Let's talk about how businesses typically pass these costs to consumers and the broader implications of such economic policies. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

After reading Becoming Your Own Banker, people want to self-insure for their autos. As I understand what Nelson was saying, I don't necessarily agree, considering today's prices of new vehicles and the cost to repair. This fits in the right situation, but you need to make sure it's actually the right situation. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

Many think they understand IBC and then ask questions that indicate they have missed then entire concept. Let's talk about what this means. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

What if I gave you a dollar in exchange for .50 cents, income tax free? Would you go grow quarters? This is exactly what the life insurance company does when you buy death benefit, and yet so many folks do not understand. Leave generational wealth for your family, use it to help with lost income from care, etc. The ideas are infinite. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

We love the idea of having control of our money and not answering to the bank, but we then end up not knowing what to do. When you become the banker, you have to make your own payback terms; you have to put on your banker hat. When you sign your policy documents, you have, at that moment, become a business owner of a bank! Get ready: you have all the control. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

Stop spreading yourself so thin just because you can do it all. Your business will run smoother and you'll make more money when you focus. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

IBC provides the solutions for needing liquidity, control, and guarantees. That is not provided in a traditional banking setting. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

It boils down to liquidity, control, and guarantees. While the market fell hard this week, it proves IBC is the answer for those three things. The concept is far more important to understand the problem so you can understand the solution. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

What do you pay first if you can't afford both? Well, that depends on many things! Hang in there with me on this podcast; it can get a bit confusing. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

Don't always get your feelings hurt when the bank says no. Sit back, look at why they are doing that, and use it to your advantage. They may just be saving your butt. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

Always be prepared to have cashflow or low debt in the good times. Things always change, and you don't want to be in a situation where you are caught owing money and have no cashflow coming in. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

Be careful when asking others for their opinions when you are an expert on a matter. Knowledge is one thing if it's gained from due diligence; it's another when it's repeated without good sources. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

Tune in to learn how to understand and utilize the benefits of term insurance effectively. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

Here we are again... Dave and I agree, but he seems to be talking out of both sides of his mouth. Finally, he has addressed putting money into things you know, but why then is he talking about putting money into IRA's and 401k's when you don't know those things? Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

Have you put money into your business and paid it back? If you are putting a capital investment into a business, you better pay that back to yourself and figure in your time per hour. Without doing this, you are not looking at real numbers for profit and expenses on the business side. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

Wealthion had a great podcast interview that I sum up here as best I can. The moral is, the gov't created a "solution" that is now creating a problem for which they can create another "solution". The opt-out 401k option is not actually helping but could hurt the market, depending on employment rates. Take a listen; there is a lot here. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

Every one of us is a salesperson to some extent, yet so many folks are up in arms over people selling them something. Listen in and challenge your thought process. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

It's about that time of year where parents have college coming up to pay for. Student loans are a joke, and parents are being stuck with the bill. Society has said, pay cash for your kids and never have them pay you back. There are better ways, and you as the parent need to stop using your retirement to pay for the kids' college. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

I stay away from the news for a reason, but I figured I'd take a listen this week, and now I'm mad. We are supposed to lose jobs in order to stop spending and get back to where the gov't thinks we should be. The thought process around this is absurd! Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

Why is it that so many of us forget so quickly that we lost money in a market fall? As soon as that rate of return increases, we relax and believe all is good in the world again. Why are we not paying attention and remembering what happened to our money just a year ago!? Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

If you have a business that is going nowhere fast, have you asked why? Is it because you don't love it, are you in your own way, or are you not filling your head with the right stuff? Get out of your head, open your mouth, and start working on your business. If you can't do that, then evaluate if you are doing the right thing. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

Here is an example of why Uninterrupted Compound Interest is what you want when looking at interest on anything you're saving. Many talk about compound interest, but they don't talk about what happens when it's interrupted. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

In order to make IBC work with life insurance, you want to have a PUA rider on the policy. In this episode, Ii explain what it is and how it works. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

"It's too good to be true," is what many think, but in reality, there are no deals, and that is what keeps it real. IBC is set on a foundation of truths, and many are not understanding those truths. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

As couples, we can do things together and be successful or we can silently support the other. What we can't do is fight with our partner and expect to make progress.

Auto-enrollment in 401K programs is a newer thing. This was not done when I was working for others as an employee. Today, companies automatically enroll you in their 401K program, and many are not aware. Please pay attention to what is happening, and ask the question of whether you want the money there or can use it for something better. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

Many think staring a whole life policy on someone younger is better. It is not if you want to pass on generational wealth and have a "Rockefeller effect". This is where having an IBC practitioner is important to help you strategize. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

Are you willing to admit when you've made a mistake? If not, that is when you have truly failed. Successful people don't blame others for their failures; they look internally, recognize what they did wrong, fix it, and move on. So many people believe someone owes them something because they deserve it. You don't deserve anything. If you make a financial mistake, then figure it out and move on. No one should bail you out of that. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

Let's pick apart advisors' advice. Their thought process is a bit broken, and some things are hidden in their content. Let's tell the whole truth. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

Making a change is not a one-time activity. If you want to be the banker, keep yourself engaged in IBC thoughts and re-read the books. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

Stop being fake; be real and think big. You will go places. Don't allow yourself to hold you back. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

While trying to get ahead in life, so many folks are leveraging themselves to the point of trouble. This is what Nelson did, and learning from these mistakes is where the Infinite Banking Concept came from. Have you caught the Disease of More? Be careful and pay attention to what you are doing so you don't find yourself over-leveraged, even if you are borrowing from your policy. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

Infinite Banking is such a different way of thinking, and we tend to make it harder than it is. We compare it to things we shouldn't, we compartmentalize money, and we struggle with loan paybacks. We have been conditioned not to think and our imaginations have been stifled. Quit making it so hard and get creative! Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

People love to blame banks for their financial difficulties, but are they really the ones who bear most of the blame? Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

So many people use lump sums of money to start a business but never actually pay themselves back. This makes your books look better than they really are. This was not a free loan to yourself; you must pay it back. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

Are you actually doing your due diligence on what to do with your money, or are you like most of America, just a bunch of sheep? When you come across IBC, you then are labeled a black sheep, and we welcome you here, but you have to understand that you question things while most do not. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

So many people put money into their 401K but don't know the rules. These are not officially hidden, but it seems as if employees don't know on purpose. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

So many people find the infinite banking concept and think it's illegal. In this episode, I explain why I believe we have lost the knowledge of this 200 year-old product and why you need to listen to people who are educated on it. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

Fair warning: this is a rant! ...and I have said most of this before! ...but a lot of you need to hear it again! When you truly understand what IBC is about, you stop listening to the noise. Let's get back to basics! Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com
