Financial Underdogs: Recent Episodes
Damion Lupo
Financial Underdogs - Damion gets ridiculously raw about the numbers that determine your life. Both what to look at and what they mean. Not knowing the numbers and ignoring reality will keep you in shackles forever. Know the numbers and get free with the truth - a life by design, not default.
Have you ever looked at your yard, laundry, or even your taxes and thought to yourself, "why would I pay someone to do this when I could do it myself and save the money?" If you answered yes, then you've traded your money for something far more valuable: your time.
Today, I talk about how being cheap will cost you 10X the pennies you save doing the "thing" yourself, and the difference between buying time and selling your time.
The beeps and dings and buzzes are never ending and ever annoying until they are killed and stopped forever. We've become a world obsessed with all the stimulation and need to know the moment anything arrives, a text, an email, a slack message... and it's killing our adrenals, our focus and our presense.
Today I talk about how to take back control and power from the tech monsters with all their tools of distraction.
It's the end of the year, almost 2022 and it's time for Goal setting. But are you setting yourself up to fail before you start?
Today Damion talks about using the power of Gratitude to set the stage for Goals you can achieve.
Start with Gratitude for what is true and ONLY compare your goals to YOUR potential.
Stop wishing for Elon money, Giselle's body or Brené Brown's relationships.
Start with where you're at and target your potential as your vision.
Deep into that today... 2022 lets go!
Hope it works out.
Guess We'll see.
Sure would be nice.
Passive victim talk and the reason most people are broke, stuck and watching other people live the life they desperately want.
Today we talk about the key to shifting from hoping for something to happen to making it happen.
One key.
The tax courts just ruled ... If you have an LLC inside of your IRA and you’re using it to write checks to take possession of precious metals or doing real estate deals — it’s all disqualified now!
People have been lied to and now they’re getting penalized. You gotta do the research.
If you’re trying to do something to circumvent the system you’re going to get clobbered.
Are you thinking TOO Big?
Are you settling for average and not dreaming and doing big enough?
Your potential to impact the world, your spouse, your health etc. is far greater than you realize.
The step is to vision and normalize this vision by surrounding yourself with those who want you to win and live a BIG vision?
Lost a dear friend and mentor this month, the world will miss him. Found out today that Gene Guarino passed away last week.
He was famous for many things and cherished for more. I will miss his warm heart and his generous spirit.
This is my tribute.
Bitcoin is hitting it's all time high and will go higher. Will it go up 10 or 20% no. It will go up 10-20X because it's an exponential technology and based on a network that becomes exponentially more valuable as it grows. Doubling the network of users will make Bitcoin 10X more valuable.
This applies in our lives too, build a network and watch the value of your impact explode exponentially. No more 2X thinking, lets think about 100x and using the power of the network and Metcalf to free the world.
It's official, Fed Chair Jerome Powell and SEC Chair Gensler has blessed Americans by deciding not to regulate Bitcoin like China. Wow, thanks guys, you do know it's decentralized right?
Love the arrogance of these overlords.
Another Overlord, Senator Manchin will Only allow $1.5Trillion for the recon bill in Congress, wow, now he's conservative :-)
Student loans being forgiven, Exponential tech changes and asset price thinking are all packed into this episode.
Congress is about to blow up Self Directed IRAs with the reconciliation bill. This ONLY impacts IRAs (both traditional and ROTH).
Two main things:
Checkbook control SDIRA's that own an LLC will be banned.
Self Directed IRA's will be prohibited from investing in private placement syndications. No more apartments etc.
Ticking time bombs.
Want to fix this? Learn more at eqrp.co
They (Democratic Congress) want to kill the ROTH, disqualify IRA's from investing in apartments, raise everyones income taxes, keep people poor, grow the government and keep you trapped and addicted to the politicians, while they go to $30,000 Gala's a the Met - yes AOC!
Crazy but true and all will happen in the next 2 weeks - by end of September 2021) under the reconciliation process with a simple majority vote, no filibuster option.
This legislation could crash the stock market, big changes coming
The last 20 years changed everything.
A divided nation, between Makers and entitled Takers.
The volume of Takers is exploding, taking $ from the federal government and the nation is addicted, forced out of survival to do whatever Uncle Joe demands, commands OR ELSE die.
Since 9/11, we've allowed the degradation of American authority through endless wars, a Patriot Act that's destroyed liberty and freedom and an entitlement system crushing Americas secret hustle sauce.
Time to wake up.
Ever have someone offer a free lunch or encourage you to invest, or push something on you without really knowing why they're so focused on you doing their thing?
