All right, so we're gonna dive deep into this
Money Revealed 2020 series that you've put together here.
And I know that you are looking for
the most impactful takeaways from this series,
so you can kind of make some moves.
And I know that you've got some big goals
in terms of financial independence,
and this series covers everything from smart investing
to building a successful business,
even planning for the future.
Yeah, you know what's interesting?
Is it really brings together experts
who each have their own kind of unique approach.
But it all kind of ties into like this cohesive picture
of what it takes to build wealth.
Yeah, absolutely.
And first up is Robert Kiyosaki.
He's kind of a legend.
Rich dad, poor dad.
You know, the one who kind of blew everybody's mind
by saying that debt isn't always the enemy.
That's right.
He totally flips the script on how we think about debt.
Instead of this scary monster lurking in the shadows,
he shows how you can make it work for you.
Exactly, like remember how he talks about using debt
to snatch up these income generating assets.
Yeah.
You're not just drowning in payments.
You're using it to build a cash flowing machine.
Yes.
And actually one of the speakers
talked about how they took that idea and ran with it,
invested in a rental property and watched the cash flow in.
Oh wow, yeah.
Kind of like a real life,
rich dad, poor dad success story.
Yeah, it just shows you that a little bit of strategic risk,
you know, guided by the right advice
can lead to massive rewards.
Totally.
All right, let's jump from real estate to the stock market.
And specifically a strategy that can seem a little intimidating,
but is actually really powerful
once you get the hang of it, covered calls.
And our guide here is Andy Tanner.
Yeah.
And he breaks it down in a way
that even I could understand.
What's cool about covered calls is you're making money
from stocks that you already own.
Right.
It's like renting out your stocks for a premium.
I like that.
Yeah, someone pays you for the option
to buy them at a set price.
Yeah.
And if the stock doesn't hit that price,
you keep the cash and your stock.
Yeah.
And one of the speakers actually implemented this
and they were blown away by how much it stabilized
their portfolio.
Oh nice.
They said it felt like a weight had been lifted
knowing they had this extra layer of protection.
That's awesome.
Yeah, it's like having your cake and eating it too.
Yeah.
You know, you potentially get the upside of the stock growth.
Yeah.
Plus this steady income stream from the options.
Okay, now for something a little different,
retirement planning, I'll be honest,
when Doug Andrews started talking about
indexed universal life insurance or IULs,
it was like, wait, what insurance for retirement?
Right.
But the more he explained it, the more it made sense.
You know, it's definitely not your typical 401k or IRA.
Right.
But what Andrew highlights is how IULs can offer
this unique combination of tax advantages
and protection from market crashes.
Which is a pretty big deal.
Huge, especially when you're thinking about your nest egg.
One of the speakers said that incorporating an IUL
into their plan gave them this incredible peace of mind
knowing that their retirement savings
had this extra layer of security
even if the market went haywire.
Yeah, that's great.
It just goes to show that there isn't a one size fits all
solution when it comes to financial planning.
Right.
You know, it's all about finding the tools
and strategies that align with your specific goals
and risk tolerance.
All right, let's shift gears now to long-term investing.
I used to be all about chasing the latest hot stock tip.
But then I heard Adam Baratta talk about the power
of playing the long game and it totally changed my perspective.
Yeah, Baratta is all about building a portfolio
that's built to last.
You have one that can weather those inevitable market storms.
Yeah.
And he emphasizes diversification.
You know, not putting all your eggs in one basket.
Right.
And thinking in terms of decades, not just days or weeks.
He also talks about incorporating precious metals
like gold into your portfolio.
I used to think of gold as something pirates buried
on a deserted island.
But Baratta makes a really compelling case
for its role as a stabilizer,
especially during times of economic uncertainty.
Yeah, you know, it's like an insurance policy
for your portfolio.
Right, right.
You know, when things get rocky,
gold tends to hold its value.
Yeah.
Providing a much needed counterbalance
to the volatility of other assets.
One of the speakers mentioned how they were initially
hesitant about precious metals,
but then saw firsthand how they helped protect
their investments during a really turbulent period.
Right.
It's like having a safe haven for your money
when the storm hits.
Okay.
Are you ready to dive into the world of entrepreneurship?
I'm ready.
Because Kevin Harrington, the Shark Tank guru himself,
is about to drop some serious knowledge bombs.
Yeah, he doesn't hold back.
No, he doesn't.
Harrington goes straight to the heart
of what it takes to build a successful business.
