1
00:00:02,890 --> 00:00:03,400
Suze: We

2
00:00:30,770 --> 00:00:35,919
Suze: January 26, 2025. Welcome everybody to the Women and Money podcast,

3
00:00:36,168 --> 00:00:40,330
Suze: as well as everybody smart enough to listen. So, I know,

4
00:00:40,450 --> 00:00:42,529
Suze: I know, today is supposed to be Suze School.

5
00:00:42,529 --> 00:00:44,279
KT: No, it isn't.

6
00:00:46,380 --> 00:00:47,919
KT: Guess who's in the studio.

7
00:00:48,290 --> 00:00:50,020
Suze: Tell them what happened this morning.

8
00:00:50,020 --> 00:00:51,060
KT: Guess who's in the studio.

9
00:00:51,060 --> 00:00:51,208
Suze: Tell them why your'e in the studio.

10
00:00:52,418 --> 00:00:55,860
KT: So I woke up with a great idea, everybody, and

11
00:00:55,860 --> 00:01:00,459
KT: I said, Suze, please, please, I wanna do Sunday's podcast

12
00:01:00,459 --> 00:01:03,340
KT: with you. Why KT? And I said, because it's still

13
00:01:03,340 --> 00:01:05,660
KT: the beginning of the year. We're at the end of

14
00:01:05,660 --> 00:01:07,610
KT: January and I have an idea.

15
00:01:08,010 --> 00:01:09,839
KT: And I think everyone will love this.

16
00:01:09,879 --> 00:01:12,760
Suze: Now here's the problem, everybody. I don't have a clue

17
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,768
Suze: what her idea is. So all of you..

18
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:16,779
KT: Wanna hear the title?

19
00:01:17,809 --> 00:01:18,370
Suze: Yeah.

20
00:01:20,330 --> 00:01:24,550
KT: OK, it's called The 6 Secrets to Suze's Success.

21
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:25,629
Suze: What?

22
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:26,238
KT: Yeah.

23
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,550
KT: It's the 6 secrets to Suze's success. So wait, let,

24
00:01:30,750 --> 00:01:32,628
KT: let me tell everybody what that is.

25
00:01:33,589 --> 00:01:38,139
KT: For years, for almost 25 years, maybe not all of these,

26
00:01:38,230 --> 00:01:43,110
KT: but most of them, I've been hearing Suze impart incredible

27
00:01:43,110 --> 00:01:48,980
KT: Suzeisms and quotes and great information whether she's talking, being interviewed,

28
00:01:49,190 --> 00:01:51,190
KT: or just meeting someone that needs help.

29
00:01:51,309 --> 00:01:52,510
Suze: Or I'm talking to myself.

30
00:01:52,614 --> 00:01:55,525
KT: Or she just talks to herself. Anyway, I've been collecting

31
00:01:55,525 --> 00:01:58,474
KT: these and, and, and one day when I have enough,

32
00:01:58,525 --> 00:02:00,915
KT: I want to do something special with them, but right

33
00:02:00,915 --> 00:02:06,004
KT: now I'm gonna share 6 of these Suzeisms. They're quotes,

34
00:02:06,125 --> 00:02:09,445
KT: they're things that she lives by and, and because she

35
00:02:09,445 --> 00:02:11,725
KT: lives by them, we all should live by them.

36
00:02:12,038 --> 00:02:16,330
KT: And I especially live by number 6. So what I'm

37
00:02:16,330 --> 00:02:19,250
KT: gonna do is I want to read what I've jotted

38
00:02:19,250 --> 00:02:22,800
KT: down of what I remember and what she pretty much says.

39
00:02:23,050 --> 00:02:24,008
Suze: You sure you have them right?

40
00:02:24,460 --> 00:02:27,240
KT: I, they're pretty much right, but, but yeah, they're right

41
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:27,429
KT: because

42
00:02:27,429 --> 00:02:29,320
Suze: And if they're not, is it OK if I correct that?

43
00:02:29,399 --> 00:02:32,419
KT: Suze's gonna tell you what they mean. She's gonna explain.

44
00:02:32,479 --> 00:02:36,079
KT: I'm just gonna read the six secrets.

45
00:02:36,279 --> 00:02:36,440
Suze: Did

46
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,559
Suze: you ask me if this is what I want to do?

47
00:02:39,399 --> 00:02:41,360
KT: This is what we're doing. Do you want to do

48
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:41,759
KT: it?

49
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,320
Suze: Do I have a choice? Here we are.

50
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:44,448
KT: Do you want to?

51
00:02:45,119 --> 00:02:47,080
Suze: I always want to do what you want me to do.

52
00:02:47,619 --> 00:02:51,258
KT: No, you want to do what everyone needs to

53
00:02:51,258 --> 00:02:51,728
KT: hear from us.

54
00:02:51,729 --> 00:02:55,020
Suze: And I know you know that for everybody. So if

55
00:02:55,020 --> 00:02:56,020
Suze: you feel that really strongly...

56
00:02:56,309 --> 00:02:57,538
KT: I really love this

57
00:02:57,538 --> 00:03:00,100
Suze: ...that you want to be on the podcast on Sunday when usually...

58
00:03:00,139 --> 00:03:03,699
KT: Sunday is Sunday school. So this is Sunday school we're imparting...

