Key Talking Points
- Orientation at John’s shop- offer to sponsor each team member’s membership in the Dave Ramsey personal financial series if they choose to participate. John also offers whiteboard sessions to team members or groups of team members on Business Math and another session on Personal Math. The personal math includes the team member on the whiteboard listing their assets, liabilities, after-tax spendable income, expenses, cash flow either pos or neg, 6-month reserve, and investment savings buckets.
- Mentor/mentee thought process- the owner is the mentor
- Lunch and learn with financial advisors, mortgage broker etc
- $100 a month invested at 25 years old, by the time you retire it will be about 1,000,000
- Getting the partner/spouse involved is key
- Transparency with business financial numbers
- Employees sharing with others how the Dave Ramsey Progam has helped
- The stress that is lifted when you can create your budget to be workable
- Social media impact- keeping up with the jones’
- Getting ahead of debt with the debt snowball- paying off debt in order of smallest to largest. When the small debt is paid in full, you roll the minimum payment you were making on that debt into the next smallest debt payment
- Educating the younger generation- setting their future in a positive direction
