There are two basic things you need to design your financial life. In this episode, Dennis shares the two important yet sometimes neglected things we need to design our life.

I define success as the attainment of my calling and assignment from God. Success is living out my purpose. That is big because God never gives us something we can achieve independently. Typically, God gives us something that would require us to tap into the supernatural power to accomplish the dreams He has for us. Finding your why means discovering the purpose that God has for your life. God created each of us with a unique purpose, and it's up to us to realize that purpose. Here are some best practices to find your why:

What happens when faith and finance meet? Our first step in designing is to know whose you are in Christ. If we get serious about designing and fixing our wealth, we must properly understand who we are in Christ. So many of our problems stem from how the world defines us.

Dennis guested at Chinkee Tan's Radio Show, and we discussed my journey as a Filipino Chinese in business, my decision to work full-time as a pastor, and my life as a content creator.

In today's fast-paced world, we often focus on achieving our goals, accomplishing our to-do lists, and constantly doing something. We are conditioned to believe that our worth is determined by what we do rather than who we are. However, the truth is that being precedes doing. In other words, who we are is more important than what we do.   Being is about our inner qualities and characteristics, such as our values, beliefs, and attitudes. Doing, on the other hand, is about our actions and behaviors. While doing is essential, it only reflects who we are on the inside.   Here are some reasons why being precedes doing:

We are diving into the hard part of designing your life, and Thammie helps us navigate this as she encourages us to enter into active preparation mode.

Let this episode encourage and inspire you to prepare well for this year!

A missionary doctor was in our home when he shared the three most important questions people universally ask. His talk though short, was life-transforming for a young person like me.

(or spouse-to-be)   His talk led me on a journey as a fifteen-year-old boy to find the reason for my existence. These questions were not the ultimate life questions, but they made me think about life and my path toward living out my purpose.
