    Becoming Your Own Banker, Part 30: Infinite Banking Process Explained
    May 6 2024
    Why does Infinite Banking work? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKdgq2KDw_s We'll look at the flow of money through the economy, where it is pooling, who owns it, who controls it, and who gets access. This is the Infinite Banking Process explained; and this clarity will tell you everything you need to know about how money works. Unlock the secrets to financial sovereignty as we journey through the empowering strategy of infinite banking, inspired by Nelson Nash's celebrated philosophy. We unravel the often misunderstood world of controlling your own financial destiny. Imagine breaking free from traditional banking, navigating the complexities of money management with ease, and placing the power firmly in your own hands. Through our illuminating discussion, you'll discover a straightforward approach to building your pool of wealth, gaining insights that promise to transform your relationship with money. In today's episode, we delve into the mechanics of how money circulates within personal and economic systems, drawing insightful parallels with natural cycles and Warren Buffett's investment principles. You'll learn about the inner workings of life insurance companies, unveiling how you can tap into their capital reservoirs to your advantage. By embracing the simplicity of taking control of the banking function, we champion the mantra of modeling the successful few. Don't miss the opportunity to explore how infinite banking can reshape your future, offering you the keys to constructing a life and business that reflect your true aspirations. Building Cash Value Through InsuranceInfinite Banking Process Explained: The Value of Cash ValueMoney and the Water CycleBook A Strategy Call Building Cash Value Through Insurance You may have heard that Infinite Banking is “more caught than taught,” which is Nelson’s way of saying that the concept is more important to understand than the minute details. If you understand from a macro perspective how things work, you can do great things with IBC—the rest comes with time and study. For example, most people get hung up on the idea of rate of return when reviewing financial strategies and products. But if you place too much value on rates of return, you may lose out on other valuable benefits like liquidity, protection, tax advantages, and more. Or, if you’re too focused on getting a good rate of return, your average growth could be worse than a slow but steady rate of return. By understanding the principles of IBC—like building cash value with as much flexibility as possible—the rate of return and other concerns are minimized. We’re asking you to reframe how you think about your wealth. Infinite Banking Process Explained: The Value of Cash Value [03:12] “Really it’s about developing a pool of money that you can then access to take the finance charge out of your life, and when you come upon opportunities in your life to then use that for investments. It’s really that simple.” Cash has tremendous value in our lives, and we all have a need for financing while we’re on this earth. The place where you store your cash can have a major impact on how you use it when you use it, and why you use it. By storing your cash in whole life insurance, you guarantee that you remain in control of those functions, so you can use your money when you want to, and you can finance what you want to. That’s the value of cash value. Money and the Water Cycle The reality of money is that it flows. It flows from one reservoir to another, like water, so we’re going to explain Infinite Banking through the analogy of water. Like the water cycle, money in your “pool” can evaporate, it can condense, and fill your pool more, or it can flow to/from other sources. The important part is that you have the pool to work with! Money enters your insurance company’s pool by paying premiums and repaying loans (which translates to increasing your own pool of money).

    Becoming Your Own Banker, Part 29: Words Matter
    Apr 29 2024
    Ever felt like financial jargon was designed to confuse rather than clarify? Join us as we navigate the labyrinth of financial terminology, particularly within the infinite banking sphere. It's not just about learning by rote; it's about cementing a rock-solid financial strategy based on clear, precise language. By dissecting common misconceptions, we aim to transform your understanding from hazy to laser-focused, providing you with the tools to discern financial facts from fiction and proving that words matter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziAj2-Se8fI Journey with us as we illuminate the enigmatic world of life insurance company ratings, Comdex scores, and the lifeline that is the reserve fund. Grasping these concepts is not just about knowledge—it's about safeguarding your future dividends. Our personal stories bring these ideas to life, showing how life insurance company policies can influence your financial trajectory. We'll also equip you with a broader vision of the infinite banking concept, one that goes beyond dividends to a holistic view of accessible capital, cash value growth, and the profound benefits of a well-designed system. Finally, become the architect of your own prosperity by mastering the finance tools at your disposal. As we explore the principles of disciplined savings and strategic capital use, you'll learn to cultivate a mindset that prioritizes wealth creation over mere accumulation. We invite your questions and curiosity, as they fuel our mission to empower you to make informed, confident financial decisions. So, let's transform your understanding of finance and pave the way to a thriving financial legacy. And clarity in the fundamentals leads to clarity in your use of the whole strategy. Join us as we continue the series through Becoming Your Own Banker with Part 2 on the Glossary of Terms. IBC Glossary of Terms, ContinuedDefinition of Co-GenerationDefinition of