Teaching Your Kids To Be Millionaires

We want our kids to learn money doesn’t grow on trees, that if they lose another pair of school shoes they are not easily replaced and that if they save some of their earnings their money will grow and give them increased wealth for their future.
From the time your child utters “Da-Da” and takes his/her first clumsy steps, you can start teaching them some important lessons that will put them on the fast track to millionaire status. Here are a few tips to help you on your quest in raising a millionaire.
Baby, say hello to money:
Find out what your children want to buy. Then help them think about ways they can earn pocket money and save for the item: toys and games if they are young, books, movies or a special event if they are older. When you’re paying the cashier at the grocery store, explain that you are giving the store money in exchange for the items in your cart.
Once your kid is a preteen, show them how you balance the checkbook, pay the bills and deposit checks at the bank. Once they are in high school, talk to them about your investments and check your superannuation statement together. Your kiddo may not fully understand all the specifics right now, but these exercises could plant those first financial seeds.
Let them breathe:
Do you think Bill Gates’ parents ever told him to stop daydreaming about that silly computer mess he was always jabbering about at the dinner table? Probably not. The most successful entrepreneurs started off as super-creative, free-thinking kids – and most of them needed the support and encouragement of their parents to hit the big time.
Research shows that most children start to exhibit entrepreneurial traits, including risk-taking, problem-solving abilities and a powerful drive to succeed, at a very young age. Unfortunately, many of these kids lose that capitalist spirit by the time they graduate from high school. That is why you have to stay on and encourage them to excel in what they are good at and are most happy in.
Encourage their strong suits:
Don’t try to fit a square peg in a round hole. In other words, your kids will never reach millionaire status if you force them to be something they are not. That’s why it’s important to pinpoint your child’s forte and focus on that.
Figure out your child’s strongest talent and which activities make them happiest. After all, if the passion isn’t there, they’ll never stick with it.
Eye on the prize:
If you want your little one to be the next Oprah, make her work for that weekly pocket money. Don’t just hand over that wad of cash because she’s your little angel. If you follow that route, your kid will never learn the skills to pay the bills.
Just ask Troy Dunn, father of seven and author of Young Bucks: How to Raise a Future Millionaire. He says parents of would-be millionaires should follow the “dollar-and-a-dream” approach. In other words, if your preteen claims she’ll just die if she doesn’t get those Justin Bieber tickets, don’t immediately hand them over – make her work for it. Tell her if she really wants to see that mop-topped tween idol in concert, she’d better get busy mowing the lawn, scrubbing the toilets and bathing Chino.
Encourage your children to stay on track by offering to add to their savings if they achieve a particular savings goal.
Give them a head start
Want to give your son or daughter a financial head start on their path to millionaire-hood? If you’ve got the cash, you may consider making a small monthly contribution to a savings account in their name. When it comes to investment accounts, the sooner you start investing, the bigger the nest egg grows. If your childs first savings experience is good they will be more likely to repeat it. So just think of what would happen if you started investing in your child’s future from the day of her birth.
Here’s an example: if you contributed $100 a month from the day your child is born until her 18th birthday, her savings account will mushroom to a cool $1 million by the time she’s 65 (assuming a 7% average annual growth). Assuming an 8% growth rate, you would only need to contribute $56 a month. Not too shabby.
Move Over, Mark Zuckerberg
If you make all the right moves, you may just be the proud parent of the next J.K. Rowling or Donald Trump (with much better hair, of course). With a little bit of encouragement, lots of love and plenty of financial advice, you can put your kid on the road to riches.