59
00:03:04,585 --> 00:03:06,005
Suze: We're going to KT church. We're going

60
00:03:06,005 --> 00:03:06,695
Suze: to church.

61
00:03:06,985 --> 00:03:10,663
KT: No, it's not church, it's school. It's Sunday school. We're

62
00:03:10,663 --> 00:03:14,904
KT: always you and I, we have a, a streamline direct

63
00:03:14,904 --> 00:03:16,945
KT: line to God every day. We don't need

64
00:03:16,945 --> 00:03:18,345
KT: church. We need school.

65
00:03:18,425 --> 00:03:20,603
Suze: Can I just tell everybody what I do say.

66
00:03:21,279 --> 00:03:25,800
Suze: Right, and people always say something to me like this, Suze, right,

67
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,330
Suze: from your lips to God's ears. You know how everybody

68
00:03:29,330 --> 00:03:31,160
Suze: always says that to me? And what do I say

69
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:35,399
Suze: to them? Oh yeah, trust me, right? He hears every

70
00:03:35,399 --> 00:03:39,440
Suze: word I say, every thought that I think, every action

71
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,669
Suze: that I do. Everybody, I think it's important that you

72
00:03:42,669 --> 00:03:44,869
Suze: do take out your Suze notebooks.

73
00:03:45,559 --> 00:03:48,330
Suze: And I think you should write these down because I

74
00:03:48,330 --> 00:03:51,889
Suze: can tell by the look on KT's face that these

75
00:03:51,889 --> 00:03:56,360
Suze: are serious quotes. These are life transforming.

76
00:03:56,929 --> 00:04:00,690
KT: Well, they're they're mostly what you really believe in and

77
00:04:00,690 --> 00:04:04,100
KT: live by, OK. And then to make it easy for

78
00:04:04,100 --> 00:04:07,449
KT: everyone at the end of this podcast and once it's released.

79
00:04:07,839 --> 00:04:10,369
KT: I'm gonna make sure that we put this on the

80
00:04:10,369 --> 00:04:11,610
KT: Women and Money wall.

81
00:04:12,300 --> 00:04:14,419
Suze: So for those of you who don't know, there is

82
00:04:14,419 --> 00:04:17,820
Suze: a Woman and Money community app. You can download it

83
00:04:17,820 --> 00:04:21,739
Suze: at Apple Apps or Google Play. It's absolutely free, and

84
00:04:21,738 --> 00:04:24,880
Suze: there's a wall there, the Suze Wall, and we have

85
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,820
Suze: interesting kind of conversations there anyway.

86
00:04:27,059 --> 00:04:30,609
KT: OK, so here you go. 6 secrets to Suze's success,

87
00:04:30,660 --> 00:04:31,339
KT: number 1.

88
00:04:31,829 --> 00:04:34,779
KT: The day you put your needs in front of others'

89
00:04:34,779 --> 00:04:38,859
KT: wants is the day you will have really started on

90
00:04:38,859 --> 00:04:41,570
KT: your road to financial freedom.

91
00:04:41,980 --> 00:04:47,019
Suze: The most important part of that saying what I say

92
00:04:47,019 --> 00:04:51,899
Suze: to myself, everybody, is the day you put your needs.

93
00:04:51,910 --> 00:04:56,579
Suze: Now listen, do you know what your needs are? Do

94
00:04:56,579 --> 00:04:59,130
Suze: you just live your life and you don't even do

95
00:04:59,130 --> 00:05:00,690
Suze: anything that you need to do?

96
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:05,209
Suze: So the first part of that saying is that you

97
00:05:05,209 --> 00:05:08,609
Suze: need to know what you need. What do you need

98
00:05:08,609 --> 00:05:11,359
Suze: to be happy? What do you need to be secure?

99
00:05:11,529 --> 00:05:14,929
Suze: What do you need to feel powerful? You have to

100
00:05:14,928 --> 00:05:17,868
Suze: know what those things are, so you are to write

101
00:05:17,869 --> 00:05:21,678
Suze: down your needs. Let me just give you a very

102
00:05:22,250 --> 00:05:26,359
Suze: slight example really of what it would be. Here you are,

103
00:05:26,570 --> 00:05:30,369
Suze: and you're building up your emergency savings account.

104
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:35,299
Suze: You're sending every month $100 into Alliant Credit Union because

105
00:05:35,299 --> 00:05:38,910
Suze: you want to take advantage of the Ultimate Opportunity savings account,

106
00:05:39,140 --> 00:05:41,540
Suze: which I know so many of you are doing and

107
00:05:41,540 --> 00:05:44,619
Suze: you want to do, but yet your kids, it was

108
00:05:44,619 --> 00:05:47,899
Suze: the holiday time or maybe it's their birthday or whatever

109
00:05:47,899 --> 00:05:52,690
Suze: it may be, they want a new pair of sneakers

110
00:05:52,690 --> 00:05:54,089
Suze: and it's $100.

111
00:05:54,959 --> 00:05:58,659
Suze: And that's the $100 that you need to send in

112
00:05:58,660 --> 00:06:01,488
Suze: every month to your savings account.

