  SPEAKER_00: Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to the Bridges and Beacons podcast.
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_00: I'm your host, Kelly Meyerson, and we're here, and this will be the last episode that I'm recording for this season.
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm really excited because I have a very cool guest with us today.
• 0:55
  SPEAKER_00: His name is Joel Salomon, and he is a finance, mindful money expert, and prosperity coach who helps others overcome obstacles standing in the way of their financial freedom.
• 1:07
  SPEAKER_00: He's an award-winning TEDx speaker, workshop facilitator, and frequent television and podcast guest.
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_00: As a former manager of a$700 million portfolio, the creator of his own successful hedge fund, and the author of three best-selling books, he has learned that the true foundation of wealth is a mindset of gratitude, love, and service.
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_00: Welcome.
• 1:33
  SPEAKER_00: I'm so happy to have you, Joel.
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_03: Thanks so much for having me, Kelly.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_03: It's a great pleasure and honor to be here today.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_00: I'm so excited.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_00: First of all, I'm excited because you're you're I'm over here in New Jersey.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_00: You're over in the greatest city of the world, as we said at the top.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_00: But I I really what caught my eye about your bio is the true foundation of wealth is a mindset of gratitude, love, and service.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_00: I love that so much because I think a lot of people may come at money mindset and money challenges with the idea that you know you have it or you don't have it.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_00: You you have money, you don't have money.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_00: You're lucky or you're unlucky.
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_00: And it sounds like your approach is so much more than that.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_03: Absolutely, it is.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_03: And there we're taught limiting beliefs growing up.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_03: Right?
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_03: You if you weren't brought up in a castle, I wasn't, then you are probably taught things or heard from your parents.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_03: We can't afford that.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_03: Money doesn't grow on trees, which by the way, is literally false because money is paper and paper comes from trees.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_03: So I digress.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_00: I love that.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_03: You may have heard inflation's really high.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_03: You may have heard you gotta work really, really hard to be rich and successful.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_03: That's my favorite, right?
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_03: Because that some people have told me that's just truth.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_03: And I will tell you that's your tell them that's your truth.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_03: Because in 2009, when I was managing a portfolio for Citigroup of hundreds of millions of dollars, I made 10 times what I made in 2007 and multiples of what I made in 2008 by working smarter, more productively, and being happier.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_03: And actually, that's one of the nine money rules millionaires use my second book from 2019, the bestseller from 2019.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_03: And, you know, rule number three can happiness buy you money?
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_03: Not can money buy you happiness, can happiness buy you money?
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_03: So if you're happier, you'll create more abundance in your life.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_03: And so I learned a lot of these beliefs that were empowering back in 2009 when after 2008, because you may uh you're very young, you you don't remember, you're probably 12, but in in 2008, the market went down, the stock market in the US went down 40%.
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_03: And the financial stocks went down 57%, and those were the only ones I was invested in.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_03: I managed to make a little bit of money that year, but the point of the story was I was grinding it out.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_03: I was moving matter to make matter, I was told, work hard, become financially free, work hard, become rich and successful.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_03: And so I did.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_03: This is what I did in 2008.
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_03: And probably July, August, September, I we were up a little bit, November, December, had worked 70 to 75 hours each week in 2008, and barely got a bonus, barely got my salary.
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_03: And I realized if I continued to do that kind of work, that I might not see my daughters become teenagers.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_03: They were four and two at the time.
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_03: Of course, I wasn't present with them, even though I was physically with them.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_03: I was I was on my BlackBerry checking the stocks those weekends and evenings.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_03: And so I knew I needed to change my thoughts, my beliefs, and my actions in order to create a different reality for myself.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_03: And that's what I teach now, right?
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_03: If you can change your thoughts from and beliefs from those limiting beliefs we just mentioned to empowering beliefs, and I'm not saying you need to go back to 1999 and check every code in that software that's probably some malware in there.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_03: You just need to instill some empowering beliefs.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_03: You know, what I do is I upgrade people's money software and instill the empowering beliefs.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_03: And so that's what I did in 2009.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_03: And I changed the way I thought, I believed, and I acted.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_03: And lo and behold, I made 10 times what I'd made in 2007.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_03: And so I put those together into the nine money rules millionaires use, my book from 2019, because I want people to know those nine rules.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_03: Now, by the way, I'm not a rules guy, so I'm not really good with rules that tell me to do this.
