The Wealth Game: Safe at Second The Justin Goodbread Show

Where are you right now in your journey through the wealth game? Do you have savings or emergency funds? Are you investing in your future? Do you have a 401k? Have you started your own business? If you have, congratulations, you’re in second base! As we continue our journey through the wealth game, we want to begin saving, investing, and accumulating assets while we cast our eyes to third base. Yet—just as the run from first to second was difficult—the run from second to third can be arduous. So, how can you get there?
 
In this episode, I outline how to move from second to third base in the game of wealth. I define the Prestigious Accumulator of Wealth category and explain how you can get there. I describe why entrepreneurs should build assets inside and outside their businesses. I also highlight the role of coaches in playing the game of wealth and underscore why staying the course to third base is worth it.
 
“Those of us who make prudent investments, who make wise decisions, who keep the targeted mind—those of us who focus on that intensity—reach third base.” - Justin Goodbread
