Certified Financial Planner: A CFP is the creme de la creme of "financial advisors" Summary: In this episode, David Pere discusses the importance of choosing the right financial advisor and the potential pitfalls of working with the wrong one. He emphasizes the need to look for certified financial planners (CFPs) who have the necessary qualifications and expertise. He also explains the difference between fee-based and commission-based advisors and why fee-based advisors are generally more aligned with the client's best interests. David warns against financial advisors who try to sell products without considering the client's specific needs and goals. He concludes by offering recommendations for finding trustworthy financial advisors. Takeaways: Not all financial advisors have the client's best interests in mind, so it's important to choose wisely. Certified financial planners (CFPs) are the most qualified and knowledgeable advisors. Fee-based advisors are more likely to prioritize the client's needs, while commission-based advisors may be motivated by selling products. Avoid advisors who try to sell products without considering your specific financial situation and goals. Do thorough research and ask for recommendations to find trustworthy financial advisors.

This week Hilary Saxton explores the complexities of decision-making, discussing the reasons why people often struggle to make choices. She looks into the psychological aspects of indecisiveness, including fear of failure, decision fatigue, and the influence of personal stories. Hilary points out the importance of understanding one's personality type and the impact of habits on decision-making. She provides practical strategies for overcoming indecisiveness and encourages listeners to take action towards their goals.   Takeaways Not making a decision is a decision in itself. Unclosed loops in our minds can be distracting. Fear of failure can become a habitual response. Understanding personality types can aid in decision-making. Decision fatigue affects our ability to make choices. Eliminating basic decisions can free up mental energy. Indecisiveness can be overcome with practice. We often fear loss more than we desire gain. The stories we tell ourselves shape our decisions. Taking small actions can build confidence in decision-making.   Chapters 00:00    The Importance of Decision Making 07:28    Understanding Decision Fatigue 10:19    Overcoming Indecisiveness 15:50    The Role of Information in Decision Making 19:12    The Stories We Tell Ourselves 26:11    Taking Action and Building Confidence   https://hilarysaxton.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textIn this episode, we're diving into why not everything in life needs to be a struggle. Sometimes, we bury ourselves in complexity without even realizing there's an easier way. Elevated stress can narrow our focus, hijacking our brain's capacity for rational problem-solving. It's important to recognize that we don't need to make things harder than they have to be—life is challenging enough already.We'll also talk about the importance of picking one thing to prioritize. You can't do it all at once, and trying to follow every wellness trend or daily routine can overwhelm us instead of helping. There's so much information out there—some good, some not so good—and the pressure to keep up can be immense.Instead of trying to multitask or jump between different practices, it's more effective to pick one tool to work on and practice consistently. Building habits takes time and intention, and it's all about finding what works for you. Just because something works for others, or is even scientifically proven, doesn't mean it's the best fit for your needs. It's okay to put down what doesn't resonate.Join me as we explore letting go of unnecessary struggle, choosing simplicity, and finding the one thing that brings ease to your daily life. Let's focus on what works for you and build your personal toolkit from there.Takeaways:Not everything has to be a struggle—let it be easy.Elevated stress can limit our ability to see options clearly.Pick one practice to focus on instead of trying to do it all.Wellness is about what works for you, not following every trend.Building habits takes practice, consistency, and time.Remember: You don't need to do everything at once.

Finding the right ‘fit' is super important: Connecting with a coach is essential for your success. Look for a coach who aligns with your personality and communication style. Inquire about their coaching style and approach. If you're a coach, remember – assessing fit goes both ways. The most successful coaching relationships are ones where there's a mutual fit. The role of a coach: A good coach will act as a mirror, reflecting back what they see and hear. This can help you observe your own brain and identify patterns you may not be able to see on your own. A strengths coach will do this with a unique focus on what's already strong in you. Take Action Reflect on Your Needs: Begin with the end in mind. Think about where you are now, where you want to go, and what you need to get there. What do you want to achieve through coaching? Do you prefer a coach who provides direct advice or one who helps you observe your own thought patterns? What type of coach will best support your goals? Schedule a Discovery Call: Take the first step by scheduling a discovery call with a potential coach to assess fit and understand their coaching style. Let's Connect!

