“Dedicated to helping you rethink
about wealth so you can win at the
money game!”
Why aren’t you dead yet?
“The Noticer” by Andy Andrews:
Six points to Willow, a
seventy-six year old lady, who
had given up hope that she
had anything left to
contribute. (See chapter 6, pp.
83–85).
1. God has a purpose for
each person
2. You won’t die until
that purpose is fulfilled
3. If you are still alive,
you haven’t completed
what you were put on
earth to do.
4. If you haven’t
completed what you
were put on earth to do,
your very purpose hasn’t
been fulfilled.
5. If your purpose hasn’t
been fulfilled, then the
most important part of
your life is still ahead.
6. You have yet to make
your most important
contribution.
ARE YOU LIVING WITH PURPOSE?
Four Ways God Will Not Use Money in
Your Life
IF I ONLY HAD MORE $$$
God doesn’t use money to:
1) To cause fear and anxiety in your
life.
2) To divide spouses, family, or
friends.
3) To insulate you from problems.
4) To raise your standard of living or
to look down upon others.
World’s way versus God’s Way
The Worldly Purposes for
Money
1. Buy whatever we want: Toys, toys,
and toys!
2. Use it to measure our success over
others.
3. Find security.
4. Gain independence - get out from
under authority.
5. Simple acquisition - get as much as
possible.
God' Purposes for Money
1. Provide for our needs.
2. Confirm direction to your life.
3. Fellowship to bring Christians together.
4. Demonstrating supernatural power.
5. Used for the Three T’s: Tool, Test,
Testimony
4 Bad Habits that lead to ruin
BAD HABIT #1: Discontentment
BAD HABIT #2: No Budget/ No
Plan
BAD HABIT #3: Failure to
understand basic economics
BAD HABIT #4: Too much debt
Bad habits destroy
wealth!
What does wealth mean to you?
Is the world corrupting your thoughts?
“Money is the root of all evil.”
“God helps those who help
themselves.”
“Being poor brings me closer to
God”
“Riches provide evidence for God’s
blessing.”
“Problems are the evidence of sin
in your life”
None of these are
BIBLICAL…
Four foundational beliefs
These are four common beliefs
after interviewing over 100 faithbased millionaires
1. God Created Everything

5.Prudent Spender – spending only
on things in line with your values

all 5 areas without a team.

Characteristics:

and the pettier” jobs

Invest like a millionaire
Faith-Based Millionaires typically
invest in:
• Stocks – large cap, mid cap, small
cap, international, and emerging
markets
•Fixed Income – bonds
• Real Estate
• Precious Metals
• Private companies
AREA FOUR:
Cautious Debtor
Are you burdened with too
much debt?
Changes for 2011: Become a cautious
debtor
Most Faith-Based Millionaires:
• Use debt cautiously – as last resort
• Only if you have means today to
pay back.
• Restructure current finances to get
out of debt much faster…
• Often borrow from “themselves”
instead of from banks, mortgage
companies, and other financial
institutions.
• View debt in a negative light
AREA FIVE:
Prudent Spender
Does your spending line up
with millionaires?
Changes for 2011: Become a prudent
spender
Faith-Based Millionaires typically:
• Buy items in line with morals
• Are willing to pay for value
• Comparative shop
• Don’t often purchase for “status”
• Often reuse, buy discounted, or even
used.
• Become wealthy by controlling both
sides of the balance sheet: income and
spending.
• Want to increase spending? Increase
your income first. Spend less than you
make…
Try to view each spending decision in
light of your net worth. Will this
purchase increase or decrease my
wealth. Will it provide sufficient
value?
Does your spending line up?
Lesson 1: Millionaire Mindset
Changing habits, changing mindsets!
False belief 1: “My success happens
at someone else’s expense.”
Discontinue habits that are
destroying wealth…
Create habits that move you closer
to financial freedom…
Look at past, examine present,
project your future…
Abundance versus scarcity…
Lesson 2: Build a proper financial
foundation
False belief 2: “I should buy term
and invest the difference”.
Instead I will show you how the rich
buy no/low commission dividend
paying whole life insurance to
maximize the cash value and retire
tax free!
How you can create your own
banking system. We will examine
how you can build wealth no matter
what the stock and real estate
markets do!
Lesson 3: Defeating debt
False belief 3: “ The fastest
way out of debt is reducing
my spending.”
We will look at strategies of
how to properly use debt, how
to get spending in line with
your values, and how to
restructure your finances to
achieve financial freedom
much sooner than your
current pace.
Lesson 4: Investing inYou
False belief 4: “The stock market is
the fastest way to wealth. I should
buy and hold.”
We will look at how to build your
own business – how to create a
million dollar business doing what
you love. Whether you are starting
from scratch or trying to take your
current business to the next level.
How to find the ideal market, using
the right message, communicated
with the proper media, utilizing the
correct measurement.
Lesson 5: Where to invest - morally

Lesson 6: Investing in Alternative
Investments
False belief 6: “I shouldn’t invest in
gold or silver. They are poor longterm investments.”
Why the dollar will go the way of the
dinosaur and how you can take
advantage of the greatest transfer of
wealth ever!
How to buy silver and gold. What to
do before the dollar collapses. How
to protect and grow your wealth.
Why commodity prices will continue
to soar…
