Chuck Anderson,
Hello, everybody, and welcome back. This is the creative collaboration
Speaker:show with Chuck Anderson, and I've got another amazing episode
Speaker:for you, and this one here has, I'll just give you a fair warning.
Speaker:This one has a a financial theme to it. So if you
Speaker:care it all about money, if you care about out all about finances
Speaker:or cash flow and keeping as much of it as as possible,
Speaker:then you're really gonna love this episode because today,
Speaker:I have a an expert in that and not only an expert in that. I
Speaker:mean, there's a lot of experts in finances, but,
Speaker:one where, today's guest has, a very
Speaker:unique approach to banking and
Speaker:investing and creating cash flow in businesses.
Speaker:And, and so I this is one that you
Speaker:probably wanna lean into and listen to a little bit.
Speaker:closely because, there's gonna be some,
Speaker:some really great information here and some things that you probably
Speaker:didn't know that you didn't know. And so I'm honored to
Speaker:have, Jason Nightingale here with me today. Jason, welcome to the
Speaker:show. Thank you, Chuck. I appreciate the opportunity.
Speaker:Absolutely. Looking forward to having you on. And, now you heard my,
Speaker:like, little introduction light, and I'm not gonna sit here and read your buy
Speaker:because you know you better than than I know you. So
Speaker:so, was that accurate and and maybe, to, you
Speaker:know, tell everybody, a little bit about who you are and and what
Speaker:your story is. Okay. Well, I've been in business since the mid
Speaker:nineties and entrepreneur for quite a long time. I actually had 2 different
Speaker:businesses. Besides my finance insurance business, I was a
Speaker:cabinet builder, and I did a lot of high end Victorian cabinets,
Speaker:kitchens, bathrooms, built ins, and living rooms,
Speaker:whatnot. And, we had a wild land fire in 2015
Speaker:in August of 2015. that burned that business to the
Speaker:ground. And this business, Safe Money Solutions, there was only
Speaker:a 2 day a week business at that time, not enough to support me as
Speaker:an income, bank would not give me a line of credit when I needed cash
Speaker:flow, and I had all kinds of people up here cleaning up steel and
Speaker:burnt down trees and rubble from the fire.
Speaker:And I said, well, if you won't give me a line of credit because I
Speaker:no longer have the cash flow I had, why don't you let me redraw
Speaker:the $5000 extra I paid on my home last month? Guess
Speaker:what they told me? Nope. She goes, you don't
Speaker:understand the amortization, do you? I said this must have something to do
Speaker:with that four letters in the middle. More Mortician, mortuary,
Speaker:amortization, mortgage, literally means death pledge is what
Speaker:mortgage means. and amortization means the loan that never dies.
Speaker:So I knew that day when I could not get my hands on money and
Speaker:I had a cash flow problem that I needed to change the way that I
Speaker:bank because I had just put my nest egg out, getting everything
Speaker:cleaned up, and finding out my insurance company wasn't gonna release a check
Speaker:for more than 60 to 90 days. I needed some cash flow.
Speaker:My family was recounting on me to make a right decision. And when I
Speaker:came up with after reading a bunch of books and doing a bunch of studying
Speaker:and combining some strategies as what I call accelerated banking,
Speaker:But at the time, I had 14 years left on my mortgage check. I
Speaker:was able to figure out how I could pay it off in 30 months with
Speaker:less money without killing the cash flow that I had. Now
Speaker:that fantastic number saved me a $170.
