Relationships & Revenue Podcast

In this episode, John talks with Rachel Richards. At the age of 27, Rachel quit her job and retired, and she now is living off over $15,000 per month in passive income. She's on a mission to empower female millennials to take control of their financial future. Here's a sampling of what this episode offers … [01:30] - If you're 100% dependent on a single source of income, that's not safe. [02:34] - Anyone can build multiple income streams, diversify, and really protect those. [05:39] - How to find a way to those things that aren't helping you in your relationships and minimizing or completely eliminating those things. [09:29] - Why quitting your job (without a plan) and taking a leap of faith is a bad idea. [12:43] - Communication is key! [15:32] - To combine or not combine income (after engagement/marriage), that is the question. [22:23] - Think long term and make time for each other so you can support one another. QUOTES: "The reason I'm not freaking out right now that my rental income is down by $9,000 is because we have all these other income streams keeping us afloat." "Is it going to be easier to free up time or will it be easier to create more money?" "But you really can't approach the relationship that way. You have to be totally selfless, totally into giving to them and adding value to them. And when you approach somebody like that, they know that you're not the scammy salesperson." "We listed out all of the different ways we spent our time, whether it was literally sleeping or eating or meditation or working, or being on social media. And then in columns next to those, we listed our three values, health, family, and freedom."

QUOTES: "Sometimes I am so preoccupied with work, growing and expanding my various businesses and trying to grow as a person and a leader, that I forget to have fun." "Some of the things that you're doing hobby-wise may be good for you physically, but are they good for your relationships?" "Learn to adapt your changes, make them better because not all changes are for the better." "Make a conscious effort to be better because when you're better, your relationships get better."

EPISODE NOTES In this episode, for the first time John shares his groundbreaking F6 Formula. These six categories, that all begin with the letter F, are the six areas of a man's life where he tends to struggle (especially after getting married). Difficult times are a part of life and they are meant to change us, to help us become who we were created to be. These challenges can be very painful, but if we allow the pain to do its work it can completely revolutionize our lives! Acknowledging that pain is a part of our lives to help change us, it is equally important to know that pain is designed for us to share with others. Sharing the lessons we learn from the pain we go through is a gift that we give to others, to help them navigate through their challenges and hopefully keep them from having to go through what we went through. The F6 Formula: F1 - Faith F2 - Fashion F3 - Fitness F4 - Food F5 - Friendship F6 - Fun QUOTE: "I care about what happens to you. I want to help make a difference. In your life. And I can tell you this, the entirety of the time that I'm doing this, if I find out that only one person, only one person's life has been positively impacted because of what I've shared or the guests that I've brought on the show to you, that one person I say you are worth it."
