In fact, we know he left his mark on thousands of people. We hope you enjoy this short tribute. The post Happy Birthday Nelson appeared first on Life Success Legacy.

In this #tbt podcast, Mike and Chris dive into something we hear all the time, that whole life insurance is a bad place to store your money. In fact, I bet you’ve either said it yourself, or heard someone make the claim. However, this is the absolute brilliance of Nelson Nash and his Infinite Banking Concept. When you take a step back and look at it through the lens of this podcast, or for that matter through the lens of Nelson Nash himself, you will quickly realize that there is in fact NO bett...

Nelson wrapped up the Human Problems section with a one page chapter on the topic of Use It or Lose It. Mike and Chris venture down into the main principle, EVA, or Economic Value Added. Which is the “recognition of the fact that your own capital has a cost, as well as that which has been borrowed from banks.” Seems simple enough, but as Nelson wrapped the chapter up he states it perfectly, “Just like EVA, to be effective, IBC must become a way of life.” The post Use It or Lose It – BYOB#19 app...

This weeks #tbt podcast was originally released January 4th, 2018. The sustainability of Infinite Banking has very little to do with the concept itself, but is a question about the insurance industry itself. I believe this question is rooted in the uncertainty of the federal reserve and our monetary system, and as a result, we feel like the insurance companies must be as unstable as those entities. However, if you take a listen (or read) to this podcast, you’ll quickly realize that the two are n...

Nelson states, “This phenomenon probable limited the achievements of mankind more than anything else. When this ‘thing’ infects us, we stop growing, stop learning. We turn off or tune out the ability to receive inspiration — because we ‘already know all there is to know.'” If that doesn’t make you stop and ponder for a moment… Nelson was right, though. Our ability to learn and grow is almost always hindered by our human nature, or the arrival syndrome. Watch and listen as Mike and Chris go deep...

In this #tbt post, Mike and Chris talk through a question we get all the time. Is Infinite Banking too good to be true? Honestly it’s a question most of us have asked too! Take a listen to this podcast, and we feel you will be pleasantly surprised that our goal is not to ‘prove’ someone right or wrong, but it is to educate and re-educate. Skepticism is expected, and even welcomed! Enjoy this gem of a show! Is IBC too good to be true transcript Chris Bay: Welcome to the Life Success & Legacy p...

In this #tbt episode Mike and Chris break down the reasons so many of us have never heard of Infinite Banking. Mike separates it into three main points: 1. Nelson didn’t write Becoming Your Own Banker until 2000. 2. There aren’t enough IBC practitioners. 3. Third, it takes time and energy to educate yourself about IBC. This includes potential clients and agents. In other words, it’s too time consuming. What can we learn from this? Well, if you want to be the one in charge and control of your ow...

In this #tbt we wrap up the Policy Design discussion by going into the details of what Nelson discovered. So many of us buy life insurance for just the death benefit and never think of the possibilities that lie within that contract. Mike continues to challenge us and asks which is more important to you today; cash or life insurance death benefit. It’s always cash. But using this tool we can not only gain incredibly flexible access to cash, but we also get to continually grow the death benefit f...

In this episode Mike and Chris dive into Willie Sutton’s Law. Nelson had a lot of well thought out opinions on things. So why does he follow up the Human Problems with a chapter about a notorious bank robber?

In this weeks #tbt podcast, we dive into the third pillar of Infinite Banking.