113
00:06:02,339 --> 00:06:06,100
Suze: You have to put your needs in front of others' wants,

114
00:06:06,420 --> 00:06:09,219
Suze: and if you do that, that's when you really are

115
00:06:09,220 --> 00:06:13,220
Suze: on the road to financial freedom. Next, KT, what

116
00:06:13,220 --> 00:06:13,380
Suze: else?

117
00:06:13,459 --> 00:06:16,579
KT: That's great. Number 2, I love this one.

118
00:06:17,190 --> 00:06:23,630
KT: Success alone will never ever lead you to fulfillment. Fulfillment

119
00:06:23,630 --> 00:06:28,799
KT: will always lead you to success. It's one of my favorite.

120
00:06:29,070 --> 00:06:31,779
KT: Suze really lives by this, everybody.

121
00:06:31,869 --> 00:06:35,589
Suze: You know, all of you strive for success, whatever that

122
00:06:35,589 --> 00:06:37,109
Suze: may mean to all of you.

123
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,730
Suze: But mostly success means you're making a lot of money.

124
00:06:41,140 --> 00:06:43,019
Suze: You have a big house to show others, you have

125
00:06:43,019 --> 00:06:46,619
Suze: a fancy car, you're wearing fancy clothes, and you're just

126
00:06:46,619 --> 00:06:48,299
Suze: successful that way.

127
00:06:49,170 --> 00:06:52,868
Suze: But yet you really hate your job. You really don't

128
00:06:52,869 --> 00:06:56,899
Suze: like what you're doing, but you're attached to the paycheck.

129
00:06:57,070 --> 00:07:01,179
Suze: You're attached to everything that you have around you, but

130
00:07:01,178 --> 00:07:04,070
Suze: yet inside, you're not fulfilled.

131
00:07:05,119 --> 00:07:08,849
Suze: I'm here to tell you that you're not successful.

132
00:07:10,119 --> 00:07:14,089
Suze: If that is true and you yourself are not fulfilled,

133
00:07:14,239 --> 00:07:18,559
Suze: you are not successful. When you can do something that

134
00:07:18,559 --> 00:07:27,950
Suze: truly fulfills you, it will always lead you to success financially, spiritually, emotionally,

135
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:29,989
Suze: on all levels.

136
00:07:30,549 --> 00:07:35,000
Suze: So your goal is to have inner fulfillment and it

137
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,709
Suze: will manifest with outer wealth.

138
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,359
KT: Yeah, love what you do.

139
00:07:39,359 --> 00:07:41,959
Suze: You know. KT, I just wanna give you a little

140
00:07:41,959 --> 00:07:46,000
Suze: example of that. Last night, it's very funny you picked that.

141
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,549
Suze: I got an email from one of our relatives, all right,

142
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,799
Suze: and in it he said to me, Suze,

143
00:07:54,630 --> 00:07:57,649
Suze: I know I'm making a lot of money. I know

144
00:07:57,649 --> 00:08:03,170
Suze: everything's going great that way. I just don't like my

145
00:08:03,170 --> 00:08:04,200
Suze: job anymore.

146
00:08:04,769 --> 00:08:05,600
KT: Who was that?

147
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,350
Suze: I, I'll tell you after the podcast, all right? And

148
00:08:09,350 --> 00:08:13,579
Suze: he said to me, can we talk about it because

149
00:08:13,869 --> 00:08:18,190
Suze: I'm getting sick, I'm not healthy, the financial reward doesn't

150
00:08:18,190 --> 00:08:22,420
Suze: matter anymore and I need your advice on what should

151
00:08:22,420 --> 00:08:25,480
Suze: I do and how do I do it. So that's

152
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:30,790
Suze: a perfect example of that saying so your timing is

153
00:08:30,790 --> 00:08:32,179
Suze: funny on that.

154
00:08:33,039 --> 00:08:36,318
Suze: Because he also listens to the podcast every single week

155
00:08:36,318 --> 00:08:41,489
Suze: so he knows who he is. We will talk later today, he.

156
00:08:43,799 --> 00:08:46,299
KT: I'm just thinking it's not one of my brothers.

157
00:08:46,588 --> 00:08:46,749
Suze: No, it's

158
00:08:46,749 --> 00:08:48,049
Suze: on my side of the family.

159
00:08:50,229 --> 00:08:52,468
KT: All right, yeah, because my, none of my brothers are gonna

160
00:08:52,468 --> 00:08:56,379
KT: call saying money doesn't matter anymore. All right, here you go.

161
00:08:56,789 --> 00:09:02,007
KT: So number 3, this is probably Suze's personal most favorite,

162
00:09:02,229 --> 00:09:05,068
KT: and I hear her impart this over and over and

163
00:09:05,068 --> 00:09:05,628
KT: over again.

164
00:09:05,940 --> 00:09:09,229
KT: To people that really need it, but she has said

165
00:09:09,229 --> 00:09:11,609
KT: it to herself for years.

166
00:09:11,929 --> 00:09:12,968
Suze: Oh, I'm so excited to hear this one.

167
00:09:13,969 --> 00:09:14,169
Suze: Should I guess it?

168
00:09:14,469 --> 00:09:16,690
KT: She's gonna guess it. It's her one of her, it's

169
00:09:16,690 --> 00:09:21,039
KT: her favorite animal as well. The elephant keeps walking as

170
00:09:21,039 --> 00:09:23,130
KT: the dogs keep barking.

