Ready Investor One

Honoring my Mother and sharing the greatest gift I could have ever asked for from her.

Updating you on my hiatus from the Podcast and closing the loop on our Financial Advisor conversation from episode 163. 

A quick primer on what services a professional Financial Advisor provides, why you might use one, and what the distinction of Self Directed Investing really is. 

I'm joined by Craig Curelop, the author of The House Hacking Strategy: How to Use Your Home to Achieve Financial Independence. He's a really impressive real estate investor who quit his job by age 26, became a millionaire by age 27, wrote a book in partnership with BiggerPockets.com and is crushing it as an agent and investor in CO.  Craig briefly shares his story then we dive right into what's happening in the real estate market and talk about what it's like to scale a business. There's something for everyone in this episode to find inspiration. You can find Craig @thefiguy on Instagram and https://www.thefiteam.com/

Bryce Steward is the author of the new book House Hacker's Guide to the Galaxy. Bryce retired from his teaching career at 35 and is now a multimillionaire by the age of 41. All of this starting from $55K in debt after he graduated from college and earning a teacher's salary.

This episode is the 2nd installment in the life plan. These are a set of planning exercises I went through in late 2020/early 2021. Some of these exercises I've done before and some of these exercises are completely new to me. I've found them so incredibly helpful that I had to share them. I'm starting to incorporate the life plan exercises into my personal/business life and to my mastermind/my freedom foundry community.

I've been experimenting with new morning routines to keep my anxiety at bay and make more progress toward my big lofty and audacious goals.    The scales have been removed from my eyes and now I see.

If there's one thing we can all agree on, it's that 2020 has been a crazy year! While we've all faced unexpected challenges, we've also kept going — doing things we never imagined, and learning what we're made of. 

I want to take episode 149 as an opportunity to reflect on 2020 and plan for 2021. Changes that happen in life are really scary. But if you deal with it and do what you fear, it will disappear. The change won't disappear, but your fear of it will. In fact, I've come to expect change and often look forward to it, because I know whoever adapts the quickest will be at an advantage.

How to combine 2 creative investing strategies to reduce management headaches and increase your cash flow

If there was ever a year that laughed at our plans it was 2020. I think very few people made it through 2020 without having to entirely rethink their plans, goals, job, business, or travel plans. Yet I still maintain that creating goals is incredibly important because it sets intention and focus. And there are undoubtedly going to be times when you’re going to have to recalibrate or just completely rethink all of your plans. Life happens and you adjust. That could be the motto for 2020. Episode 147 explores what I'm doing currently and for 2021.
