Taking Dave Ramsey Financial Peace FPU to Real Estate Community

Real Estate Broker/Owner with 3:16 team REALTY ~ Locally-owned Prosper TX Real Estate Co. #9001154

Doing something I've never done before and I'm truly excited about tomorrow. I'm taking Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University to the Real Estate community through a good vendor support - Old Republic Title (Shops of Legacy) in Plano Texas.

 

Janeil Lester - Old Republic Title and I have been discussing this over a year ago, and about how she could really impact the lives of the realtors she brings so much value to.

 

Mind Your Own Business: Challenges of Self-Employment

  • Cash flow vs. Business expenses
  • Income tax and self-employment
  • Medical insurance
  • Retirement

Self-employment means never having the constant, reliable paychecks that come in. We live on high mountains and low valleys. Hence, planning is more important than ever.

What would you need to do?

Dave Ramsey's FPU teach you about that and because I live this every day, I want to champion this to help the real estate community live our highs and lows.

More than ever, a small business owner needs to plan. Otherwise, as Ben Franklin says, "Failing to plan means planning to fail".

How often do we catch ourselves busy in our business than we forget to manage our finances?

Allen Saunders said, "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans!"

If you follow the Baby Steps, it works. I'm living proof of that!

I think it's great that you want to have an impact on fellow agents. I find that people really like Dave Ramsey's teachings or they really don't. All have to admit that his teachings have the ability to change lives.

Loreena, I love the video! That is exciting to meet someone that has huge influence on you. And paying off debt takes a lot of discipline and commitment, well done!

Tammie White - Definitely understand the "love" or "dont love" about Dave Ramsey. What I find most agents don't do - is have a plan. Any plan works - if we just work it!

I'm also finding that agents often think if they start spending money on all kinds of things, they will get business. Not necessarily so. I've talked to several agents about blogging and they pooh-pooh the idea but those same agents will spend thousands of dollars buying leads from Zillow.
