The Practical Wealth Show

"Do something you love, something you are good at that people will pay you for, and you will never work a day in your life." -Jay Jones.

In this episode, Jay Jones joins Curtis to talk about his book New Black Wallstreet. Jay Jones is a serial entrepreneur, author, coach, speaker, and podcast host of "Black Entrepreneur Blueprint." He works with Black entrepreneurs worldwide to help them launch, build, and grow successful, sustainable businesses.

Jay shares that technology, mainly e-commerce, has nowhere to go but up in the future. Thus, he wrote his book to help uplift black businesses and introduce them into the e-commerce space. However, he always reminds people that business thrives on combining passion with problem-solution ideas. Business, as he perceives, should not have to be sexy, it just needs to be profitable.

Curtis's motto is that what you learn today and how you position yourself will determine your future financial well-being 5, 10, 20 years from today. To learn more about how to manage your wealth in a practical way, visit www.practicalwealthadvisors.com

What is the true definition of wealthy? Why is there a need to shift to a banker's mindset to achieve more cash flow?

Gary Boomershine, the owner of RealEstateInvestor.com joins Curtis May in this episode. In 2005, Gary started to build and grow his real estate investing and property buying business. He identified the idea for his business after a family legacy in the real estate niche and a long successful career in entrepreneurship and developing technology markets.

He saw an obvious potential to leverage people, processes, and technology to obtain a competitive advantage in a dynamic and dog-eat-dog economy. Gary believes in a principle when acquiring a property: He said, "Love the cash flow, not the property." There are a lot of interesting topics such as The Tortoise Game, the light bulb, and the three buckets of cash.

Curtis's motto is that what you learn today and how you position yourself will determine your future financial well-being 5, 10, 20 years from today. To learn more about how to manage your wealth in a practical way, visit www.practicalwealthadvisors.com