Summary: Just got back from a late-night Magic the Gathering session with my boys, and wow, what an adventure it was! Not every game set hits the mark, and this murder mystery-themed one definitely had us wanting more. It sparked an interesting conversation on the way back, munching on snacks and sharing a collective "meh" about the experience. It got me thinking about the echo chambers we inadvertently create, not just in card games but in life. How often do we find ourselves echoing the same sentiments, reinforcing our own beliefs without even realizing it? But here's a twist - what if we could transform these echo chambers into something powerful? Imagine a chamber reverberating with success, positivity, and change. Join me in this episode as we explore breaking the cycle of repetition and tuning into a frequency of growth and positivity. It's time to amplify the good vibes and turn our echo chambers into engines of inspiration! Takeaways: Not every experience will meet our expectations, but there's always a lesson to be learned. The conversations we have can often become echo chambers, reinforcing our existing beliefs. It's essential to be mindful of the echo chambers we're part of and consciously choose positivity. Transforming our echo chambers can lead to a more fulfilling and successful life.

Sam Altman Has been fired as CEO of OpenAI, joining Microsoft this morning and sending the internet into a spiral. Here's everything you need to know about what went down and what it all means for the world. -----

In the white collar world, the skills and lessons that make us professionally successful aren't designed to help us lead happy, balanced lives. But how can we fill in these learning gaps this late in the game? According to recent guest Charles Price, it's all about rewiring our minds and staying present. Listen in to some stories and tips about how to rewire your relationship with yourself and your career for authentic balance and contentment.   TAKEAWAYS Not only are there gaps in our professional training, but in many ways, these lessons can steer us away from the things that we need to live contented and balanced lives. Students are taught to analyze the past and strategize for the future but never to live in the present. We tend to minimize all of our wins and successes while, at the same time, we obsess about our defeats and mistakes, so our “bank balance” inevitably becomes radically overdrawn. So many people say that their motivation is money, a promotion, a job, a position, or this recognition, but that doesn't seem to work like finding a motivation that is “bigger than yourself.” We have power over what our inner voices say to us, but we often don't exercise that power.   A QUICK GLIMPSE INTO OUR PODCAST 

Get ready to take a peek behind the scenes into the legal world through the eyes of an attorney and entrepreneur who has seen the mistakes most entrepreneurs are bound to make. Mark Stiles is bringing you the advice you need when to find an attorney, how to look for one, and how many attorneys are too many attorneys for you. You will also hear about the different ways to get into the real estate business, what your expectations should be when you buy a property, and the best ways to maximize your portfolio's value.    Takeaways: Not all attorneys are jerks. Choose an attorney who matches your personality type because you could be working with them for a long time. Get a referral from someone who was or is, in a similar position to you. Interview and connect with them. All attorneys are specialized in their own niches, so make sure to find one that can help you with what your business actually needs. Oftentimes, the attorney who helps you start your company is not the attorney who will help you sell the company. Don't wait to look for an attorney until you need to have an attorney! Be proactive, not reactive! People who wait until trouble strikes to look for representation are often why attorneys get such a bad reputation. Have a process before disaster strikes. It's better to try and find ways to work together with people because when litigation drags on, the only people who win are the attorneys for both sides who are billing hourly. It's better to come to a quick resolution where each side is only a little unhappy. You should surround yourself or your business with a team of professionals that include a financial advisor, a CPA, a title attorney, a real estate agent, a mortgage professional insurance agent. Your attorney should be able to refer the best specialists when needed. There are different ways to get into real estate such as office, warehouse, residential, etc. and the next best time to buy real estate is now. Work with a real estate attorney, a real estate agent who knows investment properties, and a mortgage professional. Expect a second job if you are getting into real estate! There's a lot of work you'll have to do! You can hire a manager who can take care of a lot of that work but keep in mind that will cut into your profit margins.   Quote of the Show “You get to choose your attorney and you want to match that attorney with your personality, because depending on what you're doing, you may be with that person for a long time.” - Mark Stiles   Links:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markstileslaw/ Calendly: https://calendly.com/mstiles Podcast: Let's Talk Business: https://open.spotify.com/show/0XEGPjdiJEGJ7tojHUGANV?si=c5fcd691499b48c3 Company website: http://www.stiles-law.com Company Phone: (781) 319 - 1900 Company YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/StilesLaw   Shout Outs: Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey The E-Myth by Michael Gerber Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter Gary Bloom - Mentor   Ways to Tune In: Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/leadership-in-action/id1585042233 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/2t4Ksk4TwmZ6MSfAHXGkJI Stitcher - https://www.stitcher.com/show/leadership-in-action Google Play - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubGVhZGVyc2hpcGluYWN0aW9uLmxpdmUvZmVlZC54bWw Amazon Music - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/4263fd02-8c9b-495e-bd31-2e5aef21ff6b/leadership-in-action YouTube - https://youtu.be/Szh7-tMfM4o

