Brendan Boyd shares his thoughts on reparations and how they should be approached. He believes that simply giving money to people, particularly those who may lack financial literacy and discipline, will only result in the money going right back to the government.Brendan suggests that instead of just receiving reparations, individuals should focus on acquiring financial knowledge, understanding business, and learning about mergers and acquisitions. He emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility and taking action to improve one's financial situation, rather than relying on the government to provide solutions. Brendan also mentions the significance of family masterminds, where family members can come together to share knowledge, support each other, and build a strong foundation for financial success. He urges individuals to take control of their own financial destiny and not wait for others to give them something.Takeaways:Reparations should not be given away without financial literacy and discipline. Acquiring financial knowledge and business skills is crucial for making smart financial decisions.Start with the family unit to promote financial literacy and support each other's success.Take personal responsibility and don't rely on government handouts for financial well-being.ConnectBRENDAN BOYDhttps://www.instagram.com/itsbrendanboyd/https://www.youtube.com/@ItsBrendanBoyd/ https://podcasttoprofits.live/nowTEXT: “daily” to 213-410-4920Mark SavantLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-savant-ba777145Start your Podcast: https://marksavantmedia.com_____________________________________________🗞️ Newsletter: www.aiupdate.ai🚀 Get more leads with YouTube: www.marksavantmedia.com 🎙️ Podcast: www.afterhoursentrepreneur.com📧 Email: contact@marksavantmedia.com_____________________________________________Your network is your net worth.
