In “Can You Hear Me Now?” I’m sharing thoughts on listening and how doing more of it can lead to better results. If I mentioned the name Paul Marcarelli – would you have any idea who I am talking about? What if I said “Can you hear me now? Good.” You would likely say “Hey, it’s the Verizon guy…”. A ubiquitous tag line that we still remember from 20 years ago (yes, it was that long ago…). Paul Marcarelli was the Verizon Guy for 10 years, doing over 250 different versions of that ad and my guess is right now […] The post Can You Hear Me Now? appeared first on Robert Gignac.

In “Sticky Is Good” I’m sharing thoughts on resilience and how being more like a postage stamp can be a good thing. “Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.”—Orison Swett Marden I hadn’t thought about this particular quote in a long time and might not have at all had it not been for a unique set of circumstances two weeks ago. We ordered take-out from a pub we’re supporting during these Covid times in Oakville, Ontario , and along […] The post Sticky Is Good appeared first on Robert Gignac.

In “Calming Covid Shocked Clients” I’m sharing thoughts on how financial professionals can readjust their perspective on what is happening in the lives of their clients during times of crisis and anxiety. Let’s take a trip back in time, shall we? Back, way back, to 2020 BC. As in 2020 – Before Covid. It was a simpler time. My wife and I were sitting poolside in Mexico, celebrating her recent retirement after 37 years of teaching. The gentleman next to us said, “Have you been reading anything about this new Coronavirus?” “Cornona-what? No. Never heard of it.” “Seems to be some sort […] The post Calming Covid Shocked Clients appeared first on Robert Gignac.

In “In Transit” I’m sharing some thoughts about movement and moving. The word “transit” is defined as: “the act of passing over, across, or through” and its associated action of “transition” is: “passage from one form, state, style, or place to another”. At any given time, all of us are “in transit” to somewhere or something. On any given day, we transition from being spouse beside the person we wake up next to, to parent of the children we drop off at school, to commuter as we join the workday mobs heading to the office, to employee at the office, perhaps […] The post In Transit appeared first on Robert Gignac.

I’d also like to give everyone an update on why I was so inconsistent with the podcast in 2019. 2019 was an odd year – I hadn’t planned on two heart procedures – heck, I really hadn’t planned on one.

In “Adjusting Your Failure Quotient” I’m sharing a recent event that highlights our need to sometimes approach issues from a different perspective – especially when we are frustrated. Much has been debated over the issues of EQ (Emotional Quotient) and IQ (Intelligence Quotient) and the relative importance of each. As a writer I’d like to add another acronym into the mix: FQ. FQ?

In “Papers Please” I’m attempting to address an issue that applies to almost all of us at one time in our lives. Usually at the worst possible time – the need to have access to important papers. In the Cold War movies – it’s always at a border crossing in the dark of night, fog shrouded. Someone in a uniform appears and asks “Papers Please”. The papers I am talking about – while amounting to ID in some form are those we need during important “life events”. I’m having one tomorrow. I’m having a defibrillator implanted in my chest to […] The post Papers Please appeared first on Robert Gignac.

In “Is Anybody Out There” I’m attempting to address a question from a listener who wanted to know what being a home-based entrepreneur / writer/ speaker is like. The Pros & the Cons. When I made the decision to give up corporate life, being alone was perhaps one of the hardest things to get used to. I was prepared for the rigours of running my own business (not really, some days I’m still not), but I wasn’t aware of how much time I would have to spend by myself. Alone. During my corporate days, socialization was as easy as sticking my head above the cubicle […] The post Is Anybody Out There? appeared first on Robert Gignac.

In “Be It Resolved” I thought I’d kickoff 2019 by talking about goals versus resolutions.  I know, you’re thinking I’m going to say “goals good!” and “resolutions bad!”. Actually there is much more to it than that. In today’s episode I’m likely to only scratch the surface of the topic. That’s ok too – that’s why there will be future episodes (I hope…). As the clock ticked over to start 2019 we are once again on the verge a new period – a new year.