Speaker:And then my wife says, when are you gonna start teaching this? and it was
Speaker:the catalyst that turned safe money solutions into a
Speaker:worldwide company. We now have 46 states 3
Speaker:countries. We've trained 758 advisors, and I
Speaker:live 38 miles from a stoplight, 68 miles from a
Speaker:Walmart, and 3 hours from an airport. But when I got a webcam and
Speaker:started sharing this, it went viral, and we put out 3 and a half
Speaker:$1,000,000 worth of sales in 22 months. with just our
Speaker:first 1500 clients, saving them $230,000,000,
Speaker:which is an average of a 130 k each, and giving them back over
Speaker:$2000 a piece in monthly cash flow just
Speaker:by changing how they bank. Amazing. I love
Speaker:how this was discovered with your own frustrations with banking,
Speaker:and them set telling you, no. I think we've all heard the word
Speaker:no when it comes to, dealing with the banks.
Speaker:And, and then you found, a great solution
Speaker:around that. And now you're in the business of of helping
Speaker:other business owners with that. So, love all of that. Well,
Speaker:let's let's dive deeper into this. Shall we? So so, I
Speaker:would say a good follow-up to this is, you know, what what are
Speaker:the Who are you really helping with this? Like, what, at what stage of
Speaker:business are they in? Maybe some certain things going on? And
Speaker:then and then and then how are you helping them? Okay. That's a
Speaker:great question because, see, Chuck, I started out with friends, family, and people in
Speaker:my church. And then I belonged to a savings club, and they started referring
Speaker:me to their friends. Well, I kinda got off into this church and farming community
Speaker:helping farmers, helping churches so we can still help all of those. In fact, you
Speaker:know, we've got programs just for churches to giving multiplier program is
Speaker:one of them. We got programs for vets. But what happened to me was after
Speaker:those 22 months of helping 1500 clients, I zoomed
Speaker:in this chair so much My right leg swell up 1 third
Speaker:larger than my left leg. From zooming 6 days a week,
Speaker:13, 14 hours a day trying to help everyone. So I sat back
Speaker:after all those sales and said, okay. Well, I need to get a targeted audience
Speaker:to start with because I can't eat this pizza from all edges at one
Speaker:time. I realized how big of a disruptive strategy this
Speaker:is. So I became the director of life insurance when my name
Speaker:hit the top 100 in finance magazine for a
Speaker:financial distribution platform. It was a shop called concierge for
Speaker:advisors in Phoenix, Arizona that served advisors all across the
Speaker:country. They wanted me to come in on a contract and teach this
Speaker:strategy to advisors. That was a pretty good connection, but
Speaker:John ended up dying of COVID in 2021.
Speaker:So I thought business owners seem to to seem to
Speaker:benefit the most from this. So I started traveling to,
Speaker:like, Real estate, excuse me, real estate investor conventions
Speaker:and family office clubs for the high net worth and
Speaker:kinda have started developing our advanced strategy department
Speaker:more using be able to design buy sell agreements.
Speaker:Maybe you've got a business. Maybe you're listening in today and you've got this business.
Speaker:You've poured your heart into it. You're growing it right now, and you're
Speaker:looking okay. I need a succession plan. I need to be able to get out
Speaker:of this, but you don't wanna give 1 third or half the tax money to
Speaker:the IRS in capital gains when you sell it. We can show
Speaker:you how to avoid that. We can show you how to reward
Speaker:yourself and create a pension plan that's practically
Speaker:self funded. It's absolutely amazing. So a lot of the
Speaker:ways we help businesses are when they're designing how
Speaker:to reward key executives in their company. or
Speaker:create a pension plan or protections for their self or
Speaker:create buy sell agreements, creating cash flow, and
Speaker:helping them with financing.
Speaker:Amazing. Well, you know, and I think, you know, at one
Speaker:time or another, a business owner is gonna need, help
Speaker:with, you know, 1 or all of those things.
