He Who Holds the Gold…Wins!
Published March 10, 2011 |
Over the last week, I’ve been talking with several people who are investing everything in gold for fear of devaluation of the dollar. The question that keeps coming up is… “What do you think?”

What do you say when opportunity knocks? Are you ready? Do you tell opportunity to come another day? Are you ready? Are your finances in order?
I was at a presentation that my good friend and mentor, Greg Sofio, put on today. He was speaking on his book, Honey, I Quit My JOB. The main focus of the talk was the 3 Mindsets we need to truly create wealth. He shared this quote that got me thinking…

Published February 28, 2011 |
Over the last few weeks, I’ve been discussing the idea of eating out versus eating at home with my family. My daughters are amazed at the savings a simple meal at home can create. Do you know how eating out is affecting your ability to create wealth?
“You can act rich or actually become rich. Few of us will ever be able to do both, and we certainly won’t get rich by acting the part before we have the financial resources with which to pay for la dolce vita.” Thomas Stanley, Stop Read more [...]

Yesterday, I shared the idea that Good Stewards of God’s Wealth will take care of their financial house before they go off to play.
Today, I want to share some of the signs of playing first, aka folly, rather than taking care of business before playing. Take a look at King Solomon’s warning.
“I went past the field of a sluggard, past the vineyard of the man who lacks judgment; thorns had come up everywhere, the ground was covered with weeds, and the stone wall was in ruins. I Read more [...]

My uncle and aunt visited today. Annually, during January and February, they leave the cold Kansas City winter and hit the road with their 5th wheel to travel the Great Southwest. As part of their retirement they enjoy being together traveling. During dinner, my uncle and I had a great discussion about the differences in how wealthy people think versus the average Joe.
