Free Will vs. The Self: Whoโ€™s in the Driverโ€™s Seat?โ€
Free Will vs. The Self: Whoโ€™s in the Driverโ€™s Seat?โ€
In this discussion, weโ€™ll wrestle with one of the oldest philosophical questions: are we truly free to choose, or is our sense of self shaped by forces beyond our control? Weโ€™ll explore the tension between free will and self-determination, questioning how much agency we actually have in crafting our livesโ€”and whether the self can ever be fully in charge. Absolutely! Try these out: First, if we have free will, what does that freedom really mean in our daily choices? Second, how do external factorsโ€”like upbringing or societyโ€”limit or shape self-determination? Third, can we ever truly separate who we are from the circumstances that shaped us? And finally, do we need to believe in free will for a sense of personal responsibility, or is self-determination enough? You can add a note at the end like: โ€œParticipation in this discussion is 100 AED per attendee, ensuring a thoughtful and engaging session for everyone.โ€ Whatsup link to attend: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GlsuhqVZBu22r92gv68g85?mode=gi_t Mobile:553253516

$100M Money Models - Alex Hormozi
Thanks for joining the Money Minds meetup group. If you would like to be the first to know whenever a new event is announced, please join our whatsapp group using the link; [https://chat.whatsapp.com/DPbMfZndPooGHSxFCLCKHg](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DPbMfZndPooGHSxFCLCKHg) \*Guinness World Record: Fastest Selling Non-Fiction Book in History\* \*\* OVER 5,000,000 COPIES SOLD IN THE $100M SERIES!! \*\* This book will show you the art of getting more customers to spend more money faster. If you have a business, this book will help you make more from it. If you donโ€™t have a business, this will help you start one. If you have parents, this book will help you retire them. If you have rivals, this book will help you beat them. If you have monetary goals, this book will help you achieve them. Iโ€™m not a happiness guru, a fitness guru, an investing guru, or anything else. But, I can show you how to accelerate cash flow in a business - in other words - get more customers to spend more money in less time (over & over again). I know because itโ€™s all Iโ€™ve done in my adult career. I crossed $100M net worth by age 31. Today: I buy and scale companies at my family office Acquisition.com. My side hustle: I make content showing how we do it. My joke life goal is to be the most jacked billionaire. My real-life goal is to die with nothing left to give. A little more about the book if you want thatโ€ฆ A Money Model is a deliberate sequence of offers. Itโ€™s what you offer, when you offer, and how you offer it to make as much money as you can as fast as you can. Ideally, to make enough money from one customer to get and service at least two more customers in less than thirty days. And it rarely looks clean, but I break $100M Money Models into three stages: Stage I: Get Cash - Attraction Offers get more customers for less Stage II: Get More Cash - Upsell & Downsell Offers make more money from them faster Stage III: Get The Most Cash - Continuity Offers maximize their total money spent In real life, it happens like this... First, I get customers reliably. Then, I make sure they pay for themselves reliably. Then, I make sure they pay for other customers reliably. Then, I start maximizing each customerโ€™s long-term value. Then, I spend as many advertising dollars as I can to print as much money as possible. This is my cookbook for making money. It took me over a decade to learn all these tactics. Itโ€™ll take you three hours. Use responsibly. Enjoy.

