?? Money..

I'd be lying if I said I haven't struggled with money...

Over the years I've definitely paid my dues (and taxes) from mistakes made and opportunities missed.

Looking back now, I cringe at the seemingly countless little things I could have done differently over the years. Things that collectively would have made my life easier, my relationship with money stronger and more profitable.

But overall, I guess I can say I did my best in the moment...

I just didn't know - what I didn't know.

And THAT is the crux of the issue, because ignorance is NOT bliss. Especially when it comes to the topic of money.

What you don't know, can hurt you - and it will cost you.

The irony is that the rules of how this game is played have never been more accessible. Between YouTube, Google and the ability to connect with almost anyone on the planet - the answers are out in the open for the taking.

But even with that being the case - it still can be challenging to wade through all the content and find signal amongst the noise.

I've dedicated an immense amount of time, effort and money over the last twenty years to learn the art and science of personal finance.

And here's probably the #1 most important thing I can share with you that I wished I had learned sooner...

At all cost - do whatever you have to do to skip the trial and a error phases and learn from those who have already accomplished what it is you want.

Whether that be hiring a coach, buying a book, or enrolling in a course - whatever the cost - it will more than pay you back in time and opportunities gained.

Having been in the space of business development and investing for so long - a common mistake I see people make is that they are too casual about their time.

They just seem to let the busy-ness of the day distract them from the fact that those hours they are burning are never coming back... ever.

I know it's not a comforting thought - but you and I DON'T have time to just "figure it out".

Every minute wasted in the weeds of confusion has a ZERO NET Return on our most precious asset - TIME.

Now, I actively seek out every possible source for speeding up my results. I'll gladly pay for the council of those who have proven results in the areas I'm looking to improve in.

Here's another quick tip to know whether you're truly doing your best when it comes to improving your knowledge and skills - or if you've slipped and mismanaged your priorities...

Ask yourself - "When was the last time I invested more money into my personal education than what my TV cost?"

It's worth considering.

For myself, I take 5% of everything I make and put it aside into a personal investment account. Money specifically for investing in the highest return asset class one can possibly invest in - knowledge.

The truth is, over the years I wasted a lot of time chasing shiny objects. The latest stocks, the next business idea... whatever. Because I associated having more money - with having to do more things.

Some projects worked out great, others not so much. But it wasn't until I learned about the phycology of money, and began changing the actual thoughts, beliefs and behaviors I'd built around it - that I began to see true lasting results.

Everyone's heard the stories of rockstars, athletes and lotto winners gaining millions and then being broke only years later.

That's because they were using a faulty internal operating system. They had new wealth - but old habits and thinking.

If you want to speed up your learning curve and upgrade your own approach to money - then I invite you attend a live online workshop I'm hosting later this month.

I have a special guest joining me, a USA Today Best Selling Author and subject matter expert who has been teaching on these topics for over 30 years.

In fact - it was one of her books that was a significant catalyst for my own paradigm shift when it comes to financial wealth.

There is no monetary cost to attend, but it does require your investment of time. We'll likely go for about 2 hours - so if you're not prepared to dedicate that time block to personal development - then disregard this invite and download some audios that you can listen to while driving instead.

Those who do attend will be taking a lot of notes from the wealth of knowledge that my co-host will be providing and they'll also receive downloadable templates that I use to run my personal finances (+ other bonuses)

Here's the info, maybe I'll see you there.
