Building Financial Security and Freedom – Business vs Employee vs Investing – Anna Kelley
We recently held our nationwide fall Freedom Founders member event, where I had an interesting conversation with my good friend Anna Kelley that I’m sharing with you. We discuss how Anna and her husband found freedom and security through real estate, understanding the economy, and knowing her ‘why.’
Listen in to hear about Anna’s journey to pay off debt, learn real estate investing, and actively build wealth to allow for more time with family. She also discusses the first step everyone needs to create wealth, her checklist for making investments to protect her money, and why renting is becoming a trend in this country. Don’t miss this valuable lesson on economics and key areas to be aware of and ready for when dealing with an economic downturn.

P.S. Whenever you’re ready, here are some other ways I can help fast track you to your Freedom goal (you’re closer than you think) :
In this episode, we finish up the second part of my interview with Rob Swanson and his eight rules of investing. (If you haven’t listened to part 1, be sure to go back and give that a listen before jumping into this one.) Today, we pick up where we left off, covering rules four through eight and talking about everything from decision-making to cash flow and risk reduction.
Listen in as Rob shares his incredible insight and experience in real estate and investing to give us a few rules that help make our decisions and investments more solid. You will hear about the importance of looking at margins before buying and what boxes need to be checked when it comes to predicting a solid income stream. Rob also discusses how to define and mitigate the different risks involved so that you can come out on top.
Alastair MacDonald is a private advisor to established entrepreneurs, investors, and business owners, as well as a TEDx speaker who lectures on economic, social, and financial forecasts. Join me today to hear part two of our conversation at the Freedom Founders Mastermind, where we dive into the concept of certainty, how to hedge against a volatile economy, and why the abdication model is no longer one that works.
Listen in to learn the reasons why Alastair is not worried about consumer price inflation (and what he’s really worried about instead) and why the 401(k) is not always the investment that it is made out to be. You’ll learn why he is most concerned about the issue of division and polarity in the Western world, why your business is your best asset in a volatile economy, and how you can maintain its viability to weather the most intense economic storm.
