There’s something about the word strategy that just makes us automatically assume that we’re moving in the right direction.

In sports, it’s often the ticket to winning a game, but the same can’t be said for achieving financial freedom. The longer we assign ourselves to the belief that freedom is just a series of well-executed strategies, the longer we keep ourselves from actually achieving our goals. 

Ryan and Brad discuss why financial freedom requires a PLAN and why several good strategies lead to complexity and stalling. Tune into this week’s episode to learn how to implement a gameplan that will truly lead to your freedom!

Key Takeaways:

• A grocery store analogy (03:00)
• Determining the end goal (07:01)
• What actually solves financial independence (14:20)
• Two things that keep us from reaching financial freedom (20:05)

This is possibly the most important question you will ever ask yourself…

If you dare to actually do so. 

In this week’s episode, Jimmy and Brad are discussing why this question can be so challenging to answer. They cover why 97% of what we are taught undermines our ability to get what we want and steps you can take to get CLEAR on what you truly want. It is the crucial element fueling your path to financial freedom. 

There are so many filters in life that keep us from figuring out what we actually want. We often get self-conscious about our desires because we think we’re selfish. But the truth is, your “selfish desire” is just authenticity. And authenticity is required for being content and fulfilled in life.  

Key Takeaways:

• What filters you from figuring out what you actually want (02:00)
• How Jimmy and Brad react when they aren’t aligning with what they want (06:50)
• How Jimmy determines if someone  is being authentic or not (10:00)
• Why your “selfish desire” helps provide mental security (19:25)
• Figure out what you think is important (27:00)
• Categorizing goals (34:20)
• Recapping what we’ve discussed (37:30)

Today Ryan and Jimmy will be talking about simple success principles, long-term results, and what the "Lindy Effect" has to do with your Financial Freedom.

 The Lindy effect is this theory that a future life expectancy of some nonperishable thing like a technology or an idea is proportional to their current age. Essentially, every additional period of survival implies a longer life expectancy. 

So how does this apply to your financial freedom journey?

We tend to look at the things we purchase as depreciating over time. But when it comes to investments, we must look at the principles and ideologies behind those tangible purchases. If you want to have continual and consistent results, then it's essential to base your gameplan on a foundation that stands the test in time.

Tune into this week's episode to learn how to ensure your financial freedom plan is doing just that!

Key Takeaways:

• What the Lindy Effect is (04:20)
• How long the concept of running a business has been around (07:30)
• How you make money (12:45)
• What a 401k was initially supposed to do (20:00)

As you're probably starting to understand, financial freedom is so much more than retiring early or living comfortably. It is really about an internal transformation that enables you to rise to your fullest potential and, as a result, live freely.

Today, Brad and Ryan will be breaking down the "Identity of Freedom" and why they did their annual Rise Up LIVE event. You'll get an inside look at the themes present throughout the weekend so you can begin shifting your identity to better align with freedom.