David Berkowitz is my long time friend, colleague, founder of Serial Marketer, and an all-around good guy that will never ghost you. In fact, David feels as though it’s important to write back to everyone — even if it’s just a brief reply. This week he joins me for a conversation on why people ghost, what to do about it, and why you don’t want to be a victim of ghosting karma. We also talk about our definition of being an agent of change, and how that doesn’t always align with what the company is trying to get out of its interview candidates.   Takeaways: Not only does David share a name with one of the most well known serial killers ever, aka the Son of Sam, but he used it to his advantage and Serial Marketer now takes the reins in Google search results when you type in his name. During the pandemic, it’s even harder to tell who is really “ghosting” you and who is just dealing with personal issues. It’s best to first not try and take it personally, and come from the perspective that maybe someone is dealing with some hardships. If you are sure you are being ghosted, it’s a likely sign that you dodged a bullet anyway. It may be a blessing in disguise to have someone not answer when they aren’t capable of having hard or uncomfortable conversations. It’s hard when friends ghost, but just downright unprofessional for roles such as recruiters or hiring managers to do it. It’s best not to ghost people even from the perspective that communicating back with them, even brief but respectfully, can lead to something good for you. The industry is enormous, but small enough that if you ghost, chances are you will see them in person at some point. Instead of ending phrases that close the door such as “hope you are well,” asking someone how they are doing in a 1:1 email will most likely yield better results. Even if the message or promotion isn’t a fit for him, David will still take the time to write back to the sender. You must draw boundaries when it comes to interviewing for a position and giving away full business and marketing plans. If they are looking for a consultant, be sure to get hired before you do all the work for free.   Quotes: “It’s sobering right now.

This episode: A fungus paralyzes its tiny worm prey by acting on the worm's own sensory hairs! Download Episode (6.0 MB, 8.7 minutes) Show notes: Microbe of the episode: Bat associated cyclovirus 9 Takeaways Not all predators are fast or agile; some are sneaky, or good trap builders, or just good chemists. The predator club includes animals but also plants and even fungi. For example, the oyster mushroom fungus can paralyze roundworms in the soil that touch its filaments, then degrade their bodies and consume their nutrients.   The mechanism of this paralysis has been a mystery, but it's one step closer to being solved. This study found that intact sensory cilia, little hairs on the worm's head that help it sense its surroundings, are required for the paralysis to work. Worms with mutations in the structure of their cilia were protected from paralysis. How exactly the fungus acts on these cilia and the neurons they connect to, though, is still unknown.