• 6:29
  SPEAKER_03: I'm probably not gonna do it.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_03: And so don't follow all of them.
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_03: If it doesn't resonate, I what out what I should have said at the top of the interview was whatever resonates, take, whatever doesn't from this interview, throw out.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_03: I'm just here to serve you.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_03: And so rule number one is when you believe.
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_03: Because if you don't believe it's possible to create massive wealth, it's not.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_03: Before I have people sign up for my new Invest Smart Engine, which is a stock picking program, I ask them on a scale of one to 10, 10 absolute faith, one massive doubt, what's your belief level that you can double your money in the next one to two years?
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_03: And if they're not an eight, nine, or ten, I say don't sign up.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_03: Because you create your reality and your past experience, which may have been poor, can color your future results.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_03: And so the people who have told me they're 10, I had one guy say, Joel, I'm a 12, I'm a 14, I'm off the charts.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_03: I know that's possible.
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_03: I know that's probable, I know that's gonna happen.
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_03: Now he generated 140% return in four months.
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_00: Wow.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_03: So belief is everything.
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_03: And a lot of people come to me and say, just teach me your program.
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_03: And I say no.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_03: Because if your mindset is down here in worry, fear, and anxiety about money, I could give you the best strategy in the world.
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_03: And it may work for a little bit, but then you're coming right back down, right?
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_03: And so vibration and frequency and emotion, and emotions are just energy and emotion.
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_03: And so what's your what's your energy?
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_03: What's your vibration?
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_03: What's your frequency when it comes to emotions around money?
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_03: Are you vibrating down here in fear, worry, loss, anxiety, or are you vibrating up here in as you talked about, gratitude, love, joy, appreciation, passion?
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_03: Because by the way, that's the same frequency as abundance and prosperity.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_00: I love all of that.
• 8:51
  SPEAKER_00: And I love that you said too that you're you're working with people who are who are ready to act on their healthy beliefs.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_00: That if we're still down here and there's negativity, it's just no strategy is ever gonna work because you're convinced it's not already.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_03: So or no, there are people who get sold strategies.
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_03: Like I I had a woman I was talking to recently who said, Well, I I can't work with you because I just signed up for this awesome AI bot, and it's gonna it's gonna get me clients for sure.
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_03: And I so somebody had convinced her, even though her money mindset, based on my 20-minute call with her, was way down here in worry and fear, and she had to get she had a she was doing it, Hail Mary.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_03: She was like, I gotta, this has gotta work, otherwise I'm out of business.
• 9:53
  SPEAKER_03: So I gotta try something.
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_03: And a lot of people are doing these kinds of things, they're getting sold a strategy or a process, and they don't realize that their money mindset, their money thermostat is set for failure.
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_03: Right?
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_03: Because they were taught things about money growing up, and no matter what strategy you're given, it may work for a little bit, but over the long term, those money beliefs are gonna win out.
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_00: It's so true.
• 10:31
  SPEAKER_00: So where do you like to start with people?
• 10:37
  SPEAKER_03: Mindset.
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_03: What I have them do is fill out a financial freedom survey, and then a money personality type survey.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_03: And the financial freedom survey is a lot about what their parents did, their parents' thought, their parents' beliefs first.
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_03: So we'll we'll review that and then we'll review their beliefs.
• 11:00
  SPEAKER_03: I give them a list of statements and I ask them, do they believe this is true?
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_03: Do you believe rich people are criminals?
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_03: By the way, I've had people say, yeah, all rich people are criminals.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_03: Wow.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_03: Well, then it's gonna be really hard for you to be rich because you're a good soul and you're creating resistance every time you're like, well, no, rich people are criminals.
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_03: So we gotta change that view, that belief first.
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_03: If you you can ever become rich.
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_03: If I'm a good person, I should be happy with just getting by.
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_03: If I'm spiritual, then I should be I I shouldn't be rich because those rich people, you know, are different than me.
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_03: So the the first survey is figuring out where they are, although I have a pretty good sense from the first call.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_03: And then we do the money personality type survey to figure out which of the seven money personality types they are, which comes from my last book, Infinite Love and Money, where Molly Singh and I created seven money personality types.
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_03: By the way, the acronym is Sugapie.
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_03: And so S is for splurge, and and by the way, the names are provocative to sell books, of course, but um there's there's each each letter is has positives and negatives.
