Infinite Wealth Blog

Recently, my wife and I brought a new puppy into our life. What we realized was that this was not only an investment of capital but also time and energy. Getting a puppy is a big commitment, especially when you haven’t had a puppy in quite some time.

So how is this like the Infinite Banking Concept or whole life insurance?

You’ve heard the phrase, “communication is key,” While there’s nothing WRONG with this phrase, it can be even better. That’s why I prefer to think that GOOD communication is key.

I say this because communication is the minimum—it’s an exchange of information between two or more people. This may be verbal or non-verbal communication. However, on a foundational level communication doesn’t guarantee understanding. Therefore, you cannot simply seek to get your words out…you must also get them across!

What does it mean to have an open mind?

Having an open mind, I believe, is about the willingness to set aside what you know or believe—only for a moment—in order to entertain a new idea. It does not require that you throw away your values or ideals, simply that you be willing to listen.

When you can listen earnestly, and with the intent of receiving new insights, you may find that your views change. This growth can be difficult…and exhilarating. Growth is what drives us, elevates our consciousness, and takes us to greater heights.

Last week I opened the conversation about collaboration and the importance of collaboration in all things. Almost everything in the world functions based on collaboration, even in small ways.

My own business is a collaboration! Part of the reason my business is collaborative is because my goal is to support your financial journey in the most holistic way possible. That can mean different things for different people, but ultimately involves arenas outside my wheelhouse.

Collaboration is happening all around us, all the time.

Nature is a beautiful example of collaboration, since everything must work in harmony together. A flower results from a collaboration between the sun, the rain (or a gardener), and the ground. Not to mention other minutiae you wouldn’t immediately think of, like pollinators and decomposers.

What does this teach us about life?

What do you want to be when you “grow up”? What’s your dream?

I would encourage you to dream big and create space for those dreams in your life. Because God created you with the agency to make your dreams a reality. And when you make space for those dreams to blossom, you are slowly but surely paving the way for yourself.
