Thanks guys! Finally, this week’s awesome review from iTunes is from PhyllisJP: “I love getting motivation and inspiration from your interviewees. I was listening to Ana Neff on my run this morning. When she talked about living authentically and some signs that one is not, it really resonated with me. Then when you played Fleetwood Mac at the end singing about “go your own way” I started crying. Do you know how hard it is to run and cry at the same time? 🙂 Anyway, thanks for doing what you do and shining your light so the rest of us can shine ours” Thanks Phyllis!

How the rich budget to get richer
David shares some of the strategies that he uses to create, maintain and expand wealth Poor dad said, “Live below your means.” Rich dad said, “Expand your means.” If you were to take a look at the difference between my poor dad’s budget and my rich dad’s budget, you’d understand the vast difference of mindset between the two statements above. My poor dad’s budget focused on cutting expenses to meet his income. It was important for him to pay everyone else and then enjoy what was left—if anything. My rich dad’s budget focused on increasing income. It was important for him to pay himself first and then taking care of his expenses. He said, “Most people use their budget as a plan to become poor or middle class rather than become rich. My budget is a plan to become rich.” Here are four tips my rich dad taught me about budgeting to become rich. #1 – A budget surplus is an expense. One of rich dad’s most important lessons was, “You have to make a surplus an expense.” What he meant is that most people view a surplus as an asset. They place their extra cash in the bank or they spend it on liabilities. Rather than view extra money as an asset, rich dad viewed it as an expense in the form of charity, investing and saving. Most people want to give to charity, invest in assets and save money, but the problem is that they view it as something to do after they’ve paid their expenses. By making these things expenses in his budget, my rich dad ensured that he would make them a priority. He called it paying himself first. #2 – Your expense column is a crystal ball. If you want to predict a person’s financial future, you have to look no further than the expense column. Here’s an example of two different expense columns: Person A: Person B: Donation to charity Six-pack of beer Savings New shoes Books on investing New TV Seminar on real estate Football tickets Gym dues (Another) six-pack of beer Personal coach Bag of potato chips While that’s a humorous example, it’s not far from the truth. When you look at most people’s expense columns, they’re littered with payments to other people and for liabilities. In each case, expenses don’t go towards anything that will make money and only things that permanently take money out of your pocket. Take a look at your expense column. What does it say about you? #3 – Use assets to pay for liabilities. My poor dad was frugal and thought that was a...
090- Redefining Your Personal Wealth Code
David shares his journey from rags to riches and how he was able to reprogram his mind and begin to see himself, the world, opportunity, success and wealth differently. He shares how his environment (E) lead to his Perceptions (P) to how he Thought (T), which lead to how he Felt (F), which lead to his Actions (A) and ultimately to his Results (R) E – P – T – F – A – R So, once David got that his Results sucked, he went back and looked at his environment, how he had been programmed, and how his perceptions were in fact keeping him broke and unhappy.
