I’ve read almost every popular personal finance book. And some unpopular ones too. I think most of the authors mean well. But… For most business owners… Especially internet based biz owners… Most of the personal finance rules RUIN a biz person’s chance at true financial independence. This is why… …even though biz owners make more than the average, they often don’t have much to show for it except higher levels of stress, family discord and health issues. So… I thought maybe? It might be useful to dissect some of the “popular” personal finance philosophy. Rules? Or Ruin? If this would be helpful… Sound off by sharing a common piece of personal finance you were “taught.” 👇 Rooting for Ya, Travis PS The “rule” that I followed which semi-retired me at 38, I’ve never found in a personal finance book!

UPDATE: Auction won by @Nathan Edelen! Bids start at $1 This is a FLASH auction... Which means it may be over in minutes. I duuuuunnnnno? Put your best bids in NOW! You are bidding for the ownership of starter community all set up and with MEMBERS: ✅130 Members who are influencers in the personal finance/retirement space. ✅The members have YT channels with up to 1000s of subscribers each. One member has one of the best selling Retirement books on Amazon. (they are RABID buyers too.) ✅Professional cover photo, icon and A GREAT NAME is already set up. ✅The classroom already has great content. ✅The niche is easy to target and invite to the group. In fact, there's prior research on 1100+ potential members. ✅💥There are dozens of ways to monetize, but one of the strongest is that sponsors and advertisers in this space pay some of the biggest $$$ to get in front of this niche. (Depending on how many views, financial companies pay up to $50,000 per video to get their ads in front of people serious about personal finance and retirement planning.) This would save a new owner weeks, if not months. 💚Ownership will be transferred immediately upon payment. Skool makes it SUPER EASY to transfer. Rooting For Ya, Travis 🗣️FAQ: Q: When does the auction end? A: I will comment, "Going once" "Going TWICE" and if nobody jumps in before I say "SOLD"... then the gavel has dropped and we are finito! Q: is this auction for realz? A: YES! Let's have fun, but this is a binding auction. If someone makes a bid, they must be ready to HONOR it. If they don't honor it, I will never forget it.

One of the most useful questions of my life for focus, productivity and peace: 👉 Whose business am I in? Byron Katie says there are only three kinds of business: Your business. Their business. God’s business. Now… Back to my business! Rooting for Ya, Travis

PARTICIPATION BIDS can still win👇👇👇 Before you can haz all the sales you want... You gotta haZ LEADS! The other day... I shared the big secret to why I always have more leads than I can handle... 👉IOIs- I get Indicators of Interest FIRST. I shared ONE WAY to get IOI's. But there are several ways to get IOIs. One of my FAVORITES is Invisible IOIs. Where they don't even know you're getting an IOI and they don't even NEED to respond. That's why TODAY starting at 1 PM CENTRAL... We're having our first... 🏁EVERYONE CAN WIN (ECW) Auction Up for auction: 💥 Zoom FUN-Shop where I will get IOIs and turn them into LEADS on Zoom while you're watching. We'll brainstorm and get IOIs and leads for you if you want! We may even share beer! 🍻DRINKING CONTEST for every lead? 😅 Here's how our ECW Auction works: Bidding starts at $1. Bid amounts can only increase $10 max at a time. (You can increase bids less than $10, but $10 max so the auction stays fun!) 👀There is a SECRET RESERVE AMOUNT👀 If the RESERVE AMOUNT is hit. ✅EVERYONE who bids gets a ticket for the RESERVE AMOUNT (EVEN if the winning bid is MORE!) ❌If the RESERVE AMOUNT is NOT hit, then the highest bidder takes the whole enchilada. (So, they'd get a private 1:1 with me.) 🕐WHEN: START: NOW! END: ??? (When I think we've topped off.) ⚠️⚠️How will we know you're not gonna change the SECRET RESERVE AMOUNT? I'm glad ya asked! 😀 I've attached a password-protected PDF... ...download it now. Inside the PDF It is a picture of ONE United States currency note. HINT: It's ONLY ONE BILL Is it $1? Is it $5 Is it $10? Is it $20? Is it $50? Is it $100? $2? 😅 Could be any one of those, but it's ONLY ONE! AFTER the last bid in the auction... I will announce the PASSWORD…which will reveal the secret reserve amount. NOTE: I can't change it after you've downloaded the PDF! If the reserve is hit, you can get in on the Leads on Demand Fun-shop for the RESERVE AMOUNT. Make sense? 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