Money.
The world is full of snake oil scheme artists and advisors with their slick plans to help you avoid tax and boy do they sound good! But be weary and careful that you have the rest of the team too, the narrow experts like CPA's and Attorneys. No wealth strategist or tax advisor replaces all these narrow experts.
Why were Americans in Afghanistan? Was it to fight terrorists or was it for something bigger and nefarious?
It was for one purpose money.
The war was for minerals that China now has a direct ability to tap into as they share a border with Afghanistan.
More today on what to do with misinformation being pushed by the talking heads at CNN and the truth being censored.
How do you know when something is too good to be true?
Investments or Wellness, it's always a question you have to ask yourself and watch yourself when your initial reaction to some new info or opportunity is: It's Too Good to be true.
Is it or are you just not seeing it because you're skeptical and afraid of making a mistake?
Senator Dick Richard Shelby pulled the ultimate move to crush Crypto this week to give more bacon to the military. What an absolute idiot! More on this today and what we need to do to protect our wealth.
From Roadhouse 1989 - the key to life.
Be nice - until it's time to NOT be nice.
Case studies with clients and the IRS
The Price of Tomorrow is the price you pay for your future.
Kill your limiting beliefs by normalizing your stretch vision - surrounding yourself with people and their normal, which is your stretched self.
Spent a couple days in a mastermind with my friend and mentor Jay Geier doing this and then came back with a vision 10X bigger than last Sunday.
Now it's about growing all the way up, not half way like most of the population.
Do you have World Class Relationships? or mediocre collisions with people you've been entangled with?
Last weekend I flew 3000 miles and drove 300 miles to have 3 dinners with a few of my World Class Relationships because WCR's require entropy, a continuous infusion of energy into anything you want to thrive and not die.
My 4 rules for WCRs: People need to be Future focused, Honest 100% of the time, Candid and Growth minded.
WCR's are a choice. Choose Wisely.
Voter rights is mob rule.
We do not live in a democracy Mr. President, we live in a Democratic Republic and the problem is no division.
The problem is fake money.
The 10 year capital plan is what moves you from light weight to heavy weight. It's the process of planting seeds in every part of your life this year so that in 10 you have a flourishing orchard producing fruit from the seeds and nurture of today.
Diving into my personal plan based on my Lifebook for my company, body, relationships and my mission.
Expensive is a funny thing, why is anything expensive?
Most likely because the person saying it is addicted to working and trading hours for dollars.
Once you shift to trading dollars for hours, those things are no longer expensive, they're simply a choice that wealthy people have.
How is a $598 Gas fillup a blessing? Especially when your vehicle ends up in the shop at 1am after getting gas?
I share the virtues of being not broke and the choice we make for all the "Sh*t" that lands on us.
Choosing the interpretation of it allows you to see the opportunity buried in the pain and problems.
Decided today over a beer with David that it's time to become a Democrat and embrace the future with hope and reckless spending to solve 4 big problems like my friend Richard Duncan suggests.
I also believe the United States has a unique opportunity to lead the world in the decentralized crypto transformation and can beat China.
We need leadership and I see 1 party in Congress capable of doing this.
The shift in the global monetary system is happening.
It's a war between slavery and freedom, slavery being fiat currency and freedom being Bitcoin.
Spending a couple days in Miami this weekend at the Bitcoin conference was a moment in time that changed everything.
Listen in to learn why your life is going to be changed and impacted by the crypto revolution.
The last episode from Sedona where I found out how much my life weighs this week as I packed up all the sh*t that seems to have reproduced the last year and created twins.
Today's is all about Maslow and how people are trying to jump to level 4 in Maslow's hiearchy of needs, esteem with all this speculation going on in crypto and real estate.
The levels are: 1. Physiological needs 2. Safety 3. Love & Belonging 4. Esteem 5. Self - Actualization
WORK is required for fulfillment (see level 2 Safety) but people leap to level 4 chasing status, recognition and freedom, hoping for a big pay day without doing the work required in level 2.
All castles require a foundation.
Last 24 hours crypto had a correction and systems froze, things came unglued and somebody said the sky was falling.
I laughed when people freaked because all we did was flush out the get rich quick snowflakes.
Bitcoin is back to where it was in a couple months ago. A blood bath would be a 95% loss.
Crybabies! So what's the true lesson?
Your emotions are the difference between you being wealthy and free or enslaved to ever evolving markets.
Remember the $15 smoothie last week? Turns out that's a deal!
