We had the awesome opportunity of having a conversation with Bill Slappey who is one of the original 'Business as Mission' leaders in Birmingham.   Bill was the first business leader I met in Birmingham that utilized his business as a platform to share the good news and love of Jesus Christ.  Bill discusses how praying for his employees and customers is a leading driving of his success in business.   

Bill founder of Slappey Communications (now IT Voice) a telecom company that has more than 100 employees,  he also owns tons of commercial properties throughout Cabaha Heights and other areas of Birmingham.   Bill has been a mentor of mine for more than a decade now and I am delighted to share his story with you.

Financial strength and physical fitness are two of the largest portions of a healthy 'wealth portfolio'. The greatest threat to main street business leaders in the short and long-term is the direction of retirement investments.

The days of passive 'hand-off' retirement planning and then expecting safe financial returns are likely gone.  This week's IGNITE Birmingham podcast episode we discuss strategies for growing retirement income and physical ability for the long haul.

Yes, that's right wealth is more than just money. The most valuable fortune of all aside from a loving relationship with Christ Jesus is physical fitness and ability.  We are delighted to have Thomas Cox owner of MealFit and Table & Thyme join us to talk shop on nutrition and fitness.

The US financial markets are getting closer to a Bear market (20% drop) as the S&P 500 is now down to a record 9.4% low.  Some major company equities have already slipped by as much as 23% to 29% and Bitcoin value is down 43.55% from its highest point last month.

On a brighter note, Meta the parent company to Facebook and the leading champion of the emerging industry called metaverse just became a very attractive stock price. Moreover, we have identified a digital savings account that yields a 'steady' savings rate of 8% with a minimum deposit of $2,500.

You are winning if your financial portfolio has not lost more than 5 - 10%, especially if you have been consistently investing over the last decade. But now is the time to get your head out of yesterday's glory and into facing the headwinds that are only getting stronger with each passing day.

Thank you so much to our special guests, Rob and Carla Genin of YBL Ministry for sharing your testimony and encouraging words.

COVID, inflation, record-low consumer confidence, US fed spending down, raising interest rates, and other concerns are all market headwinds that could lead to an economic tornado.

On this call we solidify our strategy for dodging economic tornadoes and encourage everyone to remain dedicated to the New Year resolutions and habits that many people set at the beginning of the year. February is often the month that everyone loses momentum and we at IGNITE Birmingham will help you stay on course toward the personal and professional goals you set out to accomplish.

Thank you so much Scott Harwell of the Harwell Law Firm, LLC for your valued contribution!

Today we are providing a nine-month economic forecast to advise on how to direct business, expenses, and investment for optimal return in the expected economic correction to come.  

August 2020 was the last time Kayla and I provided an economic forecast on the IGNITE Birmingham podcast. At that time, we recommended investment into real estate, stock market, and Bitcoin not knowing we were entering into the sixth year of the seven-year Shmita which is the year for 4x harvest.

And this is what happened:
- from Aug '20 through Christmas Bitcoin climbed at its high by 400% moving from $12K to $65K
- the S&P 500 climbed by 42%
- well you know the story behind real estate it was unstoppable
- most every business faired well and very few organizations had significant economic troubles

Until now, Kayla and I have not felt led to provide an economic forecast on IGNITE since August 2020. Today we will discuss why the next 9 months January through October is the time to SAVE as much money as possible and pay off debts. Now is the time to lay investments and cash into safe harbor in anticipation of tribulation and to buy assets that will go on massive discount over the next several months.

Macro-Economic Indicators to watch for:
Stage I: significant drops in valuations
Stage II: announcements of layoffs, bankruptcy, business closures, and foreclosures 
Stage III: defaults on debts owed by governments around the world


This is the third recording in a series of three calls completely dedicated to Shmita:
01-10-22 Will the Market Crash? // Understanding Shmita // Part 1
01-17-22 Eternal Perspective // Understanding Shmita // Part 2   
01-24-22 Nine-Month Economic Forecast // Understanding Shmita  // Part 3