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_03: Each money personality type has positive and negative.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_03: So S splurger, U unconscious, sounds terrible, but there's positives to be unconscious.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_03: G is for greedy, A is for accumulator saver, should have pie, P is the protectionist.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_03: So those are the people who are hoarding.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_03: They they don't even put the money in the bank like the accumulator, they put it under the mattress or in their underneath their pillow.
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_03: I is the investor, that's me, and then Ega is the egotist.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_03: And so I asked them to fill out the survey to figure out which one they are, and then adjust based on if they have a partner, if they have a business partner or a personal partner, and and because their benefits and and weaknesses to each.
• 13:29
  SPEAKER_03: And then I asked them to rank their level of belief from one to ten on 19 different affirmations.
• 13:37
  SPEAKER_03: Because the one thing that most people who teach affirmations don't teach is your belief level.
• 13:44
  SPEAKER_03: Just say I am a money magnet, just say I am an excellent money manager over and over again, right?
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_03: And and you can, and a few years from now, if you're saying it 10 times a day, you will become an excellent money manager.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_03: But most people give up after a few weeks or a few months.
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_03: So what I do is I have people have my clients say things they believe.
• 14:13
  SPEAKER_03: Because if you're if you keep on saying, I am financially free, I'm financially free, but that's not the truth, you're just creating resistance, right?
• 14:23
  SPEAKER_03: And so you can pound through over many, many years, but why not say I allow myself to become financially free?
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_03: Which maybe you have a much higher belief in.
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_03: Or someday soon I will be financially free.
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_03: Now, I don't recommend saying stuff into the future forever because the future is forever in the future.
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_03: But after you do that for a couple of months and you start seeing some manifestations, which my clients, by the way, in my Money Miracles Mastermind Group have manifested$2,690,000 in the last four years, four and a half years.
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_03: So when you start seeing some money manifestations and real, not like$2, but$2,000,$20,000,$200,000, we've the highest has been$322,000, by the way.
• 15:11
  SPEAKER_03: So once you start seeing these amounts, you start getting more confident.
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_03: And unfortunately, you know, in this 3D reality, most people, it's seeing is believing.
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_03: You know, I think it's the opposite, believing is seeing.
• 15:25
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_03: But once you're softening these beliefs that, you know, these statements that you don't fully believe, then you can make them stronger once you start actually seeing some results.
• 15:36
  SPEAKER_03: And I get it, you know, doing some baby steps, seeing some results gets you a higher level of belief.
• 15:41
  SPEAKER_03: And conviction happens to me when investing, you know, usually I have a very high belief starting out with stock investment.
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_03: But when it starts, when it's working, you know, my conviction level, my belief level will be higher.
• 15:55
  SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_00: I think this is all so fascinating because you realize how much power we have.
• 16:08
  SPEAKER_00: So if what you said about, you know, the money doesn't grow on trees, you know, rich people are evil, whatever that is.
• 16:17
  SPEAKER_00: If you can convince yourself to the level that it limits your income capacity, why wouldn't conversely it be easy for you to change what you believe?
• 16:29
  SPEAKER_00: And the opposite can occur, right?
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_03: One of the affirmations I have them say or ask them what they're believable of is I create my life.
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_03: I create the exact amount of my financial success.
• 16:45
  SPEAKER_03: And almost everybody, I I've I've had hundreds of clients, I've had many prospective clients that I give this to before they start working with me.
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_03: And almost everyone has said, Yeah, I'm eight, nine of ten.
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_03: I had somebody recently before they started working with me, had them fill it out, and they were a one.
• 17:06
  SPEAKER_03: And I was like, tell me more.
• 17:12
  SPEAKER_03: Because if you don't believe that you're responsible for your financial success, then who is?
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_03: Well, my financial advisor, my financial planner.
• 17:25
  SPEAKER_03: No, you chose them.
• 17:29
  SPEAKER_03: And so I teach my clients, and I I believe this myself, I take full responsibility for my life.
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_03: Now, some people will argue with that.
• 17:40
  SPEAKER_03: Well, what about the economy?
• 17:42
  SPEAKER_03: What about the president?
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_03: What about the government?
• 17:45
  SPEAKER_03: What about inflation?
• 17:46
  SPEAKER_03: What about what about what about the Federal Reserve chair new chairman?
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_03: On and on and on.
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_03: What about China?
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_03: What about Russia?
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_03: On and on and on.
• 17:56
  SPEAKER_03: I will tell you that I fully believe that your thoughts create your life and your beliefs create your reality, and thoughts become things, the words give you wings.
