• Episode Details

• Tim and his family are now living in a 39-foot RV they purchased a year ago. They're currently traveling while working full time. 
• Tim is a business coach helping executives and owners grow and reach their fullest potential. He’s always had a passion for coaching other people. 
• He is also an author, having finished his first novel. His writings are mostly about modern-day parables and fictions inspired by real-life events. 
• Along with his family, he runs a foundation helping ministries expand their teachings.  
• Season 2 will focus on living a nomad life similar to what they have right now. 

• The 2008 financial collapse has affected Tim's family, spiritual, and marriage lives. 
• They went homeless for a season—which he will talk about next season—and filed for bankruptcy. 
• He still speaks with his investors and creditors and continues to repair the scars from the financial struggle they all experienced.  

• The challenges Tim experienced had strengthened his relationship with God and his spiritual foundation. 
• His family is now more comfortable and confident in facing other hardships. They now have greater spirituality and connection. 
• They learned how to avoid doing things to impress other people and accumulate excessive things. It allowed them to lead a simpler life. 

• The Storehouse Principle: Just like what was taught in the Old Testament, set aside money for good deeds or for the Lord. It's different from having a savings account: a savings account is fear-based while having a storehouse is faith-based. 
• The Concept of Stewardship: Live as stewards rather than being owners. When you have a stewardship mindset, you take good care of the blessings you have and share it with your community. It gives people an area of humility.

Money makes the world go 'round. However, among Christians, there has always been an inherent discomfort surrounding the topic of money. We tend to avoid financial conversations as if it's taboo. This may come from the fact that money can divide us and cause us to unfairly judge one another. Aside from our relationship with others, money may also affect and compromise our values.

In today's episode, Tim discusses his thoughts on money and our relationship with it. He also talks about how we can use it for the greater good without allowing it to control us.

This episode is for everyone who wants a better perspective of money, regardless of our struggles or beliefs about it. Tune in to this episode to learn how to get off the money roller coaster!

1. Learn how you can use money as a tool without letting it interfere with your relationship with others, yourself, and God.
2. Discover your money mindset.
3. Find out how to become a steward and not an owner.

• Episode Details

• Alex Keaton, a cold-hearted businessman in the sitcom Family Ties, was Tim’s role model.
• Ever since he was young, he already knew he wanted to become successful and earn money.
• Tim read an article about the highest-paying jobs and found out that four out of five were engineering positions.
• He tried to become an engineer, even if it wasn’t a fit with his personality and skills.
• He started a company while in college and made more money back then.

• The mentality of your family impacts your attitude and relationship toward money.
• Tim had an above-average money mindset growing up.
• He thought he should avoid being too good at what he does.
• Your mindset is variable, and everyone has a different experience with money.
• Some could have an abundance mindset, whereas some could have a scarcity mindset.

• Reflect on whether you control money or it controls you.
• Those who have the least money think about it the most.
• We have to remember that money is just a tool to exchange goods and services. It doesn’t have magical powers.
• Money sometimes becomes a measurement of our success.
• Our culture wants us to spend, accumulate debt, and do it all over again.

• Ask yourself how your money mindset could affect your relationship with family, friends, and your spouse.
• A lot of people can’t help but compare themselves with the people surrounding them.
• Your friends can affect your money mindset, as well as how you spend your money.
• Money can also affect your business relationships, networks, and partners.
• As written in Matthew, “You can’t serve two masters. You can’t serve both God and Mammon.”

• In business partnerships, people with different money mindsets could have conflict.
• Although people sometimes fight over a lot of money, it’s more common to have conflict whenever money is tight.
• It’s difficult to bring up the topic of money in spiritual places.

• Tim had always thought he could just make more money.
• It’s possible to fool yourself into thinking you can always spend money now because you will make more in the future.
• Tim experienced problems with his wife because she would hide money from him in case he spent it all on the business.
• You could also sometimes think you have a special privilege to earn money and that you deserve more.
• An entitlement to money can lead to a lack of motivation to save.

