Ride Your Money Wave

Today, I answer a listener email asking, "How do you stay organized while working a 9-5, running a business, and all of the other things life brings?"  (Ok, so that wasn't the exact question, but you get the gist.)  My answer is super non-technological.  Secondly, while it isn't what he asked, I explain my two best productivity hacks I know that allow me to work around 14 hours a day, 6 days a week, and not lose steam or enthusiasm.

Happy New Year!  A new year, a new intro!  In today's podcast, I talk a little bit about how my goals have changed over the year and how specifically, I got the core of one goal wrong - money.  I also give you a tip about how to achieve your goals in 2019.  Hint: it isn't the goal itself that matters, it is how you approach it.

In today's podcast, I summarize and review the book, "10 Distinctions Between Millionaires and Middle Class."  Overall, it was a good book and a quick read.  It reinforces principals that are common among millionaires.  There are a few lines worth memorizing and remembering.  If you are new to the mental game of money, this is a great place to start.

This conversation had me rethink my approach to marketing and how I allocate my marketing budget.  Amy Wilczynski has spent the last twenty years working in PR, going from an entry level temp to the VP of the company.  She now freelances and is busier than ever.  In today's podcast, she shares with us the role of PR, how small businesses can stretch their marketing dollars farther with a PR representative, and the advice her boss told her that has shaped her career for the last twenty years.

Another Ride Your Money Wave Minute podcast, today I talk about showing up to your goals.  After listening to a podcast with small business and social media guru Jasmine Star, she commented about how you have to "show up" to be successful.  It is so easy and comforting to give (and believe) our own excuses.  Instead, show up!  Try.  Fail.  Adjust.  Try again.  With the average American's finances looking more and more bleak, it is so important to "show up" to your life, your finances, and your goals.  Take control, plan, live differently, and achieve more.

Last week, in a discussion with someone, I came to the realization that in order to become wealthy, you have to have three things.  All three are necessary - creating lasting wealth won't happen with just two out of the three AND one of them is much harder to accomplish than the other two.  This realization helped me understand why so few people become wealthy and what I can do to create and maintain wealth.
