Chris Goodman was at law school and working a job in corporate litigation when he found himself yelling at two squirrels in his backyard. He was sitting at home trying to study contract law when the squirrels started doing what squirrels do, running around and making a lot of noise. Chris screamed at them then had one of those reckoning moments - how did he get so stressed that he was yelling at squirrels? He started paying attention to how much stress he was experiencing and realized that the reasons he was staying in law school were not good reasons. So ultimately he decided to quit and find more fulfilment in his life. Real estate looked fun so he picked up a license and quickly became one of the top buyers’ agents in the country, earned Rookie of the Year, help build a million-dollar team and coached three more agents to become Rookie of the Year. In 2017 Chris took his passion for coaching into his own business and today he’s an entrepreneur, consultant and coach for business owners who want to become their best. He specializes in leadership, sales, training, team building, mindset coaching and creating a life and business that offers true freedom.

Today’s Topic: Mapping out financial goals

 

As we record, Kim’s eating grapes from the grapevine at the back of our Airbnb in Montenegro. After our 4-month Europe trip we’re moving to California, which is way more expensive than Georgia, where we used to live, so in this episode, Kim and I talk about our financial goals and how we plan to achieve them. We just started using a system we learnt from one of our mentors. 

 

The system is super simple. You have three financial buckets. Bucket 1 is about safety and security, bucket 2 is about comfort and pleasure and bucket 3 is called the baller bucket and it’s about your wild and audacious financial goals. 

 

The idea is that you fill the buckets in order. First you do the safety and security bucket. And that means you're ridding yourself of any debt, you're saving for any emergencies. Then, once that bucket is full, then you move into your comfort and pleasure bucket. And that's when you get to pay off your house and you can buy the car that you want and do those things that are all about building comfort and pleasure. And then you move to the baller bucket.Let's say you've got $10,000 a month that you're paying in debt. Well, once that debt is paid off, then you’ve freed up 10,000 bucks a month to be able to put towards the comfort and pleasure bucket. So as you're accomplishing different goals, it has a snowball effect and, before you know it, you’ve got an avalanche.

 

In thinking about our buckets, we've mapped out what we want to do and how we have to fund those buckets. Part of the strategy is that we have multiple income streams.This kind of clarity around our goals has really helped us and we’ve discovered that by focusing on one goal, we actually accomplish all kinds of other goals. For example, we used to have individual vision boards but then we decided to make one together and focus on one goal, moving our family to the South Bay Hermosa Beach area by August 2019. To do that we had to sell my clinic. What ended up happening is we did that and then things that were on Kim’s vision board, living in Italy and traveling in Europe, became possible too.

Today’s Topic: Montenegro

 

Kim and I are currently in Montenegro. If you don’t know where Montenegro is, it was part of the former Yugoslavia and is south of Croatia, Russia and Bosnia. I was nervous about coming to Montenegro and at first it was a total shock to the system. First I got into a little trouble at the border for Instagramming photos of the police. Then we drove around without any phone signal trying to find our Airbnb only to discover it was at the top of a very steep hill. 155 steps, one broken flip-flop and many misadventures with luggage later, I got up to the Airbnb to realize it came with a cat. I’m so allergic to cats I get hives on the palm of my hands. Then there were the bugs, the flies and the mosquitoes.

 

I woke up the next morning with my eyes swollen shut from the cat allergy and suffering the shits because of the dinner we’d had the night before. 

 

At this point I was pretty annoyed. Then Kim revealed that when she’d said we were staying for “like, 14 days”, she really meant 18.

 

You know what, though? I went to do my morning routine and came back a lot happier. Kim booked us this Airbnb because she knew we needed time away from everything to rest and reset. So we’re looking out at the mountains, our Airbnb has a rooftop yoga studio, we got some medication for my allergies and I’ve been hanging out with the cat.

 

Kim and I have been using this time to focus and work on our goals. Instead of sitting in a coffee shop somewhere or sitting home and executing a to do list, I'm dreaming and visualizing because my state of mind is completely different here. 

 

My takeaways from this experience are:

 

• The brain learns from mistakes and surprises.
• We become inspired by putting ourselves in environments that cause us to grow. 
• I have a tendency to go, go, go and to achieve, achieve, achieve. And sometimes in doing that, you don't take the time to be thoughtful about your life, to be thoughtful about the why behind what you're doing. And you certainly don't take the time to execute on those ideas that you're trying to create.
