👉 Stock market vs. real estate vs. your own business?

I had a blast joining the Infinite Financial Freedom podcast with JoshMettle of NEO Home Loans for an enlightening discussion about real diversification in investing.

We exchanged incredible stories from the lives of our family and our clients that contain very important lessons about real diversification.

Even though I was the guest and interviewee, you should listen to this if only for Josh's great wisdom. He's the real deal and I gained a lot of great thoughts and points from him just by being on his show. Can't recommend enough that you subscribe to his show.

Not true! Financial planning and coaching services are rapidly becoming more accessible.

I had a lot of fun writing this article.

If you own any mutual funds that track or loosely mirror the S&P 500, the S&P 400 Mid-Cap, or the Russell 2000 index, it’s very possible that some you are partially invested in companies “right down the street” from where you live! Have you ever wondered what Utah-based companies yo

We are in the middle of a global pandemic, coming off a stock market crash, and facing a potential recession.

I'm a financial planner. As you can imagine, people have been asking a lot if I'm doing okay (haha!).

Guess what? I am doing great! Why? I got more NEW clients during March 2020 than I have had in any other month in my business.

To top it off, I had ZERO clients stop services during March, even those who were furloughed or lost work/business revenue.

I had ZERO clients panic and sell out of the market since it went down.

Why? The answer lies in a principle that I think is one of the most important in life.
