You're Building Wealth, But Are You Building Freedom? With Joey Muré

All right.

And so tell us, how are we doing that? Are you telling us with the start of the name of your company or walk us into it?

Well, I'll tell you this, well throughout Wall Street, we would like to consider ourselves a GPS system, okay? So think about it this way.

Your GPS in your car, it works if you have a destination.

If you don't have a destination, you sit in your driveway, it goes nowhere, right? But as soon as you put in a destination, it now tells you exactly the most optimal way to get to your destination.

So you have to start with the goal.

GPS, goal, plan, support.

If I have the goal, now that's where I was really challenging you up front to say, start thinking about what does financial freedom look like for you? We have over 10,000 people in our community online and we hear things, they answer that question for themselves.

We hear things from as simple as, I would like to be there to have breakfast with my kids every day.

Like that's what financial freedom would allow them to do that they're not able to do today.

Another person says, I just want to be able to pick up my kids from school every day.

Like they can't do that because of where they're at right now.

But financial freedom would allow them to do that.

Other people, Russ and I just got back from over a four week vacation in Europe with our families where we didn't have to be at work.

Like that is what financial freedom looks like to me, building those memories with my kids, building businesses with my kids.

Those are the kinds of things that it means for me.

So once you get clear on the goal, then you can actually put in together a plan.

And I don't want to monopolize your podcast, Jenny, but I can go on and on for days about this stuff.

So if you get the goal right, you get the plan, you can tell me where you want me to go from here, but I can fill in all the blanks.

I was teaching every January, pretty much, I do a presentation on goal setting.

And every year, I think I take it more internally.

But something that was fun that I want to share with you that you may already talk about is that it's so funny how some kids start walking at such a young age and other kids crawl for quite a while.

Both of mine were like that.

The myth may be Not so much of a myth, but anyway, that they're more mathematical process oriented when they take smaller steps, right? They're more methodical.

And it does seem like both my kids are that way, very much like me in that regard.
