022: M.C. Laubscher: Wisdom Wednesday! The Wealth Pyramid
In today’s episode, I will discuss the Wealth Pyramid. The Wealth Pyramid provides a great example to build a solid foundation for a well-structured wealth plan. This Wealth Pyramid is something that anyone can structure for themselves regardless of income level and net worth. So many people do not build their wealth pyramid with a solid foundation and risk all of their capital because of this. We look at the concepts of saving, investing and much more. Bestselfco., Make Success a Habit! Use the Self Journal to organize and align tactical day to day tasks with larger life goals. Key Take Aways: The bottom of the pyramid and first foundational piece is of the wealth pyramid is your health, relationships, your mindset and your soul purpose and human life value which includes your skill sets and special gifts. The second layer is your conservative layer that includes a dashboard for your financial information, your credit score and strategies to improve your credit score, flexible spending plan, wealth capture strategies to capture your wealth and save 6 months to 2 years of income in liquid savings, protective strategies like life insurance, car insurance, home owners insurance, estate planning, tax planning and emergency preparedness strategies like food, water and other needs as well as cash on hand and precious metals The third layer consist out of moderate strategies that include businesses that you control, conservative real estate investments, conservative paper assets like certain bonds, and more precious metals The fourth and final layer at the top of the pyramid is the growth portion of your plan. If you have the first three layers in order, this layer allows you to swing for the fences in business, real estate, commodities and paper assets. This should be the money that you could afford to lose.

018: M.C. Laubscher: Wisdom Wednesday! What's Your "Why"?
A foundational building block to optimal health, fulfilling relationships and building generational wealth is your mindset and the way that you think and see the world. At the core of your mindset is you "why". In today's episode I will discuss why a strong "why" is so important to pursuing your goals. A strong enough "why" will give you the strength to get through challenging times on your way to the life of your dreams. Bestselfco., Make Success a Habit! Use the Self Journal to organize and align tactical day to day tasks with larger life goals. Key Take Aways: We need to create the mindset we need to become the person that we need to be in order to have the live we desire in health, relationships and money. Your desire to change must be greater than your desire to stay the same. You need to have a very strong why to succeed otherwise you will just give up on whatever you are after when times get tough. What is your "why"? What motivates you? What is your vision that will keep you going in times of challenge and adversity? Write down your why and vision for your life and write down a mission statement for your life and review these documents weekly. Quote: “It’s not just WHAT or HOW you do things that matters; what matters more is that WHAT and HOW you do things is consistent with your WHY” - Simon Sinek Recommended Book: Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action by Simon Sinek What's Your Why?: How a three-word question can change you, your company, and the lives of those you lead by Kent Burns With Silouan Recommended Resources: Do You Know Your "Why?" 4 Questions To Find Your Purpose by Maggie Warrell How To Improve Your Life By Discovering Your Why by Craig Dewe Why Discovering Your 'Why' Is the No. 1 Business Move by Renee Warren Show Sponsors: Audible, download any audio book for free when you try audible for 30 days.

016: M.C. Laubscher: Wisdom Wednesday! Mark Ford's 8 Rules For Financial Independence
In today’s episode, I will discuss and share a piece that Mark Ford wrote that I found very insightful and valuable. I have found Mark Ford's advice and insights on personal finance, business, real estate, investing and building wealth in general extremely interesting. I subscribe to his Palm Beach Letter, a monthly financial newsletter publication that provides fantastic information on building wealth. Please let me know your thoughts on today's episode on Twitter @mclaubscher. Bestselfco., Make Success a Habit! Use the Self Journal to organize and align tactical day to day tasks with larger life goals. Key Take Aways: You can’t truly trust anybody but yourself with your money. The harder someone tries to convince you to trust him, the less you should. However good a track record someone has, never believe that he/she can’t suddenly start losing your money. In fact, if you are like me, the moment you invest will be the moment his/her track record starts falling apart. All markets rise and fall. Don’t ever believe anyone who assures you that they can predict the future. If you don’t learn to spend less than you make, you will never have peace of mind. Most of what you buy when your income is above $100,000 is discretionary. Don’t fool yourself into thinking you need a big house or a fancy car. In making financial projections for yourself or a business, always create three scenarios: one that shows what things will look like if everything goes as hoped; one that shows what will happen if things are mediocre; and one that shows what will happen if things fall apart. Know that the third scenario is optimistic. Quote: “The only way to be truly financially independent is to have multiple streams of income, each one of them sufficient to pay for the lifestyle you want to live.” - Mark Ford Recommended Book: Ready, Fire, Aim: Zero to $100 Million in No Time Flat by Michael Masterson Automatic Wealth: The Six Steps to Financial Independence by Michael Masterson Recommended Resources: Mark Ford's Early to Rise Article Show Sponsors: Audible, download any audio book for free when you try audible for 30 days.

014: M.C. Laubscher: Wisdom Wednesday! Understanding Parkinson's Law
In today’s episode, I discuss Parkinson's Law. Norcote Parkinson wrote a book called Parkinson’s Law where he isolates some limitations of us all and particularly focuses in on the behavior of individuals within a group. In Parkinson’s Law he writes, “Work expands to meet the time envelope allowed.” Meaning if we have 5 days to complete a task, it will take us 5 days to complete the task. If we were allowed 30 days to complete the same task, we would take 30 days to complete the task. Parkinson’s law also states that, “a luxury, once enjoyed, becomes a necessity” and “expenses rise equal to income” In a financial context, we can define Parkinson’s Law as: the more you earn, the more you spend. When our income increases, our expenses rise to meet or exceed that increase. We are always working against Parkinson’s Law. Bestselfco., Make Success a Habit! Use the Self Journal to organize and align tactical day to day tasks with larger life goals. Key Take Aways: We can combat Parkinson’s Law is by establishing an wealth infrastructure and system to beat it within your wealth plan. You can set up a separate account in which you can make weekly or monthly deposits. These deposits can be set as a fixed amount or a percentage of the money you earn. This will ensure that a percentage of very dollar that comes into your personal economy is automatically captured in a separate account. You can automate this infrastructure so it removes the “human element” from it How your “wealth capture account”, is a great vehicle to build liquid savings reserves that can be accessed for emergencies, as well as for capitalizing on investment opportunities. Quote: “It’s not how much money you make, but how much you keep and how hard you make that money work for you that will determine if you will be rich or poor.” - Robert T.