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_03: And so if you're blaming your life on the economy or the president or whatever, then you've lost control.
• 18:23
  SPEAKER_03: And then anything can happen, and you're like, well, it's not my responsibility.
• 18:32
  SPEAKER_03: But if you take full responsibility for your life, then you can change.
• 18:36
  SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
• 18:37
  SPEAKER_03: And you can change quickly.
• 18:39
  SPEAKER_03: And so I I was on a call recently with a a woman, a prospective client, who told me, she lives in your state, by the way, New Jersey, and she told me, you know, in New Jersey, as a wellness coach, you can't charge more than$500 for four sessions.
• 18:56
  SPEAKER_03: And I said, tell me more.
• 18:58
  SPEAKER_03: And she said, Well, I've tried.
• 19:00
  SPEAKER_03: And, you know, the eight or nine or ten people I've talked to won't pay more than that.
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_03: Well, I'm pretty sure there's more than 10 people in New Jersey.
• 19:11
  SPEAKER_03: And this is your reality, your belief, but it's not the truth.
• 19:19
  SPEAKER_03: It's is it limiting belief or an empowering belief?
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_03: She actually said it is the truth.
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_03: It has to be the truth because this is my experience.
• 19:29
  SPEAKER_03: So I just asked prospective clients and existing clients, is it a limiting belief or an empowering belief?
• 19:39
  SPEAKER_03: And if it's not empowering, why not change it to one that is?
• 19:43
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 19:45
  SPEAKER_03: What if she had said there's gotta be at least a hundred people in the state of New Jersey that will pay at least a thousand dollars?
• 19:58
  SPEAKER_03: What if?
• 20:00
  SPEAKER_01: And I can find them.
• 20:07
  SPEAKER_03: So check yourself.
• 20:10
  SPEAKER_03: Are you blaming the economy and things beyond what quote unquote you know or beyond yourself and and say and blaming others?
• 20:21
  SPEAKER_03: I I will tell you you create your economy.
• 20:25
  SPEAKER_03: No one else does.
• 20:26
  SPEAKER_03: Now, some people would say in 2009 it would be would have been impossible to make 10 times what you made in 2007.
• 20:35
  SPEAKER_03: We were in the midst of the deepest financial crisis.
• 20:40
  SPEAKER_03: Some called it uh the Great Recession, because it wasn't a depression officially, based on the economic indicators that we didn't go down by 25% in GDP, but it was the Great Recession.
• 20:55
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 20:56
  SPEAKER_03: For six months, the economy went down pretty bad in the end of 2008 and 2009.
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_03: And I just created my own economy.
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_03: And I made so much more than I made in 2007, and you know, four times what I made in 2008.
• 21:14
  SPEAKER_03: But in two and in 2006, too, I made 10 times what I made in 2006 when apparently the economy was booming.
• 22:45
  SPEAKER_03: So I say you create your economy, your beliefs.
• 22:48
  SPEAKER_03: Somebody came to me recently and said, you know, this year's tough.
• 22:54
  SPEAKER_03: This is gonna be a tough year.
• 22:56
  SPEAKER_00: Wow.
• 22:57
  SPEAKER_03: Right?
• 22:58
  SPEAKER_03: And I said, why?
• 22:59
  SPEAKER_03: And she said, Well, look at the economy, look at AI, look at this, look at that.
• 23:03
  SPEAKER_03: And I said, I don't know.
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_03: This has been my best year so far, and I had my best two months in my business the last two months.
• 23:12
  SPEAKER_03: What do you what do you believe in?
• 23:18
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 23:19
  SPEAKER_00: I I think this is so crucial, and it really can apply so much to so much more than just your financial mindset.
• 23:30
  SPEAKER_00: But the words that we're using are so important for us to consider.
• 23:38
  SPEAKER_00: Whether, like you said, is this limiting or empowering?
• 23:42
  SPEAKER_00: Is this expansive or is it contracting?
• 23:46
  SPEAKER_00: Am I am I putting limits on myself?
• 23:50
  SPEAKER_00: Am I putting limits on myself?
• 23:52
  SPEAKER_00: And I think what you're talking about when when we're externally Blaming that there's something happening out here.
• 24:03
  SPEAKER_00: It's not me.
• 24:04
  SPEAKER_00: It's something happening out here.
• 24:05
  SPEAKER_00: You give your power away.
• 24:08
  unknown: Right.
