Daily Meeting - Personal Finance 14: Tablets and Giving to the Church

The Clay Tablets from Babylon

https://financialducksinarow.com/1458/the-clay-tablets-from-babylon-the-richest-man-in-babylon-pt-8/

• Two clay tablets are always more valuable than 10 bags of gold
• Your debts should be paid 20% of your earnings; take care of your debtors in proportion
• When you repay your debts, you change the narrative to whomever you just paid
• If you have money troubles right now and have been that way for longer than 6 months, you are very inconsistent 
• Inconsistency comes from a warped self-view of yourself
• Money issues is a heart issue
• To repay your debts is equivalent to always being on time
• There’s no such thing as procrastination; it’s just not high on your priority list
• If you’re broke but are always on time, you can fix your money issues in an instant
• The more polarized you are, the more self aware you are and the more in an instant can you change
• It is polarity that does work

Financial Breakdown

1. 10% — Save
2. 20% — Debt
3. 70% — Cost of living

• You cannot activate God’s blessings by giving to God but not give to yourself 
• If you’re whole for God but not whole for yourself, you don’t have a ministry 
• Faith is for moving forward. Testimony is for looking back. Praise is for both.
• You need faith to get started and faith to keep going
• Your testimony is your harvest
• Praise to go forward, or you will run out of energy and praise to look back.
• Psalm 3 (KJV)
• You look back to remember God got me through something.

Daily Meeting - Personal Finance 13: The Camel Trader of Babylon

You Are A Slave

• Are you a free man or are you a slave? (Question posed in the book)
• You are a slave. The system is designed that way.
• The system is designed that way because you are a slave.
• This slavery has nothing to do with the color of your skin or the amount of money in your bank account.
• The only thing your life has come to is are you a slave or are you free.

Chapter Recap from Grace Sandles@Grace Sandles 

• Dabasir told the his story of when he was younger and started to owe debts and couldn’t pay them.
• He became a slave to Syria.  
• He indulged and bought stupid stuff when he had money instead of being smart with his money.
• When he was taken as a slave, they were going to make him a Eunic.
• “How can you call yourself a free man if your should has brought you to this?” - This is what the wife asked him.
• He set apart from the other slaves because he was born a free man.
• If you make no effort to repay, you have the soul of a slave.
• Your debts are your enemies.
• The wife allowed him to leave to go back to Babylon and pay his debts.
• The debts were his enemies but the people he owed were his friends.
• Where determination is, the way can be found.

• Money has found its level in you, and that money is equivalent to your slavery
• Dabasir was born a free man like all of us, but debts made him a slave
• Slave has always meant that “I am in debt to the one that lent money, so I owe services until the debt is paid.”
• If you are generating any type of service for income, you’re a slave
• As soon as you take someone’s money, you owe them
• If you have money but have to continue to protect whatever you have, you’re a slave
• New money goal: Have so much money that money’s not even a goal
• “How can you call yourself a free man when your weakness has brought you to this? If a man has in himself the soul of a slave will he not become one no matter what his birth, even as water seeks its level? If a man has within him the soul of a free man, will he not become respected and honored in his own city in spite of his misfortune?”
• How can you call yourself a free man when your harvest says otherwise?
• If you don’t own the pot of gold factory, but you’re flipping the pots, you’re a slave
• “If you want to make six-figures stay a week ahead of people. If you want to make seven-figures stay a month ahead of people. If you want to be a billionaire control the industries the six and seven figure people dominate.” - Antonio T. Smith, Jr 
• You’re never going to make yourself wealthy as a slave
• It wasn’t until Dabasir paid his debts to people that he became a free man
• If you have any money that you have to pay out of your pocket, you’re a slave
• Don’t ever believe in your retirement again

How to Get Out of Slavery

• I will have no other debt that other people don’t pay for
• The goal is to generate income, not make
• There are 3 ways to exist in money:

1. Trade time for money 

• 96% of the world is controlled by 1% of income earners

1. Your money makes money

• 3% of the world is making income get income

1. Multiple streams of income (MSI)

• 1% of the world has MSI that works

Four Ways to Exist in a Capitalistic Society

1. Have a job
2. Be on welfare
3. Be a criminal
4. Be a prisoner (jail)

• Every great country was invented from free labor
• Unearned income is the holy grail of it all in a capitalistic society
• It’s not meant for you to win; it’s meant for you to be a product in a capitalistic society 
• Your job is to be someone else’s unearned income, and the only way to flip that is you making your money a prisoner
• If they can’t put you in jail, they’re going to put you in debt slavery
• They don’t like you educated; they like you entertained

• Be not afraid to hold someone to their collateral
• At some point, you’ve got to acknowledge that some people are in your life to drain your money
• When someone is reaching out to you, your job is to grab and use more muscles than the person reaching out
• Unstable people can only stabilize themselves one way, by grabbing on to a stable person and destabilizing them
• You can’t be a gold lender when you always need gold

Defending Your Last Name

• Your last name is not your last name; it is your corporation
• You need a financial person in your life to tell you to chill out during bad time
• You can’t chill out if you haven’t put up your defenses properly
• If you don’t know who you are, it’s a blessing, because you now get to decide who you’re going to be
• Wherever God is, that thing is blessed, and whatever God blesses grows
• If your finances aren’t blessed, God ain’t in it
• Your finances is like a 5 gallon bucket of mud
• To clean out all of the mud, it’s going to take 1000 gallons of fresh water, so you can’t get weary

• The Universe don’t bless people by themselves.
• The blessings you try to get by yourself are limited blessings.
• We all need someone to tell us “I’ve been there, don’t do that.”
• Your defense needs to be set up.

