The Financially Fit Blueprint by DeAngelo Watson

3 Bullet Book: 2020, book #46: “Financial literacy is a topic a lot of people in our community rarely discuss. Whether it is generational trends or lack of knowledge, it’s time to change the narrative” — DeAngelo Watson

Finished on July 6, 2020

I connected with DeAngelo through a few friends of mine on Instagram last year. It was pretty cool to watch the way he established his vision and realized that he could add some value by putting his thoughts together and pushing out a book through Gumroad. Now, DeAngelo has his own trucking company and a number of other businesses. There are a handful of people that you encounter who move differently, they have hyperfocus — DeAngelo is one of those people.

The 3 Bullets

1. He makes it very clear throughout the entire book, and in the overall context of everything that he shares, that we need to have a solid foundation before focusing on investing and creating wealth. An emergency fund is one important step. Freeing yourself of all high interest debt is one important step. Educating yourself on the different avenues of investing that you are interested in is also one important step.