• 24:08
  SPEAKER_00: And if you give your power away, if you give your control away, then you must believe that you don't have the power or the control.
• 24:18
  SPEAKER_03: So you have 70, 50,000 to 75,000 thoughts a day.
• 24:23
  SPEAKER_03: But you only say 5,000 to 7,500 words out loud a day.
• 24:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 24:37
  SPEAKER_00: And I I recognize too how easy it is to get into ruts with the things that we say.
• 24:47
  SPEAKER_00: So for example, we see someone in the hallway at work and we say, Hey, how are you?
• 24:52
  SPEAKER_00: I'm good.
• 24:53
  SPEAKER_00: How are you?
• 24:53
  SPEAKER_00: I'm good.
• 24:55
  SPEAKER_00: You know, here we are, hustling again, you know, like these things that can just start to roll off of our tongue.
• 25:04
  SPEAKER_00: And it makes me think that the environment that we're in, the things that we're listening to, the people we're exposing ourselves to have an impact as well.
• 25:17
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, this is gonna sound crazy, but the last 14 years, I have not listened to radio news, I have not watched TV news, and I've not read a newspaper because I know they lower your vibration, lower your frequency, and I want to be vibrating up here, not down here.
• 25:39
  SPEAKER_03: So really critical to think about how you know the external world is impacting you, and you get to choose what you're reading, what you're listening to, what you're watching.
• 25:52
  SPEAKER_03: That's critical.
• 25:54
  SPEAKER_03: And and by the way, the most positive people out of those 50,000 to 75,000 thoughts, they're you know, they have probably 35,000 positive thoughts.
• 26:06
  SPEAKER_03: So if you're having a negative thought, and we often do, I tell my clients stop, cancel, clear, get the fear out of here.
• 26:16
  SPEAKER_03: Stop, cancel, clear, get the fear out of here.
• 26:19
  SPEAKER_03: Or you could use the other F word, I won't judge.
• 26:23
  SPEAKER_00: I like that though.
• 26:25
  SPEAKER_00: Stop, cancel, clear, get the fear out of here.
• 26:31
  SPEAKER_00: I love that.
• 26:32
  SPEAKER_00: I've I've heard um I've heard people say things like that where they'll they'll start to go into one of those rote phrases.
• 26:42
  SPEAKER_00: They'll be like, stop, nope, take it back, start again, you know, and it'll be instead of an internal, it's a it's a verbal, external, literal, using those words to cancel what they had started.
• 26:55
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know if you know Dr.
• 26:57
  SPEAKER_03: Joe Dispenza.
• 26:59
  SPEAKER_03: Dr.
• 27:00
  SPEAKER_03: Joe recommends just screaming change, change, right?
• 27:05
  SPEAKER_03: So you're just like it's a pattern interrupt.
• 27:10
  SPEAKER_03: Then and and Tony Robbins added to that, and then Sir John Templeton in his book, The Worldwide Laws of Life, recommended similar to Tony Robbins.
• 27:23
  SPEAKER_03: After you have the pattern interrupt scream change, then think of one or two or three really positive things that have happened in your life.
• 27:37
  SPEAKER_03: Birth of a child, your wedding day, you know, something that just lights you up and raises your vibration.
• 27:44
  SPEAKER_03: So, you know, you're in this black, you know, hole going down and you change.
• 27:49
  SPEAKER_03: And then think of, you know, I think of the birth of my daughters, Lauren and Morgan.
• 27:54
  SPEAKER_03: By the way, my company name is named after them.
• 27:57
  SPEAKER_03: So L A U R for Lauren, M O R for Morgan.
• 28:00
  SPEAKER_03: And so, you know, thinking about that, right?
• 28:03
  SPEAKER_03: And just like bathing in that miracle of childbirth for even just if it's five or 10 or 20 seconds.
• 28:11
  SPEAKER_03: And that will, you know, shift your vibration quickly.
• 28:15
  SPEAKER_00: I love that.
• 28:16
  SPEAKER_00: One of my favorite things to do is heart math.
• 28:18
  SPEAKER_00: Have you ever heard of heart math?
• 28:20
  unknown: Of course.
• 28:20
  SPEAKER_00: That's one of my favorite things to do.
• 28:22
  SPEAKER_00: And, you know, when you feel like those negative thoughts coming in, or or there's just negativity around you.
• 28:30
  SPEAKER_00: My other favorite thing to do is just say out loud, unsubscribe.