Speaker:And, and, you know, it's it's one of those
Speaker:things where, yeah, again, we you you go to
Speaker:the bank. You try to play the game their way. You try
Speaker:to you know, go through their system. And it's one roadblock after
Speaker:another, and it sounds like what you're doing is you've got another way of doing
Speaker:that, which get you what you need, and and,
Speaker:you're not hearing no all the time. Right? And so Yeah. I mean, let's
Speaker:face it. Let's go back to where I was at after the or during the
Speaker:fires or before the fires. I would receive a check for
Speaker:15, 20, 25,000 from a client Who wanted to set
Speaker:a cabinets? Maybe you're a business out there that's receiving that check on office
Speaker:supplies or coaching or some widget or some service that you
Speaker:sell. When you stick that money into your checking and check,
Speaker:you can role play this with me. What does the bank pay you for that
Speaker:deposit? Oh, well, nothing.
Speaker:A big 0. So -- Yeah. -- let's just say a business is putting in
Speaker:$2300,000 a year. I can show
Speaker:you with math at just at a 100,000 a year. Every 10
Speaker:years, your business is giving up a $1,000,000 worth of capital.
Speaker:I can show you how to not leave the million on the table and how
Speaker:to make it tax free. It's absolutely phenomenal.
Speaker:If someone has debt, where they're trying to grow. This is
Speaker:a way to really double down and pay that debt down up to
Speaker:70% faster, build well faster to help with scale.
Speaker:If you're wanting to buy other real estate, we have a program that'll
Speaker:help you acquire real estate so fast without killing your cash flow.
Speaker:It's amazing. See, that's a problem where a lot of businesses are. If they
Speaker:scale up, they get afraid because of the cost and the risk. So they stay
Speaker:where they're at. So oftentimes, the dreams of entrepreneurs when they wanna
Speaker:expand is stifled by the fear of what it might do to
Speaker:them monetarily. That doesn't have to be the case with accelerated
Speaker:banking. That's amazing. And, you know, I I
Speaker:gotta say, like, the the whole idea of accelerated banking
Speaker:not one that I've, I would say is very common. I'm
Speaker:I'm not sitting around with my other entrepreneur friends talking about accelerated
Speaker:banking. And so So is that a term, like, is that what you
Speaker:guys are calling it, or is that an industry term? like, what
Speaker:Where does that? That's a fantastic and loaded question. So
Speaker:-- I I I figured it might be. I'll answer
Speaker:it in 2 minutes or less. So we teach a strategy where checking and
Speaker:savings are dead. I mean, I just proved to you. Let's face it. They're not
Speaker:paying us for them. you know, a preacher into a little old lady's house. She
Speaker:cut the shank. I'm sorry. I'm having the throat problem today. She cut the shank
Speaker:off the ham and threw it away. He asked her why'd you do that? She
Speaker:said, I don't know. My mom taught me that. So when he went and asked
Speaker:her mom about it, she said that silly girl, I grew up in the depression
Speaker:of my oven. It was real small. So I don't know why we use checking
Speaker:and savings. It doesn't make any sense. No more sense. than cutting the shank off
Speaker:the ham. They don't pay. So we teach a method where you use
Speaker:velocity banking, which came from Australia in 2004 by a a
Speaker:guy named Harsh Guild. To pay down debt up to 70%
Speaker:faster, and we teach a savings account replacement using
Speaker:infinite banking, which has been around since the 1800s, but given a
Speaker:name in the eighties by R Nelson Nash. If I was to
Speaker:ask you for if you were to ask me for a recommended read, you mentioned
Speaker:I would say read your read bank on yourself by Pamela Yellen.
Speaker:If you wanna learn about infinite banking, you can read how to pay a mortgage
Speaker:off in 5 years by Clayton Morris. I'm writing a book that's
Speaker:called what your banker doesn't want you to know, and I'm including both
Speaker:strategies and showing you with it when you leverage them inside of an
Speaker:algorithms based software that we have. You'll have a forecasting tool that will tell you
Speaker:all of the ways and
Speaker:the the consequences and the re rewards of making financial decisions
Speaker:without having to make them. For example, you can put in that
Speaker:expansion of your office or the bringing on of the new
Speaker:wages it's gonna cost to bring on the new executive and then hit the
Speaker:button and see with your cash flow grilled out, it'll show you
Speaker:exactly where you'll be. Whether that's negative,
Speaker:positive, or unbelievably ahead. It's amazing. So it
Speaker:shows you where expensive dollars are and where your growth dollars are.