Jerremy Alexander Newsome is the CEO and co-founder of www.reallifetrading.com. The trader and newly published author has one of the fastest growing audiences and websites on the Internet and attacks the markets with energy, exuberance, and humor that is truly refreshing. He has been professionally trading the stock market since he was 21 years old. Jerremy specializes in candlesticks, gaps, day trading with shares and options, swing trading and credit spreads. He graduated from the University of Florida in 2009 with a bachelor’s degree in business management, with a minor in mass communication. In his spare time, he has dabbled in the comedy world, practices Brazilian jiu-jitsu and has an informed taste in music and good beverages. Forrest Gump drives desire to not ‘have to worry about money no more’ Many people were inspired by the 1994 Tom Hanks masterwork, Forrest Gump. The box office hit inspired viewers with its mash-up history and heart-wrenching life lessons. Notably, it included an undeniable and timeless investment lesson.   Our guest Jerremy’s love affair with trading in the stock market started when he watched Forrest go to the mailbox while he’s telling his new park-bench friend how he’d had a call from “Lieutenant Dan”, who had invested their money in “some kind of fruit company” (Apple computers, Apple Inc. AAPL:US, APPL.OQ) and that they “didn’t have to worry about money no more”. For young Jerremy, the main motivation for getting into the world of investing was that his family always worried about money and he wanted to find out “How could we not do that anymore?” Jerremy begged his father to invest in Apple as well, and finally he agreed too, also saying he would match his son’s stake. He gave US$1,300 to his father, a sum raised from door-to-door sales of blackberries he had picked himself in the summer of 1994. The Apple shares they bought performed very well and around six years later, his father gave his then-12-year-old self a whopping $12,000 and he has been hooked on trading and investing ever since.   Apple Inc.’s share price from beginning to present [caption id="attachment_2558" align="alignnone" width="1555"] Red line in the Apple Inc. chart above represents the approximate period Jerremy and his father traded in Apple shares, which succeeded in turning Jerremy’s initial investment of US$1,300 into $12,000. He has been hooked on investing and trading ever since.[/caption] Summary: Jerremy’s journey in investing In this episode, Jerremy shares what sparked his interest in investing and paved the way for his professional trading career.  He will reminisce about the glorious yet ill-fated days of being dazzled by the hottest trend at the time – silver. Jerremy was confident after tasting success when he had a striking 36% return from his father’s retirement funds in three months. But things didn’t go as expected when after its peak at $48.35 per share, it dropped by $10 in a week, a 20% loss in value, and unbelievably plunged to zero in the following week. Jerremy will detail more of the ins and outs of the trade and how his personal investment and loss of his father’s entire of his taught him the more important lessons: opening up his fears, on following the trend, and risk mitigation. Learn more from Andrew as well as he will give you his six-step process, fundamentals take when investing, for beginners or experts.   Every investor’s going to have losses. It doesn’t matter how much money they’ve made over time they’ve had certain situations that they’ve lost a lot of money on. So being honest, being humble, being open about it is key and integral. And it’s very important through the whole process of learning. You can learn more from your losers, than you will for your winners, without question. – Jerremy Newsome   Investor, 21, bedazzled by hype and sheen of silver   On Jerremy’s 21st birthday, he asked for the contents of his father’s retirement account with which to trade. Confident about a strategy he had been using, he went on to make a stunning 36% return on the entire $100,000 in just three months. His father was as excited as he was. Then, he learned about stock options, which move faster than stocks. Jerremy went into investing in silver, which was all the rage and he was as caught up in the media, social and investing hype as everyone else. He felt he could not lose. This was the “perfect investment” and that thought was very assuring. His first foray into silver had been shares in First Majestic Silver (Corp.) ticker symbol (AG:US, AG.A) and he did very well. He holds an unofficial Guinness World Book of Records for buying silver at its highest price and even bought a lot of call options. He bought 300 call options, valued at $16,000 that time. In layman’s terms, Andrew defined call options as – “… when you think something’s going up, it’s not enough just to own the underlying stock. What if you could take a leveraged bet that says I’m going to make more money when this thing goes up? An option allows you to do that.” In 2011, the share price for the silver went up from $18 an ounce to $45.57 an ounce in a few short months, which validated his thesis and gave him comfort.   When silver lost its shine After its highest share price at $48.37, it dropped to $35 after a week.  It is a $10 decrease which is over 20% rate. He bought on leverage so he was not just buying gear, but also the actual underlying position which has zero value other than pure speculation.  Jerremy was speculating at its highest degree and in just one week, the price plummeted to zero. And he lost everything in his investment.   Jerremy bets wrong way with his options There are two types of insurance that options provide: insurance for the downside and insurance for the upside. Many people are unaware that one factor about trading itself is you can insure your stock positions, which right now is very beneficial for many traders. It is called a put option, which is an insurance position for your shares.  When Jerremy bought a call option, he was buying an insurance position only expecting the stock to go up. The only way to win when buying a call option is if the stock continues to go higher, and he bought a $50 call option when silver was trading at $48.37 cents. It was a position that needed to go to $50 in order to make money and it never did. He lost all of the money he put in, but it didn’t stop him because he thought it was a normal correction. He thought the stock was just pulling back and that it would rebound higher. And so, he eventually ended up buying even more options a few months later in August 2011 and that’s when silver dropped another 20% and he lost all of the money. The $100,000 that his dad gave all lost.   