Lockdown can be tough on frelationships. Most places to go are closed and many are shut indoors with no excitemement about the future.

For my partner & I we have very little alone time. Spending quality time together is so important and it's not happening right now.

In this episode I talk about how we will change that and flip it into a positive. How we will do things together that we may not have thought about in the past. 

Our aim is to be together for the rest of our lives and we will only achieve that if we enjoy each others company. 
Listen to find out how we plan to create that enjoyment again even during lockdown. 

There are many ways to buy Bitcoin. Some Safer than others, some only available for high net worth individuals and some as easy as using an app on a phone. 

Here I talk through the different ways and the way I will be buying in the future. 
The episode is good for anyone looking to get into Bitcoin and understand the basics of buying. 

Bringing positivity imto peoples lives and helping them, help me. 

In this episode I talk about how to value Bitcoin and why some expect it to hit the 1 Million Dollar price.

I talk about how I see the demand going up and because there is limited supply why this should effect the price positively. 

I believe there are many reasons why the price will increase and because the supply is capped, Bitcoin is the future of money.

I could be wrong and lose a fortune but If I am right then I stand to gain a great deal. Like always this is not me giving investment advise.

Having spoken about investing in Bitcoin I thought it would be good to share with you what Bitcoin actually is.

Basically it is a digital currency that was invented in 2009. The idea was to transfer currency over the internet outside of the traditional systems.
This has resulted in a currency that can not be controlled by Governments, banks or large corporations. 
Bitcoin smashes down barriers, you can transfer it all around the world even if the receiver doesn't have a bank account. 

I believe Bitcoin has the potential to change the world. Bitcoin could actually end up being safer than cash.

There will only ever be 21 million bitcoin and they are released slowly by a process called mining. This means that will be rare and unlike traditional cash will not be diluted like money is when new money is printed and backed by nothing. 

The problem for Bitcoin is the price fluctuates like crazy, It really goes up and down a lot, this scares a lot of people and is a major reason why they stay away.
Also people think of it as an underground currency that is used mainly by criminals and it scares them.

I see Bitcoin as still in it's infancy, Early adopters are buying and if it becomes more poular and the masses start to buy the price could rise a lot. It is not a get rich quick scheme and anyone buying has to beware of the fluctuations.

However there is a possibility that Bitcoin will become a store of wealth in the future just like Gold & Silver. This could be an exciting opportunity as by then more people could be interested in investing.

There are issues with storing Bitcoin that can put people off buying and if you do not store correctly there is a danger of losing everything. I will talk about storing in later episodes.

I must stress that I am not recommending you buy Bitcoin and I am not advising in any way. All I do is share what I do. If you decide to buy or not then that is solely your choice.

I'm back on track and feeling good. Whenever I feel good I make plans and today I made my first plan of 2021.

The way I start my plan is to do what I call a 'Goal activity' This helps me achieve anything I want as long as it is realistic and achievable.
There would be no point in seting a goal to land on the Moon at my age and considering I am not an Astronaut. 

So how do you do it and get what you want?

Firstly start with what you want to achieve, be specific and precise so it is clear.
Then make your goal measurable - set a date you want to achieve your goal. Again be precise and realistic. Give yourself time. when you write down your date write in the present text as if you have already achieved the goal. This sets your brain for acceptance that you have got what you want.

i.e. By 1st July 2021 my beusiness generates £5,000 extra income per month. 

Then state why you want to achieve what you want.

The last stage is to brainstorm and come up with a minimum of 20 ideas that you can do to make your goal happen. Aim for more than 20 but never less than 20.

At the end of the list you will have a great basis of tasks that will get you what you want.

Pick out the easy wins and do them straight away, then plan to cross off a task everyday. The quicker you get through the tasks the quicker you achieve your goals. 

This is an amazing excercise and really works so give it a go

In this episode I talk about how I will be structuring my porfolio mix and allocating funds as a percentage.
I will explain different strategies I will be using and what I am learning about investing in Bitcoin and Crypto. 

Along my mid life journal I want to learn how to invest for the future to protect myself and my family. 
Part of structuring a portfolio is working out thge risk stages that you may want to take on or not.
In this episode I talk about how I will be structuring my portfolio based on the risk I want to take.
I go through 5 risk stages and break down how I would allocate funds for each stage. 
This really is a good excercise to do when starting out with investing for the future. 

I'm feeling fitter & healthier and actually got out of the house for some excersise. Whilst out I had a conversation with my partner which wasn't completely comfortable.
What it made me realise is that we have become quite bored with how our lives are going.
No longer do we get excited about doing things together and the only excitement we have is around work.

In this episode I talk about the power of having a positive mindset and how you can use your mind to create excitement. I talk about how easy it is to get angry with what is going on in the world and how you shouldn't waste time thinking and stressing about things you can not control. 

Investing for my future is something I have put off for way to long. I have wasted so much money over the years. Instead of saving I spent money like it was going out of fashion.
Now as I get older I recognise that at some stage I will retire and I will need a good plan to make sure my lifestyle does not decline.

Nowdays I am learning to make bucket allocations to my wealth.
I have strucured my buckets like this -

Bucket 1 - Security Bucket - Boring low risk assets that will keep me going if I loose everything. Here I have Gold, silver and some cash.

Bucket 2 - Retirement plan A - Here I have higher risk assets that I aim to add to every month and keep hold of. All profits will be re-invested and never touched. This bucket will be held as security just in case bucket 3 & 4 Fail. It will give me diversity.

Bucket 3 - Retirement Plan B - Here I will hold higher risk assets like Bitcoin and crypto currency. Like with Bucket 2 I will add to this every month and keep adding without taking any profit. I hope this will compound up and give me great returns for the future.

Bucket 4 - This will be my dream bucket. Here I will invest again in high risk as bucket 3. However here the investmement will be for things I want. I aim to dream big and invest to make my dreams come true. When my bucket is full I will take out the money and buy what the bucket was intended for.