In “What Do We Want? Money!” I’m sharing thoughts about creating a more successful financial future, ignoring the FOMO (that’s Fear Of Missing Out for those of you over the age of 40-something…), determining what our first steps should be and I share a couple of key components that have worked for me. Please don’t think I have this all figured out, I’m still a work in progress, I can and do make financial mistakes, but I try to make fewer of them and of a less significant impact as I move forward. Didn’t stop me from buying juicer though. […] The post Money, Motivation & More – Podcast Episode 26 “What Do We Want? Money!” appeared first on Robert Gignac.

Robert Gignac wants you to know that you are capable of creating the financial future you desire. But you can't create a financial future if you don't know anything about your financial present. 17 years ago, Robert lost his job in IT and realized he was actually doing ok financially. Sure, the money he had accumulated wouldn't last forever, but as long as he generated some income to fill in the gaps along the way, he would be fine. Robert only knew this because he had a financial plan in place. If you are laid off and don't have a financial plan, the only thing you can do is wonder if you're going to be ok. You might get stressed out looking for a new job and panic if you don't find one right away. With a long-term financial plan, you don't have to wonder. You'll know if you're ok or not. But this personal finance stuff is really dull so Robert decided to write a book called Rich Is a State of Mind, to try to convince Canadians that taking control of your money is easier than they might think. A highly sought-after speaker, Robert delivers dynamic keynote speeches and interactive workshop programs to International organizations, financial industry conferences and private clients. He also has a podcast called Money, Motivation and More and a TV show called We Talk Money. Robert joined me in the studio to tell his personal finance story. NEXT EPISODE 56 - Danielle Alexandria

In “On Social Media We’re All Rich” I’m sharing thoughts about why and how social media distorts our concepts about our financial well being. Can paying less attention to what we see there can be better for our us? Ok, I’m not advocating cancelling your Facebook account (well… I wouldn’t be against it… but I get it…). In fact, I said that in conversation with Doug Hoyes on his “Debt Free in 30” podcast. I’ve included a snippet of our conversation as part of today’s message.

What causes us to spend beyond our means? While in some cases it's the result of a job loss or illness, in other situations, it's the Diderot Effect at play. The Diderot Effect is a social phenomenon where the introduction of a new possession that deviates from what you currently own leads to a spiral of even more consumption. For example, when you buy a new house, you don't just settle for the home. You now have to have new furniture, maybe a new deck, and so on. This creates a cycle of spending and leads to debt. How do we, then, prevent ourselves from becoming a victim of this effect? How do we control a spending spiral? My guest today suggests thinking critically about what we see on social media and on television is a great place to start. Robert Gignac works on behalf of advisors and financial professionals to help their clients better understand money management. He's also the author of Rich is a State of Mind: Building Wealth and Happiness: A Blueprint. In his experience, ordinary people become victim of the Diderot Effect because of the deceptive nature of social and digital media: The real world does not exist on Facebook or on Instagram. What that is, is everybody's pictures of their best day all the time. And none of those social networks really show us what's happening in those people's lives when it's not on their best day, when they're lying awake at 3 in the morning because the Visa bill's due and the Visa bill's $1,700 more than they've got allowable to pay it on that given day. He believes that in our attempt to keep up in large part due to our fear of missing out, we go beyond our financial means. In addition, once we've set a new and higher standard of living for ourselves, it's very hard to go back down.

