 If you want to make more and do more with your money, equipping yourself with the right tools is necessary. More than this, making, keeping, and investing money can be made possible if you have both the right attitude - the “Yes!” attitude. The equation to “do less” is part of seeing results – to do less of the things you are not good at and divert your energy to the things you excel in.    In today’s episode, I discuss each element in the Yes! Energy Equation from the book I wrote entitled Yes! Energy: The Equation to Do Less, Make More. It is a New York Times Bestseller, an Australian Bestseller, and a bestseller in 14 other categories because of the way it appeals to the general audience, not to mention its timeliness. It applies to everyone regardless of what you do and relevant in today’s competitive society.      The ultimate equation of Yes! Energy isn’t “say yes” and figure out how; it’s “say yes” and figure out who knows how.         In This Episode of Real Money Talks:   Reason

Are you content with the path that your general knowledge is taking you? Do you desire a great change in your life as you intentionally look into the knowledge that you possess but have left unexplored?  Information is readily available with a few clicks on the keyboard, but with this accessibility also comes the issue of data integrity and reliability. Nothing beats an accustomed companion like books, especially concerning dependability and timelessness. At present - regarding marketing, competence, and authority - creating a book is the new calling card as it requires having specialized and specific knowledge about a certain topic or area.   In today’s episode, I talk about the difference between general knowledge and specialized knowledge based on my experience and the book Think and Grow Rich, a reading that has been my constant companion offering me motivation and inspiration since I was 17. I also discuss how you can turn your general knowledge into something distinctive that can make you a game changer

Are you tired of doing the same work over and over again without the possibility of professional growth and progress? Do you have ideas that can potentially impact and eventually change the sector you are in?

These options are fast becoming the trend and direction that takes you to efficiency and success in this digital age.   In today’s episode, I discuss one of the chapters in the book I co-authored with Kevin Harrington entitled Get in the Game. This chapter talks about the steps you can take to become a disruptor or a game changer regardless of the business field you are in. There are four phases that will help you achieve your end goal, and today, I

If you are in the real estate business, it is crucial that you understand the buying patterns of the different generations.

With millennials having a lot of buying power in this age, deciphering their viewpoint will help in your investment ventures. Today’s guest is my partner, Jesse Brewer.

He has been in the property business for a while now and is very fascinated with millennials. On today’s episode, Jesse and I discuss what differentiates the Millennials from the previous generations. Jesse recognizes that several years from now, 3 out of 4 workers will belong to this generation.

If you are a hardworking person who wants to give the best to your family, it is natural for you to go over your monthly expenses and make sure that there is enough money to pay for all your needs. These necessities may include your household utilities, food, mortgage, car loan, college plan, and the like. And every month it’s always the same – you get your paycheck, and after ten minutes of holding your hard-earned money, they’re all gone and put away to account for all the necessary payables.

President Trump has said many times that he will be raising our interest rates while he is in office, and while I don’t believe we will see a significant increase until at least late-Summer or early-Fall, I do believe that we should prepare ourselves before it happens. That is why I’ve decided to sit down with my CFO and Senior Tax Strategist, Weldon Wulstein, to get his opinion on what it would mean for our listeners if President Trump does, in fact, raise interest rates in the United States. Weldon Wulstein joins me on the show today to share his advice, thoughts, and opinions on what might happen when the interest rates go up, how it will affect our currency, and what consumers need to know to properly prepare themselves for this increase.   “Banks are already anticipating an increase in interest rates.” – Weldon Wulstein   In This Episode of Real Money Talks: How rising interest rates may affect consumers credit card debts and car loans.
