  SPEAKER_00: Hello, everyone.
• 0:01
  SPEAKER_00: Welcome to the Military Real Estate Rookie Show.
• 0:04
  SPEAKER_00: I'm Rena, your host.
• 0:06
  SPEAKER_00: So this episode is about you are not different.
• 0:10
  SPEAKER_00: The truth about building wealth.
• 0:12
  SPEAKER_00: I know it's going to be exciting, but I want to make sure that you guys understand that building wealth takes time.
• 0:19
  SPEAKER_00: So, in that regard, this is about financial growth and mindset needed to build a stronger future.
• 0:27
  SPEAKER_00: I'm your host, and my goal is to educate you and encourage you and empower you to make confident decisions and about your financial journey.
• 0:37
  SPEAKER_00: Whether you're buying your first home, building your first investment, starting over in a major after a major life event, or simply trying to understand how wealth is.
• 0:48
  SPEAKER_00: This conversation is for you.
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_00: So grab your coffee, get comfortable, and let's talk about building wealth.
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_00: I want to start today's conversation with something I think it's really important to me, and you are no different from anyone else in your ability to build wealth.
• 1:05
  SPEAKER_00: I want you to really let that sink in.
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_00: Because so many people have been taught directly or indirectly that wealth is only available to certain people.
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe you've heard thoughts like, people like me don't become wealthy.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_00: I didn't grow up around money.
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_00: I didn't go to the right school.
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know enough about investments.
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_00: But I'm too far behind.
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_00: But today I want to remind you of something powerful.
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_00: Your starting point does not determine your finish line, your background does not eliminate your possibilities.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_00: And your current situation does not define your future.
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_00: So with that, I want to make sure that you understand that this is a marathon and it takes a minute.
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_00: And it starts with you building your legacy for your family.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_00: I keep debating about it.
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_00: It was scary.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: I could not afford it.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_00: These are all the excuses that you all are experiencing right now.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_00: But one day I met a fellow military member who was buying real estate.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_00: This is a personal story for me that empowered me to do the same journey to build wealth.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_00: Today I want to talk about belief that can hold people behind and they can take a step.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_00: The first step, and that is believing that you can build wealth over time.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe you look at someone successful and thought they had an advantage I didn't have.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_00: They had connections, they had money, they had better opportunity.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_00: While it's true that everyone's journey looks different, there is another truth we cannot ignore.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_00: These principles are building wealth, are available to anyone willing to learn, grow, and take intentional actions.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_00: Success is not reserved for a selected few.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_00: Wealth is not built because someone with a special ability that others don't have.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_00: For most people, wealth is created through simple principles practiced consistently over time.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_00: Learning, discipline, patience, smart decisions, taking actions, and the willingness to keep going when the journey feels uncomfortable.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_00: The first step toward financial empowerment is to recognize that you have the potential, you have the ability to learn, to improve, to make different decisions starting today.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_00: Now let's have a little coffee conversation.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_00: Imagine you're sitting together and you're telling me, Rena, I want to build wealth, but I don't know where to start.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_00: First, I want you to know something that is the feeling is normal.
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_00: Many successful people start exactly where you are.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_00: They didn't have all the answers, they didn't have a perfect plan.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_00: They simply made the decision to learn.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_00: The difference between you and where you are today is you want to be tomorrow.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_00: You wanted to have things now.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_00: It's often built through small decisions repeated over time.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_00: And it takes steps, it takes time.
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_00: As I said, it's a marathon.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe today your step is learning about budgeting.
• 4:30
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe it's improving your credit.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe it's understanding how real estate works.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe save your first emergency fund.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe it's having your first conversation with someone who can help you guide you.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_00: Every major financial accomplishment begins with you.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_00: A first step.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_00: The foundation of wealth begins with understanding this.
• 4:55
  SPEAKER_00: Everyone starts with potential.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_00: Not everyone starts with the same resources or the same opportunities or the same challenges.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_00: But everyone has the ability to learn, adapt, and grow.
• 5:09
  SPEAKER_00: Your circumstances matter, but they do not have to become your limitation.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_00: The question is not where did I start?
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_00: The better question is where can I do with where I am today?
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_00: Wealth is built through choices, it is built by making educated financial decisions, it's built by understanding your options, it's built by using your skills and your resources wisely.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_00: And it's built by having a long-term vision.
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_00: This is one of the reasons why I love real estate.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_00: Real estate is not just about buying and selling homes, it's about understanding opportunities.
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_00: It's about creating stability, it's about building something that can benefit you and your family for years to come.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_00: A home can become more than a place to live.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_00: It can become the financial foundation for your legacy.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_00: One of the biggest mindset shifts we can make is moving from a mindset of scarcity to a mindset of possibility.
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_00: A scarcity mindset says, I can't.
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_00: People face financial struggles all the time.
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_00: Unexpected circumstances happen, setbacks happen, but your challenges do not have to become your identity.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_00: You can acknowledge where you are and where you still believe and where you can go.
• 7:00
