The podcast is really grown somewhat. Thank you all for listening. Think you be a part of this got one of which I really interesting interviews from people that are in the industry. We got a great interview coming up here in a moment with Tommy Dorf work to talk about investment this about investments that a lot of people really kind of look at this thing all wrong and Thompson just give us some good insights and I'm to be interviewing Kathy Lee Gifford this week we got just just lots of things lots of things exciting going on Christmas gifts for caregivers to give to themselves. We started this lesson we redo it all the way through Christmas and John you pick out another one.

It is often times caregivers might get the quote short of the stick on receiving gifts you might be caring for somebody who is not capable of giving your gift and you know indeed is the season you know, and it can make you really make or break a couple of bad days. You know, but this one doesn't sound like a gift, but it really really is, and it's the first one is first one to see your doctor go see your doctor is on. I was so I also out. I was out in your dentist you of your favorite character in Rudolph the red nose reindeer cart that that animated stop stop at was the notion was little dentist will I ever began or started. I let it set. He took out all of the bumbles teeth yeah but it's yeah because 70 over 70% of caregivers do not see their own physician regularly and and this is a time bomb. This is the time bomb waiting to happen right course shop around that you don't shop for doctors like you. Thank you shop around, find a doctor that works well with you and there are some really I had a Dr. a while ago and she was just she was hilarious. She was the funniest person and was just a delight to go see her so they can make it can be. It doesn't have to be this clinical just yes no hear this all about the health thing. And yes it is but it's you it's getting out again professionalize on things and hopefully a human story with all sense of humor will and I subscribe to tell a duck it's exit connected docs that I do and I use that service and you can message me if you want or send an email to us or whatever, through hope for the caregiver describes the website and I'll give you information on that because I was I would have that service.

If I recommend that to everyone because then it's it takes away a little bit of the weirdness of you gotta go find a doctor go to the doctor's office and is doing it now and you can upload your chart. You can do all the kind of things and and that that it does interrupt your day so much, but it gives you access to good primary care type of environment. Now if you need a specialist. Whatever you have to go to different path and that's okay but I think what drove this home for me was about this time last year Jon, I was over at a clinic. It was at the over in Bozeman and in I was there and I saw this woman in a wheelchair who was incredibly thin. She was elderly and very thin and look very frail and she was being pushed by a woman who identified herself at the receptionist this as her daughter and the daughter was morbidly obese. I mean really coming every bit of 350 pounds every minute and I thought it and I thought about you heart, kidneys, blood pressure needs all the things that were going on with this daughter and this very frail elderly woman was depending on this daughter who was in horrific health nano you you can't be 350 pounds and 5 foot four or 5/2 in and tell me you're in good health. We just can't and and then you become a risk now for coronavirus and everything else because of morbid obesity is one of those things of scope comorbidities and I thought we got to go. We got to keep encouraging caregivers to take that step. It's it really is important and imperative that you go see your own doctor. What a great Christmas gift to yourself.

Yeah a natural thing as a as a give any idea of it being a gift to oneself is that you might not see the meeting. Jeff yeah get our Dr. get things checked out. Maybe now, maybe it's a clean bill of health and your own. Okay well that's good but maybe Something that would've taken you down six months from now now or just blood pressure. Yeah, something in Inc. and invested a good blood pressure cuff to have at home. You know and do that.

I've got of. We got two of them here below those kinds of things are there not very expensive but they're very important and and you know if you want to subscribe that service with connect dots again.

Message me I'll show you how to do it. It's easy. It is very affordable and you can you can have all of that at your fingertips and and why not you know why wait for this and if you have high blood pressure. I promise you it doesn't resolve itself would have to change something that you don't write her cholesterol is high and and particularly alike. Caregivers are my age now render a minimum hundred 6057 and so if I have high blood pressure and high cholesterol that sets me on a path for some type of an event and approximate price with 10 years gathering could be you could be really nasty and that's the gift or giving you might not ever realize that you gave it to yourself. Is that voided some tragedy and so you know these thesis. This is a small thing in the scope of things. It may seem like a weird thing which you know what it's important thing because your health is important what we see on the show all the time. Healthy caregivers make better caregivers.

If you're not healthy you listen the show today and you're looking down at your body and your sin. There is no way I can say this is healthy. I don't need you to be ashamed of it and you certainly don't need you to be ashamed of it. Nobody's asking to be a shame, which is asking you to take step in the right direction step in the right direction is two steps away from the wrong direction, I wrote that I would say that fingers but by the late guess who came through with that dentist name for Rudolph O Ed came through with it and her me hurting me and and never who was the who is the prospector I would know there was a there was daily as that's correct I is on top of it this week. This is that these things with the soundtrack in the in the movie script of our life growing up having every year and we had to watch Rudolph every and so yeah go see your doctor. It's a great Christmas gift to yourself and healthy caregivers make better caregivers. All right, do you have misconceptions about investment. Do you think things about investment. What was a person comes to your mind when you think I need to talk to some type of wealth management investment group person comes your mind, you may Beach may have some different thoughts after you talk to her Nicholas to our next guest to be back with us. Here are just a few. Most of them go to break wait to hear what he has to say Peter Rosenberg. This is caregiver healthy caregivers need healthy financing. This is most spiritually professionally, John.

