I've always said that there are two way to create money to pay down or pay off your creditors: (1) make more money, or (2) cut expenses. One of the ways I've been able to make more money is through word of mouth networking, and many episodes of the Crushing Debt Podcast discuss networking topics. Some episodes that talk about networking in general are 133 (FinCon2018), 33 (Business Card Graveyard) and 17 (Running and Goal Setting). Every 6 months, my community has a garage sale, which is a great place to practice your sales skills - episodes 118, 86 & 68. I've got episodes on living a spectacular life with the Asentiv program - 76, as well as word of mouth networking with Tiffanie Kellog (episodes 48 & 12). Jason Avery with Constructing Success is episode 8. Why I do what I do is episode 5. I also talk about the difference between generating a referral versus an introduction to a referral source. I talk about tips and strategies to network at events and one-to-one. Finally, I talk about a question we'll tackle on a future episode - "feeding" multiple of the same type of referral sources. I hope you enjoy this episode of the podcast. What are some of your favorite networking tips? Please share at Shawn@YesnerLaw.com or www.YesnerLaw.com.
In this week's episode of the Crushing Debt Podcast, we talk with fellow attorney, fellow author, and fellow FinCon2018 attendee Leslie Tayne. Leslie is a New York attorney. In addition to her practice (similar to ours) that covers many aspects of debt elimination, Leslie wrote a book called Life & Debt which you can pick up on Amazon. You can also visit her website at www.taynelaw.com or email her at LTayne@TayneLaw.com. If you live in New York and are being harassed by creditors, definitely contact Leslie's office. In addition, while Leslie's main office is in New York, look for her to expand soon into Southeast Florida, which she also discussed in this week's episode. If you have any additional questions, please contact me at Shawn@Yesnerlaw.com or www.YesnerLaw.com.

When this episode is first released, I will be attending FinCon 2018 in Orlando, so I thought I would do an episode about how I network at a large event. I talk about tips, tricks and strategies to maximize your attendance at an event. What are your goals? What do you want to accomplish? How will you know that the conference was a success? Who do want to meet with? What attendees? What speakers? In addition, I have an exciting announcement - the Crushing Debt Book is out on Amazon! If you have questions about how to network at an event to maximize your return on your educational investment, please contact me at Shawn@YesnerLaw.com or www.yesnerlaw.com.
Rich and Marcus discuss how to make good career decisions. They’ll be sharing some tips and tricks on how to operate from a position of strength when going on job interviews, how following your efforts can lead to better results than following your dreams and how moving to a different city for work can set you up for some huge career moves later in life. Plus, Rich lets you know just how valuable your LinkedIn profile can be. Highlights: Rich pay off his car loan 2-year early. Hey, that's now how any of this is supposed to work, or is it? Your credit score fluctuates negatively at a higher rate when you miss payments, then it fluctuates positively when you’re making timely payments. More info: Your Credit Score: How to Improve the 3-Digit Number That Shapes Your Financial Future by Liz Weston People have trouble with the mindset shift that needs to take place in order to save money or pay off debt. They understand the steps but struggle taking action. "The simpler the plan, the harder it is to follow." - unknown Climbing the ladder at work is the result of getting a plan in place and taking the deliberate action to exceed expectations. Know the value of transferable skills when looking for a job in a different sector. There can be temporary value in taking a job in a different field with lower pay IF you’re using it to pivot toward a more distant career goal. Only 1 in 5 households in the USA will earn over $100,000. Your LinkedIn profile needs to match your resume. Employers are looking at your profile and comparing it to your resume for inconsistencies. The Takeaway: In the short-term, taking steps to better position yourself professionally is another route to better position yourself financially in the long long-term.

Don't forget to check out Part 1 of our discussion, What We Wish We Knew About Money in Our 20s Rich and Marcus kick off the show continuing to build on last week’s episode. Marcus is recapping the financial books he’s read thus far in 2018. It’s important to digest this information and then come up with a plan that’s right for you. Everyone is at different stages in their lives and the strategies that make sense for wealthy parents in their 50’s are going to be different for millennial’s who are just beginning their financial journey. Consider your lifestyle now and the life you want to live as you grow older. It’s never to late to start but you need to begin planning for retirement right now. Highlights: Use your 20’s to learn, 30’s to apply and 40’s to teach. If you made financial mistakes early in life, it’s much easier to recover then if you make financial mistakes in your 40’s and 50’s. In mid life you’re likely making the most money you’ve ever made in your life, but you’re likely spending the most as well. On average, the pay that you make in mid life is the amount of money you will take home for the rest of your career. Most people don’t start saving or considering retirement until they have kids and a family. Money creates freedom. You can wake up and dictate your day, rather than the day dictating you. Make sure you have an emergency money fund. The amount you put in that fund is up to you. But it’s important to plan for the unexpected. The Takeaway: It’s never too late to start to plan for retirement. You want your money to have begun transitioning to working for you; instead of you working for money AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

On the show, today Rich and Marcus will be discussing the 15 personal finance books that Marcus set out to read in 2018. So far Marcus has read 10 of them. The guys share the lessons learned from these books and give you recommendations on which books are most important for your age range. There are different strategies for money management in your 20s, 30s, and 40s and in this 2-part discussion P&B breaks down money management for these three key decades in your life. Memorable Quotes: “Money is not taught in school. Schools focus is on scholastic and professional skills, not finances. Children spend years in an antiquated educational system studying subjects they will never use, preparing for a world that no longer exists.” Highlights: Be more purposeful with the time you have available. Read 10 minutes or 10 pages a day to build your financial education. (Here's how!) If you're limited to one book, Marcus recommends “The Millionaire Next Door”. DINK: Dual Income No Kids. Get rich quick schemes DON’T EXIST. People born into wealth tend to stay wealthy; people born into poverty tend to stay in poverty. Very few move from the middle class into wealth. But it is possible! The average 2-income family today, is worse off than a single income family of a generation ago. (Source:The Two-Income Trap: Why Middle-Class Mothers and Fathers are Going Broke) ICYMI - PB77: Why Millennials Are Facing the Scariest Financial Future ft. Michael Hobbes Key Takeaway: Reading books about different perspectives on money management and investing can provide you with the knowledge you need to make smart financial decisions throughout the different stages of your life.
