Primary Guiding Concept: Vision -> Justification is a major path we all follow when we are making decisions Major Conversion (aka Sales) Framework: Clarity of an offer In a way that stands alone Without broken windows Context from there Why??? Without clarity, it’s hard to create a vision.  Vision can pull us like a magnet […]

What’s the most important part of your financial strategy? Creating an emergency fund? Saving and investing? Understanding what money goals you need to set for your priorities? Trick question, it’s kind of all three. In this week’s episode, we’re revisiting an old friend who you may have heard a lot about on this show: the bucket strategy. That’s right, folks. But this time, we’re paying special attention to the middle child of the strategy, the intermediate-term bucket.  We talk about why you may have been neglecting that middle bucket, as well as how you should be using our bucket strategy overall, in this episode. WHAT YOU’LL LEARN [00:40] Why we’re diving into the intermediate-term bucket in this episode [05:22] Reviewing the bucket strategy [06:46] Accounts you might have for each bucket category [10:51] Why the focus is all on retirement [12:27] Why you might be neglecting your intermediate bucket [13:29] The number one asset you have in investing (hint: we talk about it a lot) [14:25] Be the conductor of your own money (we get nostalgic for a minute) [16:17] Problems with the financial industry [19:49] How to make your bucket strategy work for you [23:11] Fill your buckets according to your priorities Accounts on your bucket list (pun intended) First up: let’s talk about the accounts you might use for each bucket. Remember that each “bucket” is a category, not an account itself. You may have multiple accounts to fill each bucket, and you need at least one account to start.  Your short-term bucket includes money you need between now and the next two years. That might include your regular checking account and a separate emergency fund account, which should be three to six months of living expenses saved.  On the other end of the strategy, you have your long-term bucket which you’ll use to save for retirement or revivement. This includes your retirement accounts: Roth IRAs, 401k, and so on. You may even have a separate investment account if you want to save more than the maximum in a retirement account, or if you’re planning to retire early. (More on that in a bit.) That leaves us with the intermediate-term bucket, which you’ll use for mid-range goals you hope to achieve in two to ten years. A down payment for a house, paying for college, or buying a new car are common mid-range goals. A lot of us don’t spend enough time tending to this bucket, probably because the focus in the finance industry and the media is all on savings and retirement in your long-term bucket.  How to make your bucket strategy work for you The first step in your bucket strategy? Y’all know this: create an emergency fund with at least three months of living expenses. And at the same time, if you have a 401k, start getting your matching so you can get that free money! Reaching both of these goals is important for your first step. No 401k? No problem. Focus your energy on hitting that emergency fund amount as soon as possible, especially if you have kids. Next, you’ll want to pay some attention to the other two buckets. If you don’t have a 401k, you’ll want to start contributing to a long-term investment account. Planning on retiring traditionally around 60 to 65 years old? Begin contributing to an IRA or a Roth IRA. Hoping to buy a house within the next few years? Set aside money for your down payment. Look at your goals and budget, and decide where your money needs to go. Once you know, set up payments automatically so you don’t have to think about it. It’s just ready and waiting when the time comes. Let’s say you’re one of those cool kids who wants to enter retirement, or revivement, at a younger age. Props to you. To make that happen, you’ll want to contribute to an additional non-retirement account that doesn’t have any restrictions. Why? Without this account, you’ll have to pay penalties to dip into those retirement accounts early, when you’re ready to retire at 50 years old. And that’s no fun.  Be the magic conductor Remember that scene in Fantasia where Mickey Mouse waves his magic wand and makes all the brooms start cleaning the castle for him? Mickey found a way to work smarter, not harder. That’s how your relationship with your money should be. You’re the conductor, and you’re in charge. Make your money work for you. It takes some time to set up at first, but once you do, you’re golden. Don’t miss out on that. Be Mickey.   This material is for general information only and is not intended to provide specific advice or recommendations for any individual.