Learned that inflation and unemployment subsidies the liberal politicians have been sending out by the billions have destroyed peoples desire to work. Shocking right?
Today I went into details on what's happening and on the RAGE I have against this corrupt system that is stealing the wealth from the people by the bankers and politicians to maintain control and power over us.
During my move I'm noticing a uniquely fascinating thing.
I don't some of what's around me, it's just legacy, still around because it's been around.
Similar with people we serve, customers, clients or investors.
The bottom 10% of them are the vampires that suck energy and consume 90% of our time.
We have to be willing to sever ruthlessly those 10% so we can open up our time and space for those who are GRATEFUL for us, not always taking us.
Who and what needs to be cut in your life today?
A professional investor kills almost all deals he sees. Why? Because most deals are terrible before they even start.
Inexperience, cons, dumb ideas, lack of a professional team etc. etc.
Today I talk about a deal I saw this week that I killed for all sorts of reasons, 30% returns in 6 months, going global, secret broker sauce, basic Ponzi mumbo jumbo.
Everyone's chasing yield in this stagflation environment.
Remember, it's never about return on your capital, it's about return OF capital.
The Government just announced the "official" Inflation number is 4% and that's all prices have gone up according to their sorta secret formula for CPI but...
They are lying.
Why? I explain in todays episode.
And how to protect yourself.
Inflation is at least 15-20% - welcome the beginning of...
HYPERINFLATION
Every person in your life is one of 3 people, a G N or P.
Growth - they inspire you and grow you
Neutral - they're from the past or just seem to be going on merry go rounds.
Pass - these are people who suck your energy and generally make you hit decline on you phone when they call.
Who are you spending time with? The G's YAY! the N's and P's? Yuck, a life by default is coming.
Also - bonus, are financial advisors helping you become financial free or are they becoming free on your back?
DOGE coin is up 34% today, up 1000% in the last month. What is this craziness? Or is this just smart investors?
Today we talk about speculation and the printing press of money that's messing up pricing and has people chasing anything tangible and now even non-tangible like NFT's.
Then, what's one to do to not get killed by this chaos?
Episode 100
Do you know what game you're playing? Or maybe you're the ball just being thrown around.
Rules? Coaches? How do you win?
How do you OWN the game - first figure out what game it is and then the rules and then become the Tom Brady of your game.
How much is enough? How do you know?
Is it just a number or is it something else?
There's a combination of the PEEC life formula and the number but it's not the number you're given it's the number you create.
Freedom is in the PEEC + Self Trust MAP Blueprint
The fine line of saying no even when you're super excited is the difference between success and nightmares. Today's program is about when to say no and what to do before you say yes.
When you can say yes without any due diligence (hint, it's a who)
The no's open space, the yeses will bury you if done wrong.
Today's episode is VERY important!
Joe B dropped the hammer today, said he wants all the rich people to pay 50% + as a cap gains tax - so it's fair.
Joe, what do you know about fair, you've been sucking the government tit for 5 decades!
You don't have a clue what it takes to make a business, hire people and create value other than via family corruption.
Regardless of Joe's leveling the playing field, I'm not going to quit or slow down because I have a mission to break 1,000,000 financial shackles.
What are you studying and how do you study?
Here are my rules:
Surround yourself with winners and be aligned. Cut the sh*t out of any losers or whiners.
Invest Real Money in your thing.
Say no to virtually everything else. Put the balance in the parking lot.
Care about what you give in your thing than what you get. Others first.
Profit is 2nd-ary - not the focus but a side effect.
Focus on Mastery - working at IT at least 10,000 hours
Got my smell back a little and realized today that I'd been carrying so much sh*t...because I could smell the piles of garbage I thought were important, all the notes from years of seminars and other junk that needs to be gone.
Lightening my life feels good, what needs to be let go from yours?
The choice is to focus on the future, to be a creator of your life, picking the big over the next 3 years or being mad at the current media circus and listening to idiots like Maxine Watters. You choose, but choose wisely for your future depends on the brain food and focus you pick today.
What happens when you get Covid? I got it Monday, tested positive Tuesday and as much as it hurt and the struggle is real, wicked pain this week, the mission to Break a million Shackles is bigger than the pain so I push through and WILL NOT quit. For you.
The Federal Reserve head Bankster tried to smack down on crypto as a "speculative asset today" He didn't mention that the dollars he keeps printing are certain in their disintegration, losing 15-20% of their purchasing power every year. The criminal is exposed as the new wave of the future goes public with Coinbase going public and hitting $100B day one.
