    Do you have Trust?

    Do you have Trust?

    Jeff steers away from financial tips to address a question of legacy: Do you have a plan for when your time comes? Having a trust or a will isn't just for the wealthy; it's for anyone who cares about the distribution of their assets, no matter how grand or modest. 

    In this episode, we dive deep into:
    Expect the UnexpectedAs Jeff says, "We are all one breath away from death," emphasizing the unforeseen nature of our mortality. Planning isn't just a business strategy but a life necessity.
    Fairness to FamilyIs it fair for your family to navigate your passing without a guide? Jeff reflects on the emotional and financial stress that lack of planning imposes on loved ones.
    The Cost of EmotionsWith touching sincerity, Jeff delves into the heart-wrenching impulse purchases in the face of loss. A pricey casket or headstone represents love, but he questions if in death, the gesture holds the value it consumes.

    "Death is one of those things that we never know when it will strike. So having a plan is more important than anything else in this life." – Jeff Hockett

    Who do you trust?

    Who do you trust?

    Dive deep into the essence of trust - both in law and life - as host Jeff Hockett takes a refreshing stance on mixing personal beliefs with business. No more tiptoeing around sensitive subjects. It's all about aligning with clients who share your values! 

    In this episode, we dive deep into:
    Trust and Align with Your BeliefsJeff highlights that with over 332 million people in the US alone, seeking to please everyone is an impossible task. Instead, focus on the fraction of the population that resonates with you – that's where real professional satisfaction and personal happiness lie.
    Trust in Higher PrinciplesReflecting on the Easter story, Jeff challenges listeners to consider Joseph's leap of faith, drawing a parallel to our own life's 'limiting beliefs' and the incredible outcomes that can arise from trusting in something beyond our immediate perception, including a divine presence.
    Trust and TaxesIn a bold statement, Jeff notes that many people lack trust in the government's fiscal intentions. This skepticism fuels the pursuit of paying as little as possible in taxes, aligning with the podcast's theme of keeping more money in your pocket.
    The Eternal Reward of TrustEnding on a thought-provoking note, Jeff invites listeners to ponder their trust in spiritual tenets, such as those taught by Jesus and the Bible. He posits that trusting in a higher power not only enriches one's life journey but may also lead to material benefits.

    "When it comes to business or even having happiness in your life, you need to surround yourself with people who align with your beliefs... I say it boils down to trust." – Jeff Hockett

    In this episode, we dive deep into:
    Beyond The W-2A W-2 job might offer security, but when it comes to taxes, opportunities for write-offs are minimal. Learn why diversifying your income could be a game-changer.

    "Buying real estate, having houses or hotels, owning a railroad or utility companies was the way to win the game. And it's the same in the real world." – Jeff Hockett
