

30
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:13.039
about moving from survival mode to the point of thinking

31
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:17.840
about building, so you want to move to building mode.

32
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:23.520
This is about learning every dollar, understanding that every dollar

33
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:28.840
that comes into your hands, it carries potential of being

34
00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:33.199
much more than just a dollar. The truth is a

35
00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:36.199
lot of us we're taught how to work for money

36
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:41.439
and how to pay bills and how to shop things

37
00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:44.479
like that, but not how to make money work for you.

38
00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:49.879
And that has to change, and it has to change now.

39
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:54.199
Not just spending power, though I'm not going to just

40
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:58.560
talk about spending power, and not just bill money, and

41
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:04.199
not just temporary relief. We need to put our money

42
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:09.840
on a mission. Money needs purpose, Money needs a mission.

43
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:13.360
And here's the first thing I want you to understand

44
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:20.759
money without direction disappears if you don't tell your money

45
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:27.199
where to go, direction and what it needs to be

46
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:32.960
doing and help you decide what to do. Bills will

47
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:38.000
take it, impulse will take it, stress will take it,

48
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:42.280
emergencies will take it. There's going to be something else

49
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:44.759
that is going to take your money if you don't

50
00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:47.719
have purpose and direction for where you want your money

51
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:52.120
to go, and if before you know it, another month

52
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:55.159
has gone and you have nothing to show for your

53
00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:59.919
effort and all that you've done. That's why every dog

54
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:06.719
needs a mission. Some money needs. Some money needs to

55
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:12.520
be used to handle expenses for today, some money needs

56
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:18.319
to protect tomorrow, and some money needs to build your future.

57
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:21.879
And that is what it means to make your money

58
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:26.680
work for you. It means that your money is no

59
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:32.519
longer just passing through your hands. It's been assigned, it

60
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:38.000
is being positioned, it is being used with purpose. And

61
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:43.360
when money has purpose, your life starts to gain direction too.

62
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:48.519
And that's what we're going to be really delving into,

63
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:53.399
is your life having a mission and a purpose and

64
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:57.839
your money having a mission and a purpose too. One

65
00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:00.279
of the things we have to talk about, though, to

66
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:02.720
be honest, we've got to be Frank, We've got to

67
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:06.399
be authentic. We've got to be invisible here and tell

68
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:12.000
you everything first. To begin this, we need to stop

69
00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:18.199
the leaking and start building now. Before your money can grow,

70
00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:22.279
you have to stop the leaks. That means, let's be honest.

71
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:27.360
Where's your money going? Have you looked? Have you actually

72
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:31.680
looked to see where is your money going? What habits

73
00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:37.800
are draining your finances? What subscriptions, I know we have

74
00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:43.360
a bunch of those. What subscriptions, spending patterns or debt

75
00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:49.879
payments are quietly stealing your future. This is not about shame.

76
00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:55.519
This is about awareness because you cannot change what you

77
00:05:55.639 --> 00:06:00.879
refuse to face. And I last week I talked about

78
00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:05.319
the relationship with money. I talked about money is more

79
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:09.519
than math. Yes, there's a practical side. You have bills

80
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:14.000
to pay, you have expenses to take care of. But

81
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:18.439
you also have an emotional side to money and that

82
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:23.959
comes from maybe your childhood or things that have occurred

83
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:27.839
in your life, maybe some trauma, different things that have happened.

84
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:32.959
And then there's a psychological layer of money where it

85
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:39.120
really affects you emotionally but psychologically, so that the decisions

86
00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:44.399
that you are making it's based on a perception or

87
00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:50.360
a perspective that is being affected by circumstances in your life,

88
00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:55.279
things that you have said to yourself. And so to

89
00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:58.920
find out more about just that, go back, look at

90
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:02.959
a sharp outlook, go to the website and look at

91
00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:08.720
the previous show that was there and watch it. It's

92
00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:13.199
called Money is More Than Math. Last week we talked

93
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:16.480
about setting up a budget, and that's one of the

94
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:20.000
first things to be able to set your money on

95
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:23.120
a mission is to set a budget so you can

96
00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:26.079
design how money is going to be using where it's

97
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:29.160
going to go. Because when you set up a budget,

98
00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:34.519
the budget's going to say I'm taking control back. The

99
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:38.199
budget says my paycheck will not disappear without a plan.

100
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:43.040
A budget says I may not have everything I want today,

101
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:50.040
but I'm building towards something bigger. And then there's the debt,

102
00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:55.120
especially high interest debt your credit cards. That kind of

103
00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:58.759
debt can keep people trapped for years. It takes your

104
00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:04.480
hard earned money and turns it into profit for somebody else.

105
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:07.079
So if you want your money to work for you,

106
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:10.720
one of the first steps is stop stopping money from

107
00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:14.920
constantly working against you. If you have credit cards that

108
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:20.519
have high interest rates. Then try to find other cards

109
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:24.480
that have much lower rates and go in and transfer

110
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:29.360
your balance to a low interest rate credit card. Don't

111
00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:33.120
be fooled by the okie dokes that they say, Oh yes,

112
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:36.320
They just keep giving you higher credit, higher credit, higher credit,

113
00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:39.399
higher credit until you reach a point where you have

114
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:43.279
gotten yourself in a debt situation and they begin to

115
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:47.720
raise your interest rate to keep you there. And all

116
00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:51.759
they do is keep making money. So be aware of

117
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:56.080
the traps that are there out there that can put

118
00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:59.200
you in a situation where you can't get out of

119
00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:04.559
the situation that you're in. It takes your hard earned money,

120
00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:08.200
turns it into somebody profit for somebody else, and so

121
00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:11.240
you want your money to work for you. One of

122
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:14.759
the first steps, like I said, is stopping money from

123
00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:18.879
constantly working against you. And it's not something you're going

124
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:21.120
to be able to do overnight. It's something that's going

125
00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:24.639
to take some time. It's something that you're going to

126
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:28.799
have to work at. And you know what, small steps