171
00:09:23,890 --> 00:09:27,630
KT: Suze loves this, and I think it's also something that

172
00:09:27,630 --> 00:09:33,229
KT: was inspired from India. The elephant keeps walking as the

173
00:09:33,229 --> 00:09:37,830
KT: dogs keep barking. What a great saying. What does that

174
00:09:37,830 --> 00:09:38,750
KT: mean to you, Suze?

175
00:09:38,789 --> 00:09:40,390
Suze: I'm surprised you picked that one.

176
00:09:40,710 --> 00:09:41,689
KT: Is it one of your favorites?

177
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:43,489
Suze: It is. There's two, as you know.

178
00:09:43,780 --> 00:09:44,559
KT: But this one you really...

179
00:09:44,869 --> 00:09:47,369
Suze: But this one I really... love this one...

180
00:09:47,700 --> 00:09:49,260
KT: Probably because you've said it to yourself.

181
00:09:49,729 --> 00:09:52,909
Suze: And let me tell you why, everybody, I said it to myself

182
00:09:52,909 --> 00:09:53,950
Suze: so many times.

183
00:09:54,890 --> 00:09:59,468
Suze: It's interesting in life that as you're going up the

184
00:09:59,469 --> 00:10:04,098
Suze: ladder or getting more and more whatever you're doing, you're expanding,

185
00:10:04,590 --> 00:10:05,940
Suze: everybody's rooting for you.

186
00:10:06,489 --> 00:10:08,960
Suze: And I'll just give you a personal example of my

187
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,478
Suze: own life as I started out being an author and

188
00:10:12,479 --> 00:10:15,280
Suze: I started to do things and my books were out

189
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,159
Suze: there and I was making more money and getting out

190
00:10:18,159 --> 00:10:21,640
Suze: everybody was like, yeah, Suze, go for it, go for it.

191
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,559
Suze: But once you get to the very, very top, which

192
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:26,359
Suze: I did.

193
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,349
Suze: You couldn't get much higher than I got at one

194
00:10:30,349 --> 00:10:31,429
Suze: point in time.

195
00:10:32,239 --> 00:10:35,190
Suze: But once you get up there, there are people who

196
00:10:35,190 --> 00:10:37,789
Suze: are jealous and it just for some reason in my

197
00:10:37,789 --> 00:10:40,710
Suze: case and I think others then people like to tear

198
00:10:40,710 --> 00:10:47,380
Suze: you down because negative press sells more than positive press.

199
00:10:47,549 --> 00:10:52,270
Suze: It just does everybody and people started to write things

200
00:10:52,270 --> 00:10:56,349
Suze: about me like, oh "Suze the Floozy," and there was

201
00:10:56,349 --> 00:11:00,309
Suze: a magazine that came out that was filled with total

202
00:11:00,309 --> 00:11:01,869
Suze: lies about me.

203
00:11:02,390 --> 00:11:04,829
Suze: Like there was an attack on me, things would happen.

204
00:11:04,940 --> 00:11:09,739
Suze: Things just happen as you become more and more successful.

205
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:15,530
Suze: So it's really important that you know who you are,

206
00:11:15,659 --> 00:11:19,309
Suze: what you are, and how do you keep going. So

207
00:11:19,309 --> 00:11:24,260
Suze: this saying, the elephant keeps walking as the dogs keep

208
00:11:24,260 --> 00:11:29,059
Suze: barking was my visual of I was the elephant.

209
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,659
Suze: And I was just going to keep walking and going

210
00:11:32,659 --> 00:11:36,459
Suze: forward and helping people and create goodness in other people's

211
00:11:36,460 --> 00:11:40,780
Suze: lives regardless of what all the dogs, the reporters, the

212
00:11:40,780 --> 00:11:44,099
Suze: articles were saying about me at the time.

213
00:11:44,979 --> 00:11:45,700
Suze: And

214
00:11:46,659 --> 00:11:49,280
Suze: Eventually, the dogs just went away.

215
00:11:49,940 --> 00:11:54,039
Suze: And I kept walking and here I am to this

216
00:11:54,039 --> 00:11:54,390
Suze: day.

217
00:11:54,599 --> 00:11:57,119
KT: She loves that one. I like that one too. I

218
00:11:57,119 --> 00:12:00,030
KT: think it's important. And then number 4.

219
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,890
KT: And this is great also for all of you out

220
00:12:03,890 --> 00:12:08,419
KT: there that are listening to impart this what Suze believes

221
00:12:08,419 --> 00:12:10,939
KT: to your kids and, and I'll tell you why because

222
00:12:10,940 --> 00:12:15,270
KT: I love saying it. If you think you can't, you never, ever, ever,

223
00:12:15,340 --> 00:12:16,369
KT: ever will.

224
00:12:16,659 --> 00:12:16,979
Suze: Yeah.

225
00:12:17,460 --> 00:12:21,210
KT: So there you go. That's such a simple, simple thought.

226
00:12:21,419 --> 00:12:25,299
KT: If you think you can't, you never, ever, ever, ever will.

227
00:12:25,940 --> 00:12:29,859
Suze: I think what's important there to understand everybody that I

228
00:12:29,859 --> 00:12:34,219
Suze: finally got in my own life is that your words.