• 28:35
  SPEAKER_00: I unsubscribe.
• 28:36
  SPEAKER_00: And I agree with you.
• 28:37
  SPEAKER_00: I am not, I have not watched news in I don't even know how long, or read newspapers, or you know, and I whatever I need to know, I know, but I am so much more tuned in to people like yourself who are raising frequency, who are doing good work that is beneficial for all.
• 29:05
  SPEAKER_00: And my reality is all these people who have chosen to be soul professionals, who have chosen to believe that there is more that's possible for them and that it's possible for everybody else too.
• 29:24
  SPEAKER_00: And so I think choosing, because you said choice before, that was one of the words that use you choose, choose not to tune into that, choose to change language, choose to tune into what is so beautiful in your life and what you're so grateful for.
• 29:45
  SPEAKER_00: I think gratitude is so underrated.
• 29:49
  SPEAKER_00: That is one of the practices that I think can really, even from a very low place, bring us up pretty quickly.
• 29:58
  SPEAKER_00: Has that been your experience as well?
• 30:01
  SPEAKER_03: Absolutely.
• 30:01
  SPEAKER_03: So the rule number five in the nine money rules millionaires use is what you appreciate appreciates.
• 30:10
  SPEAKER_03: What you appreciate, appreciate.
• 30:12
  SPEAKER_03: So, yeah, the the gratitude is uh so powerful.
• 30:20
  SPEAKER_03: I I love to tell a story, but we I don't know, we don't have time for the full story.
• 30:24
  SPEAKER_03: So if somebody wants to reach out to me to hear my gratitude story, reach out.
• 30:28
  SPEAKER_03: But yeah, what I what I say is if you can so that I started doing this in 2012.
• 30:35
  SPEAKER_03: And before 2012, I would go to sleep thinking about all the things that I could have done better that day.
• 30:44
  SPEAKER_03: And didn't sleep too well.
• 30:46
  SPEAKER_03: And so the last 14 years, I've been writing down at least three things, sometimes five things a day, that I'm grateful for.
• 30:55
  SPEAKER_03: And I do the same thing in the morning, right when I wake up.
• 30:58
  SPEAKER_03: So, you know, tonight I will write down I'm grateful for Bridges and Beacons podcast and Kelly Myerson for hosting me on the show because you we had a real conversation and we probably helped at least one new person change the money mindset, right?
• 31:18
  SPEAKER_03: And so, but writing down why, not just writing down, you know, I'm grateful for being on the show, is really powerful.
• 31:27
  SPEAKER_03: And with anything, any money manifestation technique, it's feeling first, manifestation second.
• 31:35
  SPEAKER_03: So writing down, you know, getting into the feeling if you say I'm grateful for a sunny day, but you do it rote like you're checking off a box, it's not doing anything.
• 31:45
  SPEAKER_03: But if you like I got sun coming on me right now, I don't know if you could see on my head.
• 31:50
  SPEAKER_03: So like really feeling it, closing your eyes and feeling it and being grateful and laughing and smiling, and like, yes, it's a beautiful sunny day, and really feeling it, that creates right.
• 32:03
  SPEAKER_03: And so you want to write the into your gratitude journal from that aspect of you know what you're grateful for and why with emotion.
• 32:11
  SPEAKER_03: And then it's it's like it it completely changes your perspective and will put you on the path to abundance and prosperity.
• 32:25
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 32:27
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and that feeling, I think I agree with you.
• 32:29
  SPEAKER_00: It's so it's so important to feel the gratitude as much as what you're saying or what you're writing in gratitude to really feel into that.
• 32:39
  SPEAKER_00: Like you said, being just so grateful for your daughters and and feeling that love and that joy and wonder and excitement.
• 32:49
  SPEAKER_00: And that is where that frequency of abundance exists, not in your, you know, your financial statements or you know, marketing.
• 33:02
  SPEAKER_00: It's it's in that what it makes you feel, how how you envision things just getting better and better and better.
• 33:10
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 33:11
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 33:13
  SPEAKER_00: I love that.
• 33:15
  SPEAKER_00: So we talked a little bit about some of your books you shared, but you have another book in the works.
• 33:22
  SPEAKER_00: Would you like to talk at all about that before we close out the podcast?
• 33:26
  SPEAKER_03: Sure.
• 33:26
  SPEAKER_03: Your path to purpose and prosperity.