I'll even say mentally pay the speed Rosenberg of your help somebody walk for the first time I've had that privilege many times through our organization. Standing with hope when my wife Gracie gave up both of her legs follow this horrible Rick that she had as a teenager and she tried to save them for years and if it just wouldn't work out. And finally she relinquished him and thought wow this is that I'm not heavy legs anymore. What can God do with that and then she had this vision for use in prosthetic limbs as a means of sharing the gospel to put legs on her fellow amputees and that's what we been doing now since 2005 was standing with hope. We work in the West African country of Ghana and you can be a part of that through supplies through supporting team members through supporting the work that were doing over there.

I have a delightful knockoff you can that I did. I do keep. I do keep a small emergency fund in the house but that's well, you know, one of things I'm I'm learning and I'm not there yet but I'm I'm learning and I got a good teacher. His stomach therefore and Tommy is on the phone with us today. He is from the southwestern fund investment group out of the Brentwood, Tennessee for caregivers.

Particularly, we have to come to think long term and we have to help we have to have people who can do that with this objectively and and a lot of caregivers get in their mind a myth or several myths about money and we just don't have it we just you know we oh, I don't have enough money to go talk to investment group you know having you. I'm not rich Haley summary ways I can divide for box you get for book 7 is over for the radioisotope are you with us here today.

We are well for us, so that may need to be certified professional, but we are so glad that you're here.

This is been a topic that is that is kind of just stuck with me for almost as long as I've been doing the show because we talk about the whole part of the caregiver. The physical part in the fiscal part and I just want you to talk about this today and list topless to stick around a few ideas that maybe caregivers are thinking about or family members of caregivers aren't thinking about when it comes to wealth so much to start with the first myth that you have to be wealthy to talk to an investment go. That's a myth is it that I think all that are in the business were here to help and for somebody that didn't know anything about the market or investing or how to me. Handle man's money can be very overwhelming and a little bit scary.

And now I think that what were here to do really help you and guide people and file were you trying to accomplish with the money that you're saving and let's create a plan in order to accomplish that. And sometimes you just need a little guidance, you know, some people need a lot more help than others by two not have somebody to go to help you with that. I think that comment made a mistake that people make based on this myth that they think they have to have a lot of money orders money in general. To really know what to do.

It really is good at giving example yeah Phil current time in my personal story here so I think you discussed this by essentially I was born and raised in Raleigh, North Carolina.

I had no idea of doing do this for living whatsoever become wealth advisor and felt my passion growing up with playing the drums and you know I did school the school.

The thing you did until about 230 or 3 o'clock. The bell rang when you get get him to do. It's really wanted and so growing up my parents really never taught me anything about money and the school and didn't really teach me anything about money and so when I laughed and came to Nashville, Tennessee convention. I really didn't know what to do with the little money I had it that really intrigued me because at the musician here in town. Money can be a dangerous thing because if you don't handle it properly.

You know I can. It just goes in that your hand very very quickly so that that's kinda what I thought okay I really not my thing works.

I need to learn about and that was probably 15 years ago and so for me I had a general interest in it went back to school and majored in business, finance, and then all to start learning about accounting and Was one of those weird kids that found it really interesting and so I asked the guy I finally started learning and had I felt like God, redirect my passion and so now in a situation working help other people. But I've also recognize that not anybody had the same passion I do about financial management and that's why think is really really important to go talk to somebody you know if you really don't have the interest in the passion you want to learn as much as you can and you don't have to have the money to go learn about how to handle money well you got a great team around you. You just pick a great team that's that's it. That's a the first step is is in also being willing to ask for help. You don't. People are going to inflict help on you well is called trolling to people is is that I was just trying to help is the sunny side of controlling and so people are going to do that to you and make you do it, so asking for help is the first step in and with what's another misconception people have another myth about investment the people have thing.

I think in thinking that when you start investing that you think of the article to go down and and that they fear a lot of people have a late minute I put my money into investments while what happened, stock market crashes as we hear all the time lag in the stock market crashes well when you invest your money market has never gone down state we call that I call that temporary decline and so you have to have a little bit of patience and you have to understand how the market works a little bit and if you do that and you know that the market really does reward the patient investor and so people think okay if I put my money to investment crash there formed on the right thing by just holding it in the bank and not just simply true because the market has never gone down. Stay down. The problem is, it just doesn't tell you what is going to do today or tomorrow and not the hard part of that is the kind of fear of the unknown. Nobody has a crystal ball and so people had to fear and overcome and adapt and overcome by the fear and they say well I just don't get in the way that I'll never have to fear anything to worry about and act ethically as intermediate as you really want to diversify to make sure your managing the right risk level that you're comfortable with do that responsibly. The market really does reward the patient investor will caregivers are by definition were risktakers because were doing something that's almost impossible to do which is to care for our and infirmed impaired left one for an undetermined period of time. That in itself is wrist so I think that if we can help them at all and that begets patients to be Paid yet When We It Requires Love Patients. We Already Have Those Ingrained in Us Week the Ability to Take Risk. The Ability to to Be Patient and to Learn and Adapt and so Why Can't We Apply That Same Though Those Same Character Traits to the Way We Look at Money and I Think That's What a Good Financial Investment Coach Can Do for People to Help Them Transfer Those You and I Had a Lengthy Conversation for Your Blog and Free for Your Company about That Very Thing.