127
00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:33.840
still count. Don't be upset because you can't put masses

128
00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:38.960
of money away. Small steps work, and they really are

129
00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:42.919
good as long as you are moving forward. One of

130
00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:47.600
the biggest lies you are told, and you even believe

131
00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:53.120
I'll start when I have more money. No, that's not

132
00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:58.039
what you should do. Start with what you have. Start

133
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:02.960
small if you need to, It doesn't matter. Start, you know,

134
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:08.879
if it's messy. Even if it's messy, just start. Maybe

135
00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:14.799
you're even scared too, but you need to start. You

136
00:10:14.919 --> 00:10:19.159
need to start anyway, because wealth is not only built

137
00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:24.279
by people who had perfect beginnings. It's built by people

138
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:28.679
who made a decision and stayed consistent. That is the

139
00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:33.519
issue of being able to come out of a state

140
00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:38.799
of owing and into a state of owning is because

141
00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:44.200
you start small, just a little amount a week. It's

142
00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:47.360
built by people who made a decision and stayed consistent.

143
00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:50.799
Maybe for you that means saving ten dollars a week,

144
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:55.960
Maybe it means opening the savings account. Maybe it means

145
00:10:56.360 --> 00:11:01.919
finally learning about investing. Know there's a whole lot of

146
00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:06.360
tools out there to be able to study things online

147
00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:11.519
and seeing that they don't provide financial literacy in high

148
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:17.360
school or middle school or definitely not probably you know,

149
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:21.360
first through sixth grade, but in high school. I believe

150
00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:24.960
financial literacy should be one of your major classes that

151
00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:27.519
you take in school so that you can learn. Because

152
00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:32.200
of everything that you learn in school, financial literacy is

153
00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:35.960
a topic that you're going to use for the rest

154
00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:39.519
of your life. So to not know about it is

155
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:44.600
a major injustice to you, to our children, to the

156
00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:48.080
generations to come. And this is why there's so many

157
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:52.600
organizations out there now that are teaching financial literacy, and

158
00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:56.039
sign up to get the class. Don't be ashamed. It

159
00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:59.759
doesn't matter about what age you are or what you're

160
00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:05.360
financial position is. Knowledge is power. Find a class on

161
00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:12.240
financial literacy and learn about money. Learn about banking, learn

162
00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:18.399
about investing, learn about owning assets, but learn the correct way.

163
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:22.919
Do some research. You've got chat, GPT or one of

164
00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:28.039
those AI systems out there, Ask it some questions and

165
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:30.480
it will answer you, and it will give you all

166
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:34.679
the information that you need so that you understand what

167
00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:40.519
you're doing with money. You know you, Like I said before,

168
00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:43.200
even if it's just ten dollars, just think about it.

169
00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:47.840
If you just put ten dollars in a week, by

170
00:12:47.879 --> 00:12:50.639
the end of the year, you have over five hundred

171
00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:56.440
dollars five hundred dollars saved. Think about that over a

172
00:12:56.559 --> 00:13:02.960
number of years. So what I'm saying is the amount

173
00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:09.720
isn't the issue. It's the consistency that is important. Maybe

174
00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:14.279
it means saying no to one more unnecessary expense, one

175
00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:18.639
more subscription, maybe too many of the subscriptions that you have,

176
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:25.039
and say yes to your future. Do not underestimate the

177
00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:30.039
power of a small discipline step repeated over time, small

178
00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:36.759
steps become habits. Habits become systems, and systems are what

179
00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:43.360
change your lives. Try it. I'm telling you it works.

180
00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:49.799
Let time work with you. Now, let's talk about growth.

181
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:54.879
A lot of people save money and saving matters, but

182
00:13:54.960 --> 00:14:00.639
saving by itself is usually not enough to build long

183
00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:03.279
term wealth. And this is what I'm talking about, not

184
00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:05.919
just a little money to spend for a vacation trip.

185
00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:09.399
I'm talking about money that not only is going to

186
00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:13.080
meet all of your needs, but have extra that even

187
00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:18.919
you can invest, you can help someone else. You're building

188
00:14:19.120 --> 00:14:23.840
generational wealth for your children, enough for even your grandchildren

189
00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:26.799
and several generations to come, not so they have an

190
00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:29.960
easy life, but because maybe they don't have to have

191
00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:35.879
as many struggles as you have had. A lot of people,

192
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:38.759
like I said, save money and saving matters, but saving

193
00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:42.080
by itself it's just not enough. You have to learn

194
00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:46.399
how to Like I said, give your money a mission.

195
00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:53.240
Watch that mission, watch that purpose, watch it grow. Watch

196
00:14:53.279 --> 00:14:56.080
what you're investing in. And at some point your money

197
00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:59.600
needs to grow. Then as you're investing, you need to

198
00:14:59.679 --> 00:15:03.600
learn about investing. When you invest, you give money the

199
00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:09.720
chance to multiply. When you invest, the money multiplies. Imagine

200
00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:14.240
that money that you have earned now actually begins earning

201
00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:18.759
for you, and so your money actually starts working for you.

202
00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:22.639
You place it in assets that can grow over time,

203
00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:27.159
and then you know and you're able to go and

204
00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:32.759
invest in that and you get wealth building tools available

205
00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:34.960
to you. This is the time for one of the

206
00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:40.039
greatest wealth building tools available, putting your money into assets.

207
00:15:40.440 --> 00:15:48.279
Because of compound growth, money can build on itself. When

208
00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:53.320
you invest and what you invest in, it's going to earn.

209
00:15:53.919 --> 00:15:58.360
And when it earns, you earn more. You earn more.

210
00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:01.879
And so you look at your account. So you've put

211
00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:05.279
one hundred dollars in there, and now you're looking at it,

212
00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:09.399
it is one hundred and five the five dollars. You

213
00:16:09.559 --> 00:16:16.080
didn't do anything. The money earned it for you, and

214
00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:20.039
as you keep watching it, it keeps growing. And next

215
00:16:20.039 --> 00:16:22.200
thing you know, like I was saying, just putting the

216
00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:26.799
ten dollars in and you have five hundred each each year.

