3:55 - Progress happens on purpose 15:10 - The Forbes Billionaires List 22:24 - Issues with the Market 33:05 - Alimony Laws are Changing &nbsp; Progress Happens on Purpose The opposite of progress happens without purpose. When you don’t have a purpose you’re not only going to stay still, you’re actually going to go backward. Just like in a pinball machine, that ball just falls wherever it may and bounces off of whatever comes along. You have to ask yourself, do you want to progress in life? Are there specific areas in your life where you want to make some progress? Maybe with your family, your marriage, or with your kids. It’s important for you to know there’s a definite purpose in your life, something that’s bigger than you. When you grab hold of that, you’ll find you will begin to make progress towards that purpose. &nbsp; There are two ways to do nothing.  Do nothing. That’s the most basic way that is obvious to most of us. Try to do everything. This is the method that sneaks up on us. It’s veiled in an attempt to make massive progress but we end up making none.  Action: Write down just 1 or 2 things you want to improve in your life right now. Don’t overload the list with everything you want to accomplish in your life, just the one thing you can focus on right now. Be specific about the actions you can take to make progress in those areas. That way you can measure your progress. Place of Home - https://www.placeofhope.com/ If you’re looking to make a difference in the lives of those who can’t fight for themselves, please consider supporting Place of Hope who is rescuing abused and neglected children. &nbsp; The Forbes List of Billionaires  Jeff Bezos - Amazon - $112 B Bill Gates - Microsoft - $90 B Warren Buffett - Berkshire Hathaway - $84 B Bernard Arnault - LVMH - $72 B Mark Zuckerberg - Facebook - $71 B  There are now 2,200 billionaires in the world now and 67% of the billionaires on the list are self-made. These are people who did not inherit their wealth. These are people who have created something of value on their own. That’s a very encouraging thing for all of us. Those of us who approach life from an entrepreneurial mindset will be the next ones who are going to show up on this list of billionaires. Challenge: What entrepreneurial idea do you have that you can go after? Go for it! 67% of the billionaires on this list did exactly that. &nbsp; Market Update The big question is whether we’re going to see the markets continue to go up in spite of the recent trend downward. We’ve been in a sustained Bull-run for about 9 years. We know this isn’t going to continue forever. One of the challenges the market has today is the political risk it faces 24 hours per day. The news is non-stop and never been more overwhelming in our lives. Because of this, we’re in a place where we’re going to most likely see the markets start to turn. Remember, in 2009, we started to see something called “Quantitative Easing” which basically was the Federal Reserve printing money to buy Treasury Bonds from the government, which put money into our financial structure. That’s what boosted the markets until late 2014. So what should you do with your investments? It’s important to now talk with your advisor about specific changes you can make to your portfolio in light of this speculation on the market shifting. It’s critical you look at the amount of risk you have in your investments right now because this downturn could be bigger than what we saw in 2008. Now is the time to lock in your gains while the market is high. &nbsp; Alimony Laws Will Be Changing Starting on January 1st 2019, alimony payments will no longer be tax deductible. It’s going to cost a lot more to get divorced starting in January. My suggestion is that couples who are facing marital challenges should look at the financial cost a divorce is going to have and invest that money into quality marital counseling. Challenge: Keep that...

