E317: The Wise Investor - Rich Fettke

With the upcoming release of his new book, The Wise Investor: A Modern Parable about Creating Finanical Freedome and Living Your Best Life, author Rich Fettke returns to the Investor Mindset podcast.  Joins Steven and Rich as they uncover his motivation for writing this book and how it will help inspire both current and future real estate investors to not only invest in assets but also in themselves. 

Key Takeaways

1. 86% of people don't make it past the second chapter of a nonfiction book, so Rich wrote a story with emotional information. 
2. Assets are anything that brings you income, better health, more happiness, more time, etc, and liability is just the opposite.
3. By meeting with your “future self” you can stimulate your reticular activating system to help for the opportunities, people, and connections that will bring you closer to your vision of the future.
4. Speaking to the HENRYs (High Earners Not Rich Yet) to understand the benefits of real estate investing to create financial freedom.
5. Just three or four really deep breaths can have a transformational effect on your mind and confidence and quiet that inner “Gremlin” that is keeping you from moving forward. 
6. Self-made success does not exist, you have to figure out the rules of the game and get the support you need to achieve.
