Welcome back to the E&E podcast!
 
It has been a strong start to the year and I am excited to share this new podcast season with you. We are approaching this season a little differently and will be doing a few chapters from "Silver Linings: Finding Growth Within Dysfunction" authored by the podcast host each episode. 

I hope you find the sharing insightful. 

Wishing you all the best,

In an era in which nothing is certain but change, we must run to literally maintain the status quo. It is time to step out of the comfort zone, step up, and future proof!

Grit and discipline are traits that seem to becoming more and more uncommon. Grit is necessary to develop a discipline. Discipline is required to instill a habit.

Now more than ever we need individuals to step up and take on the burden of leadership. A true servant leader will sacrifice personal wants for the growth of the team. In putting the team first, leaders will earn leadership capital which can be used to influence and impact the team on their path to success. 

Thank you for visiting and listening to another episode of the Evolve & Elevate podcast! This episode covered some of the basic principles around living simply & building a foundation for a financially stable future. 

With persistence and financial discipline - you will inevitably reach financial stability. Growing wealth is a science with strict rules of engagement – learn them and use them! 

In 2018, as a single father earning a 40k (41.3k to be exact) a year salary– I was able to follow the science of wealth building and max my 401k (18.5k USD), purchase a rental property (no money down) and turn a 35K investment with 6 months of time investment (DIY Remodeling) into a 1K/month 3 year signed lease. (that’s a paid off mortgage on a property now worth double in three years!) Imagine repeating that deal one a year for a decade – what would your life look like?

Through simple living within a predetermined budget and research into the basic principles of wealth building – you too can build a foundation for which to grow your future financial stability upon! 

But no one will do it for you – get out there and get it done! Stay up!