Right.
A killer pitch and a laser-focused marketing strategy.
You know, it's not enough to just have
a great product or service.
You have to know how to sell it.
And one of the speakers took Harrington's advice to heart,
completely revamped their entire approach.
They really dug deep into understanding
their target market, crafting their message,
refining their online presence,
and the results, client engagement skyrocketed.
Yeah.
Their business took off like a rocket.
It's amazing.
It's a testament to the power of clarity and focus.
Yeah.
When you know exactly who you're talking to
and what message resonates with them, everything changes.
Speaking of changing things up,
let's talk about the gig economy.
Remember when it was just about side hustles?
Yeah.
Well, Brian Page is here to tell us,
it's a whole lot more than that.
Right.
Page shows us that the gig economy is a legitimate avenue
for building a thriving income stream.
Maybe even ditching the traditional nine to five
all together.
Yeah.
You know?
Wow.
Averaging platforms like Upwork and Fiverr.
Right.
Crafting your personal brand and finding your niche
in this ever-expanding world of freelance work.
One of the speakers shared their initial hesitation
about taking the plunge into freelancing.
They were used to the stability of a real job,
quote unquote, but they took the leap,
embraced Page's advice, and haven't looked back.
They found freedom, flexibility, and here's the best part,
the potential to earn way more than they ever could
in their old job.
That's awesome.
It's a powerful example of how embracing change
and new ways of working can lead to,
not just financial gain, but also a whole new level
of personal and professional fulfillment.
All right.
So we all know that the road to financial success
isn't always smooth sailing, right?
There are bumps in the road, unexpected detours,
maybe even a flat tire or two.
Oh yeah, for sure.
And that's where John Maxwell comes in,
sharing his wisdom on leading through tough times.
Yeah.
Max Gore reminds us that even when things get rough,
you know, it's crucial to keep your eyes on the prize.
Yeah.
He stresses the importance of staying positive,
focusing on your long-term goals.
And this is key, fostering a resilient mindset,
both personally and within your team, if you've got one.
One of the speakers shared how they used Maxwell's principles
to steer their business through a particularly stormy period.
And instead of panicking, they focused on boosting morale,
staying optimistic, and remembering their why.
And guess what?
They came out the other side stronger than ever.
That's great, yeah.
That proof that a positive mindset and strong leadership
are like superpowers, you know, when
it comes to navigating challenges.
Totally.
They turn obstacles into opportunities
for growth and learning.
All right, let's talk about taking things
to the next level, scaling your business.
Vern Harnish is our expert here.
And he gets down to the nitty-gritty of optimizing
operations and using technology to fuel sustainable growth.
You know, Harnish really emphasizes
the importance of investing in systems and technologies.
They can help you streamline processes
and boost efficiency.
Yeah.
Think automation data analysis and strategic planning,
all the tools you need to build a business that
can truly scale and stand a test of time.
One speaker decided to put Harnish's advice into action
and implemented a brand new project management system.
And it revolutionized their team's workflow communication,
went through the roof, and they saw a massive jump
in productivity.
Wow, yeah, it shows how the right technology can
be a game changer, not just for big corporations,
but for businesses of all sizes.
You know, it frees up time, energy, and resources,
allowing you to focus on what truly matters, growth,
and innovation.
All right, now let's face it, nobody loves paying taxes, right?
But they're a fact of life.
And Tom Wheelwright is here to help us make the most of it,
or at least minimize the pain through strategic tax planning.
Right.
Wheelwright stresses that understanding tax laws
and leveraging deductions can legally reduce your tax burden.
Yeah.
He's all about exploring tax-efficient investments
and planning strategically to optimize your overall financial
picture.
One of the speakers dove headfirst
into Wheelwright's strategies and was
amazed by how much money they saved come tax season.
They specifically mentioned investing in tax-advantaged
accounts, which made a huge difference in their bottom line.
Yeah, that's awesome.
You know, it's a fantastic example
of how a little bit of knowledge and planning
can go a long way.
For sure.
By understanding the rules of the game,
we can keep more of our harder money
and make our finances work harder for us.
Now let's talk about something a little more personal,
legacy planning.
It might not be the most exciting topic,
but Chris Hogan makes a powerful case
for why it's so important to think about the impact we want
to make even after we're gone.
Right.
Hogan encourages us to think beyond our own lifetimes.
Yeah.
And consider how we want our financial resources
to benefit our families and the causes we care about.