229
00:12:35,030 --> 00:12:38,750
Suze: Your thoughts and your actions are more powerful than you

230
00:12:38,750 --> 00:12:45,789
Suze: have any idea, especially your words. If you say you can't.

231
00:12:46,590 --> 00:12:49,500
Suze: And I find KT, that you did this because if

232
00:12:49,500 --> 00:12:51,700
Suze: you remember, I don't know if it was a Suze

233
00:12:51,700 --> 00:12:52,520
Suze: School or not.

234
00:12:52,900 --> 00:12:58,090
Suze: But I did a thing on what can't means versus, right,

235
00:12:59,539 --> 00:13:02,859
Suze: can and I did this whole thing, but this one

236
00:13:02,859 --> 00:13:07,419
Suze: actually is a condensed version of and I'm just gonna

237
00:13:07,419 --> 00:13:09,979
Suze: expand on it, KT because we have the time to

238
00:13:09,979 --> 00:13:16,700
Suze: be able to do so is your thoughts create your destiny.

239
00:13:17,409 --> 00:13:21,159
Suze: And it's so important for you to really, really get

240
00:13:21,159 --> 00:13:26,390
Suze: that there's a saying that what you think you eventually say,

241
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:32,039
Suze: what you say your words become your actions, your actions

242
00:13:32,039 --> 00:13:37,799
Suze: actually become your habits, KT, and your habits become your destiny.

243
00:13:38,539 --> 00:13:43,359
Suze: So every single thing starts with your thoughts.

244
00:13:44,130 --> 00:13:47,719
Suze: That turn into your words that turn into your actions.

245
00:13:47,919 --> 00:13:51,669
Suze: So when you say you cannot do something.

246
00:13:52,570 --> 00:13:55,289
Suze: Then the truth of the matter is you won't be

247
00:13:55,289 --> 00:13:59,770
Suze: able to do it, so you all have to understand

248
00:13:59,770 --> 00:14:02,210
Suze: the power that you have within you.

249
00:14:03,349 --> 00:14:07,039
Suze: Because your words have the power to create or the

250
00:14:07,039 --> 00:14:11,030
Suze: power to destroy, and the choice is up to you.

251
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,228
Suze: So if you look at your life right now.

252
00:14:15,479 --> 00:14:19,590
Suze: Look at what you have created. How did you create that?

253
00:14:19,789 --> 00:14:22,159
Suze: Look at the things that you've done in your life again.

254
00:14:22,309 --> 00:14:26,270
Suze: Write them down that you never ever thought you could do.

255
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,590
Suze: How did you do that? How did you get there?

256
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,950
Suze: And then look at the things that you wanted to do,

257
00:14:33,159 --> 00:14:34,520
Suze: but you never did.

258
00:14:35,580 --> 00:14:38,380
Suze: Why didn't you? Where did that

259
00:14:38,380 --> 00:14:38,849
Suze: start?

260
00:14:39,020 --> 00:14:40,940
KT: You know what that one makes me think of just

261
00:14:40,940 --> 00:14:42,330
KT: to diverse a little bit.

262
00:14:43,049 --> 00:14:45,789
KT: If you think you can't, you never, ever, ever will.

263
00:14:45,830 --> 00:14:49,700
KT: It reminds me of all the people years ago that said, Suze,

264
00:14:49,989 --> 00:14:52,119
KT: I can't get out of debt. How can I do this?

265
00:14:52,150 --> 00:14:57,580
KT: And then years later, after listening to you and following simple,

266
00:14:57,609 --> 00:15:01,630
KT: simple baby steps and instructions, we get letters of not

267
00:15:01,630 --> 00:15:04,859
KT: only how they're out of debt, but they became millionaires.

268
00:15:05,155 --> 00:15:08,344
KT: Amazing. We're gonna have to share that one day with everyone.

269
00:15:08,544 --> 00:15:11,924
KT: So I hope you like this, everybody, because I just

270
00:15:11,924 --> 00:15:13,075
KT: think they're great to live by.

271
00:15:13,075 --> 00:15:15,815
Suze: Do you care if I like doing this?

272
00:15:16,104 --> 00:15:18,635
KT: No you do. I know she does. These are hers.

273
00:15:18,864 --> 00:15:20,344
KT: She lives by all of this.

274
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,270
KT: These are Suze's like 10 Commandments, but they're 6.

275
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,719
Suze: I have like 50 out of them. How come you

276
00:15:26,719 --> 00:15:27,549
Suze: didn't do them all?

277
00:15:27,650 --> 00:15:31,289
KT: Because I just wanted 6 just to remember. Number 5,

278
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:35,400
KT: there's no shame or blame big enough to keep you

279
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,200
KT: from being who you are meant to be.

280
00:15:38,309 --> 00:15:39,000
Suze: I love that one.

281
00:15:39,099 --> 00:15:40,359
Suze: That one's really

282
00:15:40,539 --> 00:15:45,729
KT: emotional, it's personal and it's really important that everyone understands

283
00:15:45,729 --> 00:15:51,539
KT: there's never a shame or blame big enough to keep

284
00:15:51,539 --> 00:15:54,239
KT: you from being who you are meant to be.

285
00:15:54,570 --> 00:15:58,530
Suze: I love this one, KT, and the reason, everybody, I

286
00:15:58,530 --> 00:16:00,330
Suze: love this one so much.

