Not Me, But You!
Welcome to Not Me, But You! This is likely one of the most ironically titled podcasts since the focus is designed to be on the podcast listeners rather than the podcast creator. I spent half of my life as a school administrator and I want to share with you what I've learned about education, teaching, learning, reaching your goals, attaining your dreams, developing relationships, encouragement, motivation, business, income, and money. My desire is to shine some "psychological sunshine" onto your thinking. I believe it's possible for you and me to attain our dreams in life. But often, many of us need a good teacher, a good mentor, and a good cheerleader in order to help us along the way.
I am confident that you will learn some things from me. But more importantly I want to learn something from you. I will share what I'm passionate about. But I also want to discover what you are passionate about. And by listening, you will discover how to set goals, how to track goals, how to achieve goals, how to select a good "guru" or mentor or teacher or advisor, how to make money and save money. And most of all, I want you to discover what is your most valuable asset and how to gain freedom in your life. (Answer: your most valuable asset is your TIME). How do we do that? By buying and holding assets. But we need to learn which assets are best for us. You can become wealthy by pushing buttons on your phone!

Trump/Iran Strikes/Courageous Leadership Is Rare
Season 2, Episode #56. Not Me, But You! Podcast.
A quick episode about leadership and President Trump's decision to strike Iran. In life, courageous leadership is rare! Notice I'm NOT saying that you need to agree with the decision Trump made. But I AM pointing out that it takes courage to make tough decisions even when, as a leader, you know that people oppose your decision and you will need to deal with your decision being unpopular with some segment of society.
Critics are everywhere. It doesn't take much talent at all to be a critic. And everyone has an opinion, so how valuable are opinions alone? I don't personally care if you agree with Trump or disagree with him. I believe this was a tough decision for him. But this is what courageous leaders do. They take action, KNOWING that their decision will be unpopular.
Courageous leaders are RARE in life. And courageous leaders are often willing to do, what no one else will do. They take on personal risk. This is part of the battle of being human. You assess a situation and you make a decision. Some of our decisions will turn out to be wrong/incorrect. That doesn't matter ultimately. What does matter is are you a person of integrity and authenticity. Can you perform as a leader consistently without being impressed by your own title?
I pray for peace tonight, all over the world. I get downloads in Iran. I pray for their people, the Middle East, and for people all over the planet. I wish you peace and prosperity and happiness moving forward. Investing involves risk/courage also. So I thought it necessary for me to comment on this world event tonight.
Have courage today, to pick one thing, and work on your dreams. We will talk again soon!
I'm not a financial advisor. This podcast is for education/entertainment purposes only.

Schwab has a very user friendly app/website and their customer service is excellent. I can easily get to speak to a human being whenever I have questions.
