#174: How’s your 2020? We saw a lot of challenges in the year that was, but there were also great opportunities for those who are willing to act. Yearends are usually a time for reflection and looking back on the things we learned. Today, our hosts will share their Passive Income Report as they have been doing in the previous months. This practice has been part of Russ’s vision board. It’s always good to look at what’s been working and what’s not, and coming up with strategies to do better in 2021.
Aside from their different business ventures, Russ and Joey are also firm believers that the best use of money is investing in yourself. Check out what they’ve been listening to and reading about in the resources section.