03:41 - Being Efficient in Life 09:50 - Sex trafficking 15:21 - Fiduciary Role 40:20 - What type of Advice you would give to yourself? 43:34 - Hear from Sammy Hagar (The Red Rocker) How to Become More Efficient in Life “Complexity is the enemy of execution.” You don’t have to be an entrepreneur in order to relate to this segment. Whether you are or not, a lot of times our ideas come from us wanting to solve a problem in the outside world. Whether, it’s wanting to improve something you are using each and every day, or the services already within a business or industry, that you think could be improved. When you come up with an idea, don’t overwhelm yourself with thinking about everything you have to do all at once. You will, without a doubt run into challenges along the way, but it’s not about the challenges or our fears of stumbling, it’s about mentally staying there and not giving up on your goal. Simplify what you’re doing by sticking to just one phase of the idea at a time. Focus on your main purpose without looking 10 years down the road. One main reason why your great ideas "die out" is you don't do anything with them. A great way to accomplish nothing is to attempt to do everything. Break up your big idea into several small ideas, by asking yourself these questions…  How do I help one client right now? How can I improve this one area of an industry?  Challenge: Write your idea down, and note why you think the market would want your idea. Start small, using Facebook to gain feedback by sending out messages to friends or people you know, sharing your thoughts and ideas. Then, pick out 4 or 5 people who can help take your idea to the next level. How to Improve The World Around You. You may want to add value to people in other ways. One huge problem in the world is the sex trafficking industry. Today, there are more than 20 million kids in the world that are trapped in slavery. The very best way to eradicate this issue is by good people like us, stepping out and doing something. The reason evil grows is that good people choose to do nothing. One way you can become more involved in ending this sex trafficking industry is through an effort called “Operation Underground Railroad.” Here's how you can become a part of this movement: Place of Hope Christ Fellowship's Hope For Freedom  Live Action - The Child Sex Trafficking Cover Up Understanding the Role of a Fiduciary Basically, a fiduciary is a person other than yourself, who acts as a financial advisor for you. This financial advisor helps manage your money and investments, giving you advice and the steps you should take that align with your best interest. Many of the "advisors" at the companies you may know about, such as Wells Fargo and Merrill Financial are not fiduciaries. Most of the time these companies are brokers. Tony Robbins, 6-time best-selling author, discusses the ideas and importance of a fiduciary, as well as giving expert advice in his latest book, “Unshakeable.”&nbsp; Giving Advice to Yourself. If you could go back in time and give your younger self some advice, what would it be, and why would it be that? What are you doing to actively pursue good advice in your life? Make sure your decisions are based on your future opportunities. Whether that has to do with your wealth, improving your life, or your relationships. Regardless of your age or the situation you are in at this moment, focus on where you want to go and where you want to be 20-30 years down the road. Evaluate, and discover the steps you need to take in order to reach that goal. Our end result all comes down to our consistent actions over time and the choices we make along the way. We can all agree that nothing happens by accident. Sammy Hagar's Advice to Younger Sammy Hear what Sammy Hagar had to say. He was the lead singer of Van Halen and is known as the Red Rocker, and during this short clip of the interview he speaks about what advice he gave to himself and...

What does success mean to you? &nbsp;It seems a lot of younger people are focused on money or income as their definition of success. &nbsp;As we get older we begin to look more at our impact or the legacy we leave for our family. Who is Responsible for Your Success? There is a wave of sentiment in our society that others have control over our situation. Some will blame bad parenting, while others will claim they’re held back by the people in power in our government. The truth is, the only person who is responsible for your success is you. Events will happen which may be hurdles but it’s up to you to see those and overcome them. It’s up to you. The Three Most Important Elements to Your Success  Write down your steps to success. Lay out the actions you can take to accomplish each step. Take full responsibility for your success.  Each one of these items is dependent on you alone. You lay out the steps, you determine and take the action and ultimately, you must be responsible for your progress towards success. Don’t fall into the trap of blaming others. You Control Your Reaction There are times in your life when others will do something which takes control of you. Think about the last time you were cut off in traffic. That person may not even know you were there and they’ve now driven off completely oblivious to what happened. Their day is going to be fine. In fact, they may have their best day ever. But that situation will set you off and change your attitude for the rest of the day. It’s up to you to determine your reaction to everything that happens in life. You can’t control what others do but you can control your reaction to it all. That is what will keep you on your path to success. Good Better Best Every day you’ll be presented with opportunities to focus on an assortment of situations. It’s up to you to put your attention and effort into the areas that are the best. &nbsp;It’s easy to get distracted by the GOOD things and you may even become aware of that and decide to focus on something you know is BETTER. But, massive growth and progress happen when we’re intentional about focusing on the areas and actions we know are the BEST. Baby Boomers Are Withdrawing Money from the Market Every day there are about 10,000 Baby Boomers retiring and beginning to withdraw their investments from the financial markets. RMD’s - Required Minimum Distributions kick in at 70 ½ years old and force Baby Boomers to withdrawal money from their retirement accounts. This is the opposite of what we saw happening in the 80’s as Baby Boomers were beginning to put money into their 401k retirement accounts. This mass influx of money into the market during that time helped the market grow. Now, with the Baby Boomers being forced to pull money out of the market, many are wondering what will happen to the market. Afterall, it’s easy to make money when the market is growing, demand is high, and values are going up. &nbsp;But now, with money coming out, there’s worry of a decreased demand, and decreased values. The big question you need to ask is whether you’re invested in a way that prepares you for a market that’s dropping. If you have a large portion of your portfolio in bonds, you may want to take a closer look at those. Remember, bonds move in the opposite of interest rates.

