Welcome to Radical Personal Finance, a show dedicated to providing you with the knowledge, skills, insight, and encouragement you need to live a rich and meaningful life now, while building a plan for financial freedom in 10 years or less.

Today in the podcast, I'm going to share with you some ideas about building a great year for the new year, 26. Every year for the past few years, I've talked about New Year's resolutions, talked about goal setting, and I have a unique perspective that I believe you will find valuable. I have a unique perspective in that I speak with and I coach a significant number of high performance people. I'm not Tony Robbins, but I have a unique perspective from speaking with on an intimate level,

high performance people. And that has deeply influenced my life and given me some ideas

that I want to share with you about the areas that I think the majority of people, I would

reckon about 80% of people listening to my podcast, where you're

going to wind up. And I think that if you'll listen to the ideas that I have to share with you

in this particular podcast, I can save you years, years of hard work trying to figure some stuff out

for yourself. So sit back, relax. This is the show that I wish

someone had played for me a number of years ago, and I will now record that for you. But first,

I want to share with you about an idea that may impact you significantly in this next year,

which is quite simply, for one of your goals and one of your resolutions to be

getting smarter. I want you to think about how you can get smarter this year. Now, there's two

levels in which we can think about getting smarter. We can think about it on the becoming more well

informed or more more, yeah, that was too many more well-informed,

becoming well-informed or more informed. In general, there's kind of a colloquial way that we use

to express intelligence, which means somebody who is conversant in a number of different fields,

somebody who has a broad degree of

general knowledge.

So that might be an expression of it.

Or another expression of it might be simply increasing your personal intellectual

horsepower.

And I think either one of those would be good approaches for you.
