The Rule of 3

The "Rule of Three" is used in learning situations with young children, wilderness survival, mathematics, language, and so much more. I want to focus on learning and survival because both of these topics, when looked at from a big picture, also apply to your finances.  You need to learn how to use your money efficiently to pay for things that you need to survive (like I said, big picture).

Rule of Three in survival situations:

  1. You can survive for 3 Minutes without air (oxygen) or in icy water

  2. You can survive for 3 Hours without shelter in a harsh environment (unless in icy water)

  3. You can survive for 3 Days without water (if sheltered from a harsh environment)

  4. You can survive for 3 Weeks without food (if you have water and shelter)

The main point of this set of "Rules of Three" that you need to focus on the most substantial problem first. If the biggest problem is that you can't breathe we need to remedy that immediately.

I hear you asking "How does this apply to...

Developing a Gratitude Mindset

I went to a training this spring where we really focused on the concept of the gratitude mindset. This really flipped my views on what my next steps in my business would be, so I wanted to share the most significant pieces of gratitude mindset and how you can apply gratitude mindset to your life, every day. 

What is Gratitude Mindset, you say? Well, it's the action of seeing the upsides instead of the downsides to the situations around us. Or if you like metaphors, we will be working to see the glass as half full instead of half empty.

Many people look at their circumstances and see that they don't have enough money to achieve their dreams, or their partner may not be living up to the expectations we have set, maybe you think after a while that your home isn't nice enough or your car isn't new enough. We don't usually stop to consider what a blessing it is that we even have money in the bank, a job, partner, and roof over our heads.

It's become commonplace, and even comedy to...

Building a Team for Your Kingdom

Our sixth step in building our Kingdom is deciding if we're ready to build a team. Let's say you've 10 X'ed your income and you are starting to get overwhelmed by the amount of work that has started to come in. As you build your business and your influence tasks you once saw as “relaxing busy work” may begin to feel tedious. This is one good sign that you are ready to outsource and hire people to help you grow your business.

So, I’m sure your next questions is, Denzel, what do you need to look for when I start to build a team – what are my first steps? Don’t you worry I have 5 things for you to think about when you are ready to build your team.

  2. Find a role model, or a couple of role models whose company,...

Multiple Streams of Income | Why Do I Need One?

So, let's start at the beginning because on a basic level, we've already discussed the two main types of income streams, Active and Passive. Active Income is income earned by actively putting forth effort to create income while Passive Income is the income you earn in your sleep.

Many of us are already hustling and bringing in a second stream of income, whether we realize it or not. Did you know 4 in 10 Americans have a side hustle or a source of income that is outside of their standard paycheck? Now you're wondering - what are the benefits to having multiple streams of income? Well, I'm here to share my three favorite reasons why people are gravitating towards having various streams of income, and I'll share a video explaining my multiple streams covering how I'm expanding my Kingdom.

Launching Your Kingdom

Today we are going to be talking about how to launch a business for your Kingdom, and how to choose an entity type for that business. So first things first, what are the different options?

 

Sole proprietorship: A sole proprietorship could be right for you if you want to run a small-ish operation, with a few employees or contractors. For this type of business, you need to be comfortable making 100% of the business decisions.

+ there is no legal paperwork involved (apart from local licenses/permits)

- It can be hard to get financing since banks and investors see a sole proprietorship as a risky business entity.

Partnerships: If you or your industry thrive better in a creative and collaborative environment, a partnership might be the right type of business for you. Popular examples of partnerships include law firms, bars and restaurants, creative agencies, and family businesses.

+/- Partners equally share all costs, debts, and losses (except in limited partnerships)

5 Small Changes That Will Improve Your Life

Recently I have started talking about mindset shifts here on the blog - while this topic is always sprinkled into my YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram content I'd like to dedicate a moment to further discussing ways to improve your life and your Kingdom once you understand Velocity Banking and have your finances in order. 

 We all know that maintaining a firm understanding of your finances removes many stressors from the average person's life - many people who have all of that under control still don't have their Kingdom in order. So, let's talk about 5 things you can work on every day that will help put your Kingdom in order:

  1. Find Your Rhythm: As entrepreneurs and business owners, many of us forget where the lines of our work and home lives begin and end. Set clear boundaries for yourself and the people you love so that there is a clear understanding of when work begins and ends - there are exceptions to this rule (it's also good to have guidelines for what those...
