on today's show the salad Habits of
Highly Effective People or not perhaps
we'll talk about something more
interesting like money instead
broadcasting live from studio X Scott
Alan Turner here thank you for tuning in
as always so glad to have you get a
question like answering the show email
is scott at scott allen turner calm its
scone day on the show scone day good
this recipe from scott so these are
scottish scones you listen to
yesterday's show i comment how terrible
american scones were I think I've had
two or three over my lifetime because I
always dryers are a brick and these I
made this morning from the recipe will
post it to the website later on today
maybe tomorrow so you can duplicate this
yummy goodness they actually came out
pretty equivalent to what I had overseas
how do you make more money as a question
I get asked a lot I think most people
are interested in probably making more
money at some point during their lives
the answer is add more value add more
value or create something of value is
the other option where do you get ideas
for something like that everywhere even
if you're an employee or you're an
employer this is the perfect example
right here the Scottish scone because
American scones are so terrible there's
a whole new industry here somebody could
just take up and make a decent tasting
scone and crush it that's what happened
years ago with the cupcake fad dippin
dots ice cream of the future today was
the same thing now we've got five guys
somebody took a terrible hamburger made
it better that franchisee is going crazy
Popeyes chicken sandwich which is all
over the news now
Business Insider when I was away on my
trip I was commenting on this to some of
our tour mates at dinner time
Business Insider one of the writers over
there did a photo by photo sequence it
was probably 30 or 40 different pictures
comparing the chick-fil-a chicken
sandwich to the new popeyes chicken
sandwich all the differences between hey
here's what the package looks like when
it's all wrapped up hey here's a picture
of me eating it holding in my hand and
even the wrapper is bad
when you open it up it's easier to eat
than the chick-fil-a sandwich very very
extensive well documented I can't speak
for the taste differences but the jury
is speaking to that out there there's a
shortage of Popeyes to chicken
sandwiches so they've made something
that was quite popular
chick-fil-a made it better getting a lot
of press about it adding more value and
it this particular one is indeed adding
more value it's about a buck cheaper
than chick-fil-a and they're crushing it
so a couple examples right there
American scones as I mentioned that
pitiful pitiful pitiful they have the
texture of a frozen piece of styrofoam
until now this recipe you can check it
out along with that I was thinking of
some people I think I don't cook I don't
know how to cook which remind me of a
story of one of the business people I
know fervor is successful it's got a
business that generates about 10 million
dollars plus per year in revenue has
between 40 and 50 employees one of his
comments was was time one time my wife
would really like me to cook that would
make her happy but I don't know how and
then I I scratch it my head money axe
when I hear statements of what do you
mean you don't know how go learn figure
it out no one knows how to cook till
they learned how to cook right no one
learns how to be a good employee until
you learn how to be a good employee some
of the comments I got on the trip from
other tour members as I mentioned
yesterday I don't know how to handle my
money I just want my adviser to do that
most people don't have advisors so no
matter your stage or age or your wage
you should at least have a small
interest in learning about your money
and getting better with that
and if you're not you spend some time
figuring that out if you don't know how
to cook you go out and figure out how to
cook especially if this particulars
person's situation want to make your
wife happy it don't take a whole lot of
time to throw together a grilled cheese
sandwich that tastes pretty good
this scone here okay I've been cooking
and baking for a number of years
I'm familiar with some of the things
that are going on in the instructions
probably took about 10 minutes to mix up
and I turn Erised it as well that's a
new word yes the recipe called for four
and I'm always thinking myself I can eat
four by myself and then we brought some
in for the crew it's some take home for
the crew as well as the Maddie Nia to
Gus um and I made them for the kids we
talked about hey we're making scones and
they get what's a scone oh it's kind of
like a bisque or kind of like a muffin
so I quadrupled the recipe that's that's
Turner izing it which is typically what
I do with any recipe I'm most double
tripling and just I'm Ike wanted it my
thought process was well the ingredients
cost about two bucks if I mix it up and
it's too much I'll just throw the rest
outside for the birds or something well
we end up cooking a mom throw some in
the freezer shared some and even if you
did not know how to make a sconed a
couple YouTube videos probably forgets
not about ten minutes I really didn't
even follow the recipe specifically just
cuz I have a little bit of experience
with baking so I changed it around a
little bit they still came out pretty
good
part of that was we were watching the
great british baking show last week the
guy who got kicked off will talk about
mother more during the break the guy who
got kicked off one of the mistakes he
made on the show was something that was
called for in this recipe and I decided
why I don't wanna do that mistake that
he made and so I kind of excluded it
yeah he still came out okay when we're
getting this demo over in Scotland for
the place that we were at the lady was
making mom and she did not do this step
that was in the recipe which this guy
did on the show he got booted off wasn't
the only reason he was a terrible Baker
he should have got booted off but I
again turn her eyes that tweaked it a
little bit tried it out if it failed I
would have probably tried again not
every recipe is success not everything
you do with your money is gonna be a
success
they'll be failures you keep trying okay
you saved a little bit and then
something came up the savings drained
that doesn't mean you quit saving good
example we watched the movie up this
weekend with my kids if you haven't seen
up it's a Pixar film Barry
cool movie it was very popular made a
lot of money right in the beginning of
the show there's this couple they got
married and they've got this coin jar
they're saving up to go on this big trip
one of their dream vacations so they're
putting all their spare change in this
coin jar it's got a label on a dream
trip or something along that lines and
then in the next picture you see all the
cars broken down it's got a spare tire
what happens smash smash they kill the
coin jar break it open they're gonna go
pay for a new car tire and that happens
a couple times in that first initial
sequence that's life that's what's gonna
happen you're gonna say if you're gonna
lose money and you start saving again
you invest you lost some money like I
did early on you start investing and
figure out how to do it the right way
markets gonna crash sometime coming up
has been on the horizon for the past
four years now you learn from that keep
investing build wealth more on that and
one of the later show something it's so
there was a great article out sometime I
was on vacation I bookmarked it and
we'll get into more about that what to
expect when the market is expected to go
down kinda like this you've got to be
prepared and learn from other situations
I was thinking of out in the country
road where one of our neighbors got oh
there's music we'll have to get to that
story back in a moment from the break
you listen to Scott Alan Turner we'll
get into some your questions when we get
back scones scone recipe be up on the
website test out your baking skills