Speaker:And by making your deposits that your clients are giving you, into
Speaker:checking and savings, you are killing the opportunity for
Speaker:growth because you're paying your bills with your own money. Banks don't do
Speaker:that. They float other people's money through their accounts
Speaker:to help them pay down their debts, and they loan your money out nine
Speaker:times. They call that fractional reserve banking. It's scary
Speaker:if you wanna get into it. During COVID, this kid was considered
Speaker:no reserve banking. We teach you the banking
Speaker:concepts. So accelerated banking in a nutshell is teaching you how to
Speaker:exercise float Offset and redraw, which we
Speaker:can fully explain. We've done all the reading. We've done all the research,
Speaker:and we have now have an automatic transmission model so you
Speaker:don't have to be the expert. You just get the software, enroll in the
Speaker:program, and put these wheels to the ground, and watch your business
Speaker:accelerate. It's so it's so exceptionally works exceptionally
Speaker:well. Well, we all want our businesses to accelerate. We all want our
Speaker:businesses to grow. And, you know, be again,
Speaker:the awareness of what's going on and that there is a better
Speaker:way one of the things we need to start thinking
Speaker:about is, okay. Well, how do we start planning for this? So, like, you know,
Speaker:so so what are what are some of the things that we need to be
Speaker:thinking about in our business plans that sets us up for,
Speaker:you know, more success and to really be able to do what you're talking
Speaker:about versus, you know, the struggle that, we're
Speaker:currently going through. Okay. So that and that's a good question. So it really
Speaker:doesn't matter where you're at in business. maybe you're listening today and you're a
Speaker:brand new entrepreneur. All you you don't even have even so much as a
Speaker:URL yet. You just got a concept in your mind of what you want.
Speaker:maybe you're a seasoned veteran and you're you're looking at an exit planning
Speaker:strategy or a succession plan and you're and you're thinking him, maybe I can get
Speaker:out of some taxes. It doesn't matter anywhere in between you are. The first
Speaker:thing to do is to go to this link that's over my shoulder and
Speaker:just book yourself, discovery call. Let me show you
Speaker:our presentation in general and show you 3 or 4 examples of
Speaker:different people we've helped. So maybe you can identify with one of those and
Speaker:say, yeah, I think maybe this would be I wanna look into further. What's the
Speaker:next step? Then we just basically tell you to provide us a little bit of
Speaker:information. We get back together. Still no obligation at this point.
Speaker:We'll put some ideas out on the table for you, your
Speaker:business corporation, whatever, and get your feedback.
Speaker:Simple as that. Then it should you decide to go forward. We'll
Speaker:show you what that looks like. The fees we charge come from
Speaker:the savings we create. So it's always a
Speaker:net 0, proposition for almost
Speaker:every person we've ever served, and it doesn't take
Speaker:long to cover, the services. And like I said, we
Speaker:do have a plug and play model so that you don't have to see a
Speaker:reading books and studying and going through some big master class, which we
Speaker:do have those available for those that are, you know, really wanna take it advance
Speaker:further, but you don't have to do that to plug in to plug into this.
Speaker:So you met one of the key words that you mentioned in there is exit
Speaker:strategy. And from, you know, when when we are at that
Speaker:point, we're ready to sell the business. I mean, how does what you're talking
Speaker:about affect what we need to be thinking about in terms of
Speaker:executing on that exit strategy course? Well, let me give you an
Speaker:example. I have a sixty seven year old client in Pennsylvania
Speaker:right now that is selling his,
Speaker:company. And He is wanting to protect
Speaker:his children. He's wanting to protect himself naturally from taxes.
