From Financial Stress To Success: Cory & Shannon’s Wealth Journey

Introduction to the Wilkinson Family Journey

 

Wealth Acceleration Podcast | Cory & Shannon Wilkinson | Financial Success

 

What is up, everybody? It’s Wade Reed here for the next episode of the Wealth Acceleration Podcast. I am super excited to be with you and have special guests for you. I promised you this. I promised you, and I’m delivering. We have with us Cory and Shannon Wilkinson. They’re going to be my special guests, and we have a chance just to talk shop. They’ve been clients of mine for several years.

We’re going to have a casual conversation about what life was like before we connected, what some of the things were that they were trying to accomplish, what they were looking for help with, how things have progressed over the past 2 or 3 years, and how things look today compared to when we first started. Cory, Shannon, welcome.

Wade.

Thank you.

Thanks for having us.

I’m super excited that you’re here. Thank you so much for joining. Why don’t you guys just briefly tell us about yourselves? A little bit about what you do, your family, where you live.

We live in Omaha, Nebraska. We have been married for almost ten years. We have three kids. They’re 8, 6, and 3, and Cory’s a dentist.

I have my own dental practice here in Omaha. I’ve had that for about five years, and my wife, she’s a nurse, but she’s currently helping out with the business.

Awesome. Hobbies, what do you guys like to do for fun?

We love to travel. We’re taking our kids to Disneyland in two days, actually, for the first time. What else do we like to do? We’re busy with our kids’ activities. We like to have date night at least once a month with just us, and then hang out with our friends. Watch sports, movies.

Pretty much sums it up. Workout, we like to work out. Stay healthy.

Good stuff, right on. We had the good fortune, I took my family out on a motorhome trip, and part of our trip was just passing through your area. We connected and got to hang out, spend some time together, let our kids get to know each other. Omaha Zoo is a really cool place. Anyone listening, if you’ve ever been there, drop a note in the comments about what you thought about the Omaha Zoo. I’m looking at some of my notes here, and I am recognizing it was April 2020 when we first connected. I don’t know if you can think that far back, but if you can, try to remember what it was that you were looking for when we first connected that made us want to have the conversation and discuss the possibility of coaching.

Navigating Early Challenges in Business

Back then, I know life was really busy. I had just bought my dental practice a year prior. Just trying to figure out how to work that system and get through the business and owning a business, it was a lot of stress in my life. Shannon was working full time as a nurse. We had two young kids at that time, 3 and 1. Life was pretty intense. That spring of 2020 was when COVID was creeping up. There’s just another layer of stress in everybody’s.

I forget about that intense.

I was also in charge of all the financial responsibility with the family. Shannon was really focused on raising our kids there. It got to a point where there’s just too many things on my plate, and we had to get some answers and get some organization in our life. That’s what ultimately led me to reach out to you, Wade, and get some financial advice.

Things were pretty stressful, it sounds like. I remember starting a new business. You had been an associate prior to that, if I remember right?

Yep, for four and a half years before that.

You’d learned the business by being in it for a few years, and now you’re just starting your own. You started from scratch or purchased?

We purchased the practice. There’s a retiring doctor, he had some neck issues and some other things going on in his life, and he needed somebody to come take over his practice. It was just good timing with things in our life.

Good times. It’s an exciting time when you take on a new project, and super stressful, am I right?

Yeah.

Is this thing actually going to work? I’ve got new team members that may or may not stick around. I’ve got a client base or patient base that was already coming in, will they stick with me? Will we be able to actually produce the income to pay the bills? It’s a big loan to take on to buy a practice, typically. I’m looking at some of my notes from that, I just found them. I forgot, but I had such good notes. It said, biggest challenges, not sure what’s next in his financial life, protecting his wealth so he can produce passive incomes, stress about money since buying his practice a year ago, time, wants more time with his kids.

We talked about what having a clear plan would look like, and your main word, I don’t know if you remember this, but it was relief. You said you would anticipate, if we could accomplish overcoming some of those challenges you discussed, you were looking for some relief. I’m curious, again, we’re over four years at this point, do you feel a sense of relief, or perhaps when did that first occur, if you have felt it?