The original S.O.L. STORY started around 8 years ago after I made the conscious decision to NOT do it ALONE. I went from talking about the problem, to discovering the solution…to Sipping. On. Life…TOGETHER. If you’re seeking a very SACRED SPACE to show up, speak up, stand up, and step into the true desires and power of your heart...you're only ONE DATE away. I’ve found that it’s in speaking up and sharing in a very safe, sacred environment that women are discovering their deepest healing. Just like I did. Do you have a place to show up and be naked (uncovered and exposed) and unafraid? Do you have a sacred space to be completely unapologetic, unashamed, unconditional loved and supported? A S.O.L. DATE offers all that. However, it's NOT the kind of support that enables a “poor me” attitude. It’s the kind of support that says, “What’s your story? What do you desire? Are you willing to take action? When will you do so? Start. Now. It inspires, educates, and empowers you to fully engage with your heart and soul in the life you’re living… How? By tapping into the uncovered, undiscovered desire of your heart. It gets your HOPES UP by elevating your belief system to the level of your desires. Think, SIPPING. ON. LIFE. Think, D.A.T.E. D: Desire - What do you desire? A: Action - Are you willing to take action to create what you desire? T: Time - When? Schedule SACRED time. TODAY! E: Engagement - let’s fully engage in the process…TOGETHER. You can’t have a DATE without time. A date is time, and it’s a scheduled day/date on the calendar, and it’s called TODAY. It’s the date and day that we’re living, loving, and dating in. If you don’t set a DATE, you’re not living your life and loving it well. Why? Without time, there’s no date. Without a DATE there is no time. Engage and SET THE DATE. Engage with the time that IS today. You…your DATE…are worth pursuing. You’re ONLY ONE DATE away from the desires of your heart.

Listen now and do the things that work instead of spinning your wheels repeating the same failures.  Show highlights include:  Why religiously following a tactic in marketing, financial advice or anywhere else will kill your business in the long term AND not give your clients the results you want them to see.

(5:50) The one question that determines whether you should do something or leave it others.

Imagine you are a general looking over a battlefield and you want to launch a devastating artillery attack. In the 1800’s, this wasn’t so difficult. The enemy was lined up on one side of the battlefield and you were on the other. You’d know where to aim.   Marketing is significantly more complicated. Your potential customers aren’t lined up in the middle of a field ready for you to introduce yourself, show them your product, and have 100% of them buy it immediately. You have to go out into the world and find them. They could be in their homes, in the park, on the subway, on a farm, at the climbing gym, or watching a ball game. Turns out that finding the people that need your product or service is the single most important problem you as the entrepreneur have to solve. Why? Without a paying customer, by definition, you don’t have a business. And if you are just starting your business then you probably can’t waste too many “bullets” on ineffective advertising campaigns that target the wrong people! How do you find just the right customer and effectively position your product to that customer so that they make the decision to BUY? You must discover your Customer Avatar. In this episode, you will meet the author of Saas Marketing Essentials, cofounder of Harpoon App, freelancer, and kick ass stay at home dad, Ryan Battles. Ryan was a computer science high school teacher until his wife became pregnant with twins. Day care prices being what they were, he decided to become a stay at home dad and take on freelance web development in between his children’s naps. After a lot of wasted time cold calling and going to networking events, Ryan took some time, defined his own customer avatar and his business took off. In this episode, Ryan will walk you through how he did it then and how he does it now. You will learn: What is a Customer Avatar? Why your Avatar is so crucial for your business and crowdfunding success How to go on a Sales Safari to learn more about your Customer Avatar The one simple tool Ryan uses every time he is building a new product or service Why you should test all of your assumptions (hint: because they are probably WRONG)   Show Notes: Ryan’s Blog Ryan’s post about Defining Your Customer Avatar SaaS Marketing Essentials Harpoon - Freelancer Finance Ryan on twitter: @ryanbattles Mindmeister Free mind
