Learning For Legacy

This Episode is a case study of Richard Williams, father of Venus & Serena Williams, and how he initiated generational wealth for his family. Join Afam as he tells you how a set of values, an idea, and a resolve can be the initial seed in your hand to usher in a harvest of generational family wealth in ways you could not even begin to imagine.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Richard Williams will be the subject of an upcoming Will Smith film due out this year.
• As a parent, Richard had a philosophy of teaching that you can make your kids feel weak, or make them feel strong. Your strength is simply an attitude you have about yourself.
• The vision of why you do something is just as important as being able to accurately balance it with the mission of what you do.
• Richard saw a tennis player win $40,000 for only four days' work. It was at that point he decided he would have two daughters who would dominate the game. Two and a half years before Venus was born, Richard wrote an entire dossier on how he could make them not just the best players, but the most dominant the sport had ever seen.
• He took a father first, and coach second approach. You can be committed to your child, but you cannot be committed for your child.
• Even when Serena and Venus climbed the professional tennis ladder, he made sure they were always focused on 'family first'.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Richard had already been through so much and survived'

‘It's only the participant who can win the prize'

‘If you fail to plan, you plan to fail'

It's time for a little laughter recess here on Learning For Legacy. In this mini episode, Afam talks us through having fun while working on and building our lives. Find out why it's easier to have fun when we get rid of things that clutter our lives and how saying no doesn't always make us selfish.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The four key lenses that we can look at wealth through are learning, laughter, leadership, and legacy.
• Rest, exercise, and recreation are the fuel towards being able to put in a consistent output towards achieving desired outcomes.
• Clearing out the clutter should be fun because we're getting rid of things that drain our energy tanks. It's about self-care while not being selfish.

BEST MOMENTS 

‘Your energy level will go up or down depending on how much fuel you have in the tank'

‘These things can entangle our focus in the past, present, and future'

One of the pioneers in the field of family enterprise consulting and author of ‘Borrowed from Your Grandchildren', Dennis Jaffe joins Afam on this week's episode of Learning for Legacy. Find out all about what a generative family is and how wealth is generated and transferred in different societies and cultures all over the world. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• A generative family is one which continuously generates wealth, not just in terms of finances but for their inner selves and for the community. 
• Dennis travelled the world interviewing huge families with vast amounts of success who have passed on wealth to the third generation as research for writing one of his books. 
• There are three models across the world, the western style model, another model that spans over 5000 years that values harmony and respecting the wisdom of those who have come before you. Then the third model is the honour culture, which is generally patriarchal and is kept together by a distrust of outsiders. 
• In wealthy families that span over multiple generations you can sometimes see hierarchy structures develop or family councils formed to move everyone in the right direction. You see groups having family business meetings and then having family meetings about family things. 
   

BEST MOMENTS

‘With having sufficient wealth, other questions come up' 

‘You're building a global picture of this research' 

‘Families going into the second generation begin to create governance'

Following on from the previous episode about learning styles, this week on Learning For Legacy, Afam discusses how memory works and how that influences creative thinking. Find out all about the different parts of the brain, what they're responsible for, and what the four Rs of memory are. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• The lower brain controls our instincts, things that come naturally like breathing and our heartbeat. These are functions that happen without us consciously making them happen. The central brain, or the limbic system controls our emotions. The upper brain, or cortex, is responsible for thinking, seeing, reasoning, and creating. The little brain, known as the cerebellum, controls coordination and balance. 
• You will learn quickly when both the left and right sides of the brain are stimulated. Advertisers use this fact to make you remember their product, by using music and words it engages both sides of the brain. 
• Short term memories are stored and triggered using association. Long term memory is retained through repetition. 
• The four Rs of memory are review, registration, retention, and recall. 
• We tend to recall more at the beginning and end of learning periods and less in the middle. This has led some to put forward the idea that we need a break from learning every thirty minutes to an hour. 
• We can learn better by reviewing what we've learned after ten minutes, then reviewing again after a day, and third review a week later, then a final review a month later.
   

BEST MOMENTS

‘That's why you remember those bad songs advertisers use' 

‘The more visual and expressive and almost ridiculous you make an image seem, the better you will remember'

Today we look at one of the 4 key aspects of generational wealth, understanding your learning style. In this episode of Learning for Legacy, Afam will be covering topics such as intelligence, determining your learning style, and the concept of multiple intelligences.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• IQ tests confuse logic with overall intelligence and the historic method of education is not a great indicator of how smart someone is.
• Greater success in learning will come when our combination of learning styles are discovered and we are encouraged towards the balanced development of our abilities.
• Areas of intelligence we have to consider are numerical, linguistic and verbal, musical, kinesthetic or physical, spatial and visual, interpersonal and intrapersonal, creative, and sensory.
• Learning styles are a combination of three things. How you take in information, how your brain organises and processes that information, and thirdly the physical conditions that allow you to learn well.
• How we take in information can generally be broken down into three categories. Visual, what you see or read. Auditory, what you hear. Kinesthetic, physically doing the activity, for example drawing.
• Generally, the left-hand side of the brain takes in linear information, and the right side tends to take in big picture information.
• The four thinking style groups are Concrete Sequential, someone who is good with facts, formula, and rules. A Concrete Random thinker is experimental and tries to solves problems, often in different ways. Abstract Random thinkers are influenced by feelings and emotions and can associate those with information. Abstract Sequential people think in concepts and find it easy to work out what is important.

