The Importance of Having God-directed Investments
So far on the Solomon Investor show, we’ve introduced the first two dimensions of our 3-Dimensional Investment Framework. With your net worth activated, protected, and set up in a way that produces cash flow, there’s only one thing left for us to consider. In order to achieve long-term success with your investments, you need to make sure that they are all God-directed.
This episode is dedicated to the last dimension, which ties the whole model together. In it, we’re going to explain what we mean when we use the term God-directed. Once again, we’re going to reflect on the story of King Solomon and define crucial takeaways that guide our investment-related decisions.

- Today we'll be revealing the third dimension, in the Solomon way, it's what gave King Solomon sustainable wealth and allowed him to become the only trillionaire, you and I know, if you want sustainable wealth, this podcast begins now. This is a Solomon investor podcast, my name is Blake Templeton CEO of Boron Capital, my co-host Zachary Morrow, VP of Investor Relations. This podcast, this episode is what ties it all together, we now we talk through the three dimensions, the three dimensions are so important, it's what no other investment in the public market have, what most investments in the real estate market have and without these three dimensions, you can't have sustainable wealth and you will fail. Today we're talking about the third dimension, powerful and without it, everyone is doomed for failure.
- Wow well definitely very important, without it nothing else matters, I mean that's what it boils down to right?
- Yeah, the third dimension is actually being God-directed, now what do we mean by that? Again let's go back to the beginning, Solomon King Solomon, the ancient principles, he actually was directed by God in his investments, now this is not to get super spiritual and be full of spiritual woowoo, phoo phoo, this is actually dealing with discretion and wisdom of where you invest, how you invest, how it's protected, how it's claralised, who's actually running the show and they've got to be able to influence it, the reality is if your investments, are not actually ran with Solomon's principles, you won't have a three dimensional investment, so that God directed what that really means is, is whoever is the platform, whatever is actually the platform, for running the investment, they've got to be able to influence it, they've got to be able to control it and they've got to be able to actually walk in godly wisdom, godly wisdom to direct it, I'll give you some stories back in our business, how this has played out and every investment that we actually buy, like we actually want to hear peace from God in it, I mean we have atheists, who invested this all the time, they're like man I don't really buy into, the spiritual stuff that you talk about but I invest all my money with you because just in case everything you just say is true, I want it to be God directed, I want to actually my investments to be blessed and the reality is look it's not that we're perfect everything all was sitting straight, it's just that we listen to his voice, we actually prioritize his voice over the public market, allowing the emotions of the roller coaster of everyone else to dictate the value of the investment.
- Yeah and it all comes back to Solomon's principles right, so as the story goes, in history when the Lord came to Solomon he asked him, he told Solomon you can have one thing, what do you want to ask for? And what Solomon asked for was not the riches not the trillion-dollar Empire not the Kingdom but he asked for wisdom, he wanted godly wisdom and it all stemmed from there.
- And that's like capacity to be able to ask for that, that's what was stewarded, so God saw that value, God saw that he actually had, the ability as steward financial gain and when God gave him wisdom, that allowed him to walk into so much wealth, you and I actually can see today, that he's the only trillionaire. History shows us that he would actually be worth, over two trillion dollars in today's money, like that's not a company, that's not like an Apple or a Google or the Mammoth or they've got ten or fifteen companies under one entity, under one umbrella. Now this is a dude who actually, surrendered everything to God so like, the three dimensions is so important because that's what stands a test of time, when the emotional rollercoaster isn't actually functioning in the middle of all the chaos in the public sector, in the middle of all the chaos on Earth, you're protected, your hedged, your collateralized the platform whoever you're investing through I mean it could be you, you could go do this yourself but it's not, whoever is actually running your investment, whoever you're all lining with in your investments, they've got to be God directed.
- Yeah and it's funny we've heard it said, a couple times where people are saying, look oh my gosh run for the hills, somebody's talking about the Lord, when they're talking about money right and the truth is why would you not combine, your relationship with the Lord, being God directed into your finances right, it's the understanding that everything is stewardship right, so you're stewarding for Him, well therefore why wouldn't he be the direction, in which you moved.
- That's a great point man, it would be the idea that money's dirty, so like you go do your dirty acts and then you like take your hat off and you go into Church into your arms whatever, like no it's like God created money, God wants you to steward money, God wants you to live for purpose bigger than yourself and he would never want you to put money, into one's hands that aren't directed by him because everyone has a desire or a means to get to something of their own desire, so if you put your money in the hands of the public market, we'll just call it the centralized system, we've talked about as so many times, it's like the casino, the house always wins, they have an agenda and their agenda is not for you to win and so when it's tied to everyone else's emotions, you know in our investments, we actually process from the mindset, that we wouldn't actually go into an investment, unless we felt God's peace in it and like hearing peace, hearing from the Lord on a direction, hearing for why we're doing something here, that allows us to get out of our own understanding, like we wouldn't want to lean on our understanding, just like you wouldn't want to lean on your own understanding, you want to actually say, okay God's like stewarded this inside of me, God's given me this, I now want to actually keep that rolling, I don't want to mess that up, I want to actually continue to build steward more money and the reality is, is you've got to be in a three dimensional investment, it's got to be outside of the public market, it's got to be activated, you got to activate that money by taking control of it, taking it from the public market, putting it into the private market, then you got to protect it put in collateralization, then you've got to create cash flow and all of those three steps, have got to be in a God directed investment.