Speaker:And, he is selling the company to a financial company that
Speaker:that has purchases, businesses, upgrades them a little bit, and sells
Speaker:them as investments. And we have a a
Speaker:planning team that has put together a program for him that Nala can
Speaker:give his children the guaranteed income that he wants, but we can put everything
Speaker:inside of a trust and we can set up
Speaker:a buy sell agreement using cash value life insurance that keeps them
Speaker:from paying the capital gains tax that's normally associated
Speaker:with the transaction of that magnitude. It would cost him
Speaker:millions if he just used traditional models. we can make you
Speaker:look better to the bank, look better to the seller,
Speaker:or to the buyer, whichever side of this equation you're on, and of
Speaker:course, be able to make each other feel more,
Speaker:feel better about the transaction because there is an insurance base
Speaker:in it. That's called a cross purchase agreement. So what
Speaker:someone needs to do in their thinking, if they're wanting to
Speaker:move toward an exit strategy, is when we have
Speaker:our when we have our one on 1, we would probably recommend,
Speaker:getting with business power tools.com or someone like that, I don't
Speaker:know if you know Kirk Franklin, but getting a true business plan
Speaker:put together and start looking at what the exit strategy
Speaker:might look like. We have clients come to us. They say, man, I've only got
Speaker:a 100,000 safe for retirement. I've only got 10 or 15 years
Speaker:left. what do I do? And we show them how to create
Speaker:tax free income streams for their self using the products that
Speaker:we have available. So I think the first thing you have to start thinking
Speaker:about is the openness of mind to explore
Speaker:the options because you said it earlier. You don't know what you don't know,
Speaker:and everybody is different. I can't put a one size fits all
Speaker:on this. All I can say is let's get together for a free discovery
Speaker:session, do an assessment, see what it looks like for you,
Speaker:and we have ways that we can help you to be able to keep the
Speaker:federal government from reaching in and taking a lot of the money and
Speaker:taxes and put a plan and protections in place that helps
Speaker:everyone involved. The buyer, the seller, the beneficiaries,
Speaker:you being the retiree, getting out of it, and makes
Speaker:a makes a plan that's good for everyone. And and that is that is one
Speaker:of our specialties. We have an entire advanced planning depart department to do
Speaker:just that. They have MBA, CPAs, attorneys, all
Speaker:the people they need on their team. to fit your business model
Speaker:because you might be an LLC. You might be a C corp, an s corp.
Speaker:They know they know how to deal with that stuff in all 50 states. Now
Speaker:I wanna ask you a little bit about insurance as well because that that is
Speaker:something you mentioned it briefly earlier. And, I know that
Speaker:that's something that business owners struggle with. I know, like, we don't
Speaker:always know, like, what what we should have, what we shouldn't
Speaker:have. is it worth spending the money on? Is it just a cash
Speaker:grab? Like, there's all the things, and everyone's got their own opinion about what types
Speaker:of policies you should get and what kind you should avoid.
Speaker:You know, what's your take on that and how does that sort of fit
Speaker:into this planning that you're talking about? You know, that's a that's
Speaker:a very good question. And my time served as a director of life
Speaker:insurance at that financial distribution platform that had somewhere between
Speaker:10,012,000 advisors. I got to work with 75
Speaker:different insurance carriers, and I got to ask them key
Speaker:questions. And I some of the answers I got astounded me as
Speaker:the the the number one problem in the industry is so
Speaker:many commission centric agents out there that are not with
Speaker:a career more than 2 or 3 years that don't really understand the full
Speaker:scope, anything more than their captive agency and the few
Speaker:little square peg products that they have trying to shove all these
Speaker:trying to shove all the square pegs into the round holes. You know? They they
Speaker:only understand a few products and they they sell their client
Speaker:something and they explain maybe on the surface what it does, they
Speaker:get their commission and they're gone. Clients don't even know what they got.
