And in fact, one of the things that we are taught it’s a primary principle or a message that we get as children that if you make 50 percent of anything wrong that you are a failure and you are criticised. And in fact, if you have made 50 percent wrong you have made 50 percent right in the real world, that means you are a billionaire that you have had tremendous impact. to be able to think about our thinking. To think about how we think about things is incredibly important, it makes us an observer. Usually we end up being very reptilian or just very primal, we just react and we were emotional. Using a different part of our brain to think about how we are thinking about things puts us into a different plane where we are actually able to have more impact and have more calm and just a better life if we are willing to think about those things. So like the mistake piece if we think about how we process that over the years it may put is in a place where we are able to be more free from the mistakes and grow faster”…[Listen for More] Click Here for Show Notes To Listen or to Get the Show Notes go to https://wp.me/p6Tf4b-7xD

And if you want to engage an adviser that’s an interpretive adviser… I love the word solidarity… Solidarity is when you walk in solidarity with somebody you are walking with them through life’s journey. And you want to find advisers that are walking through life’s journey with you and that are willing to be there with you and to know intimately your business and how you are operating and how you want to operate, what your vision is and help you deliver that. So, I think it’s important to find that adviser that’s not giving advice from a silo, that they have a broad understanding… A broad and pretty deep understanding of how to integrate that tax, financial and investment strategy because again it’s not what you earn in the market, it’s what you keep after taxes that’s important”…[Listen for More] Click Here for Show Notes To Listen or to Get the Show Notes go to https://wp.me/p6Tf4b-7xz