• 33:30
  SPEAKER_03: So it's a co-authored book with Jackie Roberge, and I don't believe in coincidences, only synchronicities.
• 33:39
  SPEAKER_03: We met at a Mike Dooley Tut WoW tour, and they really are pretty wow in Machu Picchu in Peru.
• 33:47
  SPEAKER_03: And actually met her right off the plane, her and her husband, and and we just spent most of the the week together, and then we became accountability partners.
• 33:56
  SPEAKER_03: And then years later, uh, so we had met, we met in in October 2018, and then years later, she reached out to me and said, I had a dream that we're writing a book together.
• 34:07
  SPEAKER_03: Are you open to it?
• 34:08
  SPEAKER_03: And I was absolutely so the point is that when you're on purpose, when you're when you're really doing your why, you will be more prosperous.
• 34:23
  SPEAKER_03: And most people who are on this earth are doing jobs to pay the bills.
• 34:33
  SPEAKER_03: And because there's fear, and and every day, all day, you can choose fear, you could choose faith.
• 34:40
  SPEAKER_03: And most people are choosing fear, they're worried that if they go out on their own, they're not gonna make it, right?
• 34:46
  SPEAKER_03: There's quote unquote all those probabilities and percentages, but again, your thoughts become things and your words give you wings.
• 34:54
  SPEAKER_03: And there are, you know, the richest people in the world, by the way, the billionaires are all entrepreneurs, have all started their own businesses, right?
• 35:04
  SPEAKER_03: It it so what limiting beliefs do you have about starting your own business or being in business versus being common?
• 35:10
  SPEAKER_03: A woman recently, I was a guy I was on a call with last week.
• 35:13
  SPEAKER_03: He said to me, Well, you know, I got laid off a few months ago, and of course I'm going back to corporate, but you know, in the meantime, you know, trying to bridge the gap by doing, you know, this this work.
• 35:27
  SPEAKER_03: And I said, Well, if money was no object, would you just do this job, do this, you know, do this of consulting?
• 35:36
  SPEAKER_03: And so, absolutely, of course.
• 35:38
  SPEAKER_03: You know, this is what I'd love to do.
• 35:40
  SPEAKER_02: Mm-hmm.
• 35:41
  SPEAKER_03: So why not?
• 35:42
  SPEAKER_03: Because I don't have enough money to to bridge the gap for years because I don't believe that I can get this up and running and make money now.
• 35:52
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 35:53
  SPEAKER_03: So what do you believe?
• 35:54
  SPEAKER_03: We're back to beliefs, you know, and so yeah, that's that's really critical, you know, understanding what your purpose is.
• 36:06
  SPEAKER_03: And then if you do, I truly believe you'll be much more prosperous.
• 36:12
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, one hundred percent.
• 36:15
  SPEAKER_00: I I believe that to be true.
• 36:18
  SPEAKER_00: It has been my experience.
• 36:20
  SPEAKER_00: I actually just last summer I read, finally read it, had been on my to-be read list for a long time, The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks, and figured out my zone of genius and started to really say, if this is my zone of genius, how do I do it here?
• 36:41
  SPEAKER_00: This is my zone of genius, how do I do it here?
• 36:43
  SPEAKER_00: And the more I started to recognize when I was in my zone of genius, the more I started to draw and attract those opportunities to me.
• 36:54
  SPEAKER_00: And the easier it became to explain to people what I'm doing and why and why it works and how I see that as being in service to everyone because it's something that's unique and special to me.
• 37:08
  SPEAKER_00: And so I think that that really is that that peace and that connection because when we're connected to our purpose and when we we truly believe and we're truly acting out of that, that's that's when the alignment happens.
• 37:25
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 37:25
  SPEAKER_00: And everything feels in flow.
• 37:30
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 37:31
  SPEAKER_03: I I will tell you that I when I was writing the nine money rules millionaires use, I really believed in each of the rules, and I had done some research, but when I got down to writing, it was 90 days.
• 37:51
  SPEAKER_03: I was done in 90 days because I wanted to get it out there.
• 37:54
  SPEAKER_03: I knew it was some powerful concepts that weren't set this particular way, and I wanted everyone to know what got me through, you know, the crisis in 2008-9.
• 38:09
  SPEAKER_03: So yeah, and I, you know, I I want to help my mission by the way, Kelly, is to help at least 100,000 people become financially free.
• 38:18
  SPEAKER_03: So I I'd love for people who are listening or watching today to be one of those.
