0:00.0	When you don't know what's going on with your money. I hear this a lot. People like, I make all this money, but I don't know where it's all going. There's different steps to money, right? There's different skills. One is, like you said, you could even put the first step as like create value, be valuable in some way. What I've been helping you do is just get organized. You got the making money piece figured out. Then it's like, okay, let's help you keep more of it. Let's have structures that build for you.
0:23.9	You are tuned into the Dr. Tina show with Dr. Tina Moore. For more, visit Dr. Tina.com. Derek, Van Ness, thank you so much for coming on the Dr. Tina show today. I am so excited to have you here. You are my money guy. That's how I refer to you.
0:38.7	And you have helped me tremendously over the last year get into some situations that I really
0:43.9	wanted to get into, like homeownership. And you just, you've been a guiding light for me.
0:49.1	So I wanted to bring you on the show today because I am getting a lot of questions for my friends,
0:52.8	like Tina, what are you doing? You're clearly winning. And you're my secret in my back pocket. So thanks for coming on the show today.
1:01.3	Really happy to be here. Thanks for having me, Tina.
1:03.7	Yeah. So can you explain to the audience who you are and kind of what you do? Because I'll butcher it if I try to, if I try to give any
1:12.0	description. Well, there's the version of me that loves art and racing sailboats, but the part
1:17.0	you're talking about is that I am a tax and wealth strategist. I'm the founder of Big Life Financial
1:23.1	and started the company because I worked for someone else.
1:27.9	We did a lot of strategy for small business owners.
1:31.6	And I just became really, really passionate about helping people figure out
1:36.9	how to turn their business income into personal wealth and freedom, right?
1:41.5	Because making a bunch of money running a business and being
1:44.3	super stressed out, like that part of it's not so great. I mean, running your own thing is cool,
1:49.7	but a lot of people, it turns into a prison instead of the freedom they wanted. And so my goal,
1:55.7	because I've been there with previous businesses that I had, is to help people break out of that. And that's really what I do
2:02.1	is help people put systems in place so that you can methodically make more money, keep more money,
2:08.3	be smarter with it, and build things that are going to create freedom for you rather than
2:13.1	making your life worse and more stressful. Yes. And that all sounded very appealing to me when I met you,
2:19.3	so that is why I promptly hired you and got to work. I was really scared of money when I met you.