Nice. Ticker COIN
Are we better off than 50 years ago?
It's worth asking, when you look at the anger, food, pollution, money destruction, congestion and move towards people going into the Matrix.
In some ways yes, but in so many fundamental ways we are declining.
What can be done? Tune in for more
Great, now the US President thinks people should be able to sue any company that produces legal goods because those goods hurt people.
That's like saying we should sue Toyota because someone takes a truck, gets drunk and runs over a bunch of kids. You go after the driver not the same truck maker!
Ugh, Joe, stop encouraging victims and blaming. Be an American who will defend the constitution and freedom instead of leading us towards a banana republic pandering to the life sucking injury attorneys.
Time to develop your blueprint for the next decade because by 2031 everything you know will change because of technology.
Either disrupt yourself or get disrupted, crushed and made irrelevant by automation, robotics, the blockchain and other innovation.
Time to MAP it and learn before the future lands on your neck.
The US Government ie. Janet Munster Yellen just pushed $650 Billion in USD into the IMF to support countries that have been impacted by the pandemic. Um, wait, the whole earth was impacted.
What's really going on? Today I discuss the real Great Reset and how the US Government is pushing to accelerate the digital one world centralized currency and is desperately trying to remain relevant as they become obsolete with the global decentralization.
Ever wondered where all the "Money" comes from? Something called Monetizing Debt, where the US Govt issues treasuries (an IOU) but can't sell them direct to the FED so they sell them to Primary Dealers (the big banks) who then immediately sell to the FED.
A few billion in fees and wa'la money is magically created for new US Spending.
This is criminal and corrupt and because it's kept quiet without media the masses focus on stimi checks and new roads.
Wake up America, our future is being stolen.
7 things that keep you stuck making $500k instead of $5 million
- Vision
- Insecurity
- Capital
- Network
- Belief
- Shinny Nuts
- Being off the clock
Got an email from a seller pointing out I my termination of a contract meant I'd lost my earnest money - made me mad, made me want to fight to be "right." Instead I sat, thought and realized the truth was he was right and he was gracious and it was an opportunity for me to live in the truth and write the check to own it.
Ask, "What is True?"
Are you defending your ego or owning the truth?
The difference between live acting pros and live acting amateurs is the pros practice 10-100x more than the amateurs so when they go live it's automatic and they can adapt with the open space of their mind instead of thinking about every little action.
Hope to see y'all in Dallas at SOSS this weekend!
The 12 days of Christmas are here, sort of. Today we're talking about 12 ways to spend your blood money from the future body of American, the 2 trillion of carnage against the dollar that comes to us in $1400 checks.
At least a little piece of the 2 trillion pie. 80%+ of it is kickbacks, subsidies and outright bailouts to institutions, cities, states and unions.
What to do with the $1400?
I've put together 6 great ideas and 6 BAD ideas.
Enjoy!
Today we are mourning, the loss of a precious child, making no sense but sadly the reality we are living.
As we process this loss, the lesson, the urgency is to LOVE on those around you and those who matter and the stranger.
Because we simply don't know when their life or ours will be complete.
Biden just signed the $1400 stimulus which will be part of the destruction of the US Dollar and the demise of America. Most of the $2 trillion in the "co-vid relief" was pandering to constituency and won't actually help people who've been crushed by the pandemic reaction.
Now it's up to you to decide whether you squander this $1400 or your next $1400 on a 65" tv or whether you use it as seed to build something of service that could set you free.
Will you use it, abuse it or plant it?
Who's fault is it?
The crap that makes you mad, is it CNN or Fox? Trump or Biden?
Are you bitchin about taxes or ex's, your kids, your dog, maybe Ted Cruz?
How much time do we spend yammering about things and people we can't influence or control and then WASTE precious life on someone else's marketing messages.
Today it's about being mad at YOURSELF so you can own it, take responsibility and live on your terms.
Today a client told me I should stop sending personal videos out and loving on my clients and friends, that it was "over the top marketing."
He said, you might want to keep things business and not mix personal.
I laughed to myself and thought this is what makes us special and why people work with us, because it's about the RELATIONSHIP.
More on this and the race to the bottom with automation and how humanizing your company will put you in a CATEGORY OF ONE.
You can SCALE and be Human.
Where do you get the truth?
Friends, Family, Spouse, parents?
Advisors who are biased and trying to sell their solution?
If you want the truth, the best place on earth is masterminds and mentors.
Diving into how to pick the right one and what to do with it once you're in.