• 38:24
  SPEAKER_03: And I'd love to gift a few of you an individualized roadmap to an extra$10,000 in the next 30 days.
• 38:34
  SPEAKER_03: Uh, this is normally a$497 financial freedom breakthrough blueprint call.
• 38:42
  SPEAKER_03: Because of UK, I'm gonna gift it to seven people who are watching and listening so that they can move to financial freedom this month.
• 38:54
  SPEAKER_00: Oh my gosh, I love that so much.
• 38:56
  SPEAKER_00: And I love that you said seven.
• 38:58
  SPEAKER_00: Seven is my life path number.
• 39:00
  SPEAKER_00: I love numerology.
• 39:02
  SPEAKER_00: And today's the 17th day that we're recording of June.
• 39:07
  SPEAKER_00: So thank you so much.
• 39:09

• 39:12
  SPEAKER_00: And I hope, listener or viewer, you'll take advantage of this and be one of the first people to jump in on this extremely generous offer.
• 39:22
  SPEAKER_00: You have shared so many drops of wisdom, and I appreciate so much all of your little phrasing.
• 39:29
  SPEAKER_00: And I love it because it's sticky and it's it's sticky in a good way because so many of us have conditioned thoughts and ideas and beliefs that are very, very sticky, you know, things that have been there for for since our childhood.
• 39:45
  SPEAKER_00: So I love that you've got these new sticky phrases, and I love that you've shared so many of them with us today.
• 39:52
  SPEAKER_00: Where can people find you?
• 39:54
  SPEAKER_00: Of course, we'll put everything in the show notes, and where can they follow you?
• 39:58
  SPEAKER_00: And most importantly, where can they get your books?
• 40:01
  SPEAKER_03: But my books are on Amazon and on my website.
• 40:05
  SPEAKER_03: So, my, as I mentioned earlier, my company name is named after my daughter's Lauren Morgan.

• 40:20
  SPEAKER_03: And I am on all social media from LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok.
• 40:27
  SPEAKER_03: It's Joel Prosperity Solomon.
• 40:30
  SPEAKER_03: S-A-L-O-M-O-N.
• 40:33
  SPEAKER_03: And prosperity is easy.
• 40:37
  SPEAKER_03: Your mind has made it hard.
• 40:41
  SPEAKER_03: Your mind has convinced you that money is scarce.
• 40:44
  SPEAKER_03: It's just not true.
• 40:45
  SPEAKER_03: Prosperity is your birthright.
• 40:47
  SPEAKER_03: You came here to thrive, not survive.
• 40:52
  SPEAKER_03: Let's get you moving to thriving, not surviving.
• 40:57
  SPEAKER_00: I'm receiving all of that right now.
• 40:59
  SPEAKER_00: I love that so much, Joel.
• 41:00
  SPEAKER_00: And I know the listener and the viewer are also receiving that.
• 41:04
  SPEAKER_00: So thank you so much.
• 41:06
  SPEAKER_00: I really appreciated all of these droplets of wisdom that you've given us today.
• 41:11
  SPEAKER_00: Listener, thank you for staying with us until the end of the episode.
• 41:16
  SPEAKER_00: And I really encourage you to like, share, subscribe to the podcast.
• 41:21
  SPEAKER_00: If this resonated with you, please share it with other people and do it quick if you want to be one of the seven, because that will not last.
• 41:28
  SPEAKER_00: That's going to go very quickly.
• 41:30
  SPEAKER_00: And make sure you go ahead and follow Joel in all the places that he shared his.
• 41:36
  SPEAKER_00: Again, it'll be in the show notes.
• 41:38
  SPEAKER_00: And I encourage all of you to take at least one droplet of wisdom and don't just let this all sprinkle over your mind, but actually take one and put it into practice.
• 41:49
  SPEAKER_00: And then I want you to let me or let Joel know how it worked for you because I think that's where we build some accountability for ourselves.
• 41:58
  SPEAKER_00: We get to take these things and really work them into our lives and make these big differences.
• 42:06
  SPEAKER_00: And I love what you said about prosperity being our birth rate.
• 42:09
  SPEAKER_00: I agree that that is so true.
• 42:12
  SPEAKER_00: And there is more than enough for all of us to thrive.
• 42:15
  SPEAKER_00: So thank you, Joel.
• 42:17
  SPEAKER_00: And we'll see you next time on the podcast.
• 42:20
  SPEAKER_00: Bye for now.
