Agency And Freedom Through Business Cash Flow

Agency And Freedom Through Business Cash Flow
Agency, the ability to live life on your terms, is the product of financial knowledge and cash flowing assets. Most people focus on real estate when seeking cash flow, and while effective, it is extremely slow to achieve. Business cash flow can be and for centuries has been a much faster method and enables agency at a far greater scale than real estate can achieve alone. True agency requires betting on the Number 1 asset, YOU...and a business is a more direct reflection of your value than is your rental property. Highlights The inherent freedoms of living and doing business in Cape Coral and how it attracts new residents Importance of focusing on directly owned businesses to gain agency and preserving freedoms in America The benefits of owning real estate over other investments like gold, stressing the importance of directly owned assets for financial growth Why you should jump in, learn and gain experience in the investment and property market The success story of clients who turned their pet care industry knowledge into a profitable business venture The industrialization's role in creating financial dependence and degradation of family units The resurgence of small, local businesses for a stronger nation How to regain control of their unique genius and use it to build personal wealth, agency, and independence Links and Resources from this Episode Connect with Gary Pinkerton Review, Subscribe and Share If you like what you hear please leave a review Make sure you’re subscribed to the podcast so you get the latest episodes.

Living in Integrity is Vital to Agency
Agency is the ability to live life on your terms, to make your own independent and FREE decisions. That requires you to have enduring financial resources so you are not dependent on the government for entitlements... Which is where their control comes from.

Be the real you and speak your real truths!

Wisdom - Mind Your Own Business, Seriously
A bit of a fun play on phrases, my message here is that the key to growing Agency and preserving freedom in America and the world is to focus on your life and your talents and Master them. Spend less time on the lives of others and more perfecting and sharing your craft, your business with the world. If you're a master at your craft, then you have unlimited power to the Agency, and therefore you don't need handouts and entitlements, AND the government has no power over you. Thus the incredible 250 year experiment is safe, we will remain a free people and a beacon of light for the world to follow. Highlights The importance of focusing on one's own tasks and responsibilities and not meddling in others' business matters Why successful businesses need constant attention and nurturing, and if done right, will not be delegated to others for success Reasons for not venturing into public life because of its invasiveness How societal concerns arise when people forget that they're in charge, not the government The consequences of forgetting that the people elected the government officials, not the other way around The podcast's primary lesson is to mind our own businesses by maximizing God-given gifts and talents The pressing need to combat the rising threat of communism within America's own borders Links and Resources from this Episode Connect with Gary Pinkerton Review, Subscribe and Share If you like what you hear please leave a review Make sure you’re subscribed to the podcast so you get the latest episodes.

Finding Your Golden Nuggets and Enjoying the Journey
Your life has a powerful purpose and realizing that at the end, completing the journey is extremely important to you and all those you impact and leave to carry the torch when you're finished. Most of us don't know that purpose or why we encounter what we see as setbacks along the way. That's true for me, I get frustrated when my plan doesn't play out. My message to myself and Gary's Gulch today is that we're not playing out our plan, we're living out God's plan and recognizing that is key to a life of peace, abundance, joy and Agency.

Your Home is Not an Asset, Are you Sure?
Robert Kiyosaki famously put in his book Rich Dad, Poor Dad that your home is a liability, not an asset. He did a great service for those families that struggle with consumption and not saving for retirement, he woke them up.

Rental Properties Always Beat Markets Long Term

Rental Properties Always Beat Markets Long Term
This episode is the tale of two families I know, both have strayed from tier 2, betting on themselves and their directly owned businesses and rentals, into the glitter of the market fairy tale. They were convinced to bet on a good story, not themselves and the assets they control. Come learn why that is always a sucker's bet. Highlights The speaker criticizes Certified Financial Planners (CFP) for not guaranteeing results despite presenting precise financial plans. The emphasis on self-reliance in financial planning is celebrated, suggesting it can lead to greater agency. The second client case study, "Franco", underlines the importance of self-reliance. Despite having a substantial real estate portfolio, Franco experienced difficulty maintaining his income when he shifted focus away from his personal performance. The speaker dives into the case of his friend Franco, who heavily invested in real estate for cash flow over the past 15 years. He critiques this strategy given the current market environment and emphasizes the importance of owning hard assets. The speaker introduces the acronym I-D-E-A-L as it relates to real estate investment: Income, Deductions, Equity, Appreciation, and Leverage. He encourages a more strategic and sophisticated investment approach. The discussion moves on to the power of leverage in real estate and appreciation, emphasizing their symbiotic relationship. The speaker explains that when one is low, the other tends to be high, showing the resilience of real estate as an investment. A strong note of warning is given against outsourcing one's financial future to external entities, drawing on examples from specific investment firms. The speaker argues this exposes individuals to unnecessary risk and the 'market fairy tale'. He strongly urges listeners to not give up agency and control of their financial success, reiterating the benefits of self-reliance and individual responsibility in achieving financial success.

This journey compelled Patrick to write “Heads I Win Tails You Lose – A Financial Strategy to Reignite the American Dream” in 2018.
