EP266 | A Different View On Financial Freedom With Jerred Moon

Had one of my business partners, Jerred Moon, join me on the PT Entrepreneur Podcast today. We planned to talk digital content, but took a hard left turn into something just as critical: getting your personal finances dialed in as an entrepreneur.

Jerred shared his awesome journey from Air Force fighter pilot to successful online fitness coach (check out Garage Gym Athlete!), including how he crushed $100k in debt fast. We dove deep into why sorting out your insurance (life, auto, home, umbrella) is non negotiable, why investing in YOURSELF and your skills often beats traditional retirement accounts early on, the power of cash flowing assets like real estate versus just accumulation, and why you absolutely need to own your financial future instead of just handing it off.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• Get properly insured: Max out coverages on life, auto, home, and add an umbrella policy. It's foundational protection.
• Invest in your own skills and business first to significantly increase your earning potential before focusing heavily on retirement funds.
• Focus on building cash flow (like through rental properties) not just accumulating savings for some distant future.
• Take active ownership of your finances; understand the advice you're getting and don't just passively hand it over.
• Shift from a scarcity mindset (just saving) to an abundance mindset (creating more income) to truly grow.

🧠 Pro Tip:

Your best initial investment? Yourself. Level up your income generating skills before stressing about maxing out retirement funds. That income fuels everything else.