Speaker:It's a lot like religion and politics insurances, and there's so much
Speaker:misinformation out there. That's why if you have a holistic practice
Speaker:like what we are, We look at what you got and we look at first
Speaker:what you're trying to accomplish. We put you through the 4 pillars of
Speaker:finance. We look at your protection. We look at your assets. We look
Speaker:at your liabilities, and we look at your cash flow. And we draw it
Speaker:like a house. Right? And then we say, okay. What's
Speaker:lacking? it do you need protection if you get sick, then we need to
Speaker:look at health insurance. Do we need protection if we get hurt? Then we need
Speaker:to look at disability insurance. Do we need protection if you were to die?
Speaker:Life insurance, right, and all the different protections. But with accelerated
Speaker:banking, what's so cool about that being our flagship strategy
Speaker:is that often makes it a self funded program.
Speaker:We free up the cash flow to provide you the money for the
Speaker:protection without changing your budget. And most
Speaker:people agree that they need the protection if money was
Speaker:not a problem. So that's where we start there
Speaker:because it's such a great foundational piece. Increase the cash flow.
Speaker:You can get the protection you need. So
Speaker:anything else that you think that business owners should be aware of or
Speaker:thinking about in terms of their planning that we didn't already
Speaker:cover? Well, I think the main thing is, you know,
Speaker:if you are in the system, yeah, when I say in the system,
Speaker:using a checking and savings account, You're already giving up money,
Speaker:and I'll bet 90 plus percent of the people listening to this
Speaker:podcast or watching it on YouTube or wherever it ends up, Chuck,
Speaker:are are sitting there using checking and savings accounts for their
Speaker:deposits, and they're sacrificing 1000 and 1000 of
Speaker:dollars. and, you know, you don't know what you don't know. If you are
Speaker:taking a a a vacation to the Everglades and all of a sudden you find
Speaker:out there's alligators, It's a little late to go to the store now and get
Speaker:some kind of protection against alligators. Right? But if you know they're there before you
Speaker:go, you might dress or differently or make your itinerary differently.
Speaker:Right? So the main thing is financial literacy and education.
Speaker:be happy to do a free discovery call. We have a free report
Speaker:available. You can either go to your safe money solution dot
Speaker:com. Take the s off the end of our our business name, your safe
Speaker:money solution dot com. There's a free report. You can you can get
Speaker:on there, or you can reach out to me directly, Jason at your safe money
Speaker:solution dot com. And I would be happy to provide some resources We
Speaker:do have some programs for vets, churches, nonprofits,
Speaker:businesses. so wherever you seem to fit, in there,
Speaker:we probably have some way that we can help you. The the the maintain that
Speaker:keeps our industry so disruptive if what we do
Speaker:is because we teach people a better way to banks. Small
Speaker:bankers love us. Big banks hate us. And
Speaker:that's and that's because we cost them a lot of money. I bet they
Speaker:do. So, well, just so let to let
Speaker:everyone know if you're watching this on media, 2 things. 1
Speaker:is you see a QR code, right, behind Jason's head or beside his head
Speaker:there, you can take a picture of that. That's gonna take you where you wanna
Speaker:go. we also have a link to that right beneath this
Speaker:video. And if you're listening on a podcast and audio,
Speaker:just click into the show notes and the player that you're listening
Speaker:on and all of Jason's links are right there.
