Summary
Discover the importance of Warren Buffett's quote: Be greedy when others are fearful and fearful when others are greedy.
Are you on track for financial freedom...or not?
Financial freedom is a combination of money, compounding and time (my McT Formula). How well you invest can make the biggest difference to your financial freedom and lifestyle.
If you invested well for the long-term, what a difference it would make because the difference between investing $100k and earning 5 percent or 10 percent on your money over 30 years, is the difference between it growing to $432,194 or $1,744,940, an increase of over $1.3 million dollars.
Your compounding rate, and how well you invest, matters!

| 0:42.2 | Empowering women and men worldwide to financial freedom. |
| 0:44.9 | On today's show, we're going to do a rewind of an episode I did in 2022, which is based on the |
| 0:52.0 | famous quote by Warren Buffett, which is be fearful when others are greedy |
| 0:56.5 | and be greedy when others are fearful. The idea here is to let you listen to something from a few |
| 1:01.9 | years ago when we were in a different situation in the stock market and the crypto markets. |
| 1:07.8 | We were in a deep correction. And why now that we are in a good market and feel |
| 1:13.6 | confident do we wish for those prices that we were able to get during the deep correction? |
| 1:20.1 | But when we're in the deep correction, people are often too fearful to buy at that time. |
| 1:25.9 | Those are the kinds of things we're going to talk about |
| 1:28.0 | during this episode. I hope you like it. Here we go. So today what we're going to talk about |
| 1:33.4 | is Warren Buffett's quote, be greedy when others are fearful and fearful when others are greedy. |
| 1:40.7 | What does that mean and how does that apply to what's going on right now? Because sometimes I think when the time comes for us to be greedy, we are fearful. |
| 1:50.0 | And let's break down that quote and see how it applies to what's going on today. |
| 1:56.0 | Because everyone has a tendency to think, this time it's different. |
| 2:00.0 | And they say those are the four |
| 2:01.6 | most dangerous words in the English language. This time it's different. Why? Because the cause of |
| 2:09.7 | a stock market decline is always from one thing or another, and it may not be seemingly the same thing. For example, in 2000, we had a dot-com bubble |
| 2:21.0 | that burst, and then in 2008, we had more of a real estate crisis. So even though they weren't |
| 2:28.0 | seemingly the same cause, that doesn't matter. It's the decline in the market that comes from fear, and that happens on a |
| 2:36.2 | regular basis, and that's what's not different. So what we want to know is, is now the kind of time |