BEST MOMENTS

‘For everybody it's slightly different'

‘Historically many school classrooms have failed to meet the needs of these different areas'

‘No one thinking style is superior to another'

In this episode of Learning for Legacy, Afam discusses a topic that concerns all of us. We live in a time when mental health considerations in public discourse are as important as our physical health. When we consider the factors associated with mental health deterioration, stress is often the main culprit. How can we take a step back and reduce our own stress?

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• What good is generational wealth if there is no you. You succeed best when the people around you understand your talents, your ability, and your challenges. 
• Your fulfilment comes from your personal vision. Possessing lots of things is not necessarily fulfilment, it's more about the enjoyment of the pursuit of your purpose. 
• The things that you hate can often provide a clue to your purpose, the drive to solve the problems you're passionate about is a strong motivating factor. 
• Be thankful every day. Think of three simple things each day that you're thankful for, it can be anything. This helps to build a positive outlook. 
• Exercise is such an important thing for reducing stress and improving mental health. Getting active and making your body work decreases your stress level and keeps your body and mind healthy.
   

BEST MOMENTS

‘input + output + outlook = outcomes'

‘What do you want the last chapter of your story to say?'

Combining faith and fortune, Wayne Malcolm, also known as The Business Bishop, joins Afam in this episode of Learning for Legacy. Find out all about how Wayne became an entrepreneur and how his faith not only guides his business decisions, but how those decisions benefit others and generate wealth. Join the discussion on the future of business and jobs in a post COVID, 4th industrial revolution world. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• A lot of the progress we make in our life does not reflect our passions it reflects the pressure that we were under. It's not always inspiration, more desperation. There's a point where you need to take control. 
• Many of the people who go on to be financially very well off have had bankruptcy or bad decisions in their past. This shows we can always choose how to respond to adversity. 
• The opposite of employment is not unemployment, it's self-employment. If you can't find a job, then create one instead. 
• Bishop Wayne Malcolm believes that the current COVID pandemic accelerated the inevitable more towards a digital economy and the elimination of the middle man. Skills for jobs will be much less manually focused and more focused on a knowledge-based background. 
• Having a good digital presence is a must have for all businesses. It's the age of convenience and people want things in the way that's easiest for them, and that's digital.
   

BEST MOMENTS

‘If I can alleviate poverty and stress then that's what I was born to do' 

‘I don't think of it as failure, I think of it as feedback'

‘You can't fight new technology, but you can upskill'

Often you hear conversations that pit the rich against the poor. In this episode of Learning for Legacy, Afam discusses how some conversations can unnecessarily create an ‘us against them' mentality. Because anyone can be both poor and rich in one lifetime, he pivots the discussion to instead be one about mindset.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Look at any garden landscape, it takes someone maintaining the garden to keep it looking good and thriving. Our minds and mindset are much the same. 
• We can look at income in three different ways. Linear income, the money we earn from doing a job. Residual or recurring income, this is ongoing such as selling a license. The third is passive income, this comes from creating an asset once like a song or a book with sales that will go on after it's been created. 
• The wealthy in mindset constantly look for opportunities to leverage their money to save their time and hire people to keep things ticking over. By having more time, they can look for more ways to make a difference. 
• The poor in mindset is conditioned to only think they can work for their money, and not how to make it work for them. 

BEST MOMENTS

‘Our mind is the greatest asset we can invest in'

‘The wealthy know that their time is more valuable than money'

Entrepreneur, investor, best-selling author, and host of the UK's number one business podcast, Rob Moore joins Afam in this episode of Learning for Legacy. Find out about Rob's amazing career and how he became a millionaire before the age of forty. Join the discussion on how to teach your kids about money and the value of making mistakes and how we can learn from them. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Rob believes that if you teach children to become entrepreneurial adults and teach them ways to create value for as many people on the planet as possible, then you've given them the skills to be able to build wealth. 
• Generational wealth isn't just your financial capital, but your emotional and spiritual capital too. 
• The universe gives you the lessons you need to grow. The lessons to teach you to own the parts of your life you've disowned. You'll keep getting losses until you learn from them. You choose the meaning in everything that happens to you, whether you know it or not. 
• It's hard to unlearn the misunderstandings we all grow up with about money. Rob believes that teaching your children about not just the value of money but the meaning of it too will benefit them in the long term.
   

BEST MOMENTS

‘Maybe generational wealth is living well, not just financially but emotionally' 

‘Your biggest loss can be your best lesson'