Pick poorly and you'll find yourself swimming in bullsh*t!
Is Bitcoin immoral? Will it only serve the wealthy or will it serve humanity?
Today I talk the morality of honest money and how the fiat system may be the biggest heist in history, stealing from everyone except the top 1% and redistributing wealth to the elites.
The great leveler of wealth is a fair, honest system that's built by the people for the people.
Fiat is dead. Central Banks are running scared.
Learn why this matters and become part of the solution.
Right now the masses are chasing everything hot and missing on the thing that will sustain and thrive, maybe sooner than you realize. The masses are missing the metals.
Next week could bring a move in Silver because of physical shortages and futures that don't roll over but are called.
Meanwhile the crypto bull is on fire and the stock market bubble along with the real estate market are glowing red hot.
What to do? Get ahead of the curve, act before it's obvious.
Ever heard someone at a company say "that's our policy?"
What about when it's illegal, unethical or immoral or blatantly lunacy?
Today's show is all about the Bed Bath and Beyond policy of doing what they want regardless of what's on their site because they are addicted to cash and refuse to play by Damion's 3 rules:
-
Do the right thing
-
Do the best you can
-
Show people you care
Sad but true and all too common.
The frenzy around crypto has people staking their kids, dogs and houses with absolutely no idea what they're doing. Is this foolish or brilliant?
Today I go into crypto bubble and the silver blues and help you stop shooting from the hip with glands and greed and refocus on learning and fundamentals that will sustain you into financial freedom.
The official number for inflation from the government is 1.4% over the last year.
Lumber is up 114%
Bitcoin up 300+%
Gold up 30%
Silver up 17%
Seriously?
Yes, I'm telling you they are lying, so now what do you do?
How to plan for your lottery event. Plan for it or when you win the lottery you'll repel it. Plan, train and prepare to BE rich, not just get rich. Planning changes everything so it sticks.
Sent out a big email and text today sharing some tax tips to help people reduce their taxes for LAST year and as is always the case, a few clowns decided to send a man FU back at me.
If I cared about the sad mad recipients middle finger it would have bothered me but instead I laughed at them, deleted them from any future communication, blacklisted them and focused on the hundreds of amazing people who said, YES, thank you!
Focus on your fans, delete and ignore the haters.
Live on your terms.
What's your R&D Budget?
Are you waiting to invest in your health, wellness, potential and greatness until AFTER you get the money?
Does Tom Brady invest before he gets paid $50 million or after?
The secret is to invest in your R&D way before you get paid.
B.A.GOAT - starts with the M&T you put in yourself.
Today's show is important for launching you past your stuck.
It's ironic to have socially distanced NBA players 6 feet apart while they sit and then having them all over each other for an hour on the court.
My dear friend Peter Schiff hates Bitcoin and believes only gold & silver are money. Peter is right, in fact he's predicted 18 of the last 3 recessions. Brilliant and someone to listen to but in terms of tech he's in missing the future, the tsunami of money going entering crypto.
Hang on, today we talk the reality vs. the twilight zone of where we're headed.
How much drama are you bringing to your conversations?
Into your life, into your work?
Are you allowing yourself to become a bi*ch and spill your toxic goo and drain people you're around as if you are bestowed the right to do this or do you energize others when you interact.
The World Class leave their emotions at the door and are PROS, they focus, communicate with certainty and candor, starting with questions not problems and objections.
Want to move from Poor Class to World Class, start here
A micro-dick slanderous cu*t sprayed his venom, attempting to puff and destroy a reputation and a mission.
He didn't win.
He failed to destroy because mission and kindness will beat darkness and smallness.
We all face enemies at the gate and anyone with a big mission and vision will struggle with idiot crabs trying to drag you down.
The counter punch to little dicks is truth, respect and the love and connection of friends, allies and a tribe.
Today was a ride into both light and dark.
How often do you find yourself wanting to have it like it was or planning your future based on the last 12 months or present thinking?
How often are you battling between sticking with something or letting go and looking like a flake?
The key to a fulfilled life of joy, success and winning is to commit and don't quit until it's time to quit.
How do you know when?
By making sure you have the right enablers, masterminds, mentors and guidance to focus and cut as needed.
Today the Anti-Wall Street was back at it attacking - this time SILVER.
We woke up to a wiped out supply across every major dealer nationwide and any pre-orders or options to get physical supply had a 10-20% surge in pricing from the previous trading day.
This is crazy but maybe not.
The Silver Market has been manipulated for years by JP Morgan Chase (they got fined a billion dollars in 2020 for this) and the price is still wholesale compared to global costs.