The Shift from Scarcity to Abundance Mindset

Yeah, it’s been a process, but I think relief is definitely there, without a doubt. From where we started four years ago, I can’t tell you how different things are dramatically different, a lot less stress. I think you and I, we’ve talked about that before in the past too, with that loop that comes, when you get that panic loop, I forget what you called it, but at first, the loop would be really large, and you’d go through this struggle for a long period of time. It’s all about making that loop smaller and smaller and smaller.

Racket Cycle: The Extension of Time

Call that the mental racket cycle. That’s actually a really interesting point. Let’s touch on that for a second. For those of you listening, just imagine a straight line, and you’re trying to get from point A to point B. In your mind, you think it’s basically just a straight line, you want to get there as quickly as you can, but what often keeps happening is that when you start at point A and you set point B, there are emotional things that come up, belief systems, triggering thoughts, and experiences from your past that cause delays in how you move toward the accomplishment of your goals. If you can imagine each of those times that comes up and causes delays, like a circle.

A circle might look fairly small because you can close it off, but when you lengthen it out, like those of you looking at my hand, you notice that when I close the circle, it looks small, but when I open up my finger and my thumb, it’s much longer than you realize a circle is. 

There’s a significant extension of the amount of time it can take because of those loops that we go through emotionally. I’m not good enough to do this. It’s too much, I’m not worthy of this, or whatever the belief systems are that cause us to go through that. The more we recognize that that’s happening, the smaller the loop can be and the quicker we can make progress. That’s a big thing.

In coaching, we ought to recognize what those triggering moments are because thought is the genesis of emotion. Emotion is the genesis of action. Action creates results, and then those results, positive or negative, lead to more of that same type of thinking. One of my virtual mentors, his name is Brian Tracy, he’s a success coach, sales coach, uses the phrase, Nothing succeeds like success. That’s a really short way of saying that when you get into a positive frame of mind, a positive progress, it expands and expands and expands, and we have more and more success.

I personally, as a coach over the years, have found that the clients I work with get into that more expansive thinking. There’s a little bit more of an abundance mindset on a consistent basis, and that allows for expansion to occur of the financial resources and of the life experiences that you’re seeking. Have you found that to be true?

Yeah.

Yeah, definitely.

I feel like scarcity was huge in the beginning before coaching with you. I was pretty nervous, we’ve talked about this numerous times, but about running out of patients. And as a dentist, buying the practice, I was always afraid that I’d run out of patients.

Hold on to that, not running out of your ability to be patient with people, but running out of people coming in to receive your services, those type of patients?

Yes, as a dentist.

A legitimate fear, probably of more than one dentist and probably more than one business owner, is this worry or fear that, “What if I only have a really finite number of people who will come in to see me or receive my service or my product?”

I could always tell things were running through his mind, even if we were having family time or trying to relax on the weekend. I could always just tell in those first year or two of starting the business that he was always thinking about if he was doing things right, or if he needed to do more, or what he should even be doing. It’s just nice to have the opportunity to get things organized, get your thoughts organized, get a plan.

That’s a perfect segue into the overall system that I’ve taught you guys. Remember those four steps? Organize, systemize, optimize, maximize. It’s an acronym that says awesome. You want to be awesome with money. The organizing of thought, that’s the genesis of emotion and action. If we aren’t clear on what our belief systems are, what thinking we have about it, scarcity versus abundance, and how quickly we fall back into either, it can cause us to be in turmoil emotionally. Share with me how getting financially organized was helpful in the beginning of our work.

Organizing Finances for Clarity and Peace

I think the best way that we accomplished that was we met at least twice a month in the beginning, setting goals, getting tasks accomplished that you recommended we’d work on by the next meeting. I feel like that helped really push our organization and getting finances, insurances, credit reports, all that stuff. That was pretty important there in the beginning to get everything organized and clumped together.

How did you feel having the financial life really organized?

There’s so much information out there with podcasts, and, I don’t know, emails, books, research, all that stuff. There’s so much financial knowledge out there, but in my head at the time, it was a chaotic jumble. It was just too much information, what’s right, what’s wrong. We didn’t really know for our family personally. Once we got that organization with you, things were a lot clearer. It was not so much a jumble in the head anymore. It was just laid out there in an organized fashion that was easy to reference and put up the mind.

As that organization took place, what was the emotional reaction to it?

