Doing Your Best No Matter the Circumstances or Situation You’re in.

August 22, 2019tonybradshaw

Whew! July and August have been rough, but now I’m on the mend. In July and August, I spent 25 days in the hospital. For what you might ask? My right kidney decided it was time to come out. Oh yes. It happens. We’d known my kidney was bad since 2007, but it wasn’t supposed to be an issue. Well, it became an issue. What was supposed to be 4 days in the hospital turned into 14 due to complications. The other 11 days were pre-surgery diagnosis and oh, my doctor had a family reunion out of state during my stay.

During what was a miserable time, I did my best to make lemonade out of lemons. It’s not fun spending 95% of your day in a hospital bed for 14 days after surgery, but I and my lovely wife made the best of it.

A week or so before my kidney issue popped up, I had loaded 4 cases of my book, The Millionaire Choice, into my jeep for an event. Most of the books were reloaded into my jeep after the event. Turns out they came in handy.

Stuck in a hospital room and laying on my back, I wanted to at least be a little productive. Setting up a couple of book stands in the windowsill, we began giving away copies of The Millionaire Choice. In all, we gave way 100+ books to nurses, doctors and other hospital staff. I had an amazing time having discussions with everyone about their money and their future.

We discussed everything from student loans, buying houses, building rental AirBNB property add-ons to groups playing the lottery. It was amazing to see so many people get excited to learn about money. Something no one had taken time to teach them.

During my ordeal, I found inspiration and encouragement as the words of Art Williams, founder of A.L. Williams, kept coming to mind. “All you can do is all you can do, but all you can do is enough.”

Well, I’ve been home for two weeks now and just drove for the first time today. It’s time to get back to work helping people figure out their money, their future, and creating millionaire plans.

My First TV Appearance: Bridges on CTN with Monica Schmelter

July 2, 2019tonybradshaw

Okay. I admit it. I know I need to create video to get my business humming, but I’ve been reluctant. Maybe it’s “the first” blockade. Where the first time you do something, it’s the hardest time you do it, so it’s takes longer. I guess I inadvertently or maybe it was intentionally crossed the threshold. No going back. Full steam ahead. More TV and video to come.

Super excited about my first TV appearance talking about my book, The Millionaire Choice: Millionaire or Not. You can Choose.

Monica Schmelter is a fantastic host and allowed me to share my thoughts on money and building wealth for yourself, your family and helping others in need. Anything is possible when you make the right choices. Even becoming a millionaire.

With 78% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck, now more than ever, we need deliver good financial principles to the people that need them. By teaching them how to manage money and how to build wealth, they will be able to build better lives for themselves, their families and to be able to help people in need.

Aired on Tuesday, July 2nd, at 9:30 am & 8:30 pm CST. WHTN can be viewed in Middle Tennessee via Charter on Channel 10, Comcast on Channels 21 and 1039, Dish on Channel 39, and local antenna on Channel 39.

75% of Americans are Living Paycheck to Paycheck. What are YOU Doing About It?

May 1, 2019May 1, 2019tonybradshaw

Did you know that roughly 75% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck? Reality check. That means that 3 out of 4 people you know and meet today are living paycheck to paycheck. It doesn’t matter how much money they make, the problem is the same, and in most cases, it comes back to how people manage their finances. They don’t.

It’s sad, but we go to school for 13 years from K through 12. Then many of us enter college for 2, 4 or more years of additional education. We study English, Science, Math and more. Somehow, we missed and are still missing one of the most important subjects, money.

If you want to be smart about money, you have to study. There’s no way around it. I went to school to be an engineer. Let’s clarify that. Mechanical Engineer. I learned about cars as a teenager and I read books about cars. I went to college for engineering and I learned math. A lot of it. In all, 17 years of math to be proficient as an engineer.

Revisit me at age 25 when I realized I was broke. 25. No money knowledge. No money studies. Just broke. Pure and simple. I made great money, and had nothing but $16,000 in debt and a few trinkets. The good news is, I made a change. I got money smart, and you can too along with the people you know and meet.

Meet Elena Perez

I’ve been blessed by all the stories coming from people who have read my book. Long time friends changing what they’re doing with their money to couples married for 35 years finally getting on the same page with money. It’s so exciting! This week, something new came up that I want to share.

Meet my friend Elena Perez, Financial and Insurance advisor for World Financial Group. I met Elena at a local networking group at Brentwood Baptist’s Connections Cafe several weeks ago. She’s a powerhouse. We chatted and she picked up a copy of The Millionaire Choice.

