On today's episode we discussed comfortability vs profitability especially amongst the younger generation. A great quote as it relates to Investing from Robert Arnott "What is Comfortable is Rarely Profitable.” speaks to this concept. We discussed how to exchange comfortability for profitability when your younger and this can help you in the long run because the one thing you don't get back is time. This can be done via multiple avenues for example decide which property would work best for your specific situation and house hacking to save you money to invest, save and begin a path towards financial freedom.

Steph on the edit which means it got done late, @misterbottles been bending corners in the foreign, popping Moet Rose Imperial, eating, sleeping, forgive me it's Daddy's weekend! My brother @onamission_27 and I chopped it up about what a blessing it is to live in the land of milk and honey, a.k.a 'Merica this Juneteenth. We saw record low interest rates, remote job opportunities, PPP loans, mortgage and rent forbearance and other seemingly once-in-a-lifetime events. These programs are not going to be the panacea for life. We got into a lot of core concepts that we see defining what seems to be the "Calm before the Storm". Some people in the US made more money in unemployment than they did working. Some people haven't paid rent or mortgages for a year...tune in today for solutions to get yourself out of these kind of binds or better yet, not land in them in the first place hopefully.

On today's episode we talked about Coaching vs Consulting. We discussed the biggest difference between coaching and consulting. Typically consultant holds the answers, while a coach helps their client find their own answers. Consulting requires that the consultant have expertise in the area that the client seeks to learn and grow. A coach's role isn't always to provide the answers. A coaching goal does not need to have specific knowledge or experience in the topic area that the client wishes to improve. The coach instead offers guidance in the changes needed, tips or strategy development, goal attainment, and accountability process, which is effective. We talked about examples as it pertains to both roles from our own life experiences and much more.

Life on a Mission Wednesday's with more of that free game listeners across the world are soaking up. What Is Buy and Hold? Buy and hold is a passive investment strategy in which an investor buys stocks (or other types of securities such as ETFs) and holds them for a long period regardless of fluctuations in the market. An investor who uses a buy-and-hold strategy actively selects investments but has no concern for short-term price movements and technical indicators. Many legendary investors such as Warren Buffett and Jack Bogle praise the buy-and-hold approach as ideal for individuals seeking healthy long-term returns. KEY TAKEAWAYS Buy and hold is a long-term passive strategy where investors keep a relatively stable portfolio over time, regardless of short-term fluctuations. Buy and hold investors tend to outperform active management, on average, over longer time horizons and after fees, and they can typically defer capital gains taxes.

Life on a Mission Wednesday's with more of that free game listeners across the world are soaking up. ACTION ITEMS: !!!!Build your credit score!!! If you have a bad, low or fair credit score, you can see a lot of benefits to this score immediately by doing the following: 1. Pay what you owe: Work with a credit professional, do your research on how to deal with accounts in collections, whatever you need to do, you need to pay what you know you owe. Creditworthiness is built on this principal for most people in the world- will you pay your debts under the terms laid out before you? When I haven't done this, I became "delinquent" which was a "delinquent" attitude. As a responsible father, I pay my creditors on time, typically earlier and sometimes for more than what they anticipate. Take the weight of responsibility seriously when you're looking for OPM to finance your life. 2. Get a credit builder account: We strongly recommend secured credit cards such as Self and OpenSky to begin building your credit score with small amounts of money. 3. Get a serious credit monitoring toolset: We strongly recommend myFico for this. Your credit should become part of your business and thus a business expense, a professional toolset is mandatory in my opinion. CreditKarma and the like are too limited.