It's about creating a financial legacy
that reflects our values and ensures our loved ones
are taken care of even when we're no longer around.
One speaker was so moved by Hogan's message
that they completely revised their estate plan.
They decided to incorporate charitable giving,
making sure that a portion of their wealth would
continue to support causes they believed in long
after they were gone.
It added this whole new layer of meaning and purpose
to their financial planning.
It's beautiful.
Yeah.
It's a beautiful example of how financial planning can
be about so much more than just numbers.
You know, it can be a way to express our values,
make a difference in the world, and ensure our legacy lives on.
OK.
We're getting close to the finish line here,
but we got a few more experts to cover.
Next up is Brandon Dawson sharing his wisdom
on small business growth.
He's all about the power of building a killer team
and putting your customers first.
Right.
Dawson believes that a strong team
is the backbone of any thriving business.
Yeah.
You know, he also emphasizes the importance
of building strong relationships with your customers,
arguing that loyal customers are the lifeblood
of any successful enterprise.
One of the speakers took Dawson's advice to heart
and made a conscious effort to elevate their customer service
game.
They went above and beyond for their clients,
exceeding expectations at every turn.
And guess what?
Customer satisfaction and loyalty
soared, leading to more business and stronger relationships.
That's great.
Yeah.
It's a brilliant reminder that in today's hyper competitive
world, outstanding customer service
can be a major differentiator.
When you create an experience that people rave about,
they keep coming back for more and they tell their friends.
All right.
We're onto our final expert in this financial marathon.
And it's none other than Joe Polish, the networking
and marketing master.
He's got a really unique approach that cuts through the noise
and gets to the heart of what it takes to build a thriving
business.
Right.
Polish is all about building genuine connections.
Yeah.
And creating content that truly resonates with your audience.
He believes that authenticity and value
are key to standing out in a crowded marketplace.
One of the speakers decided to give Polish's strategies a shot.
And they saw a noticeable difference
in their client acquisition and brand visibility.
They realized that it wasn't about pushing sales messages
24-7.
It was about building real relationships
and providing information that people actually
found helpful and engaging.
Yeah.
It's a testament to the fact that people can
spot a phony a mile away.
Right.
You know, when you're genuine, when you provide real value,
people are drawn to you.
And that's what builds lasting success.
And last but certainly not least,
we have Bill Bartman, who brings a powerful message
about resilience and overcoming adversity.
Right.
This is a guy who's faced some serious challenges in his life.
Yeah.
But he always bounces back stronger.
Bartman's story is incredibly inspiring.
It is.
He talks about the importance of having a positive mindset,
unwavering determination, and a willingness
to learn from your setbacks.
Right.
He believes that challenges are inevitable.
Yeah.
But it's our response to them that
determines our ultimate success.
One of the speakers shared how much Bartman's story resonated
with them.
They'd experienced their own share of financial ups and downs.
And hearing Bartman talk about his journey
gave them a renewed sense of hope and motivation.
It's like a reminder that no matter what life throws at you,
you have the power to overcome it and come out
stronger on the other side.
It's a message we all need to hear sometimes,
especially when things get tough.
You know?
Yeah.
Bartman's story is a beacon of hope,
reminding us that we're all capable of achieving
incredible things even in the face of adversity.
So we've covered a lot of ground.
We have.
From conquering debt and investing like a pro
to building a business that rocks and leaving
a legacy that matters, this money revealed series,
is like a treasure map to financial freedom.
It's amazing how these experts, each with their own unique
perspective, come together to paint
this comprehensive picture of what it
takes to build real, lasting wealth.
It's not just about making money.
It's about creating a life of financial well-being and purpose.
Absolutely.
And the best part is that they don't just talk theory.
They give you real world strategies and actionable advice
that you can actually implement in your own life.
That's right.
Like, remember Kiyosaki's whole concept
of using debt to your advantage?
Yes.
It's a game changer.
It really challenges that traditional fear-based approach
to debt and encourages us to think about it
as a potential tool for building wealth.
Yeah.
Of course, you have to be smart about it.
But Kiyosaki shows how you can leverage
debt to acquire income-generating assets,
like that rental property example we talked about,
and accelerate your path to financial freedom.
It's like turning debt from a burden into a stepping stone.
Yes.
And then there's Andy Tanner's strategy with covered calls.
I'll admit, I was a little intimidated by the whole options
trading thing at first.
Yeah.
But Tanner breaks it down so clearly,
and the results one of the speakers experienced
were just incredible.
