SERIES: Build The Wall – Part 3 – Stop Debt
I am PUMPED about this new series on JosephSangl.com – “Build The Wall”! I truly believe that if people will do this, it has the potential to completely change their lives!
Build The Wall – Part 3 The wall STOPS debt!
When you build the wall, you STOP acquiring debt! In fact, it is impossible to become and stay debt-free without building THE WALL.
If you truly want to remain debt-free, you need to build the wall. This way, the “life happens” events can happen and your wall can absorb those expenses. This allows you to remain focused on working toward funding your goals.
Think about it – if you have no savings and your refrigerator dies, you will finance a new refrigerator. You need a working refrigerator! This means you will have to turn to debt to fund the replacement fridge.
However, if you have THE WALL built with at least $2,500, you can purchase a new fridge WITH CASH MONEY and never lose focus on attacking your debt and other key goals!
Which of the following two scenarios will you choose for your life?
- No wall (with a serving of STRESS and sides of FRUSTRATION and ANGER)
- THE WALL (with a serving of CONFIDENCE and sides of PEACE and SATISFACTION)
As for me and my house, we will choose Scenario #2.
SERIES: Build The Wall – Part 2 – Protection
I am PUMPED about this new series on JosephSangl.com – “Build The Wall”! I truly believe that if people will do this, it has the potential to completely change their lives!
Build The Wall – Part 2 The wall offers PROTECTION!
When you have built a wall between you and the “life happens” events, you are protected from being distracted by those events. For example, when I was B-R-O-K-E I would be very distracted and frustrated by a car breakdown. Now, if I had faced reality, I would have known that my car would break down and would have prepared for it by building the wall. However, because I did not recognize reality, I did not have a wall built. This caused me inordinate amounts of stress as I dealt with a broken down vehicle, the annoying task of getting back and forth to work while it was being repaired, AND having to pay for it!
I will NEVER forget the day that I built the wall. I took an entire tax refund in 2003 and BUILT THE WALL. It wasn’t as fun as spending it on some nice purchase, but for the first time in my adult life I experienced financial margin. Financial margin equals PROTECTION.
This protection enabled me to breathe easier in a way I had never experienced before. It was so worth it!
BUILD THE WALL!
ACTION STEP: Build your starter wall with $2,500. Your ultimate goal is between $20,000 and $30,000.
YOU can do it!
SERIES: Build The Wall – Part 1 – What is the wall?
I am PUMPED about this new series on JosephSangl.com – “Build The Wall”! I truly believe that if people will do this, it has the potential to completely change their lives!
Build The Wall – Part 1 What is the wall?
The WALL represents SAVINGS. It is a wall built between you and the things that life will throw at you.
Look at the picture below. The WALL provides protection from the things that we KNOW that life will throw at us!
If you do not have a wall of savings built up, things look like the below picture. Can you say “impending disaster”?!?!
Think about it. If you have no savings, you CAN NOT PROSPER! You will always be in a position where you will have to turn to debt. The car will break down. The refrigerator and stove will stop working. With a 100-percent mortality rate in American, someone will get sick. A job layoff could happen tomorrow. History has shown us that more than one unplanned baby has shown up on the scene! Eventually, your roof will leak.
If you already have a wall, it is time for an inspection to ensure that it is built high enough!
If you do not have a wall, TODAY is the day for you to begin building it! Not tomorrow – TODAY!
Lost It All
I recently listened to a keynote speech delivered by Dr. Kevin Elko.
He made a passing statement that really caught my attention. In fact, three days after hearing it, I am still thinking about it and have even dreamed about it!
Here is the statement:
“If you lost everything you had today and got it back tomorrow, tomorrow would be the greatest day of your life!”
THAT is so true! We can get so focused on what we do not have that we totally forget what we do have!
It has really challenged me to continually align my focus on being thankful for what I do have. I hope it does the same for you!
GENEROSITY – CONTAGIOUS
I was the recipient of an extremely generous gift today. I’m blown away. This person did not know me. This person did not have any reason to bless me. Yet, they blessed me tremendously.
They did, however, care enough to ask how I was doing. From there, an act of spontaneous generosity happened. And I had the joy of being the recipient.
Have you ever been there? Blessed because someone cared enough ask and then did something about it.
I’m sure you’re wondering what the blessing was. Click HERE to see what it was and then read the rest …

It was a cup of herbal mint tea with two doses of honey.
You see, I spoke for 10 hours straight on Wednesday at First Christian Church in Owasso, OK (an INCREDIBLE church!) and my voice was impacted greatly. To the point that I woke up Thursday morning with hardly any voice. I whispered my order of Pike’s Place Coffee (no room for cream or sugar), and yes, please make it a Grande. The young lady taking my order asked how I was doing, and I said (whispered), “I wish my voice would return!”
Immediately, she said that I needed to try this special tea with honey in it. It was an herbal mint tea with two doses of honey. And the tea REALLY HELPED MY VOICE!!! Her spontaneous act of generosity BLESSED ME GREATLY and humbled me at the same time.
When was the last time you blessed someone? After all, that’s why you want to win with your money, right? To bless others and fund your dreams and the hopes of others? There is nothing greater than giving.
