It's impossible to predict the unpredictable. So how can you prepare? Financial freedom - TRUE financial freedom - will look different for everyone at each stage of life, especially when something unthinkable strikes.  Today, we have Rich Fettke back on the podcast.

Motivation for me really doesn't work. I don't think it was a realistic way for me to produce an outcome. The "this is all up to you no matter what" mindset was a hard pill to swallow. I had to disassociate the fact that outcomes come from your ACTIONS not your BEING a certain way - especially if it's not in your natural inclinations. So I had to FORCE myself to be successful. As much as I'd like to think I'd never be lazy and never take a day off - that's not true! And it's really difficult when your outcomes are not associated with you like that naturally.  How do employers do it then? How do they get a bunch of tired, disgruntled people to come into work at all? And more importantly, how do you do that for your own business the right way?  Enjoyed the episode?

What are some ways you can use a set amount of cash, say $100,000, and turn it into a recurring 6-Figure income? Can you take your existing cash sitting in savings and repurpose it to generate returns that will outpace far beyond your original cash amount?  Enjoyed the episode?

Finding opportunities in life and business is easier said than done. When I buy an asset, I don't hope and pray that the market will lift it up and maybe I'll come out on top. Absolutely not. Luck is great, but it's not reliable. Focus on the strategy and the value behind your opportunities. Businesses need systems to produce a desirable outcome. I believe this applies to any part of life, and especially investments and money. But how do you build a system that absorbs risk and extracts opportunity? And how do you know an opportunity is good or not? Opportunity is not an award, it's CREATED. Enjoyed the episode? Leave us a review, it really helps us out!