Yeah.
It's a great example of how a strategy that
might seem complex on the surface
can actually be quite accessible and incredibly
beneficial the way Tanner explains it.
It's like you're renting out your stocks for a premium.
I love that analogy.
Yeah.
Generating income while still potentially benefiting
from any price appreciation.
It's like a win-win.
And I love how Doug Andrew opened my eyes
to the world of IULs.
I had no idea that insurance could play such a powerful role
in retirement planning.
Yeah.
The tax advantages and the protection
from market downturns are huge, especially
as you get closer to retirement.
Right.
It's all about finding the right tools and strategies that
align with your individual goals and risk tolerance.
IULs might not be the perfect fit for everyone,
but for some people, they can be a game changer
when it comes to creating a secure and comfortable
retirement.
And speaking of long-term thinking,
Adam Baratta's emphasis on playing the long game
and building a diversified portfolio that
can weather any storm really resonated with me,
it's easy to get caught up in the short-term fluctuations
of the market.
But Baratta reminds us that slow and steady often wins
the race.
Absolutely.
It's about having a plan sticking to it
and not letting emotions dictate your investment decisions.
Right.
Baratta stresses the importance of diversification,
not putting all your eggs in one basket,
and considering different asset classes,
including precious metals like gold,
which can act as a safe haven during times
of economic uncertainty.
It's like building a fortress for your wealth,
sturdy, resilient, incapable of withstanding
any economic hurricane.
And Kevin Harrington's no-nonsense advice
on entrepreneurship is pure gold.
He cuts right to the chase, emphasizing
the importance of a killer-pitch, laser-focused marketing
and really understanding your target audience.

Harrington's a master at branding and marketing.
And he knows what it takes to make a business stand out
in a crowded marketplace.
His advice on crafting a compelling story,
targeting the right customers, and building
a strong online presence is invaluable for any entrepreneur,
no matter what stage they're at.
And Brian Page's perspective on the gig economy
is so empowering.
He shows us that the traditional 9 to 5
isn't the only path to success anymore.
The gig economy offers this incredible opportunity
to create your own schedule, be your own boss,
and potentially earn more than you ever
could in a traditional job.
Right.
It's about embracing the changing landscape of work
and leveraging the power of platforms like Upwork and Fiver
to find freelance gigs, build your personal brand,
and create a career that aligns with your passions and skills.
It's about taking control of your destiny.
And when the going gets tough, John Maxwell's wisdom
on leadership during challenging times is like a lifeline.
He reminds us that setbacks are inevitable,

maintaining a long-term perspective,

and within your team if you have one.
Right.
He shows us how strong leadership can transform challenges
into opportunities for growth and learning.

to streamline processes, boost efficiency,
and create a business that can scale smoothly and sustainably.
It's about building a machine that runs like clockwork.
And let's face it, taxes are a necessary evil,
but Tom Wheelwright shows us how to make peace with them
and potentially save a ton of money
through strategic tax planning.
Right.
Wheelwright is a master at navigating the complexities
of the tax system.
Yeah.
And he shares his knowledge in a way
that's easy to understand and implement.
He emphasizes the importance of staying informed
about tax laws, leveraging deductions,
and exploring tax-advantaged investment opportunities.
It's about taking control of your tax situation
instead of letting it control you.
And Chris Hogan's message about legacy planning
is so powerful, he reminds us that it's not just
about accumulating wealth, it's about what we do with it
and the impact we make on the world.
Right.
Hogan encourages us to think about our values, our passions,
and the legacy we want to leave behind.
Yeah.
It's about creating a financial plan that
aligns with our deepest desires and ensures
that our loved ones are taken care of even when we're no longer
around.
It's about living a life of purpose
and making a difference that extends beyond our own lifetimes.
And Brandon Dawson's advice on building a strong team
and nurturing customer relationships is so spot on.
Right.
Dawson reminds us that people are at the heart
of every successful business.
It's about creating a positive work environment
where everyone feels valued and supported.
Right.
And it's about going above and beyond
to create an exceptional customer experience that
builds loyalty and trust.
It's about creating a community around your business,
a tribe of loyal fans who love what you do
and can't wait to tell their friends.
And Joe Polish's insights on networking and marketing
are pure gold.
He's got this unique approach that's
all about building genuine connections and creating
content that truly resonates with your audience.
Right.
Polish believes that authenticity and value
are key to cutting through the noise in today's crowded
marketplace.
