Career Happiness with Bert Purdy [Video]

By Austin Netzley

Only 13% of people enjoy going to work…

That is not acceptable…

Bert Purdy, of IntentionalEmployee.com is one of those few people in the 13%. He is a CPA, father, constant learner, and the host of a website where he shares his experiences and insights with the goal of helping other people find the same amount of happiness and success that he has.

To help us learn more about how you can find more pleasure in your career, I had a chat with Bert about:

His definition of wealth.
How to succeed in the workplace.
Why the ability to communicate is paramount.
Why you have to ask questions.
The difference between money and passion as a driver for career happiness, and which you should focus on.
How to make more money and get a promotion in your career.
Why you should act as if you’re an entrepreneur, even if you’re not.
And much, much more!

Book Recommendations:

Connect With Bert:

I love that Bert doesn’t say just merely follow your passion. In your career, passion isn’t enough.

You have to also find something that you can be good at, and something that can make you money. We all enjoy things that we’re good at, right? And if you’re good at something, you can almost assuredly make money from it.

Action Steps:

“Ask – what do I need to do to be promoted?” Show the interest that you want to be promoted, and prove that you have earned it.
Read Bert’s (and my) favorite book, How to Win Friends & Influence People. It changed our careers.
Raise your energy level and be more enjoyable to work with. Everyone else around you will do the same, and you’ll not only perform better, but you’ll enjoy it more.
Check out Intentional Employee, and reach out to Bert.

Invest Like a Pro w/ Russell Wild [Video]

By Austin Netzley

Investing is scary. It is challenging…

If you don’t know what you’re doing.

However, if you do know what you’re doing, investing can make you extraordinarily wealthy.

Young professionals have such a big advantage with investing. You have time on your side. So, it is so important to learn the basics of investing and start NOW.

With time, you can utilize the power of compound interest. You’ve heard me quote Einstein before:

Compound interest is the most powerful force in the universe. – Albert Einstein

If you can start investing now, and learn how to consistently make profits, you will be in an amazing place financially.

To help you do this, I brought in an author of two dozen non-fiction books, Russell Wild. [Read more…]

What is the best financial advice you’ve ever received?

“It’s hard to pinpoint maybe one best, I think it is a culmination of a number of bests. I mean, simplification is one of the great things.

Get to a point in life where you don’t need to make too much money, because most people are trapped. A lawyer or doctor that has high overhead, a big house, the fancy cars, it is really hard for them to get financial freedom. [Read more…]

The Best Financial Advice

By Austin Netzley

What is the best financial advice that you’ve ever received?

I had the great opportunity to ask a number of experts this exact question. The answers they provided were all quite different, yet are all so important.

Make your money work for you, not against you. Debt works against you, investing works for you. – John Lee Dumas

Compound Interest:

The wealthy understand the power of compound interest. Albert Einstein called compound interest “The most powerful force in the universe,” and “The greatest mathematical discovery of all time.” Debt uses compound interest against you (for example, if you buy a house for $150,000 and pay 7% interest and minimum payments for 30 years, you actually pay $360,000 for the house!). Alternatively, investing the right way works for you. $10,000 invested every year at a continual 10% growth rate will be $1,000,000 in fewer than 25 years! If you start at 22 years old, this is $1 Million from a mere $10,000 investment each year by the age of 47. Of course, the plan is to increase the amount you save/invest and achieve this milestone much, much earlier. Learn the power of compound interest, and utilize it.

Simplification is one of the great things. Get to a point in life where you don’t need to make too much, because most people are trapped. The other great thing is having multiple streams of passive income. Passive income is taking your income and putting that money to work for you. So while you sleep, that money is working harder than you work. – David Wood

Passive & Residual Income:

Multiple streams of income are a huge part of becoming wealthy, and will be a big focus for YoPro Wealth. With working income, you only get paid once for the work that you do. With residual and passive income, you get paid over and over again for your efforts – even while you sleep! These other income types are very similar. Passive income is derived from investments in which the individual is not actively involved (doesn’t require effort from you). Residual income is recurring payments after an initial effort. Examples of each include:

Passive income: online advertisements, affiliates, rental property, royalties from invention, dividends and interest from stocks/bonds, etc.
Residual income: books, songs, network marketing, online training courses, etc.

It is easy for young professionals to create financial freedom – all that you have to do is create passive income that exceeds your expenses. If you keep expenses low, then this is relatively easy to achieve. [Read more…]