Learn more on todays episode.
Gamestop won't stop, back over $300 to end the week.
Elon's says "it's inevitable" and added Bitcoin to his twitter profile. Game On, the markets are crazy and it's a war between the powerful insiders and the masses.
Who's gonna win?
Looks like the generous gift of $2.75 Billion from Gary Cohen and Ken Griffin to Point72 was a temp gift to bail them out when they got short squeezed.
Today Robinhood and many other brokerages froze any buying and allowed the hedge funds to open short positions Fu*king the investors who were buying long. Nice play Wall Street crooks!
Here's how Citidel, Point72 and the other insiders murdered the Robinhood masses.
This won't likely end well.
How does a stock go up 2000% in a month?
Mob Investor Justice.
January 2021 we're seeing the great short squeeze attack on Hedge Funds by Reddit mobs.
Digging into what happened and the lesson of the short sellers who lost billions this week:
The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.
Remember this next time you plan to invest/speculate in something. There's a lot you don't know or the X-Factor.
Ask: What don't I see?
Financial freedom is understanding wealth awaits the man or woman who kills peoples' Migraines.
Migraines are an unbearable pain - we'll pay anything to make it stop.
Headaches are a pain we deal with.
When Financial Freedom is your migraine you value personal freedom and will do whatever it takes to alleviate the idea of financial shackles.
Financial Freedom is a 3 step process:
- Figure out their BIG Pain
- Get the Super Aspirin
- Deliver the Relief
Wealth Happens.
How you see Bitcoin is likely how you see the world.
If your highest priority personal property starting with your own body or do you believe in government angels endowed with the right to decide your course.
Forget liberal, conservative, republican or democrat.
Today it's self responsibility and a free people VS. a government of Masters overseeing a populace of slaves begging for more entitlement lashes.
The choice is clear, chose personal responsibility or you are ENDORSING SLAVERY.
Oh the air, the glorious air outside! When's the last time you went outside and connected with people and really got energized by the right people face to face?
Today is all about building world class relationships with people that energize you and making sure this is rhythmic and consistent.
New President in town today. The age of Biden, Takers and big government has begun.
The difference between Makers and Takers and the worst - the Fakers like the podcast and blog hosts who pitch real estate deals to get you to invest in while they're getting illegal kickbacks telling you they have the formula of the rich but the only one getting rich is the faker!
What's the formula? Work, time, dedication and the right Makers surrounding you.
Meet David my partner and a world class maker.
The thing you love, cherish, adore, would take a bullet for, sometimes needs its own bullet.
Do you need to:
Kill your environment - leave Cali, NY or America
Kill your Job - for a place that you can grow
Kill your Relationship - when it's not the right one
Kill your investment and bias towards the past that used to be the "thing"
All cognitive bias' for the past with you living in the phrase, "if we can only get back to X."
...we are not going back to normal.
Answer: PIVOT
Why do people wait for all green lights before they leave the driveway?
What is wrong with people who say: I'll be happy when X happens...
Simple, they aren't taking ownership of their lives and getting dirty.
The key to breaking free financially is getting CLEAR - OBSESSED - DIRTY and then Selling, Measuring and Refining with real people as you exit your bubble.
Join me on this journey into freedom.
How do you pick the proper shiny object?
You learn how to narrow your focus by putting everything except the 1 thing in a parking lot.
How do you pick the 1 thing, listen in for my process of shifting nuts and picking the most valuable thing.
How do you get financially free? The perfect plan?
Forget about perfection and take persistent action towards progress, PROGRESS!
No more focusing on green lights before we roll out into the world.
Momentum comes from little things each day
Measure things daily, what? listen for details.
Retirement is a stupid idea.
Pay off your credit cards and pay yourself daily.
Create World Class Health, Relationships and more money than you need to live earned from assets and not your time.
Finally something positive, I've found Clubhouse and am engaging. Check it out and if you need any invite, shoot me an email Damion at this show!
What happens when someone steals your idea, copies it, tries to beat you down and make you stop? Do you quiver, wait, agree, die? Or do you get inspired by the jealous, scared, small spirit?
Do you move in spite of the opinions?
EVERYONE has an opinion based on their agenda, including you. Banks, financial advisors, family, friends...even you.
Get clear on the agenda and you'll understand who's in alignment with you or pretend and stay a slave to others' agendas.
Today the power went out, like in the TV show Revolution - but not quite that bad. Had to go into contingency mode to keep life moving.
