Failure. Many of us have forgotten what good failure feels like. Schools beat that feeling into you; as if they actually have any of the real life answers.

Being bad at something for the first time, testing a different idea at work, or taking on some new hobby: you are supposed to suck at these things. The growth in your life has never come from knowing how to do something or getting it right on the first try.

But that feeling of learning a new skill/idea, now that's where the joy and the growth is at.

Make it a great day because you have a choice. Choose to do something today that you suck at, and see how your mind expands.

Most families can’t cover the full cost of eldercare on their own, especially if they’re also raising kids. But the goal isn’t to do it alone. If you’re trying to figure out how to hold it all together—or make a plan to help you navigate this more smoothly in the future—that’s exactly what I help people do. Let’s connect.

Money notes from the Sermon today at Hope Community Church (Raleigh NC) 6/14/26

Do your things own you or do you own them?

What if you received everything you ever wanted, but missed out on what you were created to do?

What if the thing making you feel most secure is putting your soul at risk?

In finality, look for one place where you can allow generosity to interrupt your comfort.

My hope is that you use your resources to serve others and not only yourself.

Sometimes the problem with someone's plan (or lack thereof) is immediately obvious.

However, for many new clients it requires a solid in-depth conversation or 3. We need to understand how you think/feel about money and outcomes as much as the actual math of earn x, spend your.

Too boring: why do you want a boat? what purpose and which people will that serve? Boats have extra expenses, are you fully aware? what about time to use, store, and maintain?

Mountain cabin, motorcycle, RV....all the same. BTW, please don't buy a new rv....

okay, recent weekend i had 3 events in one day.
Oven had to be replaced
Ac quit working at 94° outside
Dryer quit drying.

See below for obvious and inexpensive repair on AC.

Fitness, finances, faith, family - all grow slowly. you have to put the time in to get out the result up want.

You certainly can rush money if you hit a winner, but its rare and most people lose more money faster instead by chasing lady luck.

Slow steady growth, especially in fitness maximizes the time you commit.

Kids will grow at the rate they are destined to grow, but their path can vary depending on how you input. You can also shut that growth down with the wrong approach...and each kid responds differently.

Faith builds over time. The same Bible i have been reading for 50 years has not changed, but I have.

Financial compatibility isn't really about the numbers—it's about whether you can talk to your partner about them. 💬 HelloPrenup founder Julia Rodgers has the simplest place to start. Share three numbers this week: what you earn, what you owe, what you're saving. How you handle that conversation tells you everything. If you're ready to build on it, I'd love to help. Let's connect.

When you have a chance, give! Everyone wins when we are givers.

Last week I had the chance to have fun and encourage some ECU college of business people.


Also shout out to my teammate ulmer - an ECU entrepreneur

One question that changes everything: What do I actually need from my career? 🤔 Author Simone Stolzoff makes the case that until you can answer that, every money decision feels harder than it has to be. Once you know what “enough” means to you, budgeting actually starts to feel freeing. That’s the kind of clarity a solid financial plan can help you find. When you’re ready to start building yours, let’s talk.

Gratitude and affluenza!

Understanding where you fall on the gratefulness scale can be humbling at times.

Many of us when just starting out in the world are grateful for nearly everything....a free lunch, compliments, or a helping hand on a project.

As we become more successful at home/income/business there is an opposite effect.

Our affluence can cause us to have affluenza...and our gratitude levels fall in direct opposition to our success.

suddenly that dinner that used to be delicious is now just ok.

that vacation we once dreamed about is now boring.

think about it this week and see if you can increase your gratefulness like this person who was head down into a box of cheez-it and loving life.
