TODAY I GAVE BIRTH TO 4 CHILDREN:

1. Health Care Power of Attorney
2. Property Power of Attorney
3. Living Trust
4. Will

In 2025, I supported my mom as she went through a very aggressive cancer. I watched her go from weighing in the 190’s down to 140’s in 4 months. As I watched her fade away we realized we needed to start getting her paperwork in order.

In the process of everything I thought to myself...DONI!!

👉 You don’t have your S**T together 💯👉💯

👉 What if tomorrow YOU don’t wake up!!

👉 It’s considerate to the people you love to get this done

Fast Forward to today.......

YES.....MY MOM MADE IT!!!!!❤❤

If you need help getting your paperwork in order

Attorney Ernest B. Fenton and his team made the process easy for me! I’m sure they can do the same for you!

I’ve learned a few things being around financially successful people and having financially successful friends:

1. Financially successful people talk about SOLUTIONS.
Many struggling financially spend most of their time talking about PROBLEMS.
2. Financially successful people see OPPORTUNITY during hard times.
Others only see HARDER TIMES.
3. The wealthy often look for INVESTMENTS in moments like these.
Many others are only focused on CUTTING BACK and saving money.
4. Most financially successful people I know are MARRIED.
Many of the less successful are SINGLE.
That’s not always coincidence. Strong partnerships can create leverage, stability, accountability, and growth.

Let me end with a story.

Years ago, I was at a friend’s resort. He owned the ENTIRE resort.

I was sitting with four other men when one of them said:

“Hey, I heard an island about 5 miles from here is for sale. I think it’s ONLY $5 million.

WE should each put up $1 million and buy it.”

That conversation stuck with me.

What’s the moral of this story?

Financially successful people tend to THINK BIG, think STRATEGICALLY, and think COLLABORATIVELY.

Too many people think small…
and then execute even smaller.

I walk into the office this morning and find a thick package from the ILL Attorney Generals office.

I find a claim for over $300,000.00 for medical related expenses against my clients father’s estate.

What does that mean?

The estimated $200,000.00 from the sale of the house, the kids are not likely to receive!

THE STATE is getting most of it.

What’s the lesson here?

If the property was passed to the kids through a trust, they wouldn’t be looking at this CLAIM (bill).

First to get paid: ME. Minimum $5000. Average $8000.
Second to be paid: Reimbursement to anyone who paid for the funeral.
Third to be paid: The administrator may receive $2000 or so.
Who gets the bulk of the money: THE STATE!

AVOID PROBATE!

I was sitting at my desk today… thinking about a few decisions.

I KNOW… if I make 1 or 2 moves, my business brings in a considerable amount of more money.

But the money ain’t the story.

It took me back many years ago…

I remember being late on my mortgage.

Then hitting $5k/month.
Then $10k.
Then $15k…
Then $20k+.

All within about 18 months.

So what changed?

It wasn’t only strategy.

I had to shift my MIND… to ALLOW myself to experience that level of success.

Because oftentimes…

There’s something inside of YOU…
stopping YOU…
from allowing YOU…
to EXPERIENCE YOU at your highest level.

It’s not about the money.

It’s about BREAKING-THROUGH who you really are…

GO BE YOUR GREAT!

Fenton LIFE!

What about you, stopping you, from being all of you!

If I were a young person and I wanted financial freedom:

1. I’d buy a 3 year or older non foreign vehicle. Ok, a Toyota or Honda not included.

2. I’d open a ROTH IRA and invest at least $100 month. MAX IT OUT if u can.

3. I would buy the worse house in the best neighborhood I could afford.

You “gain equity” based on your neighbors property.

4. I’d get a second part time job.

An extra $500-$1000 month is a game changer.

5. If not 4, have a side hustle. CUT GRASS. Drive uber. Install light fixtures. Clean garages.

6. Learn how to save money on taxes!

If you “know” taxes, you can give yourself annual raises through tax savings.

7. SETTLE DOWN!

Running the streets is a cash and dream thief!
STABILITY pays dividends.

8. Always be learning.

Reading. Attending Seminars. Listening to educational podcasts.

9. STAY HEALTHY!

Healthy body leads to a clearer and more productive mind. HEALTH is wealth.

10. Be ona first name basis w your Attorney, Accountant and Business or Job Mentor.

What’s the moral of this story?

Discipline TODAY equals FREEDOM tomorrow.

I think a lot of people saying they “want to be a millionaire” might be asking for the wrong thing.

Let me explain,

1. You can be a millionaire and not have access to a relative lot of money!

A large percentage of millionaires have their net worth in their primary residence! Ex: $500,000.00 or more in equity.

2. You can be a millionaire and struggle financially!

If your monthly overhead is consuming your cash flow, you can be a paycheck to paycheck millionaire!

Now what?

I think what many people are saying is they desire financial freedom!

And they think “being a millionaire” equals financial freedom! NOT necessarily TRUE.

Try this:

I want my bills to be on autopay!

I desire to have passive income from my real estate investments greater than my monthly expenses.

I’d like to afford a travel budget of $30,000.00 annually.

I’d like a primary residence and vacation home.

I’d like a minimum of $500,000 invested in the stock market w $50,000 year growth.

Whats the moral of this story?

Saying you want to be a millionaire, might leave you broke! Thats usually EGO!

BE SPECIFIC! Strategic!

You want to support your dream lifestyle!

What is a family investment trust?

I’ll set up a family investment trust for you.
You and 1 other family member will be co-trustees.
The 3 kids and mama and daddy will be the beneficiaries.
The family will meet twice each year to make investment decisions.
Each family member will invest $100 each month into the family trust.
75% of the money in the trust will be invested in the stock market.
(THE TRUST WILL OWN THE INVESTMENT ACCOUNT)
25% of the money in the trust will be invested in real estate or small businesses.
The income will be shared equally amongst the family members.

What’s the moral of this story?

Wealth is a FAMILY AFFAIR!

People “don’t get rich, families do.”

A Series LLC allows you to “spin off” the initially formed LLC and create additional LLC’s!

The additional LLC’s are called cells.

They are INDEPENDENT companies.

You should have separate EIN’s, books and bank accounts.

You can set them up there be SUBSIDIARIES if you like.

Many real estate investors utilize a SERIES LLC to hold their properties.

Each property has its own LLC.

You can even have one LLC as the property management entity.

What’s the moral of this story?

The President and Vice President never travel on the same plane!

Your REAL ESTATE should not be OWNED by the same entity!

SPREAD YOUR RISK!