217
00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:31.440
It keeps growing, it keeps multiplying, it keeps making more

218
00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:34.960
money for you. But then you begin to invest in

219
00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:38.080
other things and just having it in a savings account,

220
00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:42.399
and you want to know what you're doing. And as

221
00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:46.200
I said, I'm advising you to take some financial literacy

222
00:16:46.279 --> 00:16:50.759
classes and learn how investments work. Learn how the stock

223
00:16:50.799 --> 00:16:56.559
market works, learn how these everyone's investing in technology and

224
00:16:56.600 --> 00:17:00.519
bitcoins and things. You need to learn how those actually

225
00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:05.759
work before you invest in tools to make money. Because

226
00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:09.880
everything isn't safe. Some things are more risky than what

227
00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:14.839
you are able to handle. So you have to think

228
00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:18.079
about all of those different areas and different things that

229
00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:23.000
are out there. And that's why you know. They always

230
00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:29.839
say waiting, Waiting is expensive. Time is something you can't

231
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:34.440
get back. Waiting is expensive. If you keep saying I'm

232
00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:38.000
waiting until I have more money, that time that you're

233
00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:41.839
waiting you can't get it back, so it's lost time.

234
00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:46.440
And that time that you're waiting, that ten dollars could

235
00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:50.400
have been making money. That ten dollars a week could

236
00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:52.640
have been making money, money that you didn't have to

237
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:59.680
work to get So every year you delay learning and

238
00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:06.200
saying and investing and building, that's time you can't get back.

239
00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:13.000
So no, you do not need to know everything today,

240
00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:15.680
but you do need to stop acting like time will

241
00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:20.359
wait on you, because it won't. Before you know it,

242
00:18:20.519 --> 00:18:24.680
five years has gone by, ten years has gone by,

243
00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:32.680
thirty years has gone by, and you have not reached

244
00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:36.440
any of the goals. You're going to come up to

245
00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:40.160
retirement and not have enough to be able to survive.

246
00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:43.440
Your needs are not going to be able to be met.

247
00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:50.200
You're going to be dependent instead of having independence. So

248
00:18:50.559 --> 00:18:57.920
no delaying another year, another year, another year. It's not good.

249
00:18:58.880 --> 00:19:02.400
Sometime you just have to say no, I need to

250
00:19:02.440 --> 00:19:05.559
do this now. And this is something that I'm talking

251
00:19:05.559 --> 00:19:08.559
to you about. You can't delay because you can't get

252
00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:13.519
that time back. That's one thing about losing time. It's gone.

253
00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:17.319
It's gone. And you say, well, I'll work twice as hard.

254
00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:20.480
That's not going to get you. If you work twice

255
00:19:20.519 --> 00:19:23.160
as hard, look at what you were doing. If you

256
00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:26.880
were investing and working twice as hard now, everything would

257
00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:31.319
have been doubled. So the decision is now. The decision

258
00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:36.920
for my younger listeners that decision is now, so you're

259
00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:39.559
prepared as you get older, and you have a nice

260
00:19:39.720 --> 00:19:43.799
nest egg for your children and your children's children and

261
00:19:43.200 --> 00:19:47.839
on down the line. That's how the wealthy have always

262
00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:51.240
been able to maintain wealth because they learn the laws

263
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:56.799
that help them to maintain their money. They learned the

264
00:19:56.880 --> 00:20:00.039
laws that help them be able to be able to

265
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:03.839
to avoid taxation. They've learned. So there's a lot of

266
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:08.759
knowledge that goes into being able to earn money and

267
00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:13.359
also to keep the money. So I'm advising you to

268
00:20:13.400 --> 00:20:18.079
do a little research and find out a few things

269
00:20:19.039 --> 00:20:22.119
and then make some really good decisions. But I think

270
00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:25.400
you can start out with ten dollars a week. I

271
00:20:25.440 --> 00:20:30.119
think that's avoid I think that's affordable. Start with a

272
00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:34.440
ten and watch it grow and then before you know it,

273
00:20:34.519 --> 00:20:39.160
you get that energy and that drive and that desire

274
00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:44.839
to do more. And one of the other things that's

275
00:20:44.920 --> 00:20:50.359
really important is ownership. Ownership changes a lot. If you

276
00:20:50.440 --> 00:20:53.559
really want to make your money work for you, learn

277
00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:58.640
the power of ownership. Ownership means you have something that

278
00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:03.519
can grow, pay you, or increase in value over time.

279
00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:07.519
That could be investments, as I was mentioning, that could

280
00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:11.599
be real estate that could be a business, investing in

281
00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:15.279
a business, or starting a business. If you're working every

282
00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:19.039
day and you have ideas and you have thoughts, and

283
00:21:19.079 --> 00:21:23.720
you have a goal and a purpose, don't delay going

284
00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:28.599
after your purpose. Don't delay going after your dream, because

285
00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:32.240
that you are investing your energy, you're investing your time,

286
00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:35.000
You're investing your money in something that's going to pay

287
00:21:35.079 --> 00:21:40.119
you later. So it's worth taking the risk. It's worth

288
00:21:40.440 --> 00:21:43.920
going and taking the step. Yes, it's scary, but the

289
00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:49.440
things if you have knowledge behind you, you can avoid

290
00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:52.359
all of the pitfalls, all of the scams, all of

291
00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:56.400
the situations that could cause you not to win in

292
00:21:56.440 --> 00:21:59.160
your business, it cause you not to be able to

293
00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:04.200
go for forward and start going backward. There's too much

294
00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:07.200
information out there for you not to be able to

295
00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:12.400
make decisions and take steps. And in a business that

296
00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:15.359
could be even while you're working on your job, you

297
00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:19.519
have a little side hustle that becomes an asset and

298
00:22:19.519 --> 00:22:22.559
it ends up becoming something that you can actually grow in,

299
00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:26.079
grow into something that makes a lot of money. That

300
00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:29.160
could be something you create once you get paid from it,

301
00:22:30.759 --> 00:22:35.640
and once you create it and you get paid from it,

302
00:22:36.359 --> 00:22:40.279
make sure you get paid from it more than once.

