Join me at The Potter's House - Dallas on October 9, 2014

I will be joining the Chosen and Committed Marriage Ministry monthly meeting on Thursday October 9, 2014 at 7:00 PM at The Potter's House in the Dallas Chapel.  

Money is a such a vital part of all of our relationships.  Having harmony in financial views, plans and individual choices are key to a healthy marriage.  In order to prosper financially as outlined in the bible, it is important to operate in your current financial season as you prepare for the next season of financial promotion.  In other words be in season financially!! 

In this meeting I will be sharing biblical financial wisdom, tactics and strategies for identifying and embracing your current financial season along with practical steps for preparing for financial promotion and elevation.     

The marriage ministry at The Potter's House - Dallas is lead by Elder Roger and Lady Yolanda Haley.  They have a commitment to help couples thrive in their marriage by providing empowering educational tools to nourish and cherish each other in a healthy marriage relationship. This ministry will not only play a pivotal role in building successful marriages, but it will also impact children, families, the church, the community and ultimately, the world.   The Potter's House ministry is lead by Bishop T.D. Jakes and First Lady Serita Jakes.

This meeting is free and open to the public.    Elder Roger and Lady Yolanda Haley notes that even though this is a marriage ministry meeting, individuals that are in the premarital stage, single or divorced are also invited to attend.  Come one, come all!!

The Potter's house is located at 6777 West Kiest Blvd  Dallas, TX  75236.  This event will be held in the Chapel.

It is an honor to be invited to be a part of this vibrant ministry group.  I'm looking forward to it!

Join me!  Looking forward to seeing you there!

Improve your finances in the next 90 days!

From my own experiences of teaching and leading personal financial management sessions and working with individuals on money matters, I’ve found the following four items to be true: 

• Managing your personal spending for 30 consecutive days will motivate you to continue the practice and empower you to begin other aggressive actions to take control of your personal financial life.

• Your FICO credit score can be improved after only 90 days of a purposefully directed credit repair financial action plan.

• All debt can be paid off in 24 months with aggressive debt reduction lifestyle changes.

• A 1 hour introduction to investing techniques and strategies will serve as motivation to you to reduce your living expenses and increase savings.

Got 90 days to invest in improving your finances?  Here's your to-do list!!

1.  Create a spending plan and stick to it for 30 days.

A spending plan is just that - a plan for how you will spend every penny that is entrusted to you for the next 30 days. The plan should be created before the month begins and should be your accountability for all financial income and expenditures.  

Got a commercial budgeting software package?  Got a spreadsheet?  Got a Big Chief tablet and a Fat #2 pencil?  How you do this isn't important.  Use what you got and get your spending plan started! 

If you'd like a free set of Excel worksheets that I've created for this purpose let me know via email and I'll get it to you.

2.  Pay your bills on time and reduce your debt load.

The two most prevalent factors that influence your FICO credit score are your payment history and the amount of debt that you owe.  If you have a habit of paying your bills late, make the adjustments that are needed to pay those that report to the credit bureaus on time.  Pay more than minimums to lower the amount of debt that you owe at a faster pace.  No matter what your FICO credit score is, you will see it increase after 90 days by addressing these heavily weighted areas.  Making payments on time right now or don't have any debts right now?  You're doing great and your FICO score is most likely reflecting this.  Move on to the next step.

3.  Do some investing in your investment knowledge

Find a low-cost / no-cost class or seminar to introduce or reintroduce you to long-term investment strategies. It is encouraging to learn about a place of financial improvement that you could reach.  Take this information and let it be your motivation to prepare you for this advanced financial management path.  I've found that as I teach stock market basics groups, individuals that are not financially prepared to invest begin making plans to get there by paying down debt and earmarking funds to begin actively investing.  Sit in an investing session and see if this is the case for you also!

Planning to implement one or more of these items in the next 90 days?  Let me know and keep me posted on your progress!

Join me at the 4 "T's" Relationship Summit!!