Right.
It's not about pushing sales messages 24-7.
It's about building relationships,
providing valuable information, and creating an experience
that people genuinely enjoy.
It's about making people feel seen, heard, and understood.
And Bill Bartman's story of resilience and overcoming
adversity is so inspiring.
It's a reminder that no matter what challenges we face,
we have the power to rise above them and achieve our dreams.
Right.
Bartman talks about the importance
of maintaining a positive mindset,
cultivating unwavering determination,
and embracing setbacks as opportunities for growth.
His story is a testament to the human spirit's incredible
ability to overcome even the toughest obstacles.
It's a reminder that we're all capable of achieving
incredible things when we set our minds to it
and never give up on our dreams.
So as we wrap up this deep dive, I think the key takeaway
is that financial success is not a matter of luck or circumstance.
It's about mindset strategy and taking action.

Yeah.

Yeah, me too.
There's so much good stuff in here,
and I know we've only just scratched the surface.
Right, it's like a treasure trove of financial wisdom.
It is, and we've got a lot more to unpack.
So why don't we just jump right back in?
Let's do it.
So I think one of the things that really struck me
about this series was how each expert had their own kind
of unique spin on things.
Right, they all come from different backgrounds
and have different areas of expertise.
Right, but it all kind of ties together
in a way that makes sense.
Yeah, it's like they're all pieces of the same puzzle.
Exactly, and I think that's what makes it so valuable.
You're getting this really well-rounded perspective
on financial success.
And it's not just theory.
They're all practitioners.
They've actually done this stuff themselves.
Right, they're not just talking the talk.
They're walking the walk.
Exactly, and that makes their advice so much more
credible and relatable.
So let's dive back in and revisit some
of these key takeaways, starting with Robert Kiyosaki
and his whole concept of using debt to your advantage.
Yeah, that's one of the most controversial ideas
in the series, but it's also one of the most powerful.
Right, it really challenges the conventional wisdom
about debt.
Yeah, most people are taught to fear debt,
to avoid it at all costs.
But Kiyosaki says, no, no, no, you can actually use debt
to build wealth.
Right, but you have to be smart about it.
You have to use debt to acquire assets that generate income.
Like that rental property example we talked about.
Exactly, you're not just taking on debt for consumption.
You're using it to create a cash flow.
Right, and that's the key difference.
And it can be a really effective way
to accelerate your path to financial freedom.
Now, I know that this concept can be a little scary
for some people.
Yeah, it's definitely not for everyone.
But it's worth considering.
Right, if you're comfortable with a little bit of risk
and you're willing to do your homework.
You can really make debt work for you.
And Kiyosaki provides a lot of guidance
on how to do that safely and responsibly.
So let's move on to Andy Tanner
and his strategy with covered calls.
Yeah, this is a great way to generate income
from stocks that you already own.
Right, it's like getting paid to hold your investments.
And it can also help to reduce your risk.
One of the speakers in the series
talked about how they used covered calls
to create a more stable and predictable income
stream from their portfolio.
Yeah, it's like having a built-in safety net.
And it gave them a lot more peace of mind.
Especially during times when the market was volatile.
Right, they knew that they had this extra layer of protection.
And it allowed them to stay invested for the long term.
Which is key to building wealth in the stock market.
Yeah, time is your friend when it comes to investing.
Okay, now let's talk about Doug Andrew
and his insights on retirement planning,
specifically his take on IULs.
You know, IULs are a bit of a controversial topic
in the financial world.
Right, some people love them, some people hate them.
But Andrew makes a really compelling case
for why they can be a powerful tool for retirement planning.
He highlights the tax advantages,
the protection from market downturns.
And the potential for growth.
One of the speakers in the series
shared how they used an IUL to create
a tax-free retirement income stream.
Well, that's impressive.
And they were really happy with the results.
You know, IULs are not for everyone,
but they can be a great option for people
who are looking for tax-advantaged growth and protection.
And speaking of long-term planning,
Adam Barat's emphasis on playing the long game
really resonated with me.
Yeah, he's all about building a portfolio
that can stand a test of time.
He talks about the importance of diversification.
Right, not putting all your eggs in one basket.
And he also recommends considering precious metals
like gold as a way to hedge against inflation
and economic uncertainty.
You know, gold has been a store of value for centuries.
Right, it's like a financial insurance policy.
And it can provide peace of mind
during times of market turmoil.
So we've covered a lot of ground already,
but we've got a lot more to go.