- Yeah and what Blake's describing right here is the framework for activating your net worth but it's also the framework for stewardship, if you're going to be stewarding your money wisely, you would take back control of it, you would not set it and forget it and just hope it gets better, bury your head in the sand and say it's going to go up and down, like I just got to ride the roller coaster, no you would take an active position, in managing your finances, in partnering with the right people and understanding the right things, in taking the time to understand, how to wisely steward and you would take back control, you would protect your investments and then you would cashflow them, why? Because it's why stewardship and it's doing the right thing with what you've been given to steward.
- It makes it really interesting, when it comes into a time like this, like with the unprecedented year in 2020, completely unprecedented, the craziness, the volatility, all the different things that are happening, that's when it actually counts, see you might be able to lean on your own understanding, when the markets all going uphill, when everything that's in the public market and stock market is actually doing well, you can lean on your own understanding, you can actually have your projections, based on the how could you lose but it's actually when time gets tough, you know it's like the idea that you're most full of what you're most full of is going to come out, when you get squeezed, so if your most full of your own understanding or even worse if the stock market or wherever your money's invested, if that has a mind of its own and whatever the emotions are going on, you would have a really hard time like trusting it because it's not for you and you know 14 years, 300 plus transactions later in Boron Capital, like that's what makes this thing so rich is not one single investor has lost money.
- Right and it's the Solomon way right and at Boron Capital, we practice the Solomon way, that's why we're here together right now, so that you can understand what this Solomon way is, and Solomon started with godly wisdom and from there he walked out that wisdom and produced massive wealth and stewarded it for the glory of God, I mean what did he say in the end of it all right, the conclusion of the matter, you know it.
- The conclusion of the matter is this fear God and keep his Commandments and without that fear man I'll take you back in my life, like there was a season in my life, when it was truly I desired stuff for me, I desired stuff for my identity and my worth and I didn't really care about anyone else, I'm like I only want to get mine and God like brought me in this place back in 2007, into this position of fearing the Lord, where I remember exactly where I was standing and it was this like heaviness of if you do this one more sin this is what's going to happen and I tied that back into investments because like disciplines bleed into other disciplines, I then began to have like a true like hatred for evil, like true pure desire to hear his voice, like to align with him and that's what all of our investments have got to be like, if he's the King of Kings who actually created, the stewardship of money, he created money, he created the foundation of all the things we have, we go back to the key principles of Solomon, if everything in purpose came from him and you and I if you're doing the the 50, 50, 50, you've worked 50 hours a week for 50 weeks for 50 years and now we're going to put this somewhere, oh my goodness you'd want to actually steward it in such a way that it's going to be sustainable and you'd have it forever.
- Yeah and having forever is the wisdom, it's not just about your money you keeping it, it's not about health, wealth and prosperity, it's not about the blessings raining down, it's about understanding that you have an active position, you have a responsibility, you have a duty to take care of the things, you've been given and you've been stewarded and have been entrusted to steward and that's what Solomon understood first and foremost was to steward and keep the Lord first and then to walk in his wisdom, regardless of the ups and downs in the market, regardless of what was happening elsewhere in the world, he stood by the Lord first and then from that position he walked out, walked out the principles of tangible assets, he walked out the principles of business right, the first dimension of a good investment is to have that tangible collateral right, if you missed that episode, you need to go back and listen to it because no Solomon investor would ever, move into an investment, where they didn't have that fully collateralized position and then two having that business operations, where they have the profits and the control and the cash flow and then three the principles are great but without that godly wisdom, you're missing the key ingredient of the recipe, that ties it all together.