287
00:16:01,119 --> 00:16:05,630
Suze: Is... listen, we all do things in our lives, every

288
00:16:05,630 --> 00:16:10,789
Suze: single one of us, and we have to learn to

289
00:16:10,789 --> 00:16:15,109
Suze: rise above the things that we have done that maybe

290
00:16:15,109 --> 00:16:19,150
Suze: we have shame about or we're blaming others for or

291
00:16:19,150 --> 00:16:24,030
Suze: whatever it may be. You can't let the things that

292
00:16:24,030 --> 00:16:27,469
Suze: you feel bad about. You can't let the things that

293
00:16:27,469 --> 00:16:29,150
Suze: you're angry about.

294
00:16:29,989 --> 00:16:33,260
Suze: Keep you from being who you are meant to be.

295
00:16:33,390 --> 00:16:37,190
Suze: You did something. You say you're sorry. Somebody did something

296
00:16:37,190 --> 00:16:41,549
Suze: to you, OK. You have to let it go. What

297
00:16:41,549 --> 00:16:47,349
Suze: are the three internal obstacles to wealth? Fear, shame, and anger.

298
00:16:47,390 --> 00:16:48,150
KT: That's so true.

299
00:16:48,229 --> 00:16:51,549
Suze: So you don't have money. You're getting deeper and deeper

300
00:16:51,549 --> 00:16:55,750
Suze: into credit card debt, and yet you haven't told anybody

301
00:16:55,750 --> 00:16:56,280
Suze: about it.

302
00:16:57,380 --> 00:17:01,349
Suze: The shame of your credit card debt. Do you think

303
00:17:01,679 --> 00:17:03,909
Suze: that should keep you from being who you are meant

304
00:17:03,909 --> 00:17:04,550
Suze: to be?

305
00:17:05,489 --> 00:17:08,969
Suze: Don't be ashamed of anything in your life. If you've

306
00:17:08,969 --> 00:17:12,849
Suze: done something, tell somebody about it, which is why I

307
00:17:12,849 --> 00:17:14,770
Suze: would say to all of you, if you have credit

308
00:17:14,770 --> 00:17:17,728
Suze: card debt, tell everybody you know. And as soon as

309
00:17:17,729 --> 00:17:20,819
Suze: you start telling everybody you know you have credit card debt,

310
00:17:20,849 --> 00:17:22,729
Suze: you know what they'll say back to you? Oh, I

311
00:17:22,729 --> 00:17:26,448
Suze: do too, right? And so it's.

312
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,139
Suze: If you've done things that you're ashamed of, if you

313
00:17:30,140 --> 00:17:35,500
Suze: feel ashamed, if you're blaming your past, if you're blaming

314
00:17:35,500 --> 00:17:39,020
Suze: that somebody has done something to you, you're not a

315
00:17:39,020 --> 00:17:42,530
Suze: victim to your circumstances, you're a victor. You are a

316
00:17:42,530 --> 00:17:47,380
Suze: creator of everything, so take that, turn it around and

317
00:17:47,380 --> 00:17:52,770
Suze: create the future. Create the person you really want to be.

318
00:17:53,099 --> 00:17:57,319
Suze: You can do that, but not if you dwell in

319
00:17:57,319 --> 00:18:02,079
Suze: shame and blame, and where it says you know that

320
00:18:02,079 --> 00:18:04,400
Suze: there's no shame or blame big enough to keep you

321
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,949
Suze: from being who you are meant to be. So who

322
00:18:06,949 --> 00:18:08,839
Suze: are you meant to be.

323
00:18:09,380 --> 00:18:13,599
Suze: Another exercise for yourself. So here you can go again

324
00:18:13,810 --> 00:18:17,930
Suze: and write down what's everything that you're ashamed of in

325
00:18:17,930 --> 00:18:22,650
Suze: your life, what's everything that you're blaming somebody else in

326
00:18:22,650 --> 00:18:24,810
Suze: your life for write down.

327
00:18:25,829 --> 00:18:29,469
Suze: Who are you meant to be in this

328
00:18:29,469 --> 00:18:29,739
Suze: life?

329
00:18:29,819 --> 00:18:32,780
KT: You're the world's personal finance expert

330
00:18:34,069 --> 00:18:34,630
KT: without a

331
00:18:34,630 --> 00:18:34,949
KT: doubt.

332
00:18:35,069 --> 00:18:38,619
Suze: There you go, right, but who am I meant to be?

333
00:18:39,739 --> 00:18:44,069
Suze: I'm somebody who I decided a long time ago.

334
00:18:44,979 --> 00:18:47,339
Suze: What I meant to be and what I meant to

335
00:18:47,339 --> 00:18:52,969
Suze: do is I meant to meet the needs of the people, places,

336
00:18:52,979 --> 00:18:54,698
Suze: and times around me.

337
00:18:55,739 --> 00:19:01,010
Suze: And offer my actions to God. That is who I

338
00:19:01,010 --> 00:19:02,239
Suze: am meant to be.

339
00:19:03,310 --> 00:19:08,150
Suze: So that's how I feel about my life and the

340
00:19:08,150 --> 00:19:11,910
Suze: question becomes, who are you meant to be? Write it

341
00:19:11,910 --> 00:19:15,109
Suze: down and see what you can do. All right.