From Stability to Stewardship

A Biblical & Practical Path to Financial Freedom
From Stability to Stewardship A Biblical & Practical Path to Financial Freedom
This is not just a money class. This is a restoration space. The I AM Worthy of Ownershipโ„ข Path is a 12-step, sister-centered journey for women who are ready to build financial stability without shame, fear, or pressureโ€”and to do it in a way that honors both wisdom and the spirit. Many women donโ€™t struggle with money because they lack discipline or intelligence. They struggle because of unhealed experiences, survival patterns, and the quiet belief that they are โ€œbehindโ€ or โ€œdisqualified.โ€ This series gently challenges those beliefs while offering practical tools for peace, clarity, and long-term planning. Together, we will talk honestly about: Releasing shame and money anxiety Building stability as a form of self-respect and spiritual discipline Understanding money as a tool, not a source of worth Managing debt with clarity instead of condemnation Preparing for lifeโ€™s unexpected moments without fear Laying a calm foundation for future ownership and legacy Each session blends practical financial education with reflection, conversation, and encouragement. There is no pressure to share personal numbers or experiences. You are welcome to speak, journal quietly, or simply listen. This is not about hustle. This is not about perfection. This is about alignment, wisdom, and peace. Who this series is for: Women who are starting over or rebuilding Women who want stability without stress Women preparing for future ownership or housing decisions Women who want their financial lives to reflect wholeness, not fear No prior financial knowledge is required. Come as you are. Bring a notebook. Leave a little lighter than you arrived. Light refreshments will be served along with 30 minutes of networking.
Turning Rentals Into Income: How Investors Pay Off Properties Faster
Turning Rentals Into Income: How Investors Pay Off Properties Faster
#### Turning Rentals Into Income: How Investors Pay Off Properties Faster #### **Featuring Guest Speaker: John Blackburn** **๐Ÿ‘‰ Get your FREE TICKET [HERE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/turning-rentals-into-income-how-investors-pay-off-properties-faster-tickets-1980492192461?aff=cicmeetupapp)** #### A lot of people get into real estate because they want freedom. Then they buy a rentalโ€ฆand realize most of the rent goes straight to the bank. They technically own property, but the mortgage controls the income. And waiting 30 years for properties to be paid off doesnโ€™t feel realistic. This meetup is about understanding a different way to think about rental propertiesโ€ฆ one that focuses on paying them off sooner so the income is actually usable. **Featured Guest Speaker: John Blackburn** Weโ€™re excited to welcome John Blackburn as our guest speaker for this event. John has been actively investing in real estate since 2006 and has: * Been involved in **5,000+ real estate transactions** * Helped investors **acquire over $150 million in rental property** * **Raised more than $100 million** in private capital John didnโ€™t start with family money or shortcuts. He built his portfolio by focusing on clear systems, real numbers, and long-term strategy. For this meetup, John will walk through how investors shift their focus from simply owning rentals to building properties that eventually pay themโ€ฆwithout a mortgage attached. **What Youโ€™ll Learn** John will break down, in simple terms: * Why most rental properties donโ€™t produce much usable income early on * Why buying more rentals isnโ€™t always the answer * How investors structure their properties to pay off mortgages in a fraction of the time * How properties can work together to eliminate debt faster * What changes once rentals become free and clear This approach is often referred to as an accelerated paydown strategy โ€” using rental income intentionally to reduce debt sooner, rather than waiting decades for mortgages to run their course. John will also share a simple calculator you can use to see how this works with real numbers and realistic scenarios. **The Core Idea** When a rental has a mortgage, the rent has one job: **pay the bank.** When a rental is paid off, the rent has a different job: **pay you.** Most people only see one timelineโ€ฆ30 years. This session shows how investors shorten that timeline and gradually increase their income as properties become free and clear. **Who This Event Is For** This event is for people who want more than just โ€œowning rentalsโ€ on paper. * Rental owners who are tired of most of the rent going to the bank and want a clearer path to real, usable income * New investors who want to understand how rental properties actually build wealth over time before jumping in * People with capital who want to invest in real estate with intention and a long-term plan * Anyone serious about freedom and curious how rental properties transition from debt-heavy assets into income-producing ones **Event Details** **Location:** Ohio Brewing Company - 421 E 2nd Ave, Columbus, OH 43201 **Date & Time:** January 25th, 6โ€“8 PM (Doors open at 5:30) **Cost:** Free (Seats are limited - RSVP required) **๐Ÿ‘‰ Get your FREE TICKET [HERE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/turning-rentals-into-income-how-investors-pay-off-properties-faster-tickets-1980492192461?aff=cicmeetupapp)** If youโ€™ve ever wondered how rental properties actually turn into freedom โ€”this is the room to be in.

RMH Housewarmers volunteer at least one four-hour shift a month. All Housewarmers must complete an application and agree to a background check before they can be full fledged volunteers.

CMG Gives Back - March: Serve Brunch at FAITH MISSION GRANT KITCHEN!
Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event! For this event, weโ€™ll help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents, wash dishes and clean surfaces at Fath Mission โ€“ Grant Kitchen. We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, weโ€™ll help โ€œCreate a better worldโ€ by helping serve those in need. Here are complete details and our plan for this event: FAITH MISSION โ€“ GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. Our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces. PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for BRUNCH from 10:30am to 12:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 10:15am and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants. LOCATION: Faith Mission โ€“ Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1, indicated in the attached map. On-site and street parking are available in the surrounding area.

Please only sign up if you are certain youโ€™ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With very few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. THANK YOU: This CMG Gives Back event provides an opportunity for YOU to get involved in helping others! Benefits go well beyond the help we give to others. Volunteering provides a wide range of personal benefits, including positive effects on mental and physical health, reduced stress/depression/anxiety, increased happiness and improved purpose, life-satisfaction and personal well-being! Plus, the opportunity to get involved, connect with others and help those in need. PARTNER AGENCY: This event is hosted by Lutheran Social Services (LSS), which serves thousands of people in need each day in 27 Ohio counties by addressing the four core societal issues of food, shelter, safety and healing. LSS offers food through the LSS Food Pantries, housing and supportive services through LSS Faith Mission and LSS Faith Mission of Fairfield County homeless shelters, domestic violence services through LSS CHOICES for Victims of Domestic Violence, senior living and health care, affordable housing communities, and other services that uplift families and strengthen communities. Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