Are you looking for the word relief? Because we were getting more relief in our lives.

No, that’s silly, but I’m curious. The word peace helped us feel more comfortable. We felt more confidence. I’m legitimately curious, thinking back on that for both of you, what did that feel like, knowing that we know where we’re at?

Just being on the same page too. We got married, started having kids, owned a business. We were really busy, and we didn’t really ever have much time to talk about it or really sit down and look at all the numbers of what we had going on. Just being on the same page is huge, and then it just opens the doors for communication, further conversations about where we should go from where we were at on paper.

Wealth Acceleration Podcast | Cory & Shannon Wilkinson | Financial Success
Financial Success: Being on the same page is huge, as it opens the door to communication and further conversations about where to go from what we had outlined on paper.

Right on, that’s a powerful thing right there. One of my main objectives in my coaching and things that drive me, because I’m a family man. I’ve been married 21 years. I’ve got six children ranging from 8 to 19 years old. My parents divorced when I was twelve. I saw firsthand the difficulties of a broken relationship. Some of the comments I got from my parents were that they struggled with certain communication. The word you just brought up there, that this opportunity to connect as a couple, to be in meetings with me, created that accountability to be there together. I’m sure you’ve had private sessions in the evenings when the kids are down, or maybe on the weekend.

I often recommend my clients have a weekly marriage mastermind, where you’re talking through a variety of things from your future vision for your life to an upcoming commitment you have of time somewhere. Maybe you’ve got a service thing, or maybe you’ve got a work thing, or you’ve got a trip you’re going to take or something. What are the financial ramifications of certain decisions? What are the goals we’re trying to accomplish? There’s this byproduct of a unification that I have seen consistently in my married clients. I’m grateful you brought that up. I’m sure a lot of what others are seeking happens as a natural byproduct of this, and it’s the accountability.

Wealth Acceleration Podcast | Cory & Shannon Wilkinson | Financial Success

Coaching isn’t advice. Coaching is asking you where you’re at, what is important to you, and then helping create accountability and a path that has benchmarks, action items that are time-bound to help progress continue to happen, and you’ve done that. You’ve taken that. We’ve kept up on a quarterly basis after that first fairly intensive year. We typically do weekly for most of my clients in the first couple, three months, maybe every other week depending on their availability, but there’s a regular accountability. It spreads out because life happens. The thing about money is it’s not instantly there in large quantities.

In most cases, it takes time to develop an ongoing rhythm and receive the resources that then you have to make decisions about. We start to extend the time later on. I’m curious, on average, what you think the time commitment was in that first 3 to 6 months of working together. How much time per week do you think you spent talking about money and dealing with that?

We had our hour session and then maybe like an hour of prep work and discussion and things, would you say?

Yeah, maybe a little bit more intense in the beginning where you spend a little extra time on it, especially getting the financial scorecard and all the documents together. That took a little bit more time. After that, we’re in a pretty good routine where it’s just an hour with you and then an hour or maybe two hours, just getting prepped and getting the goals accomplished that we set.

It’s something that clients bring up. I’m not sure if I have the time for this, and 1 to 2 hours a week, probably spreading that out to an hour or two a month after the basics get in place to keep things maintained. It’s not that difficult. It’s like you come in to see you as a patient. If it takes an hour to be there and do the cleaning and the analysis and the x-rays and whatever the procedure might be, but then it’s like maintenance. Six months to a year, and you’re taking care of your teeth. It’s not that big a deal. Similar things for finance.

Once we get the life organized, and then we move into creating systems. Once you have the data available, then you can move into a rhythm and almost automate the flows of the cash. I’m curious, what were some of the specific changes or strategies that you made that had the biggest impact on your financial situation?

Investing in Real Estate and Business Growth

I guess it’s not very specific, but what I learned from our coaching sessions, I wasn’t very versed in the financial lingo at all. Being a nurse, I just didn’t learn anything like that in school or anything. The communication that we were able to have was helpful to me. That’s not a very specific thing, but you can go ahead.

Wealth Acceleration Podcast | Cory & Shannon Wilkinson | Financial Success

I don’t know, really. I think going with the goals, obviously our bigger goal was to be financially literate, know what we’re doing with our finances and things like that, and then breaking it down into the small goals that you were talking about, with doing our daily tasks and things like that. You got to look at the bigger picture, like accomplishing that bigger goal of being knowledgeable in finances was great. That was awesome.