- Yeah I want to go back and tell a story, back in the Old Testament, you got Joseph with the coat of many colors and you know the story, you know he had 10 brothers and he actually goes through this process, he's brothers get jealous they throw him in a pit, he ends up getting sold as a slave and to Potiphar and long story short, he works his way up into trust with Potiphar and ends up going to prison because Potiphar's wife tries to come on to him sexually, he says no, she spins the story now he's in prison, okay fast forward, he's in there for two years, now this is where being God directed really matters, like you been in there for two years, like life gets real, it's a Earthies real problem here but he has his opportunity, to interpret the dreams of Pharaoh, the one who has all the power and he hears from God, he interprets the dreams correctly, Pharaoh then raises him in second command, now this is crazy because this is now, there's a platform and then now he steps into that platform and actually being God directed, takes control of everything that Pharaoh had, minus the actual throne, he had full control, the ability to make the things happen and this is where it went into this seven years of abundance then seven years of famine and part of the interpretation, of the dream that he had God directed got heard, you know in this interpretation is that, he was then be putting money back, 20% for those set of seven years, so that when the famine came and everyone was hurting, they had all the wealth to then give, leave impact and legacy steward but then go buy up and then bring people in to actually work for them and create massive ownership and the realization is in stories like this, like that's the impeccable timing of like an unprecedented time at Solomon investors right now inside our company, the Solomon investors, they're resting while they invest, it's crazy right now in the stock market, it's crazy right now in the bank market. The bank market, let's talk about the centralized banking system, the centralized banking system is so volatile, we've gotten under 0% interest and then we've said you know what, I know we're doing that fractionalized reserve thing, where if there's a dollar in the savings or if there's a dollar in the depository in the bank, you can lend out nine, forget that, you don't have to have any money tied to it, you can lend out limitless fractionalized reserve money.
- Can I jump in here I want to simplify this for a second, this an important point and one I appreciate the Joseph's story because at the time that was a world power and the world power who essentially owned everything, still needed the wisdom of the Lord to survive and so again key ingredient, so remember that one but as far as the the reserve rates, so understand what are we told? Put your money in the stock market, it gets turned into digits, put the money in the bank system what happens? Gets turned into digits, I don't know if everybody's aware but you should be aware that when you deposit dollars into the bank, though it's just like the Casino, those dollars immediately disappear they turn into digits or like chips in the Casino and then they then loan those out or go invest those, however they so choose. Now historically they had to have a liquidity, meaning like if they had $100 in deposits right, 100 people put a dollar in the bank right and these are those individual accounts, so they got a hundred dollars in the accounts, well historically you had to keep, anywhere from you know 2% to 5% or you know higher at some points recently about two to five of those dollars at least had to be held in reserve right, we still have some of the deposits because of what's shifted the Federal Reserve has reduced that rate to zero, meaning that every single dollar, that has been deposited in the bank, can now be lent out elsewhere and be spent. Zero, all the dollars that means, that they don't have to have any dollars on hand, meaning the only way that you get your money back right, historically if people went to the banks right, it's just like stock market, if people went to the banks and wanted to get out their money, if just 2% previously or 5% showed up and said, hey I want my cash, it's not there, what do they do? They'd have to borrow it, borrow digits from somebody else, so now it's just the system, where it's digits being passed around and your dollars aren't there, again you have to gain control of your money, it is unprecedented time where, they no longer have to have any checks and balance, they can loan every single dollar out.
- And so not only can they lend every single dollar out, it's unlimited amount that are being limped out, now you and I think about that for a second, if our money is in the bank, everyone can't go to the bank and pull their money out 'cause there's not enough money in there, same as the stock market, if everyone took their money out of the stock market, it's not all there, there's only 1.7 trillion in total circulation of physical physical dollars, real money, however there's 34 trillion inside the stock market, what does that really mean? It just means it's so pumped full of air, there's so much inflation, it's not on real value, it's on fake price and so this is like when you see, the roller coaster in the market, you've got to call a timeout, you've got to realize like what is going on is solely based on Earthly emotions and that Earthly emotions is in control of your retirement, if it's in the market.
- And that's why going back to the second dimension cash flow, if you're not getting your cash out of these things, if it's not paying you back tangibly, it's just digits on a screen and the system just keeps passing digits, from one place to another to keep the system moving right, so you have to have investments, that pay you back that have realized gain, you have to have your money in a tangible asset, that's collateralizing it, where there's dollars to be had.
- And going back to just like the biblical principles again, this is not to get too spiritual but the realization is it's like, stories are impactful right, stories mean something, stories are tangible it's like a real testimony and you know when the markets volatile, we might actually be thinking, you know Earthly minded people might be thinking, let's shrink back, let's constrict but if we hear the Lord saying, no, stay cash strong for a minute and then as stuff goes down, as businesses can't function or they are being able to be purchased at a higher price or I'm assuming at a little price, go in and buy those up, that's how this thing works when you can hear from the Lord, the platform who's investing your money, it didn't have to be you but whoever investing your money, they've got to actually go in and hear from the Lord, that's how big wealth is made, that's how you get to be, investing the same way that the Warren Buffett's of the world are investing, they're doing it in the public market but he's actually putting in billions and billions and taking over all the shares, so he can't majority share and then have a semi-way to control it but what if you could actually, do that in the private sector? What if you could actually come in and now, he didn't have a three dimensional investment unfortunately, he has a two dimensional investment, so good on you but what about a three dimensional investment, where when the poop hits the fan like it is now, 38% is loss you actually can come in not take a loss because you're in the private sector, your hedged, your collateralized and then actually know when we advance and we take territory, when we go in, when offense not the defense, when we actually can go take more territory and build sustainable wealth.