303
00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:46.400
Ownership matters because when you own nothing, you are always paying,

304
00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:53.200
always paying, and someone else is the is getting the benefit.

305
00:22:54.279 --> 00:22:58.839
But when you own assets, you create opportunity to receive,

306
00:23:01.160 --> 00:23:06.680
to gain, and to have more. That is a different

307
00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:09.839
kind of life, and life where not every dollar has

308
00:23:09.880 --> 00:23:14.279
to come from your own labor alone. A life where

309
00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:18.079
your money begins to support you instead of you having

310
00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:21.359
to work harder and harder and harder and more hours

311
00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:24.880
and more hours and more hours to gain money. You

312
00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:28.559
have to start making that money work for you, no

313
00:23:28.640 --> 00:23:33.400
matter how small, it will multiply if you are smart

314
00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:37.359
in your decisions of how you do invest it in

315
00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:41.119
life where your effort today can keep paying off tomorrow.

316
00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:45.240
Who in the world doesn't want that something that you

317
00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:49.000
invest in today and it's going to be continually keep

318
00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:52.319
paying and keep paying and keep paying. We all want

319
00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:56.960
that situation. And you can have that situation by looking

320
00:23:57.079 --> 00:24:04.359
now and starting now and being ready to learn and

321
00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:10.640
do the homework to learn how to do it. If

322
00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:14.839
you're going to be investing in the market, find a

323
00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:18.880
broker that you can trust, develop a relationship with that broker,

324
00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:23.839
almost a friendship where that person's not going to give

325
00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:27.079
you advice that you know is not going to be

326
00:24:27.079 --> 00:24:30.319
good for you. Be honest with them. Don't try to

327
00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:32.440
pretend you got all that in a back of chips.

328
00:24:32.880 --> 00:24:36.079
Be honest with them that it's a risk for you.

329
00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:40.160
So you don't want to take some risk. You only

330
00:24:40.200 --> 00:24:44.200
want minimal risk. You can't handle major risk for the

331
00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:48.799
big payout, because yes, there are losses in those major payouts,

332
00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:52.319
and those are kind of I don't want to say

333
00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:56.119
it like this kind of manage the market. They know

334
00:24:56.240 --> 00:24:58.960
exactly what they're doing when they're driving the prices up

335
00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:03.200
and down and they are getting the payoff and you

336
00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:08.160
are the one that's losing. I want you to be

337
00:25:08.279 --> 00:25:12.119
inspired about what I'm saying, but I need you to

338
00:25:12.119 --> 00:25:17.000
be real. I need you to be really honest. This

339
00:25:17.799 --> 00:25:22.799
message is powerful, but it's not always easy. Some people

340
00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:29.559
are starting from behind, some are carrying debt, some have

341
00:25:29.720 --> 00:25:33.559
trauma in their lives, Some have lower wages, Some have

342
00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:39.240
family pressures and responsibilities that make financial progress harder but

343
00:25:39.440 --> 00:25:44.079
not impossible. So that is not about pretending everybody has

344
00:25:44.119 --> 00:25:47.799
the same opportunities, because they don't. And I'm not even

345
00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:51.359
trying to make it sound like everybody has the same opportunities.

346
00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:56.079
I'm saying that this is an opportunity. It's available, and

347
00:25:56.119 --> 00:26:01.240
that's why you may have to start smaller, but just start.

348
00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:06.400
But even with that truth about some of the other

349
00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:09.480
issues that you might have to confront, there is still

350
00:26:09.599 --> 00:26:12.920
power in learning. As I keep saying, knowledge is power.

351
00:26:13.319 --> 00:26:16.319
Go get as much knowledge as you can. There is

352
00:26:16.400 --> 00:26:21.640
still power in discipline. There is still power in making

353
00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:25.759
one better decision of a better decision, one at a time.

354
00:26:27.359 --> 00:26:29.839
You may not be able to change everything overnight. You're

355
00:26:29.839 --> 00:26:32.359
not expected to change it overnight. You didn't get where

356
00:26:32.400 --> 00:26:36.839
you are overnight, so you can't expect to now suddenly

357
00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:42.359
just have this, you know, whole bucket full of money

358
00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:45.240
just falling out the sky for you. You're going to

359
00:26:45.319 --> 00:26:49.640
have to take baby steps, but you know what, pretty

360
00:26:49.640 --> 00:26:53.839
soon you're going to be running. And that's what I'm

361
00:26:53.839 --> 00:26:57.880
trying to encourage you to do. And like I said,

362
00:26:58.000 --> 00:27:01.920
you still have the power of discipline. Look at yourself,

363
00:27:02.359 --> 00:27:09.240
see why you're spending. Emotional spending can be devastating, So

364
00:27:09.440 --> 00:27:14.079
look at what you're buying. Why are you buying it?

365
00:27:14.119 --> 00:27:18.799
Is it an emotional purchase or is it a necessity?

366
00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:22.039
Those kinds of things. When you want to invest, you

367
00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:26.160
have to make decisions and choices that I want my

368
00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:30.039
money working for me instead of buying a new pocketbook

369
00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:32.960
or buying some new shoes. When you have a whole

370
00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:37.359
wardrobe full of it, you have to make decisions that

371
00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:39.880
now is a time for me to start setting myself

372
00:27:39.960 --> 00:27:43.359
up for the future and doing the things that I

373
00:27:43.440 --> 00:27:48.519
need to make suit that future be very very comfortable.

374
00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:55.960
Close you know, I'm going to kind of start giving

375
00:27:55.960 --> 00:27:58.759
you some information of what it is that you need

376
00:27:58.799 --> 00:28:01.319
to do to make sure that you can be a

377
00:28:01.400 --> 00:28:05.839
part of what everyone else that has money has enjoyed.

