My name is David Pandone
…and I’ve been teaching people about things I know and love since I was still a student in high school myself. I started teaching at 16 with drum students who were just getting started and were much younger than I.
Teaching skills are my unique advantage.
I have taught students about music, photography, computers, business, and now that I have left the public education system, I’ve expanded into new and interesting areas. Each of those topics I have taught is complex and can be difficult to understand, and I was highly effective at helping my students understand them.
In light of the recent societal stresses of life in America post 2020, my interests have turned to preservation and recovery of the freedoms of the my fellow Americans. Among these is financial literacy, which empowers financially your freedom to do many things. From business strategies of Private Membership Associations, to recovery of our original hands-on self governance, to clearing entanglements of your private property, I’ve begun to untangle the many confusing and frustrating areas with which many of us struggle but for which few ever provide answers. It’s a challenging endeavor, but there hasn’t been a dull moment!
In the interest of “leading by example”, I’ve condensed my education and service activities into a PMA structure. You can read about that shift in detail on the “dpRE PMA” link in the menu.
While most of the new efforts are taking place on other websites, you can continue to find my education resources of books and online class content here on davidpandone.com.
Now, a little insight into my perspective and philosophy in how I’ve been helping clients with topics of financial growth and security over the past few years.
Here is what I think about wealth:
First, money is your stored work energy. When you are paid for work you have done, you have power to go trade your currency for something of value, like lunch!
When you have good financial habits, somewhere along the way you’ve learned that spending everything you earn can leave you without money you may need when the unexpected arises. Wealth is a personal matter of scale and can start as small as “lunch money for tomorrow”, because you don’t need it to survive today.
Second, If you choose not to spend all that you earn, you end up with a surplus, or extra money that you didn’t need to spend providing your living, or survival: a safe warm home, food in the fridge, and clean clear water to drink. When you have extra, or an abundance, this is wealth or “more than you need”. Having more than you need simply improves your quality of life which you might come to enjoy and want. Needs and wants; while each list is important, they are not the same.
Third, your wealth can change your world. Money you didn’t need to spend on survival or want to spend on your lifestyle is wealth, or an abundance. While some people in our current culture criticize those who accumulate wealth, your wealth can enable you to help people who cannot help themselves. The goals and projects that you choose to power with your own wealth are unique to you and those choices help to shape the person that you are!
Your stored work energy, your wealth, enables you to impact the world around you. The choices you make in applying your wealth, whether financial, time, knowledge, or some other abundance, speak volumes for your values and character. Don’t underestimate your ability to impact your world with your wealth; your abundance!
Once you have a wealth of money, you’ll likely also have an abundance of time and significant skills. Who will you choose to help or teach when your daily needs for survival are not your primary concern?
… a little food for thought.