- Yeah and you've made a key point, in a three-dimensional world, it's never defensive because whether you're pulling money out of the market, to go three-dimensional, it's not about defense, it's about moving into the right lane, so you're always going to be on offense, so even when you're hedging risk, when you're driving in protection, you are offensively, actively controlling, so defense is about just trying to hold it back and try to make sure it doesn't come to you, offense is about taking authority over your domain, taking control over your portfolio in this case and putting it to work in a way, where it is three-dimensional, where it has a tangible asset, where it's combined with a business that has production and then where it is God directed, where you're moving forward, on those ancient biblical principles, that Solomon built his two trillion dollar Empire.
- Right, you know we see all the time because as clients come in and they've been on that 50 week, so you have 50 hours, for 50 weeks, for 50 years, you start losing a purpose, you start losing impact, you start losing legacy.
- Disconnected.
- It's not just because you've been working your whole life but it's also because your money's been in the public market you haven't seen it, you disconnected from what it could actually do for you and we see all the time people coming in to us, in that situation, they're like man I feel like, the T-Rex with like no arms, I don't know what to do, you know I've just got retired and my money is still there and I don't know what to do and the realization is that we believe that your credit for a legacy, for future purpose, for passion, for zeal, like the God's not done with you yet, like the realization is that, you are to protect your family more, you're to be on the offense not the defense, you're to literally stand up and own your domain, like the realization is no matter how much money you got, it's now time to go put that to work, it's time to go build a legacy and as a Solomon investor, Solomon investors actually realize, you get out of the public market, you put it into the private market, you've activated it now you have control of it 'cause you've come into an alignment with a platform that actually does this for you, then you actually protect it and collateralize it, we put a business inside the land, they run separate but now they're inside one another and they're hedged, hedged from all the craziness and then you cashflow that thing and that's when purpose and legacy and passion, gets really exciting. When I was talking about you know there are investors, they like I don't what to do, like I don't know my purposes anymore, why? 'Cause their purpose previously was their job, their J-O-B but the realization is come on man, that wasn't your actual purpose for life, that was your purpose for a season, it's now time to go live legacy, well you can't go live legacy if you're still in fear, that your nest egg, that you've done, you're whole entire life's work for, is up in the balance, so that's why you've got to take ownership of it, that's why you got to put it into a platform, again you could do it yourself or you can put in a platform, that runs a three dimensional investment, that's God directed, so no matter the craziness, you rest while you invest and now it's time to go live, it's time to go live for impact and legacy.
- Activation like that just stands out to me, the activation living on offense, like it doesn't matter are you up in the market, good take your money out and go get three-dimensional, and activate your net worth are you down in the market? Good take your money off the table, leave the Casino, go activate your net worth and get into a three-dimensional asset. It doesn't matter where you're at, when it clicks and you gain control, now where you're putting your money, is often you can go invest into things, that actually have purpose and value behind them right, so now not only is going to provide that net income but you can go and put your money, in things that you believe in, that they're creating an impact right, it's not money for money sig, money is a vehicle, money is an asset, a resource that allows you, to have impact, legacy and influence, like that's why you would do any of it right, we're thinking about your future, your family's future, your children, your grandchildren, you are creating an impact on a legacy and an example for them to be empowered and so today, we want to encourage you to be empowered where you're at and know that God's not done with you right and know that where you're at today is where you're at and you can gain control, you can gain control, you can go on the offense but you have to activate your net worth and you have to make a decision to stop being an outsider, to become an Insider and get in the game.
- Yeah it's so good, ah it's so good, like 14 years, 300 plus transactions, we have not had one Solomon investor loose money, like you got to weigh the weight of that, they're walking out there principals, resting while they invest, look listen if at this moment, you can actually call a timeout and just think, are my nest eggs is my net worth, in three dimensional investments? It's just a question and you can ask that question and you can answer yes, fantastic but if you answer no, we're calling you to take action and do something about it, like there's no better time than the present, when the pain is actually present don't try to get rid of it like the time is now, time to actually go do something, it's time to advance, it's time to realize, that there's a future that you can actually turn that thing into a cash flow. We want you to go to www.solomoninvestor.com/now solomoninvestor.com/now we've built a three-step system that brings you straight, into a three-dimensional investment, it keeps it short and simple, look this is not about making some massive bridge, to do some crazy thing, look we're taking baby steps here, you got to enter the 3-step system, you've got to enter into what we call, a three dimensional investment, again solomoninvestor.com/now, it's time for legacy, it's time for impact and it's time for purpose.
