EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Erik shares a story of a conversation he recently had with an individual who studied finance and daily trades in the market.
• It was interesting to find that the individual was not aware of different financial concepts. 

KEY POINTS:

1. Erik revisits the rule of 72, the compound interest formula where we take the number 72 and divide it by the interest rate we earn on our money and it equals the number of years it will take our money to double. 

   72 / % rate = # years money will double 

2. Erik also talks about the indexing strategy where our money is not in the market but is based on market performance and we get the growth but are protected from the downside in case the market goes down. He brings up index funds which people are familiar with where a mutual fund is composed of specially the S&P 500.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• What was Vee’s upbringing like, especially as an immigrant from Vietnam? 
• Vee grew up playing volleyball and has become a volleyball coach here in the US. 
• Vee read Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, which led him to workshops and coaching in real estate. 
• When Vee got involved in real estate it was in the middle of the 2008-2009 financial crisis, with tons of foreclosures, so he was interested in buying wholesale from foreclosures. 
• He found a coach and bought his first property in only three months, and that was only five years after he came to the US. 
• As someone new to the country, Vee developed the confidence to pursue this line of work after he invested so much money into the coaching that he had nothing left to lose. 
• Vee learned that he didn’t need any liquid cash in order to make an offer to buy a property, he only needed to put earnest money down once an offer is accepted and contracts are signed, at which point Vee had time to flip the contract and sell the property to turn a profit. 
• After his second-ever deal went badly and he pulled out of it, Vee and his business partner bought a house to flip themselves. 
• Ten years later, Vee is interested in out-of-state investing. 
• Looking ahead, Vee wants to get into commercial investing, maybe with an apartment complex.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

The 10 stages of Winning 

1. Failure (we try something and it does not happen because we have to learn) 
2. Blame (as a result of the failure we may blame people, places and circumstances) 
3. Doubt (do not trust that things will work out or that it is “meant to be”) 
4. Realize (we then realize that people do not care about our problems because they have their own) 
5. Survive (we decide to just show up and make something happen, but we are not winning yet) 
6. Hope (it is the belief that comes from the inside that things will happen) 
7. Focus (we decide what to do next and have a sense of direction toward a goal) 
8. Positive (we are excited and have the emotional attachment and need the fuel long-term) 
9. Win (reach the target we set out to accomplish) 
10. Complacent (Biggest challenge for repeated success is the lack of a new vision) 

KEY POINT:

1. It is seen with sports many times where a team wins a championship but does not make the playoffs the next year. The example of a team with continued success is the New England Patriots as they look forward instead of looking back. We can use the stages to see where we are in our health, finances and all aspects of our lives and there are times when we can go backwards from stage 7, Focus to Failure, depending on how we respond to circumstances. Use this as a guide to help you.

OVERVIEW:

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• What was Aimee’s upbringing like? 
• Aimee is a registered mechanic and worked in the petroleum and mechanic businesses, which she believes was the main source of her toxic exposures.   
• Aimee is not anti-medicine, but has found most doctors are only treating the symptoms you’re presenting with and not looking at you holistically or connecting the dots between seemingly unrelated symptoms. 
• When and how did Aimee realize her environment was harming her? 
• There are over 80,000 chemicals available for use in products sold in drugstores and the US has only banned the use of 9 of those chemicals; manufacturing standards in the UK and other countries are much more strict. 
• Pharmaceutical companies are the ones funding the approval of drugs. 
• It’s not realistic to eliminate all toxins from your life, so Aimee says to focus on your home because you can’t remove a toxin from the entire environment.

• It’s not realistic to eliminate all toxins from your life, so Aimee says to focus on your home because you can’t remove a toxin from the entire environment. 
• A first step would be to address your water sources; if you can’t afford to get a whole-home filtration system, Aimee suggests a shower head filter as a starting point. 
• Aimee suggests using lemon—this can be used to rinse your fruits and vegetables because it helps remove dirt, and it supports your liver and kidney function—but if you have frequent UTIs, lemon can make that issue worse. 

OVERVIEW:

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• The society and environment we live in is very reactive as we do not think ahead and plan long term.
• Most end up waiting until things happen to us in order to take action and we seem to have only a short term memory when it comes to our health and finances.  
• Many have not learned from what happened in 2008 because the economy is great but different problems were not solved.    

KEY POINTS:

1. Erik shares about a client he was looking to help, being a family member of a friend, and how they were looking to help her plan long term; especially being a single mother. There was a lot back and forth along with delays in taking action and unfortunately she passed away from cancer, complicating matters with the family as there was property involved forcing them to go through probate court. 

2. On the other side, there was a story of another single parent who saw the value of taking action right away by finding the right vehicle for some money from her old 401K and set money aside for her daughter in addition to herself.