342
00:19:15,150 --> 00:19:19,160
KT: Number 6, this is the finale, everyone, drum roll, Suze. (Suze and KT make drum roll sounds)

343
00:19:22,410 --> 00:19:24,889
Suze: Are you liking this KT? Is that what you wanted? Well,

344
00:19:24,969 --> 00:19:27,729
Suze: this is what you vision? I was this podcast what

345
00:19:27,729 --> 00:19:28,489
Suze: you meant it to be?

346
00:19:29,209 --> 00:19:31,410
KT: Yea, this is what I meant it to be. OK,

347
00:19:31,530 --> 00:19:35,930
KT: so number 6, everybody is my favorite, and it's my

348
00:19:35,930 --> 00:19:39,449
KT: favorite because Suze, after 25 years of being with me,

349
00:19:39,810 --> 00:19:45,599
KT: still says, KT, let's talk. And here's what she says.

350
00:19:45,810 --> 00:19:48,130
KT: What I, you say to me all the time and

351
00:19:48,130 --> 00:19:49,130
KT: I'll give you a hint.

352
00:19:49,790 --> 00:19:51,469
KT: The gatekeepers.

353
00:19:51,890 --> 00:19:53,708
Suze: Oh, that's what you're where you're going.

354
00:19:53,829 --> 00:19:55,948
KT: That's what I want Suze to share with you, but

355
00:19:55,949 --> 00:19:58,550
KT: I want you to hear this in her words because

356
00:19:58,550 --> 00:20:01,948
KT: it's what I hear and it's what I need to

357
00:20:01,949 --> 00:20:02,430
KT: always

358
00:20:03,329 --> 00:20:03,359
KT: remind myself.

359
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,280
Suze: We all do. I remind myself of it.

360
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,560
KT: This is great, everybody share this with everyone you know,

361
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:10,439
KT: especially your family.

362
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:15,069
Suze: May every word that you say, every thought that you think,

363
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:21,479
Suze: and every action that you take, KT and everybody pass

364
00:20:21,479 --> 00:20:27,790
Suze: through the three gatekeepers, and those gatekeepers are, is it kind?

365
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,640
Suze: Is it necessary, and is it true?

366
00:20:32,510 --> 00:20:36,829
Suze: So you're thinking something. If it doesn't pass through those

367
00:20:36,829 --> 00:20:42,930
Suze: three gatekeepers, just stop thinking it. Change the thought. If

368
00:20:42,930 --> 00:20:44,649
Suze: you say something.

369
00:20:45,310 --> 00:20:48,939
Suze: Or you're about to say something before you say it

370
00:20:48,939 --> 00:20:51,939
Suze: if you're not quite sure about it, does it pass

371
00:20:51,939 --> 00:20:57,369
Suze: through the three gatekeepers? Is it kind? Is it necessary?

372
00:20:57,459 --> 00:21:00,930
Suze: Is it true? And every action that you take.

373
00:21:01,829 --> 00:21:05,060
Suze: Just think about it if you have any hesitation at all.

374
00:21:05,780 --> 00:21:09,520
Suze: Does it pass through the three gatekeepers? Is it kind?

375
00:21:09,770 --> 00:21:12,129
Suze: Is it necessary? Is it true?

376
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,979
Suze: And you have to be careful here because sometimes you think.

377
00:21:18,050 --> 00:21:21,188
Suze: You want to say something. It's a little bit harsh.

378
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,438
Suze: It's true. It's necessary, but you get stuck on. Is

379
00:21:25,439 --> 00:21:29,310
Suze: it kind? Is it kind to tell somebody the truth

380
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,459
Suze: about themselves or whatever that maybe they don't want to hear?

381
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:35,639
Suze: So you have to think about it.

382
00:21:36,430 --> 00:21:40,790
Suze: But most of the time when you really love somebody

383
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,959
Suze: or whatever it is and you want to say something

384
00:21:43,959 --> 00:21:46,709
Suze: to them that they might not want to hear.

385
00:21:48,060 --> 00:21:50,040
Suze: That doesn't make it not kind.

386
00:21:51,010 --> 00:21:53,130
Suze: It makes it that they need to hear it, but

387
00:21:53,130 --> 00:21:57,229
Suze: it has to pass through all three of those gatekeepers.

388
00:21:57,719 --> 00:22:01,439
Suze: So again, if you're gonna do anything and it doesn't

389
00:22:01,439 --> 00:22:06,229
Suze: pass through all three of those gatekeepers, just stop.

390
00:22:06,930 --> 00:22:11,150
Suze: And change it until it does. Just that simple KT.

391
00:22:11,390 --> 00:22:14,069
KT: It's my favorite one. Is it kind? Is it necessary?

392
00:22:14,150 --> 00:22:14,819
KT: Is it true?

393
00:22:14,869 --> 00:22:19,739
Suze: And those three gatekeepers will keep you from doing things

394
00:22:20,030 --> 00:22:21,469
Suze: that you're ashamed that you did.

395
00:22:21,469 --> 00:22:22,500
KT: Or regret.

396
00:22:22,500 --> 00:22:25,910
Suze: Or regret or anything, and all of the things that

397
00:22:25,910 --> 00:22:30,579
Suze: we talked about really relate to those gatekeepers.