There’s a reason Cash Flow Diary podcast guest Robert Gignac is highly sought as a speaker. He tells us that Rich is a State of Mind! In fact, he wrote the book on that topic. (It happens to be the title of his book, too.) This former computer geek, who grew bored with doing what he was doing, decided he needed to do something completely different. As the universe would have it, he got the opportunity to take a new path. In fact, the universe booted him into action. He just wasn’t sure what that would be yet. The next step was to meet with his financial advisor who suggested he write a book about something Robert knew pretty well, which was the basics of personal finance and financial responsibility. After having a chuckle, he left his advisor’s office and started writing the book that has now sold more than 50,000 copies across multiple countries. What he shares in his book resonates with readers because he states concepts in an easy-to-understand way that is also easy to embrace. Today Robert combines knowledge, passion and visuals to encourage people to take control of their personal finances to have a “Richly Imagined Future.” Robert’s presentations aren’t just about money. By taking the intimidation and dryness out of financial planning, he illustrates the importance of perspective, looking at the horizons and facing challenges in ways that hit readers far and wide in the gut. On stage, Robert paints a picture for audiences that simply make common sense. When asked how he arrived at his understanding of handling his money, Robert says it was through trial and error to get things right. Refreshingly he admits that he has done “dumb things with his money and still does dumb things once in a while.” The difference is that today he knows it rather immediately. Now he helps others avoid those dumb things! Robert’s is a simple plan. The approach will vary person to person, but there are shared behavioral issues in WHY we spend money that we shouldn’t. For example, we FEEL like if we spend some money it will make us feel better about an issue in our life that isn’t making us feel good. Robert says it is self-medicating in a way, and it doesn’t really help us to resolve the issue. In fact, the spending typically makes matters worse. One of the first things we need to do to conquer our money woes is to change our behaviors and mindset around money. We have to stop looking at wealth as something achieved through ill-gotten gains. And we have to stop looking at the neighbors who have the expensive car and huge home as having the answers when in fact those individuals could be financially leveraged to the max and living pretty close to the bone. By living more frugally and below our means today we are doing ourselves a long-term favor far into the future. Robert suggests taking a deep, hard look at your finances and life, asking what are you happy and unhappy with in your life. Then change those things that aren’t benefitting you. There’s more to getting your finances in order, but that’s what you’ll learn by listening to this common-sense interview. Robert even gives some excellent cost-cutter strategies. Learn more.

If we are going to achieve our goals, enrich our lives, and discover new horizons - just how do we accomplish that? "Your Richly Imagined Future” is not just a platitude about being a better person - it is about having a greater impact on the people you associate with and developing a solid financial future at the same time. Material will be drawn from Robert's Canadian bestseller "Rich is a State of Mind", showing the parallels between personal and financial development, and how our concerns about personal finance directly affect our lives and our relationship with the people around us. During the discussion Robert will share with you his thoughts about financial leadership, discuss the myths of “financial happiness”, and provide insights into financial questions you may be thinking about, but don't know how to ask your advisor  (or may simply be too afraid to…). "Your Richly Imagined Future" covers multiple topics including Motivation, Leadership, Fiscal Responsibility and Financial Growth. How you deal with these topics is critical to your ability to deal with life's everyday events with the goal of developing solid long-term relationship with your finances. The four key areas are: 1) Understanding your "Current Reality" 2) Developing a picture of your "Richly Imagined Future" 3) Encouraging an attitude for "Disruption" 4) Sharing the power of "Choice"

My name is Robert Gignac and I am the author of the international best-seller “Rich is a State of Mind” – a novel about personal finance as seen through the eyes of a humorously dysfunctional family trying to come to grips with money, finance and life as it happens over the span of 13 months inside an American family.  I have been speaking to financial services companies across North America (and to their clients as well...) for the past five years and have appeared on a number of radio and TV shows and I am always open to having entertaining conversations about personal finance and the effect our good and bad decisions have on our lives. Llyod is a 55 yr old man who suffered with depression for 36 years and thought about killing himself twice the first time God himself stopped me the second time he sent an Archangel to stop me. So I know I'm here for something he wants me to do.

In this episode Robert Gignac offers advice on financial planning. Be careful to choose financial advisors who don’t have an vested interest in selling particular products. It is also important to find advice from people who really explain the various products and options without assuming that consumers understand the different between annuities, dividends or tax-free retirement funds. Robert explores how your goals and state of mind are the key to real happiness. Just having a lot of cash doesn’t inevitably make one happier. We also discuss the differences in health care systems and investment options for Canada and the US, sharing our own experiences with each system.