Speaker:So, know, and one of the reasons why, Jason, we
Speaker:had you on this show, why we have a lot of a guest on our
Speaker:show is is, you know, with the theme of our show being creative
Speaker:collaboration. A, this is very creative. b,
Speaker:we look at you as being someone to collaborate with because of
Speaker:the unique solutions that you provide. And, you know, we
Speaker:have a we have a saying here, in our business is that
Speaker:nobody really accomplishes this accomplishes
Speaker:anything significant on their own. So this whole idea of solar
Speaker:printer or self made and all of that I I think
Speaker:is not only nonsense, but it's, no none of us really do
Speaker:anything alone. We and there's all we always need somebody that we need to
Speaker:partner with and collaborate with in our business. So, you know, just to tie
Speaker:in a little bit of that team in your show while you're here, I wanna
Speaker:get you, you know, weigh in on this whole bit, is how has
Speaker:collaborating and partnering with others played a role
Speaker:in the growth of your business. Oh, oh, huge,
Speaker:huge. I told you earlier I live thirty eight miles from a
Speaker:stoplight. I'm sixty eight miles from a well mark and 3 hours
Speaker:from an airport with a jet, and that is the truth. I live in a
Speaker:little town called Kami I, Idaho. If you look at a picture of the US
Speaker:at night, it says dark in Northland, Gilletteo with the lights
Speaker:on, in a US picture as it is in North Korea.
Speaker:I mean, it's pretty remote here. It's mostly gravel roads. And
Speaker:in after COVID, people really started
Speaker:networking and doing Zooms. A lot of businesses shut down. People
Speaker:got creative, and I have a list of a 150 networking
Speaker:zooms And, Chuck, I'll be honest, if I met you. I met you
Speaker:in a networking event. I don't know if it was JV directory or c suite
Speaker:or where it was. but I started attending those last February.
Speaker:And, now I have a lot of collaboration partners. I don't have to
Speaker:buy leads. I mean, I just get referrals from people that know me And so
Speaker:if I was a business and I was fledgling business young
Speaker:and trying to get some wings and really not spend so much on marketing, I
Speaker:definitely would network and and shows just like
Speaker:this. And, you know, podcasts, getting on podcasts, listening to
Speaker:podcasts, and going to networking events is huge, huge value.
Speaker:You know, that's a great example. That is how we met. We we we have
Speaker:some mutual friends that that's not we could have been connected that way. That's
Speaker:not how we were connected. We even didn't find out till afterwards. We had,
Speaker:mutual friends But, but it was through,
Speaker:connecting in the JV directories and the and and all of
Speaker:these various online groups. And I think it just really speaks to the
Speaker:power of getting out there, networking. I
Speaker:love collaborating. It's one of the reasons why I have 3 podcasts
Speaker:and, you know, this being one of them, and it's a great
Speaker:way for us to get to know people when I get to know
Speaker:your business, you get to know a little bit more about mine. And who
Speaker:knows the, what else we can come up with and the way we
Speaker:can, you know, help each other out,
Speaker:in the future. And, you know, I love how you kinda lean into,
Speaker:like, anyone who's young or new in their business,
Speaker:you know, don't waste your money on advertising. It's too soon.
Speaker:you need to get out there and network. You need to get out there and
Speaker:talk to people. And this is the one one of the best ways to do
Speaker:that. In fact, just to help you all out, I'm gonna put a link to
Speaker:some of those, to some of those
Speaker:resources, in this, in this,
Speaker:show. We you mentioned Jamie Directory. That's a good one. we'll put a link to
Speaker:their, to JV directory there as well. Go check that one
Speaker:out. that's a great place to start. So,
Speaker:so when you're look when you identify a piece in your in your
Speaker:business that, oh, maybe I could use a little help with this. is
Speaker:that your is that your go to place? What's the first place you would
Speaker:look for someone to either answer that question or
Speaker:collaborate with. Well, the you you mean,
Speaker:we've already kinda hit that nail right on the head. When you collaborate and you
Speaker:meet other people in those breakout sessions and when they let you do your pitch
Speaker:party, like, who is Eric Zulu on easy way or C suite
Speaker:where they give you a minute to talk or 30 seconds, you know, people are
Speaker:gonna reach out to you in the chat. Right? Well, as you're looking at what's
Speaker:in the chat and you're hearing other pitches, you're thinking, oh, that person
Speaker:does, it helps me with publish my book. I need to
Speaker:publish my book. I found a lady. Right? That person right
Speaker:there, they helped me with copywriting or that person there, they helped me with
Speaker:learn chat t p t or ai. I'd hooked up with a guy that could
Speaker:learn me a little bit on AI because I'm not very techie. Right? I met
Speaker:another lady who does virtual. assistant. I needed a
Speaker:virtual assistant. So my business has grown just by reaching
Speaker:out to some of these people, and we end up helping each other. I helped
Speaker:them with their banking. They helped me with the with the need I had.
