Are you being intentional with your money or is your money drifting away?

What do you think about budgeting? Is it almost like a bad word in your house?

People often have a visceral reaction to the word Budget. We know because we felt the same! Uninterested at first followed closely by: "Ugh!"

But, after a few budget meetings we finally got the hang of living on a budget. We where hooked!

You know what it feels like to walk in the dark? How trekking through a new forest at night without a flashlight can send a chill down your spine? 

You hear shaking in the trees or a howl in the distance.

Not to mention, you don’t know where your headed and can’t see where you’re going. This is how it feels to go through life without a mentor.

A few weeks ago, we read a “Create your own Adventure” book to our four children. It was all about this group of young hikers going up Mount Everest.

They were skilled at hiking but new to Everest. If they hiked alone, death was inevitable. So they needed a guide, a mentor. In mountain climbing, it’s called a Sherpa.

Mentors can serve as guides or sherpas in any area of our life.

In this week’s podcast, we talk about how important is it to seek out mentors. In our life, we’ve had all types of mentors. 

Just to give you an idea, here’s a list of a few:

Marriage
Parenting
Business
Finances
Homeschooling
Spiritual
Physical Health
Sports or Hobbies

If you feel like you’re walking through life in the dark and alone, listen to this week’s episode The Value of Mentorship. 

You’ll learn why finding a mentor is not only important but a must if you’re looking to build a strong foundation for your family and business.

Changing your life can start today.

Jamie and Ruthie share how they turned their life around by taking control of their finances, being honest about debt and working together toward financial freedom.

Listen to Jamie speak to a live audience, a group of men, how every man can change their life.

What's next for you in 2019? In this new year, what can you and your spouse do to turn your life around?

Be inspired to take your own steps toward change and financial freedom.