I'm really excited to keep diving into these expert insights
and see what other gems we can uncover.
Me too.
This series is packed with valuable information,
and I know we're gonna learn a lot.
All right, so let's keep going.
Okay, so next up we've got Kevin Harrington,
the Shark Tank guru himself,
and he's sharing his secrets to entrepreneurial success.
You know, Harrington's been there, done that,
built multiple successful businesses.
Right, he's a true entrepreneur.
And he's got a no-nonsense approach
that cuts through the BS.
Yeah, he tells it like it is.
And he's all about taking action.
Right, he says you can have the greatest idea in the world,
but if you don't take action, it's worthless.
And one of the speakers in the series
shared how they used Harrington's advice
to launch their own successful business.
That's awesome, yeah.
It's so inspiring to hear those real-life success stories.
It shows that it's possible to achieve your dreams
if you're willing to put in the work.
And Harrington provides a roadmap for how to do that.
So let's move on to Brian Page
and his insights on the gig economy.
You know, the gig economy is exploding.
It is, it's changing the way we work.
And Page shows us how to leverage it
to create a thriving income stream.
He talks about the importance of building a personal brand.
Right, establishing yourself as an expert in your field.
And finding your niche.
Finding that sweet spot where your skills and passions
meet the needs of the market.
And one of the speakers in the series
shared how they used Page's advice
to transition from a traditional 9-to-5 job
to a successful freelance career.
That's great.
Yeah, it shows that it's possible
to create a fulfilling and profitable career
on your own terms.
And that's what the gig economy is all about,
freedom, flexibility, and control.
And it's only getting bigger.
Now let's talk about John Maxwell
and his wisdom on leadership during challenging times.

So there you have it, a whirlwind tour of the Money
Revealed series.
We've covered a lot of ground.
But I think we've only just scratched the surface.
Right, there's so much more to unpack.
And I'm excited to keep diving in and see what other gems
we can uncover.
Me too.
This series is a treasure trove of financial wisdom.
And I know that it has the power to transform lives.
Absolutely.
It's all about taking action.
Right, you can have all the knowledge in the world.
But if you don't apply it.
It's worthless.
So what's one thing you're going to do today
to take action on what you've learned?
Write it down, make a plan, and commit to it.
Your future self will thank you.
It's amazing, isn't it, how this whole series?
It really avoids trying to pigeonhole you
into one specific way of doing things.
Yeah, exactly.
It's not like this is the only path to financial success.
It's more like giving you this toolbox
with all these different tools and strategies.
Great way to put it.
And then you get to choose which ones resonate with you,
which ones you're excited to try out.
Yeah, exactly.
And the cool thing is you've already,
you've gathered all these incredible insights
from this Money Revealed series.
Now it's just about taking that knowledge
and turning it into action.
Exactly.
But I think one of the biggest challenges that people face
is that they get overwhelmed.
They're like, oh my gosh, there's so much to do.
Where do I even begin?
It can feel very overwhelming.
It's like trying to climb Mount Everest in one giant leap.
Yeah, exactly.
You gotta break it down.
You gotta break it down into smaller steps.
And so, I think that's where it's helpful
to maybe just pick one expert
whose advice really resonated with you
and just focus on that for now.
Exactly.
And maybe it's Kiyosaki's concept of using debt
to acquire income-generating assets.
Or maybe it's Tanner's approach to covered calls.
Or maybe it's something as simple as setting up a budget.
Or finally tackling that debt that's been weighing you down.
Or having a conversation with a financial advisor.
Absolutely.
Whatever it is, just pick one thing.
Yeah.
And focus on that.
And take action.
Yeah.
That's the key.
Yeah.
Momentum builds momentum.
That's right.
So as you experience those small wins,
you'll start to gain confidence
and you'll be more motivated to keep going.
It's like a snowball rolling downhill, right?
Exactly.
It starts small, but then it just gains momentum
and it becomes this unstoppable force.
And remember, you don't have to do this alone.
That's so important.
You know, there are so many resources available.
Yes.
Books, podcasts, online communities,
financial advisors.
Mentors.
Mentors, exactly.
Yeah.
A whole network of people.
Yeah.
Who can provide guidance and encouragement.
And don't be afraid to ask for help.
Absolutely.
You know, there's no shame in reaching out to someone
who's been there, done that.
Right.
We're all in this together.
Financial success is a journey.
Yeah.
It's not a destination.
It's a journey best shared with others.
That's right.