378
00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:12.119
Your money should not only come and go. In other words,

379
00:28:12.240 --> 00:28:15.319
it flows through your hands and goes out the door

380
00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:23.759
to some creditor, some bill, some expense, and in fact

381
00:28:23.759 --> 00:28:26.119
it's flying through your hands so quickly you don't even

382
00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:31.079
get to even touch it. It's just too gone. And

383
00:28:31.119 --> 00:28:33.400
you need to be able to know what your money

384
00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:35.559
is doing. I keep saying over and over. If you

385
00:28:35.640 --> 00:28:38.119
put a budget down, you know where the money is going,

386
00:28:38.559 --> 00:28:42.160
and you know when you're going to have extra or

387
00:28:42.160 --> 00:28:46.279
what you need to do to have extra funds, so

388
00:28:46.319 --> 00:28:51.839
that you can begin starting saving some money and gaining

389
00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:55.240
some wealth so that you can be part of the investors.

390
00:28:55.319 --> 00:28:57.839
You can be part of the team that's going out there,

391
00:28:58.839 --> 00:29:02.480
being involved in some of the new products that are

392
00:29:02.519 --> 00:29:07.519
out there that's going out there, able to invest in

393
00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:12.960
some real estate, or invest in new businesses that are

394
00:29:13.000 --> 00:29:16.640
out there that are growing and going to turn profits

395
00:29:16.920 --> 00:29:21.920
down the line. So your money should not only come

396
00:29:21.960 --> 00:29:28.599
and go. It should serve you understand. It should be

397
00:29:28.680 --> 00:29:33.880
working for you. It should be bringing something back to you.

398
00:29:34.759 --> 00:29:39.960
It should be protecting you. It should be growing, and

399
00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:47.960
one day it should pay you back with interest. Think

400
00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:53.039
of money as someone you're putting on a job. You've

401
00:29:53.079 --> 00:29:57.000
given it an assignment, you've given it work to do,

402
00:29:57.720 --> 00:30:01.599
and your expectation is it's going to work for you

403
00:30:01.680 --> 00:30:05.119
and it's going to bring back not only what you

404
00:30:05.400 --> 00:30:09.799
gave it, but it's going to bring back with that

405
00:30:10.839 --> 00:30:15.319
and interest. It should be doubling. It should be tripling

406
00:30:15.839 --> 00:30:20.079
because as it stays invested and because of the time

407
00:30:20.200 --> 00:30:26.440
that's involved, it is going to multiply. It should be multiplying,

408
00:30:27.319 --> 00:30:33.839
not subtracting, not dividing. It should be multiplying. You work

409
00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:38.839
too hard, I mean too hard. We spend a lot

410
00:30:38.960 --> 00:30:43.920
of time working in an environment or an employer, or

411
00:30:44.000 --> 00:30:46.440
even if it's your own business. You put in a

412
00:30:46.440 --> 00:30:52.759
lot of hours to have nothing building in your favor.

413
00:30:53.759 --> 00:30:57.839
You work too hard not to have something growing in

414
00:30:57.920 --> 00:31:06.160
your favor. Deserve more and just survival. You deserve stability,

415
00:31:08.039 --> 00:31:10.599
You deserve options. That was one of the things I

416
00:31:10.640 --> 00:31:16.240
always used to tell people. Knowledge is power and what

417
00:31:16.359 --> 00:31:21.039
it does more than anything, knowledge and education and all

418
00:31:21.079 --> 00:31:24.240
the things that you need to learn. Knowledge is power,

419
00:31:25.039 --> 00:31:32.160
and it gives you choices, and it also gives you peace,

420
00:31:32.759 --> 00:31:37.480
and you deserve peace. You deserve the kind of future

421
00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:41.720
that gets built when you stop letting every dollar leave

422
00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:46.240
empty handed. When that dollar goes out, it ought to

423
00:31:46.279 --> 00:31:48.640
be making some money for you and bringing something back,

424
00:31:49.319 --> 00:31:55.279
not going out the door and nothing. So start with

425
00:31:55.359 --> 00:32:01.039
what you have, Start where you are, art before you

426
00:32:01.119 --> 00:32:04.359
feel ready. Everybody's saying I'm gonna wait till them if

427
00:32:04.440 --> 00:32:06.440
I once I start making this amount of money, I'll

428
00:32:06.480 --> 00:32:10.680
start saving once I start time. I keep saying time

429
00:32:10.799 --> 00:32:14.319
is something you can't give back. Do not delay, start small,

430
00:32:14.640 --> 00:32:21.480
but start, start before you feel ready. Because the goal

431
00:32:21.559 --> 00:32:25.119
is not to look rich. The goal is to get rich.

432
00:32:25.920 --> 00:32:30.279
Let's stop pretending, stop buying pack of books and shoes

433
00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:35.079
and cars and suits and all of these different things

434
00:32:35.359 --> 00:32:38.359
to make yourself look apart. And I know there's this

435
00:32:38.440 --> 00:32:42.359
whole little phrase out there. You know, I've got to

436
00:32:42.400 --> 00:32:45.359
look the part you. You got to you gotta look

437
00:32:47.960 --> 00:32:54.359
to the point where you are not overspending and living

438
00:32:55.960 --> 00:33:00.799
an inauthentic life. Make it work for you so you

439
00:33:00.839 --> 00:33:04.960
don't have to pretend. You'll have to pretend you have money.

440
00:33:06.039 --> 00:33:09.480
Invest and you'll have money, and then there's no more pretense.

441
00:33:09.960 --> 00:33:14.400
There's nothing worse than pretending when you could be authentic.

442
00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:21.279
The goal is to build real freedom, and freedom starts

443
00:33:21.279 --> 00:33:24.200
when your money finally gets to work on the job

444
00:33:24.279 --> 00:33:30.880
of multiplying money. Money making money is your mission. That's

445
00:33:30.960 --> 00:33:34.599
your sentence for today. Money making money is your mission.

