Business
Most people look at a dollar, or a hundred dollars, or even a million dollars, and think about ways they can spend it. In reality, money is so much more than just its buying power. Today, we’re talking about its investing power. In this episode our friend and money mastermind, Chris Naugle, is going to teach you a principle you should never forget, the one thing that unites us all: people always want to make more money. Once you realize this concept, you think less about how you can spend your money, and more about how your money can be a problem solver for others, and that’s where your money can start to grow. Today’s guest has a whole laundry list of titles, so long that it’s hard to pin him to just one thing. He’s a former professional snowboarder, financial advisor, and a stock broker, managing millions in assets. He has been featured on HGTV Risky Builders, he’s made hundreds of real estate transactions, and so much more. It’s time to stop “playing it safe” by hoarding every dime you have in the bank. It’s time to make your money work for you. “The only way anyone can ever fail at anything is to quit….Every single successful person I’ve ever surrounded myself with has failed.
