Rich Dad's Coaching

I've recently started a series of training sessions based on the Rich Dad Poor Dad series by Robert Kiyosaki. After receiving this book and the second one in the series, Cashflow Quadrant, from a friend, Chris Kearns, I decided to sign up for the coaching through Rich Dad Coaching. I expect this coaching to help me focus my goals and work out a plan to achieve them. It is a year long plan of study, beginning with 16 weekly sessions and assignments. Of course my goals are not "get rich" for only personal gain, but to become free to do the things that I enjoy doing, like spending more time with my family, church work (missions & benevolence), more blogging and other internet interests, running my businesses, building houses, developing land, etc.

I've also decided that the first thing that is going is standing up in front of the Planning Commission and City Council and "fighting" for a project. It's just not fun or exciting anymore. That's because of a number of reasons that I'd be glad to explain, but not here.

Here are my list of goals at the beginning of the training. I'm sure they will change over time.

Short Term Goals:
1. Take more time off to spend with family (at least 2 long trips & 2 weekend trips/year.)
2. Develop a regular bible reading/study habit.
3. Fund subdivision development (Stonehaven, etc.)
4. Fund condo development (6 units per year)
5. Build and sell 6 homes/year thru Affiniti Homes.
6. Fund daughter & neices' college educations.

Long Term Goals:
1. Payoff business debt.
2. Payoff house debt
3. Partial retirement within 12 years.
4. Be able to spend 6 weeks traveling (pleasure & missions) each year.
5. Setup a $1,000,000 endowment for benevolent & mission efforts around the world.
6. Own fractional share of 3 vacation homes.
7. Fund the girls weddings (hopefully 7 to 16 years away.)

If you see me, ask me how I'm doing on these. I need to be reminded.

Quotes:
Lazy hands make a man poor,
but diligent hands bring wealth.
He who gathers crops in summer is a wise son,
but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son.
- Proverbs 10:4-5

Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody. - 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12

All hard work brings a profit,
but mere talk leads only to poverty. - Proverbs 14:23

Citizenship in a Republic - Theodore Roosevelt

I've been reading some quotes and came on this speech . It has a few sections that are quoted often. I found some more that interested me as well. I'm sharing the entire speech here, with my high-lites.  The Famous Quote: It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena , whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.  Keith

Johnny Earl Maxwell: "Mr W.A. and Mrs. Thelma's Boy"

Johnny Earl Maxwell (9/20/1940 to 7/2/2020) “Mr. W.A. and Mrs Thelma’s boy” The above quote was from one of Dad's growing up friends, I think it was the younger brother of Thurman and Herman Moseley. Either way it's a very fitting description of John Maxwell. Here is a sort of memorial tale of my Dad. They wouldn't let me use it as the Obituary , but I like the story. Joel, visited the last two weeks to help with things and we had LOTS of laughs with Dad, talking about old times. Joel cooked for him, and fixed him coffee and got him whatever else he wanted. Dad loved it. Duh. And I loved that he kept things cleaned up.  Camellia called him on his last day and of course, he asked about Katie, one of his “favorite” grandkids. He lived with Camellia for the last 10 years or more. She took care of him, his only daughter, and the one most like him. So, he was very close to Danielle and Katie, seeing them, and hugging them about every day. And his favorite son-

Happy Birthday SSM

Happy Birthday to my wife! (She shall remain nameless by her request. Actually she said "don't put me on that thang." I haven't gotten this far by listening to everyone who tries to limit my creativity.) Scripture: Proverbs 31:10-30 10 [a] A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. 11 Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. 12 She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. 13 She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands. 14 She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar. 15 She gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls. 16 She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. 17 She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks. 18 She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night. 19 In her hand she