A few weeks later, we bumped into each other at a different networking group where Elena told me how she gave a copy my book to her friend who was in dire financial straits. After reading The Millionaire Choice, her friend had a plan and hope.

Last week, I discovered Elena had been buying copies of TMC (The Millionaire Choice) off Amazon and giving them away to people she meets. 7 copies so far. Wow! So exciting, but that’s a lot of money to pay for my books!

Yesterday Elena and I met up at Panera Bread where she picked up her first case of The Millionaire Choice (30 copies), at a really steep discount. 🙂

I love that Elena understands that 75% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. She cares. 90% of the potential customers she meets, aren’t ready for investing, but she’s doing everything she can to help the people and families where they are.

No one person can change America or the world, but together, I believe we can. Thanks Elena!

What You Can Do

I believe financial poverty starts to disappear when we’re all financially educated.

I grew up in a low income family. Our power was cut off. Our water was cut off. I was educated. I was an engineer working on million dollar projects, but I was broke. I followed in my family’s financial footsteps. That all changed when I became “financially educated”, and the crazy thing is, it only took me 90 days to figure out that I could become a millionaire. 25 years old. Broke, but realized I could become a millionaire if I did the right things with my life and my money.

I learned a lot of math in school. Once I started learning about money, I realized something. Money is really just a math problem. It’s predictable and if you do the right things with it, you can solve the money problem.

I don’t know your friends or family members. I don’t know the people you work with or the people you’ll meet today. I can’t impact their lives, but you can. Just like Elena. I want to make it as simple as possible for anyone to have a positive impact in someone’s financial life. Grab my free ebook Creating Millionaire Families or give someone a book. I don’t care if its my book or someone elses. Just make sure its a good one they can understand.

Take a little time. Make a little effort, and watch the impact you’ll have in someone’s life. I guarantee you’ll like the results.

Amazon.com Best Seller Today?

It’s been five months since The Millionaire Choice launched. The book, the story and the brand continue to pickup steam, and we’re still just getting started. Over the last two months, The Millionaire Choice has been featured on several podcasts and radio shows with the most recent being Market Wrap with Moe Ansari.

Will The Millionaire Choice become an Amazon.com Best Seller today? Truthfully, I don’t know and I don’t care. As much as I enjoyed writing The Millionaire Choice, it is just a tool. I like to think it’s a pretty good one for the purpose it’s been designed, helping people figure out money and building a millionaire plan.

I grew up in a low income home in a low income neighborhood. I know what it means to struggle with money. It sucks. Statistics show us 78% of people are living paycheck to paycheck. I want to make a difference on that number and many other financial statistics. I want to make an impact, but I need help to do it.

I know one person can’t change the world. The reality is, one person can only do so much, but together we just may be able to turn the tide and create a different future. A future where everyone is financially educated and has their own millionaire plan. If we’re going to change the world, it takes a tribe. A tribe to reach people and help them make their millionaire choice. Will you be part of the tribe?

Today is the day you can start helping to make a difference in the financial landscape of America. Pickup a copy today for yourself, a friend or family member. With 78% of people living paycheck to paycheck, I’m sure someone you know could use it!

The Millionaire Choice Update

January 16, 2019January 16, 2019tonybradshaw

Its been an fun couple of weeks. Last week we tried out some ads on Salem Radio Networks, placed an ad in The Nashville Scene and ran an ad in their email newsletter. I’ve included the ads here, so let me know what you think about them. We may run them again soon.

As we’re spinning up publicity on The Millionaire Choice, I’m having a lot of fun talking to people about money, my story and the book. Its obvious how much people need and want financial education to help them build a better financial future for themselves and their families. I’ve been blessed by how excited people are to listen.

Hopefully together we can all make a dent in this huge problem of money struggles. It doesn’t matter if you are in poverty, middle class, or upper income people at all level struggle with money. On the flip side, it doesn’t matter where you are, everyone has the choice to become a millionaire. And why do you build wealth? To enjoy life and help others in need. So why not make the choice? Make your choice to become a millionaire. Get your copy of The Millionaire Choice today.

It’s Book Launch Day for The Millionaire Choice!

November 13, 2018November 13, 2018tonybradshaw

After working on The Millionaire Choice for over a year, it’s finally here! I’m so excited! The Millionaire Choice launches in bookstores today!

Although the book is publicly releasing today, quite a few people have already been able to read advance copies, and the reviews have been good. I’m excited about the impact The Millionaire Choice is already making in people’s lives, and this is just the beginning!