That’s really interesting. It wasn’t necessarily a specific strategy that’s had the big impact. It’s learning the lingo, understanding what money is, the language of money, and how things work, becoming more financially knowledgeable. Is that what you’re saying?

Yeah.

Very cool.

It’s great.

I have found similar things to be true. I often use the phrase when we’re talking about investing that risk is in the investor, not the investment. What that gets at is that if you have an awareness of what investing is, if you have an awareness and knowledge, knowledge really brings a sense of confidence and power. It gives us the ability to make better decisions, so then you can start to apply strategies. Some of the things that we often do for small business owners like yourselves is take a look at the tax situation. Are we optimizing that? I’m not necessarily a tax professional.

I’m licensed to do that, but I’ve been around this conversation so much and have personally worked with CPAs on different strategies. There are certain things that can be done, and I’ll just remind some of the listeners here. If you’re in a small business, operating as an S corporation is one of the most advantageous things that can be done, especially for a hundred-percent-owned business, like somebody in the service space, dentistry, chiropractic, or other service-based businesses in the healthcare space.

Even if you operate a construction company or perhaps a physical products business, if you’re a hundred percent owner, you can operate that as an S corporation, and you can differentiate salary, which has payroll tax or the Social Security and Medicare taxes that are an extra 15.3%. You can separate that out by having a salary versus a distribution of profit. Whereas if you’re a sole proprietor, if you’re in an LLC running as a single member LLC, those are all at every dollar that you have as profit in those businesses are subject to the payroll tax or self-employment tax. You can save anywhere from $5,000 to $15,000 a year in that situation.

We discussed that and made sure that that was being dialed in with your CPA. I’ll always refer people back to their strategists, specialists, and professionals after we talk big picture to validate things are legit for you. What about assets? You have an interest in real estate. What was your situation with real estate when we first started versus what you have done since?

I’d like to say that we were probably more of money hoarders. We were afraid to spend the money, back to that scarcity mindset where we were afraid if we spent the money here on an investment, maybe there was a better opportunity down the road. Once we worked through that mindset shift to abundance, we made some investments. We made an investment on a quadplex with some family members with an opportunity that came up with that through the family.

Other opportunities, even a chicken farm became a thing, and it was a good opportunity. We actually jumped on that as well. It’s even progressed to this point where I have more patients than I can handle, and we’re actually expanding the practice. That’s another investment, just investing back into the business and being able to bring in more doctors to provide more services to our community. It’s just shifted quite a bit toward abundance with investments at this point. At the beginning, it wasn’t that way. It was not.

Even though you had funds in the bank, there was a hesitation to make any decisions. When did that change in your minds, where you felt like, “I think we can go ahead and make that investment”? What was the switch if you can pinpoint it?

I would say with that initial purchase of the quadplex, we felt very sure about it because it was with people we knew and trusted. It was with family members, but just jumping in, honestly, we had talked about it so much. We had looked at opportunities and never pulled the trigger. We were like, “You’ll never know until you try.” We knew we had the finances in the bank, and we were like, “Let’s give it a try.” It’s a very good, safe opportunity and space to be in. That was my experience with it.

I think with you too, there were ways like we did the investment worksheet with you of what a quality investment would be. I think that helped out a little bit, just built that confidence a little bit that everything will be okay as long as you believe in the investment and know where your values stand with it.

You gave us what we needed, our criteria for being able to make an investment, and that helped guide us.

Great point there. When we’re making important decisions, whether it’s an investment decision or whether it’s like whether or not to go on a trip, or if you’re upgrading your house, or if you’re changing locations, I found a really useful tool is to identify clearly what you absolutely must have in that situation. What is the ideal situation and bullet-point that out? Then, what are the “nice-to-have” things? What would be just bonuses? If we could get this too, it’d be awesome.

Making Life-Altering Decisions for Family

We create our own personalized set of criteria, and then we can filter things, which then does what? Brings up the confidence. The knowledge, the vision that we’ve created brings up the confidence so the decision can be made much more quickly and with a strong likelihood of success. I’m curious about a couple of other things before we wrap up. Shannon, you made a big decision as a part of your life goals. Tell our listeners a little bit about what you chose to do.

