We Believe in Capitalism
Our Firm’s First Value
The fourth value we want to share with you this month is Capitalism! We believe in the power of free markets, individual freedom, and private ownership to drive innovation and create prosperity for all. Join us as we explore what capitalism means and how it can transform your life. To start, we have to understand that capitalism is an economic system rooted in the principles of individual freedom and private ownership of the means of production. It allows individuals to create and own their own businesses, resulting in competition and choice in the economy that drives innovation and price benefits. This competition is played out in the free market as people seek to generate wealth through investment opportunities. Our team is fighting for free markets and capitalism. We provide a platform for meaningful conversations that can help you attain peace of mind, freedom, fulfillment, and love around your money. Every member of our team has undergone a similar journey, and it continues to transform the way we perceive our relationship with money and life. It has given us the privilege to shape a world that aligns with our vision. Capitalism is a system that rewards those who create something that people value. It’s not about following the rules or coloring inside the lines. It’s about seeing things differently and pushing for change. Entrepreneurs are the ones who drive this change and make the world a better place. They have the freedom to solve a bigger problem. That’s why our firm is offering the American Dream Experience, a free two-day event to help you discover your True Purpose for Money. We believe that everyone deserves a shot at the American Dream, and we’re here to help you achieve it. One of the core features of capitalism is the free market, which allows companies to set prices based on what consumers are willing to pay. This pricing system promotes economic efficiency and ensures that resources are allocated in the most effective way possible. Additionally, the free market fosters competition and innovation, leading to greater wealth creation and a more dynamic economy.
and organizations to reach their full potential. Take Apple as an example. In the United States alone, over 130 million people use an iPhone to communicate with loved ones, work from anywhere, and enjoy online content. Apple is a great example of capitalism and what competition can produce. Steve Jobs and his team pushed the bounds of what a computer could do. They advanced computing technology, creating intuitive and iconic devices synonymous with status along the way. The right to property is also a crucial component of capitalism. Under this economic structure, individuals have the right to own, use, and sell their possessions without fear that the government or other organizations will interfere and take away their hard-earned property. For many, this creates a stable foundation for individuals to accumulate wealth, which can be used as capital to start businesses or make investments. We stand firmly in support of small businesses and the bright minds who are striving to create a brighter future for themselves and the world around them. James Truslow Adams said it best when he said this about the American Dream, “It is not a dream of motor cars and high wages merely, but a dream of a social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to attain to the fullest stature of which they are innately capable, and be recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position.”
We invite you to join us in taking a stand for free markets and the freedom to create a better world.
Capitalism has been a driving force behind many of the world’s most innovative companies, products, and services, allowing individuals

What’s Your Purpose for Money? Can We Help You Find It?
Money. A word that drives us, scares us, and can make us forget about the things that matter most to us.
Even though scarcity and stress may be our default relationship to money, it does not have to remain that way. With the right coaching, you have the power to transform how it shows up for you. We know that finances are a struggle for many. We are also aware of the ways that inequity and lack of education make holistic wealth creation a nearly insurmountable task. As a team, we are committed to seeing families set free from the burden of scarcity and generate new wealth for you and your loved ones. If you haven’t begun the process of evaluating and deconstructing the default worldview around money, let me encourage you to take the first step. Our team is proud to create space to have these conversations with you and aid you on your journey to finding freedom, fulfillment, and love in your life around money and purpose. Contact us today and get connected with the education and resources that will be the first step to transformation.
For many, money is a constant worry as we struggle to get more and fight off perceived competition for our share. The truth is that when the money we have serves no clear purpose, we live our lives in service to it. We live in a society that openly peddles the lie that your happiness is directly tied to the dollar number in your bank account. Not only is this untrue, but it is also harmful beyond belief, as it distorts our understanding of what is most important in our life. Money is not the defining factor about you or your legacy, but it is a powerful resource that can shape your quality of life. It can better your family and community by giving access to life-saving resources (like shelter, clothing, and food) and rewarding experiences (education, vacation, and entertainment).

TAKE A BREAK
FIND MORE ‘YOU’ TIME Developing a Self-Care Routine
Life isn’t easy — when juggling a career, family, children, social obligations, and housework, finding time for yourself can be difficult. Studies show that roughly 59% of individuals only make time for self-care after they’ve become stressed out. Here are some ways to develop a healthy routine that suits your busy life. Become intentional. When developing a self-care ritual, it’s essential to identify your reasons behind taking better care of yourself and to pinpoint your needs. With a clear vision and motive behind your efforts, developing healthy habits to nurture and incorporate into your everyday routine becomes easier. Create large and small self-care options. You don’t need to do the same self-care ritual all the time, but make it a point to do something for yourself every day. On busier days, you may only have a moment to take a few deep breaths and mentally reset, but on other days, you may have time for a relaxing bath, massage, workout, or pedicure. Make time for hobbies. Most people find themselves constantly juggling countless tasks and obligations. With so much to do, making time for your least favorite activities likely won’t happen; instead, do something you enjoy. After all, self- care is about you! Yoga, reading, journaling, jogging, and meditating are just a few ways to get in some “you time.” If you like it, do it! Plan your self-care time. Without adding self-care to your schedule, your healthy behaviors may get placed on the back burner. Block off time for your favorite activities: Once it’s on your calendar, you’re more likely to work a routine into your day. Keep it simple. Complex rituals may create more stress or anxiety when you should be relaxing. Instead, keep it simple by focusing on relaxing, breathing, and recharging. Go for a walk in the park, take a nap, get a massage, stretch, or take a few moments to do absolutely nothing. Simplicity is the key.

Illinois’ Sip and Spit Law
Sip … But You Must Spit Check Out This Strange Illinois Law!
By law, in the United States, the minimum legal drinking age is 21 years old. When an individual under 21 breaks the law and consumes alcohol, they are subject to arrest and hefty fines. However, there’s a loophole in Illinois. In 2012, the Illinois State Senate voted 48–6 in favor of passing a “sip and spit” law for Illinois culinary students over 18 but under the legal drinking age of 21. This strange law enabled these students to know their wine well without becoming intoxicated. The students can only sample the wines during their scheduled class times, and an adult that is 21 or older must supervise. Each sample of wine must be less than a shot’s worth in volume, and most importantly, they cannot swallow — they must just taste the wine, then spit it out. Culinary students nationwide rely on nonalcoholic wines to learn about the taste, color, and smell of wines and how to best pair them with their dishes, but
unfortunately, virgin wines taste nothing like actual wines! This leaves a gap in many culinary students’ education and may even force them to relearn the skill once they turn 21 and sample alcoholic wines. According to CBS News, Emily Williams Knight, the president of Kendall College, a private Illinois university that focuses on culinary arts, says “taste training” is an integral part of culinary education for young students, which includes learning
to pair dishes and meals with adult beverages. Understanding the different tastes and notes of various wines is essential to help these students succeed and prepare them for culinary arts and hospitality management careers. On Aug. 24, 2012, Governor Pat Quinn signed Senate Bill 758 into law so Kendall College students over 18 but younger than 21 could better develop their wine-tasting skills to enhance their culinary abilities. However, the rule is clear: Sip … but you must spit!
