From $19,676.41 to Making OVER $100,000 (4 key mindset shifts)

From $19,676.41 to Making OVER $100,000 

(4 key mindset shifts)

How did I go from making $19,676.41 to making over 6 figures per year? What were the Four Key Mindset Shifts that I had to make to allow this to happen? So I was going through some old files and I came across my 2004 tax return. This was significant because this was the first tax return I filed after my first year of becoming a financial advisor. ⚡ What a flashback! Just remembering where I was in my life and career at that time. I didn’t come from money and I didn’t have any friends or family that was making over six figures, so i just didn’t associate with those types of people. And that type of mindset. I didn’t know if it was something that I could ever accomplish, I don’t even think this was on my radar as a possibility. 💭 When I became a financial advisor, that opened my world to new possibilities and new opportunities. So who was that guy back then, and what types of mindset changes did I have to make mentally to get me from making $19k+ to making six figures - and now over 7 figures today. 👦 So I was 20 years old, as green as could be. I had no experience other than retail jobs and my college degree. But as far as making money, and making over six figures per year...I had no experience with that. We lived in a house that my dad paid for with cash - $8,000. Both of my parents had filed bankruptcy. So how do you shift from that style of life to working towards a more successful future? I think it all started before my career took off. My first mindset change was that the sky is the limit. I had to put myself in a position to have some control over my income. 💵 So when I think back, what were the four key things that allowed me to push through to making over six figures? ➡️ 1. Sales position [4:04] - It doesn’t matter what type of career you are in, you are selling something (even if it is just yourself). ➡️ 2. Bet on Myself [7:03] - I had to believe that I was going to succeed, regardless of what anyone else believed. 😁 ➡️ 3. Remove limited beliefs [10:07] - You have to believe that where you are right now can have an impact, but not limit where you will be in the future. ➡️ 4. Never get comfortable [14:34] - No matter how big or how small the success, never get comfortable with where you are. You have to keep growing. 🌻 If you are trying to achieve that level of 6 figures or more, these are the things that you have to do. You can’t just get somewhere and just cruise or drift. You have to keep pushing yourself and challenging yourself. Just make sure to step back and celebrate your wins along the way. Otherwise, there is just too much pressure and you are not allowing yourself to enjoy your successes. 😁 I will address going from six to seven figures in another video, but a lot of these things will still apply. So work on these four key mindsets now. That will build your foundation to continued success.

$17,000 Pipe Dream

What’s going on ya’ll? I’m sitting at my son’s baseball practice and working on our core family values. As I’m doing this, since I’m a quick start and I get big ideas all the time, for some reason I started thinking about a client meeting I had 8-9 years ago. He was the son of a good client. He was about my age at the time, maybe 3 years older. All I knew about him was that he lived out of state, was married with kids, and made good money. My clients, his parents, were excited to refer him to me. He and his wife came in and I got to learn more about their situation. Both he and his wife worked for the same company and each of them were making around $250k a year. So combined they were making about a half a million dollars a year. 💰💰 That was pretty impressive considering he was in his mid thirties. I was excited about this. He was a high achiever with big ambitious goals. 👨‍💻 He wanted to retire at the age of 50. 🌴 Not that he wanted to call it quits, he just wanted enough money and investments saved up to be able to quit. I love meeting younger people that are driven, motivated, and their success comes from their own efforts. No silver spoons, no family connections, just hard honest work. Nothing makes me more excited than that. However, as I got to learn more about them, I discovered that although they were making a LOT of money, they had no idea how much they were saving. I started the process with how much they had in investments and savings.

They brought in tons of paperwork, savings accounts, life insurance policies, etc. I went through all of this paperwork, crunched the numbers, and discovered he had $17,000 in total assets. He was in his mid to late 30’s, he wanted to retire in 12-15 years, and ALL he had $17,000. 😮 At first, I was thinking….what am I missing. I had to ask him. Do you have another account that I’m not seeing? The answer was no. There were no other accounts, there was no hidden money. There was lots of debt. But no savings. Hardly any assets. In his thinking, he made lots of money so he should have plenty for retirement right? WRONG. They weren’t saving anything. They were spending everything. 💸 They traveled a lot, they had a big house, nice cars, boats, etc. I told him, it’s great that you have the big ambitions and you make really good money. But you are not saving enough money to retire at 50. You are not even saving enough to retire at 70! I shared my numbers with him and told him he basically needed to start saving about $6,000 a MONTH if he wanted to retire at 50. I think the important lesson to be learned here is that a lot of people have no concept of what it takes to retire. They have the misconception that they are saving enough. If you are not saving at least 20% or more of your income, you are not even close to what you need for retirement. Don’t be this guy! Just because you make a lot of money, that doesn’t mean JACK. You have to put money away. You can enjoy your money and spend it as you make it, but when you are ready to retire, you won’t have anything. 💸

So here is my question to you right now, if you are comfortable sharing, what percentage of your income per month are you saving? If you don’t know the percentage, what’s the dollar amount? $50 ---- $100?

Most people have no clue how much they are saving. If you don’t know what you are saving, you are not living for the future, you are just drifting. Don’t be the $17,000 guy. Be better than that! ▶ Check out my gear on Kit: https://kit.com/jeffrosecfp ★☆★ Want More Good Financial Cents? ★☆★ 💻 Check out my blog here: https://www.goodfinancialcents.com/ Listen to my podcast here: 🎙 https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/g...

Man Quits $80K Job to Work in 

Grocery Store Part Time - Minimalism

Yves quit his job even though he had it all: a big salary, health benefits and a pension plan. He sold his downtown condo, too. Why did he decide to drastically simplify his life? Because he was unhappy and unfulfilled. A couple of years ago, he went on a 10-day silent retreat and, after much soul-searching, realized that his job and his stressful lifestyle needed to go. Now, a year and a half later, he's living a minimalist lifestyle in a small bachelor apartment, riding his bike to work, and working 3 days a week at a grocery store. He has more time to spend with the people he loves, and a lot less stress. Does he regret his downshifting decision? Watch this video to find out!

Graham Hill : Less Stuff, Space, and Energy. More Time, Money, and Freedom

“Simpler lives are happier lives.” – Graham Hill What would happen if we let go of the material things society tells us we should value? Would we feel lighter and more fulfilled? Graham Hill thinks so. In this Speakeasy talk from Wanderlust Whistler, Graham Hill, entrepreneur and supporter of the minimalist lifestyle, shows how distilling our lives down to the essentials can lead to a more balanced and fruitful existence. As a young architect and designer, Hill found himself overwhelmed by the pressures of his success. To fill the void he bought stuff—a house, a car, the latest tech. But nothing brought him joy—except for helping people. Using his background in design and love for the environment, Hill founded TreeHugger.com, an eco-blog and vlog focused on spreading a green initiative. With this new Internet-based venture, Hill realized he didn’t need to limit himself to living in one location. So with just two suitcases and a laptop, he set out to see the world. “We could live out of two carry-on bags each, that’s all we really needed, it wasn’t complicated.” – Graham Hill Hill found happiness collecting experiences. Rather than living each day working toward a material reward, he rewired his brain to find reward in the now. Finding this philosophy too good not to share, Hill went on to launch LifeEdited, his newest venture that helps people organize their lives to be content with less stuff. He urges people to edit their lives ruthlessly, and to focus on what really matters.