I was ready and I lost about 10 minutes, what happens when your power goes out, food dries up, you're attacked by violence, when your income shrinks ore disappears for a period? What happens when the government prints your dollars worthless?
Are you ready or are you smoking hopium?
Time to get ready, to plan, train and get the foundation in place for the storm.
You'll be broke your whole life and likely poor if you don't get in the game.
Start, move into it and learn by being IN the game of money and investing. You'll learn by being in, growing new muscle and before you know it things that scared you will feel normal.
The words in our minds and out of our mouth define us. They reinforce our beliefs, they are weapons.
They can heal us or hurt us. They can destroy or create our future.
Wealthy people think/live abundance. Poor people live scarcity and live enslaved.
Today we talk about the differences between wealth words and poor words and the difference in how these two minds process teams, healthcare, education and the choice of defending the past vs being present in the creation of a future by design.
Free thinking is dying in America, what to do?

Every year I spent a few days reviewing the previous year and planning the next year. I ask 6 key questions as the foundational part of defining what needs to stay and go. Here they are:
What am I grateful for?
What did I learn?
What do I need to delete?
What do I need to add?
Who do I need to delete?
Who do I need to add?
How did it become okay for 25 year old adults to live at home with mommy and daddy and those adults not be mortified?

Damion talks about his reaction and getting through it and being done with the bad apple forever.
80% of your results are going to come from 20% of your work/clients/investments etc.
Out of the 5 people you spend the most time with there's 1 (20%) that will be the game changer, that will inspire you and drive you to greatness.
If you're struggling to figure out who that is, might be time to fire one of your 5 and hire a mentor that will inspire and drive you to the ONE thing that will make all the difference.
A life by design vs. by default.
Crazy times we're in where you're tracked and tricked by the government and tech companies, giving away more and more freedom by centralized information manipulation and the shift to a cashless society. Feels dirty to use case, like we're criminals now, it's crazy!
FU - where we talk raw, rugged uncanceled truth about money, investing, finance and breaking those financial shackles forever.
The BIG storm is coming, what do we do?
Borrow & buy real estate with cheap money?
Buy Gold
Buy Guns?
Hide in the woods and learn to make shelter from pine trees and live off of wild dear jerky until things get normal
Ignore the whole “thing” whatever it is as a big hoax.
The masses are Gazelles running together but why and where are they going?
The trick to financial freedom is momentum.
There is no TRY, there is only do.
Can't creep through the sandy parts of life or you get stuck and have to go backwards. it's about Boldy moving through it all.
Found myself listening to a very successful doctor last week who was championing the virtues of socialism and blasting Trump. WTF? Why?
In this episode I diagnose the true root of the anger among BLM protestors and the rioting and the feeling of need to go to socialism to make it fair.
We're having the wrong argument and the violent masses are idiots with the wrong driver. Eventually karma will arrive.
Asking better questions is where freedom starts. Clarity is power and breaking free from assumptions breaks the cycle of delusion.
The One thing that will set you free. Today we talk about:
The Big Vision, the Narrow Vision, the Strategy and the tactics to creating a life by DESIGN And not by DEFAULT.

Much more on week 27!
Ever wondered why some people are financially free and others struggle? Comes down to a small number of things. One of the few is:
Commitment.
Ultimately if you aren't committed to freedom you're doomed to slavery and mediocrity, trapped by your own shackles.
Most people today are obsessed with happiness and finding their bliss.
Wrong. There's a price to be paid for freedom and it's not easy, effortless or missing the blood and bruises.
A family member inspired this episode.
3 Rules to chart a course of prosperity in business and life:
-
Do the Right Thing
-
Do the Best you Can
-
Show them you care.
Corporate manuals be damned, keep it simple and build relationships around these rules. Do this and competition will not be a concern. Do this not and you will fight to the bottom based on manipulation and price wars.
Is the Scarcity minded dufus inside running your life?
Can you let go of the addition to money, speed and a daily thrill and move towards mission, flow and freedom?
Obsessed with discounts or do you value quality, talented teams and your time?
Do you speculate or invest? Short term or long term?
Pay now or pay later, depends on your addiction level. That of a 14 year old adolescent addicted to feeling the rush or are you matured to the dedication of a mission - compelled by a north star.
Does guaranteeing debt matter? Should you take out as much as possible? At least know the risks.
Plus, the neo-marxist's trying to destroy freedom and enslave us all with their mob tactics and racist activities with one focus, not at making things fair but destroying the a system of freedom to replace it with a dystopian utopia lie. USSR and Venezuela failed, why not try it in America comrades?
