Today’s guest is Tela Holcomb. Let’s cut right to the chase, Tela retired at the age of 29! It didn’t happen because she was born into money, won the lotto, or took any other shortcut. She reached that point through educating herself on the stock market and trading. Tela is an Air Force Veteran that joined the military because she wanted to force herself to commit to something that she would not be able to quit. She grew up in a small town and she wanted to give herself a chance to be gone for long enough that she could guarantee herself a change. Today she spends her time teaching others how they can use investments and trading as a source of income and change their financial futures. She gets to do this purely because she enjoys it, not because she needs the money from it. Today Tela will share with us more about the basic financial lessons her mom taught her that helped set her on the right path for handling her finances in the future. She shares how she started learning about investments and why she struggled with the idea of “retiring” and focusing on her investments and trading. In This Episode We Discuss:  How learning to balance a checkbook, budget, and pay the bills made such a difference in her life. The importance of trademarking in your business. The importance of not increasing your spending every time you get an increase in your pay. Why she and her husband have been able to be successful in handling finances in marriage. Why it’s important to teach your children more than you were taught in order to expand what they can achieve.

You need to legally register your name and logo so others can’t impersonate your material. Tela shared some reasons on why this is so important and I need to get to it! Trademarking your ideas helps you protect your intellectual property. You may have some great ideas that could really help you change your financial future, but if you don’t protect those ideas you could lose them completely. Tela is able to rest easy because she knows if someone tries to use her something she created, her intellectual property, her trademark attorney’s got her back. It’s not only important to make the money and create the ideas, but it’s also important to protect what you have created.
