Paul went from working as a stockbroker for a major firm to being a full-time entrepreneur. He now specialises in helping other entrepreneurs fix their finances and teaches them to buy assets to create passive income.

Paul talks to Pete about how he got to where he is today, his businesses and why everyone should be trying to learn as much as they can about money and finance.

 KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Fire in the belly to Paul is the thing that drives you, that helps you strive for the things you want in life.
• When Paul found jujitsu, he found out how to master his life. He found a way to feel and channel his competitiveness whilst humbling himself at the same time. It also taught him problem solving skills as well as how to strive to do better.
• Because Paul was never taught anything about money or finances, he now feels obligated to teach the people he meets as much as he can, so they can benefit from the knowledge he now has.
• The pandemic hit Paul and his businesses hard but luckily as he was based in Texas, the restrictions were lifted fairly early on so they were able to recover.
• Money just amplifies who you are. Money doesn’t make you a bad or a good person, it just amplifies who you already are!
• Have a long-term plan for your stocks and don’t get emotionally attached.
• Post-Pandemic, Paul has diversified his investments and also focuses on his fundamentals, his basics. This way he feels more protected whilst making his money work for him.
• When doing more riskier investments, Paul always keeps it in his head that he should only invest what he is willing to lose.
• There is a lot of misinformation about finance and investments out there, this is something Paul often has to battle with when trying to teach his clients what is the best plan for their money.