• Remember that you shouldn’t try to impress other people with possessions.
• Tim used to pursue money to buy more and impress others. Now he lives in an RV with no real estate and low overhead costs.
• Comparing your financial status is a very shallow and empty place to be in.
• There is no long-lasting peace and happiness in comparing yourself with others.

• Despite having a relationship with God, Tim felt he still chased money and was attempting to serve both God and Mammon.

• We are called to be stewards, not owners.
• Society convinced us that we have to own the most possessions.
• However, once we pass away, we can’t bring any of our things.
• We only have the honor to take care of things while we live, not own them.
• Being a steward rather than an owner brings more significance and fulfillment.

• Putting aside a dollar every time it comes into your house is a practical application that can grow your financial picture.
• Live off less than what money you have coming in.
• The difference with the storehouse and savings is that you are putting it aside to take care of it.

• Tim is now living an essentialist lifestyle, owning just what he needs.
• He and his wife have few possessions.

• God didn’t want Tim to treat Him like an ATM machine and instead wanted him to have a relationship 24/7.
• For entrepreneurs, blessings have very little to do with your own effort. It doesn’t mean you’re not a hard worker or smart—it simply means that we acknowledge Him.

• God gave them seasons from miracles, to manna, to blessings.

• The Big Short (2015)
• Episode Details

• The late ‘90s and early 2000s were a phenomenal time for business.
• The 2000s were part of a bubble that burst; many things were happening at once.
• Back then, Tim was consulting, doing training, and coaching on business leadership.
• This bubble burst and had an impact on their business and caused a downturn in their personal finances.

• After that period, he started looking at other ways to develop wealth and create income. 
• He began looking at investing in and building a real estate company.
• He had a background in real estate because his family held some rental properties.
• The company eventually grew fast, and their thought process was to build it to last.

• Real estate always comes into play when people talk about getting wealthy and making money.
• People started asking him questions when they saw his success.
• Answering people’s questions and inquiries led to a coaching business.

• They spent a lot of money investing in ways to generate leads for both buying and selling real estate.
• They realized their leads wanted to sell properties in geographic areas Tim did not want to do business. So, they started selling those leads.
• It ended up as a lead generation business that grew to a nationwide business.

• Tim and his family went on to stretch their lifestyle, which he now realized was wrong.
• Their businesses were thriving, but they saw a lot of clues of the economy being in trouble during that time.
• They thought they had positioned themselves to be diversified enough, but they didn’t.
• Listen to the full episode to find out the clues Tim and others saw.

• It was a massive crash. There was a debt crash, and the banks crashed. They thought the downturn would be shorter than it actually was.
• For Tim, the wheels of their business started slowing down. They weren’t positioned well for that situation.
• Throwing debt at a business that is sinking is never good.
• He and his partners during that time were just trying to survive on their own. 

• What they found challenging was how slowly they changed their lifestyle until debt started piling up.
• Tim’s proverb in business and life: “Thou shalt not fool thyself.” But he betrayed that because he thought he could still turn things around.
• It was difficult for him to admit that he got into a situation where he didn’t know what to do.
• Their income went down to nothing. Tim, fortunately, had help from his family and parents.

• Creditors and debtors started coming after them for mortgage and company debt.
• In 2011, they filed for bankruptcy. The sole reason was to attempt to stall foreclosure.
• He thought he would eventually make some money and pay it all back.
• Going into the court with his wife for the bankruptcy proceedings was one of the lowest points of his life.

• He’s thankful that it showed a side of him as a father, husband, and a believer of God.

• They eventually moved toward foreclosure of their home because they were not making payments.
• They began preparing for not living in their home and being “homeless.”
• They put a few items in a storage unit and loaded up their 2002 Honda van they owned outright. 
• They then left home after they were served an eviction notice.
• Since that time, they’ve been traveling even now that they have adequate financial resources.