446
00:33:35.319 --> 00:33:39.079
I wish I could wrap I do a little rap

447
00:33:39.160 --> 00:33:43.720
song about money is your mission. Money making money is

448
00:33:43.759 --> 00:33:50.359
your mission. That's what I need you to know. I

449
00:33:50.440 --> 00:33:56.319
know if you have maybe had the education, had the knowledge,

450
00:33:56.359 --> 00:34:01.200
and you've been investing, that's great. We all know someone

451
00:34:01.960 --> 00:34:08.559
who financially is in a precarious situation. So I definitely

452
00:34:09.199 --> 00:34:13.159
want you to be sure to share this information with

453
00:34:13.280 --> 00:34:18.039
somebody who's ready to break old money cycles and build

454
00:34:18.119 --> 00:34:24.639
something better. And there's a few questions I want you

455
00:34:24.679 --> 00:34:30.119
to ask yourself today. What is one thing I can

456
00:34:30.159 --> 00:34:34.480
do this week to make my money work harder for

457
00:34:34.599 --> 00:34:40.840
my future than it does for my present. Okay, here's

458
00:34:40.880 --> 00:34:45.159
some things to think about. Keep in mind, every dollar

459
00:34:45.239 --> 00:34:49.360
needs a mission and a purpose. Start thinking about the

460
00:34:49.400 --> 00:34:52.280
mission and the purpose that you wanted to have. Where

461
00:34:52.440 --> 00:34:56.159
can you put your money to have it make more money?

462
00:34:57.199 --> 00:35:02.440
Stop letting your money leave without a perner. You don't

463
00:35:02.480 --> 00:35:07.119
have to start big, as I've explained before, but you

464
00:35:07.199 --> 00:35:12.760
have to start on purpose. You have to start on purpose.

465
00:35:12.920 --> 00:35:16.440
You have to set the purpose yourself. I want to

466
00:35:16.480 --> 00:35:20.519
start having my money make money. I want to start

467
00:35:20.800 --> 00:35:25.119
having a situation where I have freedom now and I'm

468
00:35:25.159 --> 00:35:29.039
not always paying out money for bills and I'm always

469
00:35:29.039 --> 00:35:31.719
in a point of lack. I want to have that

470
00:35:31.880 --> 00:35:40.280
peace of mind. Your paycheck should not only maintain your life,

471
00:35:41.079 --> 00:35:46.719
it should build your future. While you're earning, Investing helps

472
00:35:46.760 --> 00:35:51.039
you to build a future so that you're not always

473
00:35:51.159 --> 00:35:57.119
just depending on a paycheck. Economies rise and they fall.

474
00:35:58.559 --> 00:36:02.079
We end up with recessions. People start getting laid off.

475
00:36:03.039 --> 00:36:07.239
They don't have a nest egg. They don't have resources,

476
00:36:07.639 --> 00:36:11.719
so then they begin losing all of their assets because

477
00:36:12.320 --> 00:36:15.960
they are their debt level is such that they don't

478
00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:20.880
have any spare. We don't put yourself in that situation.

479
00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:25.719
Be honest with yourself, Be honest with your dollars and

480
00:36:26.639 --> 00:36:30.880
those dollars. As I said before, start out small. Just

481
00:36:31.039 --> 00:36:35.119
get in the habit of investing, and you will continue

482
00:36:35.119 --> 00:36:38.880
it for the rest of your life. The goal is

483
00:36:38.960 --> 00:36:44.480
not just income. The goal is ownership. The goal is

484
00:36:44.679 --> 00:36:50.079
having peace of mind. The goal is generational wealth, so

485
00:36:50.159 --> 00:36:55.400
that not only do you have, but there's enough for

486
00:36:55.800 --> 00:37:00.079
your children and your children's children and on down the line.

487
00:37:00.599 --> 00:37:02.719
One of the things that I would definitely want to

488
00:37:02.760 --> 00:37:05.920
mention is whatever it is that you get involved in,

489
00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:09.239
whatever the vehicle, whatever the tool, whether it be like

490
00:37:09.280 --> 00:37:11.519
I said, the stock market, whether it be if you're

491
00:37:11.559 --> 00:37:15.760
getting new credit cards. One thing I want you to do,

492
00:37:15.840 --> 00:37:18.559
if you don't do anything else or you don't hear

493
00:37:18.639 --> 00:37:24.639
anything else today, stop ignoring the small print on the

494
00:37:24.679 --> 00:37:30.000
documents that you sign. Read the small print, because there

495
00:37:30.239 --> 00:37:33.320
is where it's going to tell you exactly what they're

496
00:37:33.360 --> 00:37:36.639
going to be doing. If they're going to be raising

497
00:37:36.679 --> 00:37:40.920
your interest rates. Yeah, they offer you you this wonderful rate,

498
00:37:41.199 --> 00:37:44.679
but did you look to see when it is going

499
00:37:44.760 --> 00:37:48.599
to change and when they're going to increase that interest

500
00:37:48.679 --> 00:37:51.559
rate on those credit cards. When you look at the

501
00:37:52.760 --> 00:37:56.119
stock market and you're looking at the businesses that you're

502
00:37:56.159 --> 00:38:00.559
investing in, or you're listening to your broker, find out

503
00:38:01.159 --> 00:38:04.280
what has been the trend for this company, what as

504
00:38:04.440 --> 00:38:09.480
the conversations out there about what this company's planning to

505
00:38:09.519 --> 00:38:12.480
do in the future, So that you don't get caught

506
00:38:12.599 --> 00:38:17.119
in a situation where they know they're getting ready to

507
00:38:17.159 --> 00:38:19.519
go under, or they're getting ready to find bankruptcy, or

508
00:38:19.519 --> 00:38:23.960
they're getting ready to be bought by another company, but

509
00:38:24.320 --> 00:38:27.599
they did not make it available for you to benefit

510
00:38:27.960 --> 00:38:32.280
from that sale. So always read the fine print. And

511
00:38:32.320 --> 00:38:35.880
as I mentioned before, be sure that you go out

512
00:38:35.960 --> 00:38:40.119
and take financial literacy classes so that you can learn

513
00:38:40.159 --> 00:38:43.519
about all these different tools. There's so much stuff out

514
00:38:43.559 --> 00:38:46.800
there in social media, so much stuff that they're showing.