What is your perspective on their success and how they achieved it? One of the challenges we have in life is to change our thinking about ourselves and what is in store for us. When we understand the meaning behind Jer 29:11, we see God has a bigger vision for us then we even have for ourselves. Challenge yourself to see your future the same way God envisions it for you. When your vision&nbsp;grows, your ideas and creativity will start to grow as well. So, if you’re at a roadblock in the creative process in business or life, ask yourself what your vision is for your future. Do you see a bright future or one that is just more of the same? Remember, when you grow your vision, you increase your creativity and what you have to offer the world around you. Your vision for your life will have an impact on the world around you. Interview: John Avant - President of Life Action Dr. John Avant has a deep love and compassion for people and believes that the only hope for our nation is to experience a mighty movement of God. John has pastored churches in Texas, Tennessee, Georgia, and Louisiana. He was also the Vice President of Evangelism and Spiritual Awakening at the North American Mission Board. John and his wife, Donna, fell in love on the campus of Baylor University and married in 1980. They have three adult children and three grandchildren. Interview: Daniel Kahan - Architect at Smith &amp; Moore Daniel Kahan received a Bachelor of Architecture degree from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1998 and a Master of Architecture degree from the University of Florida in 2004. He was raised in Augusta, Georgia and grew up studying the traditional architecture of the south. He was also exposed to and informed by the modernist residential architecture practiced by his uncle in Mexico City. Before becoming a principal partner with Smith and Moore Architects he apprenticed with the firm while studying architecture collegiately. He has prided himself in the synthesis of classical order and form with modernist simplicity. He draws inspiration from a commitment to artistic integrity, a passion for detail, the use of fine materials,

This is part of the system in place to get your car clean. If you don’t follow the system, you won’t get the results you’re looking to achieve. The same thing happens in life. Sometimes we don’t get the results we want if we don’t follow a system. If we don’t align with the system in place, we’ll never get the results we want. There’s even a roller in place that moves your car through at the optimum speed so your car gets as clean as possible. Engineers have put systems into place to reduce the potential room for human error. If you drive yourself through the carwash, you may go too fast or even too slow. You have to earn leadership. You don’t get out of college with a degree in leadership. College grads have a license to learn and experience what they need to eventually be leaders in their field. &nbsp; There Are Two Types of Pride Unhealthy Pride - This is when you feel you don’t need any help to get where you want to be in life. You’re prideful and uncoachable. This is unhealthy and will ultimately keep you from your goals. Healthy PRIDE - Personal Responsibility in Daily Endeavours This is when you humble yourself and line up BEHIND someone else who can guide you towards your goals. &nbsp; Don’t Fall in Love With A Stock Make sure you don’t attach any sentimental value to the stocks you own. This often happens when you’ve inherited a stock portfolio and you are hesitant to let it go because your loved one purchased it years ago. Sometimes we do this on our own without even inheriting the stocks. We will buy a stock, watch it grow and when it begins to stumble, we’ll hesitate to make a logical decision to let that stock go.

Each one requires a different strategy and provides you with different expectations. The two major phases are: &nbsp; Building and Growth In this phase, it's all about doing what you can to grow your retirement portfolio as best you can. That means most people are willing to take a little higher risk in order to see a potentially higher return. But you must still have caution in this phase or you risk going backward.  Retirement Phase This isn’t about sitting in a rocking chair and doing nothing, it’s more about having the freedom to do as you choose. Most high-achievers have no desire to retire and this phase is really is about giving you the freedom to pursue different goals than the ones you had during the Building and Growth Phase. &nbsp; The Three Ways The Stock Market Can Go Most people think stocks will either go up or go down. But, there’s also the possibility for those stocks to go sideways. In fact there are been periods of several years where the stock market has gone sideways.
