day 3 recap
this was strategy day. we focused on investment strategies (covered calls, short selling and stock screens), tax strategy and a talk on global markets and curreny trading.
having a finance background, the investment portion was a bit boring, but the other two sections were absolutely great. The speaker for the tax session used to be the trainer for the IRS audit lawyers! this guy knows everything there is to slash taxes legally. the avererage American overpays taxes by about $5k. I hope to save double that using his strategies next year.
the global investing talk also opened my eyes to what is really happening to my money, which is denominated in US currency. Did you know the dollar has devalued against the Euro by 44 percent over the past two years? US dollar purchasing power is dropping and we need to protect ourselves. I’ll talk more about these topics in later posts.
of course, day 3 also had plenty of ra-ra-ra Tony Robbins motivational talks and some team activites. perhaps the most powerful session was a video we watched on the big screen of Tony telling a story to his Mastery University students many years ago. The story (about 30 minutes long) was absolutely captivating and focused on the importance of pushing through fear and not being paralyzed by it.
day three was long…starting at 8am and going until 10:30pm. I got home at 1am. day4 will be even more intense.
