In my previous post, we talked about the first step to living the life you deserve.   If you don’t address this first step, there will be obstacles and challenges that will hold you back from living your greatest life.  If you want to review the first step or missed it, check it out HERE. Today, I’m excited to share the second step, which is my favorite.  This step is all about WHERE you are going… the destination! When I got my start as an investor and entrepreneur many years ago, I had no idea about the outcome I wanted to achieve. Of course I told myself I wanted Financial Freedom or I wanted to quit my job and travel, but that was a generic response with no real details or emotions.  Therefore, when I got started, I took massive action on everything I came across… And the results… were devastating.  

Have you ever tried to change something about your life only to find yourself right back in the same spot a short time later? You’re not alone. I remember when I was trying to get healthier about 5 years ago. I decided I’d eat better, work out more… the standard diet and exercise stuff. But guess what? Just a few weeks later I fell right back into my old habits and routines. And I experienced the same pattern when I first tried to be an investor and entrepreneur. I kept falling back into the same money and spending habits as before. It was frustrating, but I kept moving forward. It wasn’t until I surrounded myself with successful business owners and entrepreneurs that I saw a common pattern among them… one I used in my own life and now help others in our community follow as well. It’s only three steps

If you’re feeling like you need to make a change in your career or income…. Maybe it’s due to rising inflation, potential job loss, or any other factor, knowing what your skills and passions are can be a big help in identifying your next phase in life. If you don’t know what you want to do or what you’re best at, chances are your friends and family may have an idea. The 5 people who interact with you the most can all tell you something about who you are and what opportunities exist for you. This is especially true for family, friends, and co-workers. If you find yourself in a rut, or feeling lost, take a look at the people around you that may know you and what you’re good at.     You might not always like what they have to say, but oftentimes the people closest to us can

Back in October of 2012, internet chat rooms and Facebook feeds were buzzing about the downfall of self-help guru Robert Kiyosaki. The headlines stunned many: “Rich Dad Author Files for Bankruptcy.“ “Rich Dad” fans were reeling … …while the crusty, jaded, unsuccessful naysayers had a heyday. (isn’t it bizarre how some people find pleasure in other people’s downfall?) At The Living Legacy Group we’ve discussed the works of Robert Kiyosaki. We feel his writings are a great introduction to the proper mindset you need to become wealthy… and to escape the scarcity mentality that infects the masses. So, do we now have egg on our face? Has Kiyosaki been exposed as a fraud? Will following his advice leave you a “poor dad” (or mom)? Hardly! We’re not going to get into all the dirty details of his bankruptcy filing, but as you’ll see… Kiyosaki’s Bankruptcy Provides YOU with a Great

When it comes to investing and creating wealth, you’re going to have to deal with the IRS at some point. It’s just the reality of being an investor and living in the greatest country on Earth.  But, there’s so much to know about investing and the IRS, where do you get started? First off, do you believe that the IRS, the Internal Revenue Service, has your best interests at heart?  For most people, the answer to that question is an absolute, “No.”  You don’t believe the IRS is out there to help you, right?  And think about this… What does “IRS” even stand for?  Internal Revenue Service of course, but let’s break it down further  Internal. They’re internal to the government  Revenue. Their job is to get revenue for the government. And where do they get that from? They get it from you via taxes.  Service.  They serve the government. 

Did you know that all millionaires have certain traits in common? What if you could figure out what those traits are? Better yet, what if you could actually copy those traits? Dr. Thomas Stanley had those very questions. He started researching millionaires back in the 1990s. After years of study, he wrote what went on to become a best-seller, “The Millionaire Next Door.” In that book, Stanley shared the interviews and survey he conducted with the wealthiest people among us. A few years later he followed up with a second book called “The Millionaire Mind.” In that book, Stanley unearths the “secret” attitudes, traits, work habits and inner thoughts that rich people have in common. His goal was to identify these traits so that the average person struggling to become a millionaire might have a model for success. Stanley identified 10 common factors that make millionaires successful.   We’re going

There’s not a person on the planet that wants to end their life penniless and destitute.  And while that might be a tad overly dramatic, the harsh reality is that most of us don’t do an adequate job of planning for the end of life because we’re not actively investing today for that future.. I know that you want to have a financially secure future. We all want to know that we’re going to be secure down the road and that in retirement or older age, we’re going to be financially taken care of and feel secure. So what are you investing in for retirement?  We tell ourselves we want a financially secure retirement for ourselves.  But the challenge is that you may not be doing that right now. Sure, you may be putting money into a 401k, qualified retirement plan, or have a pension with their employer… if you’re

All those unread books…tons of info waiting to take me to the next level. I actually bought more books than I read! That was the action that made me feel better. Amazon was my nemesis with their tricky “One-click buy”…my kryptonite. So I decided to make a change..I had a gold mine sitting right next to me, but couldn’t find the time to make it a priority. Once I did…I read more books in one year than I had in the past 10. And it was easy. Below I’ve given you my 6 simple tips that I followed to a “T.” You can implement them in your life too.
