#3 "Motivation Tips" with guest Pat
" Win the morning, Win the day"
1. Free advice is the kind that costs you nothing unless you act upon it.
2.Most things that we think are impossible in life, is because we have never tried them. So go for every dream and opportunity before making a judgement.
3. A foolish man tells a woman to stop talking, but a wise man tells her that her mouth is extremely beautiful when her lips are closed.
4. Everyone is gifted - but some people never open their package!
5. There is no elevator to success. You have to take the stairs.

In this episode Me and Tala talk about our beginning path. What led us here and how we started our financial education journey. This episode is for you. Yes you! The beginner! We all start at 0. Or negative whatever! lol But just like our journey we had to begin somewhere. Baby steps my friends.
our brief breakdown of our humble beginnings:
1. I finally listened to an audiobook that many people always told me about called Rich Dad Poor Dad. It opened my eyes to this new world. Yup!
2. I applied my knowledge from the book grabbed my wife and took her with me to start this journey. At the library on Saturdays.
3. Started learning about real estate which led learning about everything about CREDIT.
4. Started educating ourselves on everything credit and how to get ourselves out of debt.
5. Started our journey of $$$ SAVINGS to rebuild our credit and save for future investments