Speaker:So that's that's right where it's at is
Speaker:getting out there. Like you said, you know, cold calling That's dead. You get on
Speaker:these networking zooms. Everybody wants to talk to everybody, and it's almost
Speaker:like a camaraderie of rapport like a like a a group or a
Speaker:club. and everybody just kinda comes with a little bit of a warmness
Speaker:and, just seems like a very neat culture. And I think every
Speaker:entrepreneur should do it that's trying to grow. Amazing.
Speaker:I love so much of that, Jason. Thank you so much for answering that question
Speaker:because, you know, one of our goals here, obviously, we wanna provide
Speaker:some great tactics and great information, but we also wanna
Speaker:inspire people to stop calling yourself a solo, solar
Speaker:printer, and stop trying to do everything
Speaker:yourself. And as a re reform, do
Speaker:it yourself, or that's that's, you know, that's really where this all comes
Speaker:from because together, we all achieve more for sure.
Speaker:Jason, this has been amazing. I have great information, great content,
Speaker:I highly recommend to our guests. if, any
Speaker:of this has resonated with you, and it probably has because you're still here
Speaker:listening, go ahead and scan that QR code or
Speaker:click the link beneath this video. Or if you're listening on podcast, the link is
Speaker:right there in the show notes. connect with Jason. And, all
Speaker:of his links are right there and, you know, take the next
Speaker:steps. And I always tell people you know, don't let an opportunity
Speaker:like this be for nothing. I want you to take one thing
Speaker:at least one thing that you heard in this episode
Speaker:today and I want you to take action towards
Speaker:it today. Maybe that reminded you of a goal that you set that
Speaker:you needed to take a step on. go and do that today.
Speaker:and or maybe it is you just learned something new
Speaker:today. Go connect with Jason. That would be a great If you don't
Speaker:know what your next step is, that maybe that's it, right, and have the
Speaker:conversation. Because like we both said today, you don't
Speaker:know what you don't know, and, and we really
Speaker:want you to know. So, Jason, thank you so much. This
Speaker:has been amazing. if you were to, leave our
Speaker:audience here today with just one final piece of advice or
Speaker:words of wisdom, what would you leave them with? Financial
Speaker:literacy. Read books about money because, let's say,
Speaker:face it, you're in business for one reason, and that's to make money probably so
Speaker:you can do more of what you love and spend more time with those you
Speaker:care. Get financial literacy. We have all
Speaker:kinds of free stuff available, And I think that
Speaker:that is probably what's fallen in the streets is, people are
Speaker:just following the system. We're fixing to go to a digital currency. Most people
Speaker:don't even know that. because of all the stuff that's in the news, and a
Speaker:lot of people are gonna be caught flat footed, and that's what safe money solutions
Speaker:is all about, is helping people to not get caught flat footed by that. So
Speaker:financial literacy, that would be my advice. Get financial
Speaker:literacy. Great words to end this episode by And
Speaker:so to our audience, thank you to Jason, thank you.
Speaker:and, again, go out there. Take that action step
Speaker:today. and, keep moving forward. you
Speaker:there's always a solution. You're maybe one collaboration away,
Speaker:or one helpful partner away from solving the
Speaker:financial issues or whatever other problems you have in your
Speaker:business and, just keep moving board. Keep
Speaker:looking for people to partner and collaborate with. And, in
Speaker:the meantime, go keep go out there. Keep being
Speaker:awesome. this has been the creative collaboration show with Chuck Anderson. My
Speaker:guest has been Jason Nightingale, and we'll see you on the next one. Thank you.
