Welcome to another inspiring episode of "Doing Business with a Servant's Heart." Today, we're thrilled to be joined by Freddie, a financial expert who brings a fresh perspective on building wealth. We kick off with an intriguing analogy, comparing the financial strategies of the middle class and the wealthy to the games of checkers and chess. Freddie explains how many are taught to play "checkers," focusing on modest, safe growth that can lead to a comfortable life but may not result in substantial wealth.

Understanding your financial goals and choosing the right approach is crucial, whether you're aiming for stability or significant wealth. In another insightful segment, we shift our focus to the concept of wealth itself. We emphasize the importance of income over investments for achieving financial security and meeting personal needs.

These incentives benefit the government by creating jobs and fostering competition in the housing market. We also touch on why the government encourages having children through tax incentives to grow the tax base. Throughout our conversation, we highlight the importance of understanding whether you're playing checkers or chess in the wealth game and the critical role of having a knowledgeable advisory team. While managing finances independently is possible, having experts on your side can lead to better outcomes, much like relying on a mechanic for car repairs. Listen in as we explore these valuable insights and strategies to help you navigate your financial journey.
