What would you recommend for somebody who let's assume that somebody wants to start their own business to reinvest in themselves?

You said, okay, you have frugal living tips but is that the best way is it to save money first or is it

just to start investing start a side hustle person mindset locked in, what did they do next to build their own thing?

Perfect.

Great question, Scott.

So I think before even thinking about money at all, for me at least, what worked well was finding a mentor.

For me, my mentor helped, he was probably like six decades older than me, Very well seasoned, you know, executive.

I was very fortunate to meet him.

And he taught me some of the basic steps that I would need to work and focus on in order to build a

successful business down the road. So you know that includes looking at

finances but not just finances. Fig figuring out how to interact with, you know, prospects,

figuring out how to, you know, hold myself in conversations in the boardroom, whatever it is.

So I think finding a mentor in your area,

whatever it is, if it's a blog, if it's actually,

you know, building a brick and mortar business,

find a mentor who's willing to give you the time and help you literally jump ahead of the rest of the game because I personally think that mentors are the ultimate shortcut in life.

They can give you so much advice and help you save time, energy, and

money. So that's number one. And then number two, when it comes to money, yeah, so I would

probably recommend that starting off at paying off high interest debt so like credit card debt right so I mean definitely don't live with high interest debt

The second thing then is yes focusing on investing in the stock market for example

I'm so I'm a big believer in just investing in low-cost index funds so I'm very

passive I you know, I do know a lot more stock market