About three years ago, after we had had our third kid and were a couple of years into owning the dental office, we decided that I would quit my job and help Cory out more with the business. Leaving my almost ten-year nursing career was a big decision, but we really were in the space where I always say we were ships passing in the night. He had his work thing, I had mine. We had three very young kids. Something had to give to give us more peace of mind, the home life that we always wanted, less stress. That was the given with that. Even in his free time or on the weekends, he was bookkeeping, answering emails, running errands, or doing things.

There are always things that come up with a small business that you own. Me stepping away from work was able to help him a lot with all of that, and then that snowballed into just me being able to understand everything he was going through, the stressors of being a business owner and things like that I hadn’t really even known were going on, just being so busy myself. That really just got us on the same page. It definitely improved our family life, our home life.

He’s able to just focus on the dentistry a little more as opposed to all the admin-type stuff that I’m able to help with. Weekends are now more free time, family time, versus him being at the computer and me being stressed out alone with the kids or whatever. We’re able to be together on the same page a lot more. It’s just been huge.

I remember vividly the 2, 3, or 4 conversations we had as you prepared for that and went through to make sure that the financial reserves were in place in case the business revenue wasn’t consistent for whatever reason. We did a little bit of a worst-case scenario to make sure that the timing of things would be okay, and then there’s just that leap of faith.

The True Wealth of Time Over Money

There’s a lot of people listening to this who might be considering, “I’d like to be able to be home with my kids,” or, “I’d like to have more time,” but they feel the burden of always having to produce another dollar, save up more money. The future is never going to arrive, that future of being able to be at home or to stop working at some point. Removing money from the situation, what was it about? Why did that become so important to you guys to make that decision?

When you hear the word “wealthy,” most people think wealthy with money, but the biggest wealth for us is time. That really just opened up a lot more time. I can do a lot of the housework, groceries, meal prep, things like that during the day. We have time in the evenings to just be together, be with our kids, and focus on them. We’re a lot more wealthy with our time, and that’s just as important.


That’s great. Cory, anything to add to that?

I think we discussed that in the beginning. I was always worried about missing time with my family. I didn’t want to get to an old age in life and regret not having the time with my family and spending that quality time together. When Shannon was able to help us out with the business and move on from nursing, it was like, “We do get that quality time.” I don’t feel like I’m missing out on things. It’s really important. You can’t put a price tag on that.

I bring back this key phrase I often use, and that is that personal finance has to become personal. It’s not the way I do it that matters. It’s not that you have the best way of doing it. It’s not that the next person has the best way of doing it, but we have to align the financial decisions in our lives around what we value as individuals. As in the case of married couples, as a couple. There’s unity in that, there’s a joint vision for the future that allows for these types of decisions to be made at the right timing, when it becomes a high enough priority.

With that third child, I think that was the big clincher for you, as in, “We really have some commitments here.” It seemed to me that for you guys, it was a high enough value and became a priority at that point where the decision needed to be made. You guys did it, and it’s worked well for you. I would suggest to anyone listening to this who has similar decisions to be made, whether that’s an employment change from one job to another, maybe a new skill development needs to happen, maybe you need to go back to school, maybe you need to hire a coach to help you work through something, or maybe there’s a business opportunity on the cusp where a decision needs to be made.

When you’re clear on the financial situation, it makes it much easier to make those decisions with confidence. I’ve seen it over and over and over again with my clients. It just happens faster, is what I’ve noticed. That’s why I call it the Wealth Acceleration Podcast. When we do these things, it’s almost like the magnet of what we’re looking for in our life gets stronger, or perhaps things get out of the way. We’re able to have those things come into our life much faster. I’ve shared this probably with you guys, but when I first made a really important business decision, I was doing an undergraduate degree at the University of Utah, and it was focused on entrepreneurship and business.

It almost just felt like something I was supposed to do. The high school degree wasn’t enough, and so the college degree was the next thing in order to provide for my family. I did that and took about a five-year hiatus. I went and started doing some work in the space that I work in. I felt inclined to go and actually did a visioneering exercise called the ideal life vision, and on that popped up the idea of getting my MBA. I started to look, this was 2013, and immediately the opportunity showed up at a local college called Westminster College. It was a private school that had a really interesting program called a professional MBA. That was, sorry, not professional, but project-based.