398
00:22:31,449 --> 00:22:34,069
KT: So there you have it, everyone. I call it the

399
00:22:34,069 --> 00:22:38,300
KT: six secrets to Suze's success, but it's really Credos, inspiration,

400
00:22:38,550 --> 00:22:40,349
KT: words that she's lived by.

401
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:45,050
KT: And taught and imparted not only for me but for

402
00:22:45,050 --> 00:22:48,209
KT: all of you listening to everyone that's read, followed or

403
00:22:48,209 --> 00:22:51,890
KT: listened to her or watched her on television, but most

404
00:22:51,890 --> 00:22:56,810
KT: important for herself. Suze loves these and uses them in

405
00:22:56,810 --> 00:23:01,599
KT: her life to guide herself. She inspires herself with her own inspiration.

406
00:23:02,329 --> 00:23:04,609
Suze: You know, and again, I'm just gonna go back to

407
00:23:04,609 --> 00:23:07,689
Suze: this for a second, everybody, is that.

408
00:23:08,229 --> 00:23:13,319
Suze: You never stop learning. You never stop growing. You also

409
00:23:13,319 --> 00:23:16,989
Suze: never stop having doubts, believe it or not. Can I

410
00:23:16,989 --> 00:23:21,438
Suze: do this? Should I do this? Is this the right thing? Oh,

411
00:23:21,599 --> 00:23:25,000
Suze: so and so tells me, Don't do this, Suze. So

412
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,839
Suze: it's what do I need to do versus what other

413
00:23:27,839 --> 00:23:29,469
Suze: people want me to do.

414
00:23:30,010 --> 00:23:33,229
Suze: What do I tell myself? What is it that I want?

415
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:38,500
Suze: So all these things that KT just chose today to do,

416
00:23:38,810 --> 00:23:40,438
Suze: I kind of like that you did this, KT.

417
00:23:41,199 --> 00:23:41,479
KT: Now she tells me...

418
00:23:41,479 --> 00:23:42,550
Suze: If you think...

419
00:23:42,550 --> 00:23:44,829
KT: Now she tells me, everybody.

420
00:23:45,079 --> 00:23:46,599
Suze: And if you think this is gonna make it so

421
00:23:46,599 --> 00:23:47,560
Suze: that I don't do your

422
00:23:47,670 --> 00:23:49,479
Suze: Roth quizzy, you are so wrong,

423
00:23:49,569 --> 00:23:53,000
KT: I know, right? And that's number 4. If you think

424
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,430
KT: you can't, you never ever, ever, ever will. So I

425
00:23:56,430 --> 00:23:59,770
KT: can conquer Roth. I can, and I

426
00:23:59,770 --> 00:24:00,239
KT: will.

427
00:24:00,449 --> 00:24:02,810
Suze: CAN Canceling Any Negativity.

428
00:24:02,810 --> 00:24:03,379
Suze: Can.

429
00:24:03,380 --> 00:24:03,920
KT: I can.

430
00:24:06,099 --> 00:24:09,448
Suze: No matter where you are in life, on your spectrum

431
00:24:09,449 --> 00:24:15,280
Suze: of life, young, not so young, old, and really old,

432
00:24:15,729 --> 00:24:20,569
Suze: these are all sayings, secrets. Let them be your own

433
00:24:20,569 --> 00:24:25,689
Suze: little inner secret that helps you be who you really

434
00:24:25,689 --> 00:24:27,569
Suze: want to be and who you are meant.

435
00:24:27,859 --> 00:24:31,619
Suze: To be and what's meant to be today, by the way.

436
00:24:31,900 --> 00:24:36,420
KT: Oh yeah, today's Taylor's birthday, Suze. We want to wish Taylor,

437
00:24:36,500 --> 00:24:40,688
KT: our nephew who's in North Florida, a very happy, happy,

438
00:24:40,719 --> 00:24:45,660
KT: happy birthday. Taylor makes boys. Taylor has 3 sons, which

439
00:24:45,660 --> 00:24:49,099
KT: are our great nephews, right? They're great, great nephews.

440
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,650
KT: And he has 1, 2, 3, and, and I said to,

441
00:24:52,719 --> 00:24:55,439
KT: to Katie, his wife, you think you're gonna go for

442
00:24:55,439 --> 00:24:57,349
KT: number 4? And they looked at me and we said,

443
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,599
KT: we don't know. And I said, Suze, how many boys

444
00:25:00,599 --> 00:25:01,889
KT: on a soccer team?

445
00:25:03,910 --> 00:25:04,629
KT: But Taylor,

446
00:25:04,699 --> 00:25:09,989
Suze: have a happy happy birthday to you. So, Ms. Travis,

447
00:25:10,109 --> 00:25:14,540
Suze: since this was your podcast today, you take us out.

448
00:25:14,630 --> 00:25:17,739
KT: There's only 3 things we want you to remember, everybody,

449
00:25:18,150 --> 00:25:22,430
KT: and that is: people first, then money, then things.

450
00:25:23,430 --> 00:25:27,438
Suze: And if you do that, you stay strong, you stay safe,

451
00:25:27,750 --> 00:25:29,780
Suze: and guess what? Together

452
00:25:30,109 --> 00:25:30,760
KT: we

453
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:31,280
KT: will

454
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:32,699
Suze: rise.