ClassificationDefinition of Contingency FundDefinition of EarningsThe Fundamentals of Infinite BankingBook A Strategy Call IBC Glossary of Terms, Continued Definition of Co-Generation This is a term used in conversations on electrical power that acknowledges that there are many sources from which to generate power within the distribution system, many of which are both producers and consumers of power. In other words, to generate the end product (electricity/power) there isn’t just one component, and it isn’t just producing. Many components within the system produce AND consume power before the final product is complete. Applied to banking, you can understand that in a properly working system, there are going to be times for capitalization (“producing”) and times for leverage (“consuming”). The process of banking is not just stockpiling, it is ALL functions of money. Definition of Classification Webster’s Dictionary defines classification as “the act of grouping into classes that have systematic relations, usually founded on common properties.” In other words, we all classify things based on their major characteristics. Classification is a great tool because it can help us compartmentalize new information and fit it into what we already know. But when it comes to life insurance, there is a great challenge, which is laid out in Becoming Your Own Banker, to rethink your thinking. After all, it would be tempting to classify life insurance as any other insurance product and move on. But when we do this, we miss out on the chance to form a proper mental construct of what whole life insurance is and can do. Though life insurance is certainly insurance, whole life insurance with a dividend-paying mutual insurance company shares characteristics with banking, and should be classified as such. It just requires that you see things a little bit differently and dig a bit deeper. Definition of Contingency Fund This is the amount of money an insurance company retains as surplus after paying deat...

    Becoming Your Own Banker, Part 28: Infinite Banking Definitions
    Apr 22 2024
    Have you ever felt like you're on a financial hamster wheel, constantly spinning but never gaining traction? Join us as we unpack the epilogue and glossary of Nelson Nash's "Becoming Your Own Banker." It's a journey through the intricate philosophy of IBC, as we cover Infinite Banking definitions that shows how effective money management can reduce your reliance on financial institutions—empowering you to take charge of your financial destiny. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_87p12Kasus As we comb through the fine print of Nash's teachings, we illuminate the idea that banking extends well beyond the brick-and-mortar institutions we're accustomed to. It's a profound discussion that traverses the importance of adhering to principles and contract terms, the influence of family values on Nash's strategies, and the critical role of capital in both your personal finances and the broader economy. Imagine building a financial foundation so robust that you negotiate life's transactions from a position of strength. We reveal how this can be your reality through the strategic use of whole life insurance as a personal banking system. Wrapping up with a profound understanding of policy ownership in mutual life insurance companies, we explore how this positions you uniquely to reap dividends and control the banking process. It's not just about being on the receiving end of profits; it's about ownership and the control that comes with it. Tune in as we guide you through the mechanics of life insurance policies, the growth of cash value, and how paying interest on policy loans can play into the success of your financial strategy. Our conversation is more than a lesson; it's a revelation on how to unlock the full potential of Infinite Banking and claim autonomy over your financial future. Want to be successful with Infinite Banking? Make sure you understand your Infinite Banking policy by knowing these terms and definitions. The Truth About Infinite BankingInfinite Banking DefinitionsDefinition of BankingDefinition of CapitalDefinition of Capitalization PeriodDefinition of Cash ValueBook A Strategy Call The Truth About Infinite Banking [7:50] “When you think about Infinite Banking, it is not a product. I think so many times people think this is a product. ‘I can buy this life insurance that does a protective job in my financial life.’” Whole life insurance is a product. This much is true. However, Infinite Banking is a concept and a process that you apply to the product. It’s entirely possible to have whole life insurance without ever employing the Infinite Banking concept. And so you have to be careful that you don’t simply buy the product and stop there. You’ve also got to implement good strategies and habits so that you actually execute the banking function in your life. This takes work, education, and guidance. [13:19] “You put a tool in the hand of somebody that doesn’t know how to use it, they’re going to break the tool. So Infinite Banking is a tool. If you do not follow the basic tenets, it could fail on you. And what does fail mean [in this case]? It means the life insurance doesn’t stay in place. But not because the concept was bad, [but] because you did not follow through with what the contract said it was going to be.” Infinite Banking Definitions As we reach the end of our series on Becoming Your Own Banker, we reach the Glossary, in which Nelson defines the major terms and words used throughout the book. This can help you can a deeper understanding and appreciation for what's happening within the Infinite Banking "Concept," so that you can apply it with greater understanding. Definition of Banking If you’re going to implement Infinite Banking, first you want to identify regular banking. The Webster definition of banking is “the business of a bank; originally restricted to money changing and now devoted to taking money on deposit subject to check or draft, loaning money,
