HEYYYYY Brittani!!!!
My favorite podcasts are definitely from BP! I love listening not only to learn about real estate, but I find myself compelled to the relatable, down to earth personalities of Josh, Brandon, and literally every guest they interview. It's inspiring how this community sincerely supports each other by sharing ideas and experiences, being open to collaboration, and offering real assistance. I particularly enjoyed Podcast 196: LLCs, House Hacking, and Saving on Taxes with Brandon Hall because it's very pertinent to my chosen real estate strategy. I also loved the most recent episode Podcast 197: Starting with $10k and Buying 52 Units in 3 Years with Chris Heeren because this guy is the quintessential go-getter. He epitomizes the phrase "If there's a will, there's a way."
My break through book (which also seems to be everyone else's here in BP) was recommended to me by a mind I highly respect, called "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki. It's a mentally transformative book that galvanizes our most substantial skills: critical thinking and problem solving! It demolishes mental barriers/excuses/limitations we create for ourselves and promotes creative solution finding to making the 'impossible' possible.
"The Tax and Legal Playbook: Game-Changing Solutions To Your Small Business Questions" and "What your CPA isn't telling you" by Mark Kohler, are outstanding books for incredible tax saving strategies and a gateway into entrepreneurship. Mark Kohler is the super passionate CPA and attorney who conducted the seminar I was referring to in my post. He was impressively engaging because he speaks our language!
My all-time favorite book is titled "Money, Master the game," which is written by my favorite human, Tony Robbins. (Check out his Netflix documentary: "Tony Robbins: I am not your Guru") I'm still working through it (it's a hefty 641 pgs total) but WOO!!! This book is a must-read! He lays out the advantages and disadvantages of various investment strategies (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, index funds, annuities, IRAs and retirement accounts) in the most digestible manner. He also takes the common denominators from successful strategies of the wealthiest people in America in order to provide us with applicable formulas for our very own investment portfolios. The objective of the book is for us to take action by setting incremental, obtainable goals and to ultimately achieve financial independence and spiritual wealth.
What are some of your favorite podcasts and reads? I would love to hear what sources have encouraged your break-throughs and inspired your journey!
