The 30-Minute Hour with America’s Chief Results Officer, Blaine Oelkers

Excerpt from podcast: So, today we want to do something a little bit different, but we do want to solve a problem. And so today, what we want to do is to solve what actually is. As America's chief results officer, the number one problem that people have is they never have enough time. Typically, they're overwhelmed. And right now, unfortunately, the world has gotten more distracting than ever before with the technology and the phones and just so much stuff, it is so hard to get stuff done and you never have enough time. Everyone says my plate is always full. So today we're going to talk about how to get more time. And specifically, we're going to talk about something called the 30-minute hour. So, it sounds a little weird, but it's how to get an hour's worth of stuff done in just 30 minutes. So, I think that's a big problem that that most people have.    Catalina [00:03:44] And we are ready for it. I know Mike has brought his consultations down quite considerably, and so it's kind of like that feeling right? Blaine [00:04:05] Yes, so the thing is that we are looking to compress time, right? 60 minutes down to 30 minutes. The good news is that you know how to do it. You've already done it and you're pretty good at it. So, there is nothing new to learn. And so, this is going to be exciting. But before we reveal the 30-minute hour, what I want to do is just first ask you guys, what would you do? Let's talk about the reward side of this. Let's say that we're going to show you and we will. We're going to show you how to have these 30-minute hours. So, let's say you string together three- or four of these 30-minute hours and now you have an extra two hours. You have an extra two to three hours of time that you can do whatever you want. Guilt free, you know, and because you did the 30-minute hours, it's extra time. So now some people fill it with more work. I'm saying we're not going to fill it with more work. What would we do? So, for me, you know, I'm here in my home office, although it looks pretty cool like the beach. I've got my Peloton bike over there, so I might do like a long Peloton bike ride. I might actually take a nap. You know, I like napping during the day when I could find the time I might go for a walk with my, my wife, Beth. Catch up on some reading, you know that I'd like to do and probably maybe even get out for a hike or something, you know? So those are some of the things I would do with that extra guilt free, you know, two or three hours. So how about you? Two What would you do with that with that extra time? ...Listen to the episode to learn more....  And see our first episode with America’s Chief Results Officer, Blaine Oelkers, titled “Game Changing Habit in 21 Seconds_The Solution Point with Blaine Oelkers" on YouTube, here: https://youtu.be/B-CzAI9m-1w

Breaking Down Barriers of Credit Score Repair_The Solution Point with Karina Lucid of Lucid Law

In this episode, we hear from bankruptcy attorney Karina Lucid of Lucid Law (https://www.karinalucidlaw.com). We talk about the importance of your credit score and the perceived stigma around filing bankruptcy and how not taking action can tank your credit score completely. We find out about one of the biggest barriers to repairing your credit score and the (not-so) secret formula to fixing it for good. Karina also shares with us the one thing people miss frequently when they are trying to repair their credit score. As well as what she strongly urges her clients not to do when cleaning up their credit score. Below is an short excerpt of our conversation. Catalina [00:09:01] And if I could add to that, the word I was also thinking was stigma. But it's also makes me think about our value system, you know, and it's not so much about valuing all of the person that has more money. But really, if you think about it, it's about how we value who has more control of the money because it's one thing to have the money. But if you're in bankruptcy, you know, you have it in some way, but you just don't control it because things are just out of have spun out of control, right? Karina [00:09:32] Mm hmm. And actually, you know, that's a great point because when you think of bankruptcy, I think most people, they think of a Chapter 7, which is a complete liquidation of all of your debt. And although Chapter 13 is very popular and very commonly used, people don't usually think of bankruptcy that way. And that's another thing. The propaganda, you know, sort of is out there saying, Oh, well, it's a get out of jail free card and there, you know, kind of getting off without paying their debt. And you know, you have this huge population of people that are in repayment plans through bankruptcy. And that's what Chapter 13 does. Just like Chapter 11 does for corporations, All right, you know, people with very high levels of income and liabilities. Chapter 13 is what we call a “wage-earners” bankruptcy. You know, it's a person who has a decent wage, but just has gotten to the point where they have more debt than they can handle on the terms that are required under those agreements. You don't plan to default on your credit cards and you kind of use them oftentimes as revolving credit, right? But then before you know it, that twenty nine percent interest is all you're paying when you're doing your minimum monthly payment. And you know, people don't go into the relationship with the credit card company anticipating that situation. The Chapter 13 gives them the breathing space. It stops interest and they just make payments on the credit card so over time they just pay it off and they get there in three to five years. That's not an unrespectable thing to do.... ....Be sure to check out the episode and like and subscribe to our channel for more content. See you at The Solution Point!
