How do you make your investment decisions? Imagine this: 75% of a certain group of investors make their choices based on what their preferred app shows. That's a staggering number, right?

You know the value of ownership. America's founding fathers saw private property as a cornerstone of our society and democracy. Still today, many value owning their home mortgage-free. They see no mortgage payment as a requirement for a happy retirement.

But, what really is ownership? What can you truly own? The answers might surprise you. For example, you may own the title to something. Yet, if "possession is 9/10ths of the law" what happens to your title when someone else possesses your property?

Could there be a construct that's older than titled, private property? Could that construct be a strong foundation for your financial journey?

Ready for a transformational experience of what "taking ownership" of your financial future can look like? Then, jump into this episode full steam ahead!

Compound interest is a misunderstood concept. From misattributed quotes to downright inaccurate ideas.

Listen to hear the parable of two builders tasked with constructing a pyramid. One builder rushes in and struggles with the physical task. The other takes time to plan and make micro-adjustments, achieving success more efficiently. This story serves as a metaphor for the power of uninterrupted compounding. Time and knowledge compound just like money.

Be sure to catch the simple, elementary-level math. It shows clearly how real returns can differ from expected average returns. Is your portfolio really compounding?

Keep growing your foundation of solid financial principles. Learn how to use money without interrupting its compounding growth. Michelangelo's chisel created masterpieces. So can you create a work of art on your financial journey!