How to Break the Cycles of Mediocrity and Manifest Your Greatness
There is no greatness without becoming and there is no becoming with authenticity

In just a few weeks, we will be wrapping up 2023. Can you believe it? This year has been absolutely incredible for me.
I have seen amazing doors opened, new relationships formed and I am seeing dreams realized in my life. While this seems like the hallmarks of a great year, this has also been the most challenging year of my life. With all of the change happening in my life, I have been forced out of my comfort zone and challenged to grow in every area of my life.
I can truly say that I have made the most of my moments this year and I have used everything as a catalyst for maximizing my greatest potential.
As a revolutionary leader, I have the pleasure of consulting and advising leaders around the world to fulfill purpose, realize their greatest potential and make an impact.
I want to share some insights with you that will help you to break cycles of mediocrity and manifest your greatness.
Everything legal must come through the matrix
I am sure that some of you are wondering why I am using the term matrix. However, what you have to understand is that I am trying to make a highly complex spiritual principle practical to understand.
Regardless of your spiritual beliefs, every life has an origin and I believe that origin is divine and begins with eternity. You are birthed from eternity and into time to fulfill a unique purpose and assignment in your lifetime and generation.
The matrix is simply the portal or vehicle that brings something out of the invisible realm and into tangible form. The problem with much of the teaching today is that it excludes the matrix. We are told to believe that success is instantaneous and overnight.
Nobody talks about how a dream progresses through stages beginning with visualization and ultimately culminating in manifestation. Without a matrix or portal then everything that you attempt to birth and build will be illegal.
The matrix not only makes you legal but it gives you the authority and power to function as the greatest expression of who you were created to be.
Every matrix has an incubation process
While many people admire and respect me today, I remember a time when nobody knew who I was or the significance of my message. How did I get to where I am today? I got here through an incubation process.
In other words, everything that has been destined for your life is incubating and awaiting a set time of manifestation. The problem is that most people live their entire lives idle and never initiate the incubation process.
What do I meany by that? Most people are living reckless and very few people are living intentionally. I am amazed at the number of people I have conversations with that have no vision, goals or strategies for their lives. They show great promise and they have undeniable potential.
However, without development they will die with their dreams still in them.
Everything that has been destined for your life must be incubated and converted to become realities born to time.
“Visualize this thing that you want, see it, feel it, believe in it. Make your mental blueprint and begin to build.” – Robert Collier
You must give expression to that which is not yet born to time
When you think about a matrix or a prophetic incubation process, you have to understand that potential is often unrealized and untapped. In other words, your potential is in raw form and your potential cannot serve you as long as it is untapped.
The thing that makes me valuable is that I have the ability to convert potential into power. I have done it in my own life and I have empowered leaders around the world to do the same. How do you convert potential into power?
First, it is important to note that you have to perceive potential. If you cannot perceive your potential then you can never cultivate your potential. In addition, you must take the time to cultivate your potential. We often get excited about our capabilities; however, we never expand our capacity in order to realize our greatest potential.
In other words, the strength of your potential is only discovered through your willingness to stretch. The more we are challenged the more we are empowered to expand our capacity for greatness. Most of all, you must begin to express your potential. The expression of potential is different for every person.
For example, the expression of my potential is best demonstrated through the thoughts, ideas, products, services, books, etc.
For another person the expression of potential may look like a screenplay, artwork, sports, scientific discoveries, medical breakthroughs, etc.
Regardless of the form of expression, I know that you will live empty and unfulfilled until you make the decision to express your potential. The expression of your potential gives voice to your dreams, life to your vision, significance to your moments and activates your true power.
You must manifest your greatness
As a revolutionary thinker and leader, my work has impacted people around the world. I am grateful that my life is a source of empowerment to so many people. However, before anyone could ever benefit from my life, I had to make a non-negotiable decision to become who I was born to be.
I wish I could tell you that this journey is easy and that you will get there overnight. However, in a world that celebrates us for doing we are often criticized for being. As a result, I wasted a lot of time trying to be who other people wanted me to be instead of being who I was born to be.
There is no greatness without becoming and there is no becoming with authenticity. It is through our bravery to be vulnerable that we ultimately manifest our greatness. We do not bless the world by being a duplicate. We bless the world when we honor our difference. When you honor your difference you honor your potential.
Ultimately, your difference is how you manifest your greatness.
When you present anything but your authentic self to the world, you are playing small and you are robbing the world of your significance. Manifesting your greatness requires you to master your gifts.
