We all have a desire to live a better life. No matter your income level we all would like to do better. Finances are that part of life that is simply a reality we all must deal with. Finances affect our relationships. In fact, finances are the biggest contributors to divorce. What is more, your business finances are going to either keep your company afloat or they are going to sink your business ship.

The question comes what are you doing, or not doing that is keeping you, your family, and business from building your finances that can contribute to a little more peace and prosperity? In this episode of A New direction financial wealth advisor to grammy winning recording artists, pop culture icons and sports celebrities Erik Weir returns to talk to us more about how to practically stabilize your finances, build wealth, from his book “Who’s Eating Your Pie”.

Erik Weir’s book “Who’s Eating Your Pie?: Essential Financial Advice that Will Transform Your Life” is not your typical book on finances and financial well-being.  Erik takes an in depth look at how you are thinking about finances, in terms of your mindset.  What is your mindset about success?  What is the difference in thinking between the successful and the unsuccessful.  How do you handle failure?  How do you develop resilience? 

Who’s Eating Your Pie is going to transform you physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and financially.  He provides examples of people he was worked with that have transformed their lives and gone from not having much to living in abundance.  The question becomes…”what are you waiting for?”  If you want to change your life, and live the life that you were created to live then it’s time to listen in and get your copy of Who’s Eating Your Pies?  It could be life changing!

Did you know it is more common then ever to become a millionaire?  Yep…if you are in the middle class you too can become a millionaire.  But it is not going to happen over night, and it is not going to happen without some work.  Becoming the middle class millionaire is going to require some steps.  Saving money, spending below your means, investing money wisely, and time.  The fact is as humans we struggle with all of these to some level.  In a society that wants to feel good now, saving money is not on our radar.  And because, as humans, we can be concerned about what other people think, we buy the most luxurious things we can to make us look like we are successful.  And when it comes to investing, we do not always listen to professionals like Clark Kendall because we often think we know what is best and we fail.  Then, finally there is time…we do not want to wait.  We want what we want now.  And yet these four ingredients are crucial to our financial success.

Clark Kendall is a Certified Financial Advisor, and founder and CEO of Kendall Capital.  He has written what I believe to be the most practical, realistic, understandable, quick reading guides to financial wealth that I have seen to date entitled “The Middle-Class Millionaire: Surprisingly Simple Strategies to Grow and Enjoy Your Wealth”.  In this episode of A New Direction we cover only a few of the topics that the book covers:  Having the mindset of a saver, understanding good credit versus bad credit, how to make a better vehicle purchase decision, investment risk, should you retire, and giving.  In this interview with Clark Kendall, not only will you become more financially literate, but you too will be on your way to becoming a Middle-Class Millionaire.
