NOTES:
- [00:28] Kevin: Today, we're joined by guest John Soforic. We are going to be discussing The Wealthy Gardener, John's philosophy and way of living for prosperity
- [01:55] Why don't you share more with our listeners about where you came from and what inspired you to do what you do today?
- [02:02] John: I really am a self-made millionaire that have lived an honorable life and won the life of finances
- [03:56] There were times when my family slept all night but I wasn't sure how I was going to buy groceries, and when you go through those times it really does change you. When you stop asking yourself if money makes you happy and you start saying if you had money you could do a lot of things with it (rather than chasing a dollar)
- [04:53] I traded a lot of hours for dollars and I didn't have a whole lot to show for it
- [06:30] I set a really large goal that I didn't have to think or worry about money. You can give your thoughts to more important things than money (passive income)
- [07:10] We all have this financial condition of life and life is so much better
- [07:50] I really believe you can learn your way up in life and you learn through learning curves
- [08:15] Kevin: I think sometimes that thought of "who am I?" Is a limiting thought to people (who am I to do this? This person is better to do this)[08:30] That can hold you out from learning, seeking, and achieving
- [09:00] John: When you're asking yourself that question "who am I", that's when you're in a good place in your life (living on the edge of your capacity, trying to strive for your fullest potential, doing things you don't really know you can do[09:08] You have to turn that around because those are the invisible things that hold you back (if you expand that idea, it opens up possibilities in many ways)
- [09:45] Kevin: So many times people believe that money is the root of all evil and wealthy people are jerks and that's a particular mindset about money that may or may not be true (money is a thing)[10:05] Money is not evil, it just kind of is, it's what people do