Lets take a stand now. Push back on this insanity or we'll all be slaves together in the 21st century.
“If you are depressed you are living in the past.
If you are anxious you are living in the future.
If you are at peace you are living in the present.”
― Lao Tzu
This quote reminds me of 2002 when I came to grips with REALITY that I hadn't done any bookkeeping in 3 years - anxiety about the future - imagining jail. Talk about FEAR!
ACTION - taking a step, we grow, we learn, we get unstuck.
What's 1 step you need to take today?
Start by PURGING or at least clearing a space to work and think.

Responding to one of the fans of FU, who asked why isn't it important to pay taxes to help people? I explain why taxes are a bad idea and why the government Doesn't want you to pay taxes and have written the code to do this very thing.

What does a recruiter have to do with the Underdogs? People!
Whether you're looking for amazing opportunities or looking for talent, two choices, do the work yourself or get help.
I was stupid for years doing the recruiting myself. Chelsea found me and everything changed. Having a rockstar recruiter is leverage.

Good friend and change maker Michael Blank shares his journey and fight through the lessons of making it and losing it and then tackling the mission of breaking shackles and guiding people to financial freedom through his real estate investor teaching and platform building...but before that we dig into his deep why, the soul of the man, the myth, THE Michael Blank!
What's the key to winning? How do you beat Goliath and get past the fear of losing, making the wrong choice and the pain of failing? Choosing and committing with a focus only the underdogs have buried in their souls.
We all have a choice, chase money and sh*t or pursue a mission of exponential impact. To do this we have to decide to purse mastery, excellence and being the best. Never focusing on being the cheapest or ripping off others thinking we can beat Goliath as an imposter. Be brave friends, go for it and find the courage to pursue the mountaintop. The world needs you to take that step!
A dream just came true, now you can get up to $200,000 out of your TSP or 401k and start doing things you want instead of being stuck in wall street scams! David and Damion talk about this and how to unleash your money that's been in 401k Jail!
Today is the day, it's time to use this amazing opportunity of quarantine to reinvent our lives. Starting with a blank slate, clean slate lets remove all the junk, the misaligned people, stuff and business activities and open space for a rebirth.
Big mistake is to double down on the past and keep doing it because we've always done it. Instead what if we asked better questions about what's possible and what's coming.
The future is a changing and we either acknowledge or we're gonna get run over.
Let's roll Underdogs!
24 year old Hayden Crabtree, bestselling author of Skip the Flip, joins me to share how he worked for free for a year to show seriousness with an investor who became his partner and then in less than 4 years he became financially free at an age when most of the population is finding themselves. We talk mini storage, video games vs. financial freedom, the mission and the spirit of abundance. A true badass underdog Gen Z focused & driven on creating financial freedom AND sharing the path for others.
The CARES Act and how it just gave you a couple hundred grand...maybe millions.
- Section 2022 allows you to take a Disbursement up to $100k out of your 401k, TSP, IRA, or any other qualified plan and either keep it (pay taxes over 3 years) or roll it over into a self directed plan like an eQRP® Boom!
- Section 2022 also allows you to borrow up to $100k from your 401k's, make no payments for a year and then pay it back over 5.
- Lastly the NOL, net operating losses in 2019 and 2020 can be applied backwards so you can get a tax refund from 2014-2018 with an amended return...more on that
Lastly, the opportunities are coming and will be some of the biggest of our lives in the next 2 years. Time to get ready is NOW.
A P.E.E.C. life requires the right environment. 13 days ago I realized the urban environment I was living in was getting more dangerous and my level of anxiety was increasing as more shootings were happening within 3 miles of my home and burglaries were exploding.
My mission help break 1,000,000 free from financial bondage was being compromised. How to fix this? Decide on the right environment and move. From decision to moving truck - 6 days.
Plus my friend Dr. Tom Burns' book Rich Doctor is coming!
This week we explore the consequences of an exploding government debt, trillions in FREE money and the loss of liberty and freedom as we beg big brother for safety and security.

- Denial to 2. Anger to 3. Depression to 4. Bargaining to 5. Acceptance.
How we're processing each of these and how to get out of the depression trough.
Also explored the double black swan and how to think through the survival strategy plus the opportunity on the other side of the survival. We need to realize without both we're toast. With one or the other we're delusion.

David joins Damion today for a discussion on the mindset and mistakes of the average investor, concerned about getting into a hot deal instead of planting seeds in their own education and ability.