I'm honored to serve as a guest speaker at The 4 T's Relationship Summit that is sponsored by Healing Thine Hearts Ministry.  The Summit will be held Saturday July 26, 2014 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Richardson Texas.

As the name implies, the focus of the summit is relationships.  Whether you are dating, married, dealing with your children or your boss - every successful relationship is built on 4 specific pillars.  These 4 pillars are Time, Talk, Truth and Trust.  By attending this conference and hearing from the 5 guest speakers you will learn the preventative measures of avoiding continuous failed relationships by taking the step-by-step approach to relationship success.




I'm excited to share insight on our personal financial "seasons".  I'll share wisdom on understanding and our personal financial times as well as maintaining healthy relationships despite the differences in the financial timing of those individuals that are the center of our most prominent relationships.  As money is always a strong topic of discussion in our marriages, single friendships and in relationships with our children and employers, this insight and steps for practical application can prove to be beneficial to everyone.

As is customary, I will bring the topic of finances to the discussions.  Think about your key relationships right now… how many of them have finances as a significant component?  If you're honest you will note all of them!  If the relationships are with your children, spouse, best friend or relative,  the concept of money or lack of money plays a role at some point in time in all of our significant relationships.  Understanding the money / relationship elements and getting tools to assist you in maintaining successful connections in good and not so good financial times will prove to be beneficial today and in years to come!

Thanks for your support.  See you there!

Money Reverse - The bible instructions on handling money

Wonder why this blog is named Money-Reverse?  Good question.  Let me explain...

I am convinced that our guiding principles for handling money and possessions are already established in God's word.  Some general categories of these guiding principles are as follows:

1. The Lord wants us to prosper
2. Recognizing God as the true owner of everything
3. Managing what is personally entrusted to us
4. Working to earn a living
5. Taking care of family
6. Avoiding debt
7. Giving to the building of God's kingdom
8. Giving to the poor
9. Being a generous giver
10. Paying what we owe...on time
11. Saving and investing
12. Preparing for your demise
13. Leaving a legacy

Scriptures support basic instructions on these topics.  These instructions are as valid for us today as they were for the early followers of Christ. 

I'd like to encourage all readers to join me in examining the bible verses that support these instructions.  I promise you that there have been no new verses inserted or appended to God's word to guide us in these days that could prove to be financially challenging.  The prefix re means "again" when you pair it with the root word that immediately follows.  Because it is likely that you've studied these scriptures before, I'd like for us to re-read these verses and look at them as if you're seeking God's instructions on managing money and possessions.  Let's call this a re-verse exercise with the goal of reversing all non-biblical, unfavorable individual and global financial conditions.

Are you in?  Let me know and stay tuned! 

World financial instability - What do we do?

Click here to listen to this blogpost...


Yesterday and today will prove to be eventful in our worldwide financial markets - and not in a good way.  CNBC had a special program on TV entitled "Markets in Turmoil".  At the close of yesterday's US stock market, the Dow was down 635 points, closing at 10,810, Nasdaq down 6.9% to close at 2,358 and the S&P down 80 points ending the day at 1,119.   Sentiments continued in the European and Middle Eastern markets.  Expecting more of the same with today's market opening at 8:30 central time.

I'm one that loves God and have committed to follow principles in the Holy Bible in the managing 100% of financial resources and assets that are in my possession.  I'm not perfect by a long shot and I haven't always done everything as I should have.  I'm not educated in the area of finances outside of what I've been taught through His word and the Holy Spirit.  I can profess that knowing what God's word says on finances, petitioning Him for wisdom in this area and embracing multiple prophetic visions on this subject over the years contributes to my ability to rest in Him during these unstable times and prepare to position and prosper in this season.

Check this blog and I will share some of the biblical financial principles that I follow.  If you don't know what you should do in these financial times, my prayer is that from the info you read here, you will begin to develop a personal financial management plan that works for you today, tomorrow and beyond!

You'll also learn more about me along the way...
