Financial Management of Relationships

Description

John talks with Doug Bennett, the director of Financial Freedom™, Work Optional Lifestyle Financial Planner™, a mortgage broker, coach, mentor, author and renowned international speaker. He’s been doing financial planning for over 30 years and has been working with well-respected executives, entrepreneurs and business owners in the financial industry and other business realms. He is also the chair of a board of trustees for a charity which helps severely handicapped people connect with the outside world.

John and Doug chat about his goal based approach, his charity work, his life experience, counselling and coaching and some of his philosophies on mental well being.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Doug puts his success down to goal setting and writing goals down on a consistent basis.
The charity goes into care homes and communicates with the severely disabled and brings a social element into their lives.
Doug has set his goal setting philosophy down in his book “Think Simple, Win Big”.
Writing goals on a consistent daily basis without referring back will keep focus.
Keep those goals at least in the realm of realism and prepare to work hard to achieve them.
Doug has a mindset coach. Even with all his success Doug still needs and recommends professional psychological help to assist with any unforeseen personal blocks to your progress.
If anyone gives their opinion on something they’re right. In your head they might be wrong, but in theirs they’re right. You have not followed their path to get to that position so arguing is pointless, explaining your perspective is more useful.

BEST MOMENTS

‘In 2019 from being six figures in debt with a massive mortgage in 2010 I managed to sell my business for seven figures.’ - Doug

‘I think with mental well-being having goals will help people. Very often we meander through life and if you’re meandering and you’ve not got anything to go for it’s very easy to think about all the things that aren’t going well.’ – Doug

‘The law of attraction will help but you have to work.’ – Doug

‘If you set yourself a massive target you are leaving yourself open to being let down.’ – John

‘Having reflected on that I’ve decided you get me, there’s not two mes, I’m just me. I found out that being me is so much easier because if you try to be somebody else or try to be what other people expect you to be, it’s an act.’ - Doug