• Your real problem is that you don’t know who you are. Your identity has been mistaken. You have been bamboozled. You have been run amok. You don’t know that God ain’t supposed to be broke.
• Be mad at your finances, but don’t take it any further.
• What you do with your anger…….

Daily Meeting - Personal Finance 11: Creating Wealth

The Fifth Law of Gold

• Gold feels the man who would force it to impossible earning or who followers the alluring advice of tricksters and schemers or who trusts it to his own inexperience and romantic desires in investment.

• Nice people who are smart are the worst people with money
• Stay away from get rich quick schemes
• You win when you buy and when you sell
• Find an intelligent vehicle for your $1,000/month

1. Every investment on the planet has extra expenses.
2. If you take money out, it’s coming out with a fee.
3. Make sure the fees are reasonable when investing.

• Do it anyway
• You’ve never created wealth from something that didn’t cost too much
• Once you get your money, your job is to move the money.
• If you don’t move the money, you’ll lose the money.
• Have a bigger plan in sight
• Know how much the plan cost
• Go do the research and find out how much it costs to put down (assume 20%)
• Ex: Want to use $1,000/month to get a 10 unit apartment complex
• The cost to put down is $35,000
• It’s going to take 40 months to get the 10-unit apartment complex
• If you have $25,000, put that $25,000 into a vehicle that will yield you money, then take that money along with the $25,000 you already have, use $35,000 of it and buy your 10 unit apartment complex. Then take the remaining $15,000 and put it back into the vehicle to yield more money.

Daily Meeting - Personal Finance 8 - Multiply Your Money:

Law 2: If you find good employees for your money, the Universe will continuously make that money multiply.

• Go get the $100,000 but can you keep it?
• This is what agents make more than athletes. Athletes are the product and agents are the brain.
• You have investing in your DNA
• The laws of money has nothing to do with you. Get yourself out of the way of your Money.

10 Reasons To Invest Your Money

1. You want to grow your money

• Go back to when you were a kid and playing marbles to get other marbles. 
• Learn how to multiply your money.
• The next time there is a sporting event in your area, go spend $100 and get some flip-flops from a manufacturer and at the next sporting event, sell them to those who are wearing heels. You can sell water for $2.00.
• The reason why you don’t have as much money as you want is because you keep trying to make money.
• Your money is supposed to make money.
• The law of money doesn’t involve YOU
• The only time you spend your money is when you take charge of it.

• If you let your money make money, your money is in charge of your money.
• Once you work for your money, you are suppose to give that money profitable employment.
• You not supposed to give away your income, you are supposed to be giving away money from your OVERFLOW!
• If you don’t plant any seeds, God can’t be good to your seeds.
• Just cause you good doesn’t mean God is going to bless you with good money.
• You can be good but if you haven’t tilled the ground, planted good seeds and cared for it, you are not getting blessed.
• You are planting in things that look good but die quickly.
• You can’t have all the gold. You are supposed to know that some of the gold goes to someone else.
• Lack of money is a heart issue.
• Good people do good things when they have money.

• What can I do with what I have now?
• Take a dollar and go make $1.10. If you do that 10 times in one day, you have $2
• Start somewhere.
• Take $200 and go get to $75 a month.
• Not at one time.
• Take $200 and find a service that someone needs. (The more people who need it, the richer and faster you move)
• Then ask, “What can I do to get better at using this $200?”
• If people don’t need it, it’s not fertile soil and God isn’t going to bless it.
• Now you need to increase your ability to get better at that thing.
• If you had your last $50 dollars to change your life right now, what would you spend it on? - Post on your social media every three hours until you get an answer.

• If you need to find fertile soil, stop trying to find it and let people tell you where it is.
• Just because you are forgiven doesn’t mean that harvest has been erased.
• You must have at least 7 streams of income
• Being the best person in the wold means nothing if you haven’t mastered money.

Million Dollar Idea for Sandra

• Start coaching and motivating people to take good notes in the chat.
• Go on youTube and get those notes too
• Take the link from the class
• Take the title, notes, chat and link
• Go to fiverr.com and have them right a book for every single video

Daily Meeting - Personal Finance 6: Why Savers Are Losers

• Money is at an all time high and if you can’t pay your bills the way you wish, you don’t understand the rules of money and wealth.
• It doesn’t take talent to learn a discipline
• When you’re too right too early, no one pays attention to you
• The only acceptable reason to save money is when the price of the thing you’re wanting to invest in is too high
• When you have to choose of 2 evils, always choose the worst one
• The worst one will wake you up and keep you from being dependent on what has been an illusion to you
• The worst one in this case is investing
• If you don’t have the money you need, it’s because you have too many expenses and haven’t increased your ability to earn
• You need to cut your expenses immediately 
• $576 over 3 years for a car note cost Antonio his 30s
• Money has no value if it’s not moving
• Moving is the new “gold backed” standard
• Hard, income-producing assets are the new gold
• If you’re saving money, save enough until you can put it into real estate

Why Savers Are Losers? | Robert Kiyosaki | Success Resources

https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=A38lkt5Zo8M

• 100% of the time, when the government tells the masses to do something, it never works
• If someone is offering you unearned income, take it
• Whenever the bank offers you to get more credit, take it
• It’s better to borrow money when you do not need it, because when you need it, they won’t give it to you
• Never take a contract from somebody you’re doing business with
• Contracts are always better when they come from your home court
• DO NOT get involved with hyperfunds
