True security…Has little to do with money… Everything to do with creativity, courage and commitment. Money comes from other people by CREATING VALUE for them. Then… Having the COURAGE to offer the value. Then… If the offers aren’t accepted… The courage to find out why… And again… The CREATIVITY to improvise. Creativity and courage are muscles people ALREADY have… But may be a bit flabby because social programming prefers us to conform and follow THEIR rules…that benefit them. They can’t tax your creativity. They can’t make it legal to steal your courage. If we’re creative and courageous, why in the fuck would we need them? If we don’t NEED their “social security” then they LOSE power and they’re screwed. Our anti-dote to inflation and insecurity is not a pile of money… But a strong CREATIVITY muscle and six pack COURAGE! Ya feel me? Do you want me to share more about financial security through creativity and courage? Or Do ya just want to hear the typical 4% rule and spend less than you earn shiznits? 👇 True security? Or Trad shiznits? Sound off 👇 Rooting for Ya, Travis

Here’s a current example. United Airlines is auctioning off flight simulator time… packaged as a fun weekend including flight, food, hotel,… for two. Are frequent travelers participating in the bidding frenzy feeling closer to or are more repelled by the precious United brand?

I’ve read almost every popular personal finance book. And some unpopular ones too. I think most of the authors mean well. But… For most business owners… Especially internet based biz owners… Most of the personal finance rules RUIN a biz person’s chance at true financial independence. This is why… …even though biz owners make more than the average, they often don’t have much to show for it except higher levels of stress, family discord and health issues. So… I thought maybe? It might be useful to dissect some of the “popular” personal finance philosophy. Rules? Or Ruin? If this would be helpful… Sound off by sharing a common piece of personal finance you were “taught.” 👇 Rooting for Ya, Travis PS The “rule” that I followed which semi-retired me at 38, I’ve never found in a personal finance book!
