Listen "Do You Really Want To Win or Look Good Losing? - Duron Chandler"
Episode Synopsis
This morning as I was reviewing my notes from Duron’s call last night I realized how fortunate I am to be a part of a community committed to helping people live their best lives. Duron made mention of how important his network’s support was in him smashing his goals. The conversation gave me confirmation that our movement is a necessary one. Helping people attain their dreams is our sole purpose and we are so happy that he has allowed us to go on this journey with him. It is so hard to believe this guy was in approximately 60k of debt and took 2 years to find work in his field of study after college. Today he has passive real estate investments outside of his 401k, a fully funded emergency fund, a happy marriage, a new child on the way, and so much more. It confirms that the strategies work when the appropriate level of effort is applied. I took a lot of notes during this call but the highlights from my view are below:For many people it seems like a life without discipline is the good life. Early on Duron spent his money frivolously. He bought project cars, ATVs, partied every weekend and stopped taking care of his body. Today, he has left those unhealthy habits behind and the majority of his decisions are the opposite of what he did in his mid 20s.•Do you really want to win or look good losing?oWill you take full responsibility for your situation?oAre you willing to give up whatever it takes to get what you say you want?oWill you stop raising your lifestyle every time you raise your income?•You can budget everything if you are willing to stick to your plan•Celebrate accomplishment of your goals•Getting a second job, diverting raises and other free cash flow from retired debt can be a powerful wealth building tool•Be clear on what is a need versus a want•Spend time getting to know yourself and then make the best parts of you better and manage your weaknesses•Be clear about your “why” and don’t waver from your pursuit of it when times get hard•Know that you can be the catalyst for generational wealth•Living paycheck to paycheck doesn’t have to be your way of life•You don’t have to repeat the example that your parents provided.

In the end they are likely to support you if you are truly committed to the change.•If what you have been doing isn’t getting you the results you desire find someone who has done what you want to do and share your situation with them. They may be willing to help you move closer to your dreams.•The road to happiness is a tough journey that will continually evolve. It is up to you to take complete responsibility for making progress on your worthy pursuit.Duron’s desire to give away $500,000 a year is audacious and inspiring and I’m certain he will get there through his disciplined lifestyle.As you can see there were many great ideas and concepts shared on this call.