There’s typically a professional, which is you’re working. You’re doing it at night, and then there’s an executive MBA, where you typically do it on weekends. There’s this really unique approach to project based, which was a hybrid. We had one day on-site at the school, and then we had a PhD professor who was heading up that semester’s work. I was like, “This is really interesting. This might work out,” and then I looked at the price tag, and I’m like, “$50,000? What? I don’t have $50,000 to go to school. How am I going to do this?” I just had that impression that this was important, and it kept coming back to me, “You need to do this.”

I started to find ways to do it, and I found loans that were available to graduate students. I actually found a tax-free, interest-free loan from a private citizen. I want to seed legacy as we wrap up here. I don’t know if you guys have thought through this much, but I know we did an exercise where you set a plan for age 45. As you get closer to that, you’ll be thinking about what 65 looks like and what 95 looks like. I just had my 21-year anniversary a couple of weeks ago. We did some visioneering for our next twenty years. Somebody else I came across during this decision in 2013 was a woman named Evelyn Schwartz. She had passed on, but she was in Texas and she was a businesswoman.

She had some car dealerships and things that produced some wealth. I guess she didn’t have kids or something, but she had set up a trust, a foundation called the Evelyn Schwartz Trust Fund for Education. I came across this in some research, applied for it, and was able to get several tens of thousands of dollars to support what I was up to. It was an interest-free loan. I had never in my life come across something like that, but it was like an answer to prayer for me.

I felt this impression I needed to pursue this. It had come up in my vision-written exercise about my educational side of my life, and then things fell in line. But had I not done that work, similar to what you guys had been doing, the decision would not have been able to be made. I probably would have pushed off and I don’t know what to do. My whole point here is that as far as acceleration goes, I did that in eighteen months, $50,000. When I got done, I looked at all the education I’d received, and I realized I could have got it for free online. Universities were producing the same type of content and books available on the same topics. I could have done it all for free.

I lamented for a minute, “Did I seriously just do that? Did I really just spend $50,000 to go through that program? That was a waste.” That was one momentary thought that crossed my mind. I went, “No, it wasn’t. I would have never done that level of education that quickly had I not paid the price.” When we pay for something, we pay attention to it. We get it done faster. That’s what got my mind thinking about what I would call this podcast when I finally launched it, it was that acceleration process. When we choose into something big, which may be coaching, maybe formal education, or it may be just a conversation with a spouse or friend about something that’s important to you, things start to happen faster.

Final Thoughts on Coaching and Personal Growth

Let’s wrap up there. If there’s any parting thoughts on anything that you feel like you wanted to share that we haven’t discussed, any insights you had, any other ahas, or perhaps for those listening who are on the fence about deciding if they want to work with somebody like me, what would be your parting thoughts?

I’d say, if finances are important to you, get a coach for it. As Wade said, it does speed up the process dramatically and gets you the comfort and the confidence that you need with your finances. Get a coach for anything in your life. Me, as a dentist and a business owner, I have a dental coach aside from Wade. Shannon and I work out, and I’m not where I want to be. I’ve actually been researching into getting a coach for my health and making sure I stay on track with that too. Any aspect of your life, I’d say if you need help or you want to accelerate or get to where you want to get, a coach is the way to go without a doubt.

 

You’re really just investing in yourself.

You’re not investing in that person, you’re investing in you. I think that’s what’s scary for some people as well. Will they really get the most out of it? Do they believe in themselves enough that they will do the work to get the results they’re looking for? It’s almost irrelevant who the coach is, honestly. You could talk to a lamppost, for that matter. “I’ve got this vision,” and pretend they’re talking back to you. There’s something really valuable about just making that decision.

What I have personally found, what many of my peers have found, and what you guys have found is that when you pay for something, you pay attention to it. There’s a personal commitment and investment in self. It’s really life-changing and speeds up the results you’re looking for. Thanks so much for spending this time with me and sharing your experience with the listeners of this podcast. You guys are awesome. I hope you have a great rest of your day and your trip to Disneyland is awesome.

Thanks so much. We appreciate everything.

You’re great.