515
00:38:47.239 --> 00:38:51.079
I mean, I get hundreds of emails about this investment,

516
00:38:51.119 --> 00:38:53.880
this investment. You have to learn how to hit the

517
00:38:53.920 --> 00:38:58.119
delete button because everything is not good. Everything is not

518
00:38:58.840 --> 00:39:04.559
something you should invest in. Don't do emotional spending and

519
00:39:04.760 --> 00:39:10.559
don't do emotional investing. They go out and you hear

520
00:39:10.639 --> 00:39:15.760
a lot of talk, and you'll see a lot of articles,

521
00:39:15.840 --> 00:39:20.599
and you see a lot of conversations on TV or

522
00:39:20.639 --> 00:39:23.679
in social media about this company and they're doing this,

523
00:39:23.800 --> 00:39:27.599
and they're doing it, and they're hyping up, getting your

524
00:39:27.599 --> 00:39:33.920
emotions to going so that you do emotional investing. And

525
00:39:34.079 --> 00:39:39.039
before that money even gets out of your hands, they've

526
00:39:39.079 --> 00:39:45.119
already made a decision and the next minute the price

527
00:39:45.239 --> 00:39:50.039
is dropped, and guess who lost. You did because you

528
00:39:50.679 --> 00:39:54.440
joined too late. You did it emotionally, because you got

529
00:39:54.480 --> 00:39:57.280
all hyped up about what they were talking about, and

530
00:39:57.400 --> 00:40:00.960
they had already set the plan that once you invested

531
00:40:01.119 --> 00:40:03.760
your dollars, and they know a lot of people do

532
00:40:03.840 --> 00:40:07.960
emotional investing and that you don't know exactly what you're doing.

533
00:40:08.599 --> 00:40:11.599
Then they go in and make a move and all

534
00:40:11.639 --> 00:40:15.119
of a sudden, the price drops. So guess what They

535
00:40:15.159 --> 00:40:18.280
went and traded and sucked out all the money before

536
00:40:18.400 --> 00:40:22.800
you had an opportunity to benefit. You were just the

537
00:40:23.039 --> 00:40:26.960
resource they used to gain the profits they were looking for.

538
00:40:27.760 --> 00:40:30.599
Be sure you know what you're doing, and if you

539
00:40:30.719 --> 00:40:35.159
don't take time to learn it, take time to learn it.

540
00:40:35.400 --> 00:40:38.079
I want you to educate yourself. That's one of the

541
00:40:38.079 --> 00:40:41.719
things I always tell you is to get informs so

542
00:40:41.800 --> 00:40:46.199
that you know what you're doing and you don't get

543
00:40:46.239 --> 00:40:51.480
caught and become one of the people that gets taken

544
00:40:51.480 --> 00:40:58.239
advantage of in one of these investment schemes. One of

545
00:40:58.280 --> 00:41:00.599
the things, like I said, I want you to think about,

546
00:41:01.440 --> 00:41:04.800
do it small. Start small. You don't have to have

547
00:41:04.840 --> 00:41:07.840
a lot of money, but make your money do something

548
00:41:07.880 --> 00:41:14.400
other than just make other people wealthy. Start looking at

549
00:41:14.400 --> 00:41:16.800
like I said, looking at your budget, looking at how

550
00:41:16.840 --> 00:41:20.480
you're spending, and go ahead and start doing some things

551
00:41:20.519 --> 00:41:24.760
that are going to make things better for you. But

552
00:41:24.880 --> 00:41:30.159
start now, because, as I said in my podcast last week,

553
00:41:30.679 --> 00:41:35.199
money is a resource. That's all it is. And since

554
00:41:35.239 --> 00:41:38.159
it's a resource that is able to go out and

555
00:41:38.199 --> 00:41:45.039
bring in more resources, then you're not utilizing it. The

556
00:41:45.119 --> 00:41:48.440
way it was designed to be used is to be

557
00:41:48.679 --> 00:41:55.199
used to increase you. So use it for that purpose.

558
00:41:56.079 --> 00:42:02.559
Not emotional spending, not buying outside of your ability to pay,

559
00:42:03.199 --> 00:42:05.840
or buying things because you want to look a certain

560
00:42:05.880 --> 00:42:11.039
way and it's unaffordable and here you are paying for

561
00:42:11.239 --> 00:42:16.800
taking you like a year to pay for it. Let

562
00:42:16.880 --> 00:42:23.000
me tell you a secret. Nobody really cares. So fix

563
00:42:23.079 --> 00:42:27.880
the emotional pain and hurt and emptiness that is inside

564
00:42:27.920 --> 00:42:32.239
of you that causes you to buy things that are

565
00:42:32.679 --> 00:42:37.159
not affordable to make you have a certain feeling. That

566
00:42:37.280 --> 00:42:43.760
is emotional spending. And that's when money is dangerous and

567
00:42:43.800 --> 00:42:47.239
you can lose it very quickly, and you get this

568
00:42:48.000 --> 00:42:51.000
emotional high just for a second, and you know what,

569
00:42:51.599 --> 00:42:56.360
then when the bills come in, sh that emotional high

570
00:42:56.519 --> 00:42:59.719
just dropped through the floor. And now you have to

571
00:42:59.719 --> 00:43:03.440
deal with paying the bills for something that only made

572
00:43:03.480 --> 00:43:08.800
you feel good for a moment. Investing your money and

573
00:43:08.880 --> 00:43:12.400
watching it grow is something that makes you feel good

574
00:43:12.920 --> 00:43:19.199
for years and years and years and years and more years. Now,

575
00:43:19.199 --> 00:43:22.079
wouldn't you like that when you like to have that

576
00:43:22.199 --> 00:43:25.320
peace of mind? Wouldn't you like to have that steadiness

577
00:43:25.599 --> 00:43:31.519
and that security and that stability. You don't need a

578
00:43:31.519 --> 00:43:35.119
new outfit, You got plenty of them in the closet.

