Three Requirements for Permanent Financial Success
I describe two ways to look at using your current resources or advantages you have to pivot your personal life, your business, or both. First is reflection on Darren Hardy's recent Darren Daily episode on Time-Money-Wealth and using 2 of the 3 to obtain the other one. The second is similar and forms the backbone of our strategy at Paradigm Life: Cash Flow-Protection-Wealth. These three must all be in place in the end to ensure success, but you can use two of the three to achieve the desired result. However, history shows in most cases you cannot successfully use just one to get all three. Highlights Balancing life’s spinning plates. Periodic focus on different life priorities. Acknowledging the need for focus in business. Announcement of future in-person events. Key resources in life: time, money, skills. Darren Hardy’s point on resource management. Leveraging money and skills to save time. Personal anecdote: Being too business-focused. Example of hiring help to manage time. Transitioning topics to business strategy. Three financial keys: cash flow, protection, wealth. Time vs financial considerations in business. Importance of cash flow as the heartbeat of life. Cash flow’s role in avoiding poverty. Protection: Insurance and its critical role. Real-life examples of importance of protection. Leveraging insurance for financial stability. Strategic planning and asset management. Comprehensive financial statements for planning. Using Paradigm Life’s client portal for strategy.

Wisdom - Mind Your Own Business, Seriously
A bit of a fun play on phrases, my message here is that the key to growing Agency and preserving freedom in America and the world is to focus on your life and your talents and Master them. Spend less time on the lives of others and more perfecting and sharing your craft, your business with the world. If you're a master at your craft, then you have unlimited power to the Agency, and therefore you don't need handouts and entitlements, AND the government has no power over you. Thus the incredible 250 year experiment is safe, we will remain a free people and a beacon of light for the world to follow. Highlights The importance of focusing on one's own tasks and responsibilities and not meddling in others' business matters Why successful businesses need constant attention and nurturing, and if done right, will not be delegated to others for success Reasons for not venturing into public life because of its invasiveness How societal concerns arise when people forget that they're in charge, not the government The consequences of forgetting that the people elected the government officials, not the other way around The podcast's primary lesson is to mind our own businesses by maximizing God-given gifts and talents The pressing need to combat the rising threat of communism within America's own borders Links and Resources from this Episode Connect with Gary Pinkerton https://www.paradigmlife.net/ gpinkerton@paradigmlife.net https://garypinkerton.com/ Review, Subscribe and Share If you like what you hear please leave a review by clicking here Make sure you’re subscribed to the podcast so you get the latest episodes.

Your Home is Not an Asset, Are you Sure?
Robert Kiyosaki famously put in his book Rich Dad, Poor Dad that your home is a liability, not an asset. He did a great service for those families that struggle with consumption and not saving for retirement, he woke them up. The financially savvy though know better - in a world where fiat currency inflation is the rule, owning the hard asset that you live in is vital to long term wealth.

Rental Properties Always Beat Markets Long Term
This episode is the tale of two families I know, both have strayed from tier 2, betting on themselves and their directly owned businesses and rentals, into the glitter of the market fairy tale. They were convinced to bet on a good story, not themselves and the assets they control. Come learn why that is always a sucker's bet. Highlights The speaker criticizes Certified Financial Planners (CFP) for not guaranteeing results despite presenting precise financial plans. The emphasis on self-reliance in financial planning is celebrated, suggesting it can lead to greater agency. The second client case study, "Franco", underlines the importance of self-reliance. Despite having a substantial real estate portfolio, Franco experienced difficulty maintaining his income when he shifted focus away from his personal performance. The speaker dives into the case of his friend Franco, who heavily invested in real estate for cash flow over the past 15 years. He critiques this strategy given the current market environment and emphasizes the importance of owning hard assets. The speaker introduces the acronym I-D-E-A-L as it relates to real estate investment: Income, Deductions, Equity, Appreciation, and Leverage. He encourages a more strategic and sophisticated investment approach. The discussion moves on to the power of leverage in real estate and appreciation, emphasizing their symbiotic relationship. The speaker explains that when one is low, the other tends to be high, showing the resilience of real estate as an investment. A strong note of warning is given against outsourcing one's financial future to external entities, drawing on examples from specific investment firms. The speaker argues this exposes individuals to unnecessary risk and the 'market fairy tale'. He strongly urges listeners to not give up agency and control of their financial success, reiterating the benefits of self-reliance and individual responsibility in achieving financial success.