Special thanks to everyone who has supported me during this journey. I couldn’t have done it without you!

Now, it is time for the real work to begin. After 20 years of studying personal finance and working in the industry, I realized something while writing The Millionaire Choice. We’re barely scratching the surface in helping people figure out their finances. If we really want to make a difference and change the statistics, it is going to take all of us working together to share the message of hope and financial knowledge.

Recently, I shared my story and vision for The Millionaire Choice on 94.1 The Fish podcast in Nashville, TN with Doug Griffin, a long time radio personality in the Nashville area. After listening to Doug on the radio for 20+ years, I thoroughly enjoyed meeting him and being on the show, but more than that, I enjoyed seeing the shine in people’s eyes as they began learning more about The Millionaire Choice and what it means to their lives.

The Millionaire Choice was written to inspire and equip people to become millionaires. No, that’s not hype. With the right knowledge, resources and choices, almost anyone in America can become a millionaire.

You learn a lot bad financial habits growing up in a family that mismanages money. Fortunately, you don’t have to repeat the same mistakes. At 25, my financial habits gave me a wake up call, and I made a choice, the choice to become a millionaire.

In The Millionaire Choice, I share my story of growing up in a financially messy home, my financial wake up call at age 25 and the life and financial principles I used to change my life and become a millionaire.

At the heart of these principles are what I call the Ten Keys of the Millionaire. It is these key principles that empowered myself and my family to break free from generations of financial mismanagement, stress and struggles.

The Millionaire Choice is a guide for making the right financial choices to become a millionaire. In The Millionaire Choice, you will learn to develop your own personal millionaire plan. Millionaire or Not. You Can Choose. Read More.

My First Book: The Millionaire Choice is Here!

August 28, 2018August 28, 2018tonybradshaw

The First Copies Have Arrived!

It’s hard to believe that after a little over a year of hard work the first copies of my new book have arrived! It seems very surreal. At times, I wondered if this day would ever come. Sometimes, writing a book feels like a never-ending journey.

I was a bit intimidated when I started writing in late May 2017. Would I actually be able to write a book? How do you go about writing a book? How do you publish a book? Would it turn out well? And the most intimidating question, would people even like it?

Now that I have the book in my hands and readers are starting to give me feedback, I’m pleased that all my questions have now been answered, and I like the results so far!

Why Did I Write on This Topic?

I first took an interest in personal finance in 1996, my own personal finance. I had blown through a $39,000 income and racked up $16,000 in car and credit card debt after my first full year as a manufacturing engineer. As a math guy, those numbers didn’t add up for me, and my quest to improve my finances began.

Now, 23 years later and after working in the personal finance education industry for sixteen years, I noticed a few things. For starters, people all over our country still don’t know how to handle money correctly. Even with all the David Bachs, Tony Robbins, Dave Ramseys, Suze Ormans, and T Harv Ekers out there, people are still slipping through without a solid financial education. And it’s not just poor people. It’s everyone. People with six-figure incomes. People in poverty. People in all walks of life.

Another thing I noticed is that many people just don’t do math or finance well. Seriously, that may seem like a no-brainer but listen for a minute. Most of the money books out there are filled with “financial terms,” “financial ratios” and “financial calculations.” Financial terms, ratios, and calculations are intimidating to many people. It’s like learning to read a foreign language. It’s hard. I’ve seen this first hand when working with family members who have trouble calculating tips at restaurants. Even simple financial math can be hard. Although I didn’t set out to write my book and exclude financial jargon and formulas, it turned out that way, and I’m glad it did. One of the biggest comments I’ve gotten from my readers so far is, “I get it!”

I did set out to do a few things with this book. One, I wanted to equip people to become millionaires just like I have. Today, about 10% of American households are millionaire households. I believe that number should be much higher. I believe almost anyone can become a millionaire if they make the right choices. Two, I wanted to make it as simple as possible for people to understand how they can become millionaires. This turned into the 10 Keys of the Millionaire. And three, I wanted people to realize that becoming a millionaire is not just about money. It includes things like character, how you manage your time, learning and finding mentors. So many of the financial books today focus only on the money aspect of building wealth. Building wealth is about more than just financial formulas and investments.

So, why did I write a book on this topic? I guess it comes down to three main things: 1) people need a financial education delivered in a way they can understand it and act on it, 2) my career and life experience have been in personal finance, and 3) I felt led to do it.

I hope you’ll check out my new book, The Millionaire Choice at www.themillionairechoice.com. Due for release November 2018, available now for pre-order at Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, and Books A Million.