579
00:43:35.119 --> 00:43:41.239
And like I said, nobody really cares. You know, don't

580
00:43:41.239 --> 00:43:46.920
do emotional spending. Don't do spending because you're angry, Don't

581
00:43:46.920 --> 00:43:57.199
do spending because you're feeling unhappy. Fix the problem inside,

582
00:43:58.559 --> 00:44:04.239
deal with what's emotion affecting you before you ever pick

583
00:44:04.320 --> 00:44:10.360
up your wallet, because you are getting ready to make

584
00:44:10.840 --> 00:44:16.280
a mistake. Pick your wallet up when you see something

585
00:44:16.320 --> 00:44:19.800
that's worthwhile to invest and you see the return on

586
00:44:19.880 --> 00:44:23.719
that investment, and you look at the possibilities and the

587
00:44:23.760 --> 00:44:27.360
potential of what it can do, then you are thinking

588
00:44:27.679 --> 00:44:31.199
about what money is supposed to really be for. It's

589
00:44:31.320 --> 00:44:35.719
for growth, it's for multiplying. It's for being able to

590
00:44:35.800 --> 00:44:41.159
multiply over and over and over. And the way it works,

591
00:44:41.360 --> 00:44:46.880
it just keeps growing and it never stops growing and

592
00:44:46.920 --> 00:44:51.679
it continues to grow. And so then you're just end

593
00:44:51.800 --> 00:44:54.639
up having so much. You're only spending just the interest

594
00:44:54.679 --> 00:44:57.679
that you earn, not the investments that you're putting in.

595
00:44:58.480 --> 00:45:01.440
So give your money a chance as to do what

596
00:45:01.559 --> 00:45:07.239
it's supposed to do. Work hard, multiply and make the

597
00:45:07.280 --> 00:45:12.199
future for you, building a future for you. And one

598
00:45:12.239 --> 00:45:14.519
of the things I want to say that is really important,

599
00:45:15.920 --> 00:45:22.039
stop putting it off, don't delay any longer. Start now,

600
00:45:22.960 --> 00:45:25.960
get that ten dollars out and put it away somewhere

601
00:45:27.880 --> 00:45:32.599
and let it start growing. Ten dollars a week, ten

602
00:45:32.679 --> 00:45:36.280
dollars a week. It doesn't have to be a lot.

603
00:45:37.440 --> 00:45:41.679
And you have it and you can do it. Start

604
00:45:41.760 --> 00:45:46.639
where you are and start with what you have and

605
00:45:46.719 --> 00:45:50.880
make it happen, and watch it grow and watch it

606
00:45:50.920 --> 00:45:54.480
be everything that it needs to be. But whatever you do,

607
00:45:54.800 --> 00:46:01.480
understand that money needs a mission. You need to decide

608
00:46:01.639 --> 00:46:04.719
what is the mission you want to invest in to

609
00:46:04.840 --> 00:46:08.719
see your money grow and become more than you ever

610
00:46:08.800 --> 00:46:12.760
could have imagined. I think about and I made a mistake.

611
00:46:12.960 --> 00:46:17.159
I think about when micro Microsoft first started and the

612
00:46:17.199 --> 00:46:22.119
personal computers first came out, and everyone was starting to

613
00:46:22.119 --> 00:46:26.239
invest in that stock and silling me. I didn't invest

614
00:46:26.280 --> 00:46:29.199
because I had just determined, no one's going to want

615
00:46:29.760 --> 00:46:33.079
those personal computers because we had those huge mainframes and

616
00:46:33.119 --> 00:46:35.360
that's the way it was always done, and so it

617
00:46:35.400 --> 00:46:37.719
wasn't going to change. So I wasn't going to invest.

618
00:46:38.039 --> 00:46:40.440
And then I forgot about it. And oh my goodness,

619
00:46:41.039 --> 00:46:44.400
when that stock doubled and it doubled and it doubled,

620
00:46:45.400 --> 00:46:48.960
and it just kept doing what it's supposed to be doing, multiplying.

621
00:46:49.320 --> 00:46:53.159
These people who started with the first investment walked away

622
00:46:53.159 --> 00:47:00.039
with millions. It's too late for me to look. I

623
00:47:00.119 --> 00:47:03.400
get that now, but I only made that mistake once.

624
00:47:06.440 --> 00:47:10.639
When you make a mistake, and not take advantage. And

625
00:47:10.679 --> 00:47:13.000
it wasn't even it was a small investment at that

626
00:47:14.280 --> 00:47:19.440
and you missed that opportunity. You miss it, And that

627
00:47:19.519 --> 00:47:24.159
means that was security, that was stability, That was peace

628
00:47:24.159 --> 00:47:27.239
of mind that I didn't have for a long period

629
00:47:27.239 --> 00:47:31.480
of time because I didn't take the step and always

630
00:47:31.519 --> 00:47:35.920
kept saying, oh later when I start earning this, never

631
00:47:36.000 --> 00:47:39.639
put off for tomorrow what you can do today? And

632
00:47:39.679 --> 00:47:43.639
I think you can start now with a small investment

633
00:47:44.119 --> 00:47:50.480
and watch your money grow. I really appreciate you tuning

634
00:47:50.519 --> 00:47:54.719

00:49:36.119 --> 00:49:39.440
all that you can be. But the one thing that

657
00:49:39.480 --> 00:49:43.199
you have to have to do all of those things,

658
00:49:43.320 --> 00:49:46.960
you have to have information. You have to have knowledge

659
00:49:47.519 --> 00:49:57.000
its power. So whatever you do, stay informed. I want
