I'm 42 years old, and I have $0 saved for retirement. 😬 Most financial advisors would probably judge me and run in the opposite direction. What they don't know is that:
When I told this Derek Coburn, he didn't judge me at all. He APPLAUDED me. Because Derek has a very different perspective on retirement. He even wrote a book about it. Derek believes the whole retirement thing is completely backwards. Save every penny now. Miss your kids' games. Skip vacations. Work yourself into the ground. All so you can "retire" at 65 and do what exactly? Sit around for 30 years? Derek's been a financial advisor since 1998. And he kept seeing the same thing over and over. His clients would finally hit their "number." Finally retire. Then look around and realize their marriage was basically dead. Their body was broken. And they had NO idea what to do with themselves. Meanwhile... They'd spent 93% of the time they'll EVER have with their kids. (This one hit hard. You can see it on my face in the video. 😂) So Derek came up with a different approach. What if you worked 10 more years... But saved 96% LESS money every month? I'm talking $110 instead of $2,400. That extra $2,290 a month? That's Disney World RIGHT NOW. That's WEEKLY date nights with my wife. That's NEVER missing one of my kids' events. Not someday. Today. We went DEEP in this episode:

I was hanging out with homey, Travis, yesterday. He's a seasoned entrepreneur who's owned several businesses. He asked me how things were going. Business is growing. Boys are getting older. Life is good. Yes. Things are moving in the right directon but I'm still digging out of a hole. See, before I started my business, I put myself in a pretty deep financial hole. And while I've made a lot of progress over the last 3 years, I'm still climbing. My wife asks about the house. "When are we...
I was on a Zoom with 12 people who hired me, and I noticed a pattern I had never seen this clearly before. On Monday, we did the kickoff call for the Content on Easy Mode Community. To help everyone get to know each other, we went around the room and did introductions. I didn’t even ask this question, but people started volunteering how they found me and why they joined. Here’s what shocked me: 4 people first discovered me because I presented inside communities they were already part of(and...
I go to the gym every morning. Part of my workout is a 30-40 minute cardio session. I used to do the treadmill, but I hurt my ankle, so I've been on the elliptical. (I'm getting old.) 😢 For the last 3 years, while I do cardio, I've been watching TV shows. I decided to change that up this year. Started last week. Instead of TV shows, I've been watching YouTube videos. All stuff related to my business. How to create better content, how to generate more leads, trends in the social media world I...
