    While it’s admirable to learn from your mistakes, if you can avoid losing years of savings and investment potential, your financial future will undoubtedly be more stable. 

    Thankfully, no matter your age, you can prepare your finances for the long haul by following the 5 Steps to Winning at Wealth:

    To review, the 5 Steps of Winning at Wealth are: 

    1. Having the proper money lens: Wealth is created in the service of others. 
    2. Have a workable budget in place to avoid pitfalls like consumer credit card debt.  
    3. Ensure you have a fully funded emergency fund to avoid missed payments, late fees, and high-interest rates.  
    4. Understand your investments and goals, then allocate your money accordingly.  
    5. Consistently focus on these steps to avoid years of struggle!  

    In this episode, John recalls his own financial journey and how it’s never too late to get your finances back on track.  

    In this episode, you’ll also hear:

    • What happens when you rush success 
    • Reality of zero-interest credit card offers 
    • Taking investment risks with no rewards 


    Must-listen moments: 

    [00:03:00] I'm still optimistic and I still want my business endeavors to grow as fast as possible, but before I decide to pursue expansion, I make sure to maximize the potential of every investment that I've already made.

    [00:04:37] We still have credit cards, but we never charge more than can be paid in full at the end of every month.

    [00:06:39] And finally, if I had consistently focused on these steps, I would have avoided the years of struggle, and I would have found myself much further ahead financially than I am today.
