Alright, Note Closers, Scott Carson here, and I'm ready to drop some financial fire! 🔥 I'm talking about building wealth without feeling like you're living in a Dickens novel. We've all heard the same old advice: cut out the lattes, skip the vacations, and live on beans and rice. But let's be real, that's a recipe for burnout, not brilliance.

That's why I brought in the incredible Germaine Foley, a wealth coach who's all about the "Do Both" method. Germaine believes you can build an empire and still enjoy the finer things in life. We're talking about a mindset shift, not a total lifestyle overhaul.

Germaine's philosophy is simple: you can build wealth and enjoy life at the same time. It's about finding the balance, not sacrificing everything you love. Forget the "no-latte" lectures, we're focusing on smart strategies and mindset tweaks.

• Debunk the Latte Lie:
• Cutting out all the fun leads to burnout. Find small ways to treat yourself, because life's too short for constant deprivation.
• Embrace the "Do Both" Mindset:
• It's about finding balance, not deprivation. You can build wealth and enjoy life at the same time.
• Find Your Debt-Busting Style:
• Debt snowball or avalanche? Pick the method that actually motivates you to stick with it.
• Never Leave Money on the Table:
• Your employer's 401k match is free money. Take advantage of it, even if you're still paying off debt.
• Holiday Hacks:
• Get creative to avoid the holiday debt spiral. Host a breakfast, recycle that ugly Christmas sweater, and focus on making memories, not breaking the bank.
• 
  

So there you have it. Connect with Germaine at Germainefoley.com/wealthclass and check out her podcast, "Becoming the Wealthy You"! Let's ditch the broke mindset and get rich!

Alright, Note Closers! Scott Carson's back with a cautionary tale of epic proportions. And for this episode, it's all about the duds.

In this cautionary (and terrifying) case study, Scott dissects a Kentucky note "performing" deal so bad, it's practically a masterclass in what not to do.

Here's what you'll discover:

• Kentucky Note Red Flags: Why Rural Areas Can Be a Disaster Scott explains why he generally avoids Kentucky altogether. It's typically too rural and requires bonds.
• Listing Inaccuracies That Will Make You Scream! Inaccurate listings are already frustrating enough. Learn to watch out for this kind of listings that are shot full of holes like Swiss cheese!
• A Town in Decline! We'll see how Scott avoided this dud by checking the history, the property, etc.
• Scott's Golden Rule of Note Investing (and Why It Matters) Scott will show you his one rule of not wanting to buy something you are not okay owning.
• The Aftermath Find out the final verdict on this Kentucky disaster and how you can apply these lessons to your own due diligence.
• BAD Actors Scott discusses why you have to watch out for greedy sellers who take the common sense out of buying or selling. Don't trust someone who wants to sell you a NPN in NY!

In Conclusion:

So, the next time you're tempted by a note that seems "performing" but smells fishy, remember this episode, channel your inner Note Guy, and avoid the duds! Don't end up with a Kentucky note nightmare on your hands. If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is!

• Tangible vs. Ethereal Collateral: Real estate notes? Houses you can touch. Business notes? Goodwill...and maybe a delivery truck with a bank lien. See the difference?
• Subordinate Liens = Subordinate Rights: Think you're calling the shots? An SBA loan ahead of you means you're just along for the ride.
• Non-Compete Clauses: Worthless Paper? Learn why that non-compete might not be worth the paper it's printed on, and how a vengeful seller can still ruin your day.
• Financial Statement Fantasies: Those P&Ls? Probably fiction. Discover the accounting shenanigans that can turn a profitable business into a money pit overnight.
• The "Expert" Fallacy: Thinking of stepping in to run the business yourself? Unless you're an industry whisperer, prepare for a crash course in value destruction.
• Until Death Do You Part: Business Notes are not all cashflow and dreams. David shares why buyers need to be wary of these types of investments unless they are familiar with the business and ready to step in and help.

Let's be honest: buying business notes is not for the faint of heart. It's a high-stakes gamble where the odds are often stacked against you. While there are opportunities to profit, they are buried beneath layers of risk, complexity, and potential deception. If you're not prepared to roll up your sleeves, get your hands dirty, and potentially lose it all, then walk away. Your portfolio (and your sanity) will thank you. Remember, note investing in all assets can be tough so get the right education and don't just take some "experts" advice!