Two fears and why he didn’t get out Jerremy only thought and considered making profits without considering the downside – how much he could lose or how bad his investments could go.  A few years later, he figured why he didn’t get out and instead of losing it all, he could’ve taken a small loss. He admits he had rational fears: (1) afraid of not being loved and (2) afraid of not feeling good enough. Since he lost all of his father’s money, he had to tell him and he feared that he would lose the love of his father as a consequence. And so, he never got out, which meant he hung on and lost more. It was a very strong psychological component, because I’m trading (with) my dad’s money, I’m 21 years old and what was happening is when I refused to take the loss, I tried, you know, years later to figure out why. Why did I not just get out, take a loss of some kind and say … ‘Hey, sorry dad, we only lost 50,000’. Rather than losing it all, why don’t I just get out, take the small loss. – Jerremy Newsome   iShares Silver Trust tracks the spot price of silver + Jerremy’s trades [caption id="attachment_2559" align="alignnone" width="1545"] Chart shows the iShares Silver Trust which tracks the spot price of silver and Jerremy’s trades. Source: TradingView[/caption]   Jerremy’s Takeaways      1. If everyone loves something and everyone’s talking about it, don’t get involved. Don’t invest. Bitcoin was the perfect example. Buying at $20,000. No way. Don’t do it.   2.Risk mitigation.  There are strategies you can use where you can either win big or, if you don’t know what you’re doing, you can lose everything. Risk mitigation is key in this environment because if you don’t have the money, you definitely can’t trade and you certainly can’t get it back. But if you have the money, you must protect it. Since you know that you have to protect yourself regardless of how much money you have in this world, you can lose every dime on a position that you don’t fully understand.     Andrew’s Takeaways Not feeling good enough: Many of the people Andrew has interviewed are esteemed and experienced financial professionals who hid their losses in fear that they would be unworthy of their titles. He notes Your Money and Your Brain by Jason Zweig, the book he read that helped him realize that investing is a physical thing. We have emotional reactions and we mental reactions to investing. Such reactions can be measured to such an extent and that they are so tangibly physical that he calls investing a contact sport. Most people who succumb to their emotions fail to realize how easily their brains and their emotions are being manipulated. 2.Confirmation bias or The White Toyota Syndrome: When you buy a white Toyota, all of a sudden you notice there’s a lot of white Toyotas on the road. And this is the concept of confirmation bias. That bias is what we’re doing when we’re looking for things that confirm our beliefs. Serious long-term investors welcome ideas that go against their beliefs and they see the value in them. 3. Do not invest when everybody’s talking about it. 4. What should be a good process of investing for the average beginner?   Andrew outlines his six-step process: Step 1: Find an idea. Step 2: Research the return. Step 3: Asses the risks. Step 4: Create a plan. Step 5: Execute the plan. Step 6: Monitor the progress.   The most important out of these six steps to which Andrew regularly refers is that you want to separate the research that you do about the return from the research you do about the risk. To arrive at this he was strongly influenced by Michael Gerber’s book The E-Myth, which discusses this extensively. The book identifies a state it calls “an entrepreneurial seizure”.     “What is important is that we separate the work that we do on researching the return, which brings all of the positive emotion and the assessment of risk and the researching of risk and risk management.” - Andrew Stotz       Final words: Every trader is going to have losses. Jerremy has discovered that being honest, humble and open are the fundamental keys. Importance of risk mitigation.   Measures to avoid the same fate Jerremy advises listeners to do the following: Get some charting software, such as tradingview.com, think or swim, freestockcharts.com, Yahoo finance or the like. For every guest on this show, each one of your listeners should pull up the chart concerned if it is available and look at the course of the investment on the chart. Discern why it was a bad trade (as we have done in the charts above). If you can also visually identify why something is not a good idea, it can also help when you see it. In a few weeks or months, Jerremy suggests that Andrew is going to have a guest talk about how they bought Bitcoin (COINXBT:SS) at 20,000 or Ethereum at 2,000, and if you can visually identify what a bubble looks like or “a hyperextension of price action”, you have a much greater chance to not buy at that bubble point.   Go back and research with day-by-day analysis events such as the Great Depression, the crash of 1987, the tech bubble of 2000, the Bitcoin bubble, the Tulip mania of 1637, many others, actually looking visually at that information.   These are things you can quantitatively do right now.   Controlling your emotions and controlling your thoughts are difficult things to do. It takes time. But once you can do a quantitative act, like physically getting in front of a chart and see how these events looked, when you see another one, your brain will recognize the pattern and maybe you shouldn’t buy at that point.     Andrew’s final word: If we separate the research on the return and the risk, we force ourselves to move to a separate phase of research that allows us then to say, “This is a great return. I’m going to make a ton of money. But now I have to look at how to manage the risk.”   You can also check out Andrew’s Books:   How to Start Building Your Wealth Investing in the Stock Market My Worst Investment Ever 9 Valuation Mistakes and How to Avoid Them   Connect with Jerremy Newsome: reallifetrading.com jerremynewsome.com LinkedIn Twitter   YouTube Connect with Andrew Stotz: astotz.com LinkedIn Facebook Instagram Twitter YouTube My Worst Investment Ever Podcast   Further reading as mentioned in the podcast Newsome, Jerremy (2019) Money Grows on Trees: “How to reshape your thoughts, beliefs and ideals about money and become truly wealthy.” Gerber, Michael (1986) The E-Myth: Why Most Small Businesses Don't Work and What to Do About It Zweig, Jason (2005) Your Money and Your Brain: How the New Science of Neuroeconomics Can Help Make You Rich
