Please wish a very happy birthday to our very own @Matt Wedan!! Appreciate ya coach 💪

I mentioned in the poll from yesterday that my favorite way was NOT in the list of choices. Don't get me wrong...I love trading/stock investing, I love building businesses and plan to add real estate to my asset portfolio down the road. I even love crypto and the returns it can generate. All these assets can be great...(unless you lack my favorite...) My FAVORITE way to build wealth is through... ✅Income producing SKILLS Yep. Skills/investing in your knowledge is absolutely the highest return way to build wealth. In fact I would argue a "lack of the right skills" is the biggest reason for the growing wealth gap in America. Most people have skills that would make them successful....in a 1985 world. But today we live in the digital age, and in this age you're either going to make more money than you ever thought possible...or you're going to get left painfully behind. Let's talk through some examples... - Many of you listed real estate as your favorite way to build wealth. I get it, everybody LOVES to talk about how great real estate is. And to be fair, it can be a tremendous asset. But if you don't know what you're doing how much wealth do you think you're going to build with real estate? (Spoilers...probably none. Most likely scenario is you lose money). The people that make money with real estate either create a business out of it, or have enough capital to find and negotiate the best deals. Both of these things require skill first. Same thing with trading/stock investing. If you don't truly have the skill, you'll lose money. If you do, it can be the greatest asset in the world. It's the SKILL that is the separator...not the asset. Now compare this to my current situation: - I've learned to trade - I've learned the ins and outs of stock investing - I've learned all about insurance - I understand how to build an online business - I know how to sell - I know how to market If everything went to 💩 tomorrow I have at least half a dozen ways to quickly start making 5-figs a month again.

Bonus points if you share the first things you’d spend it on 💸 I’ll save my answer for the end…it’s not on the list 😉

Here’s some weird things about me. Hopefully they can inspire you: - I was impossibly shy up until I graduated college. Never felt comfortable in any crowd. I was an athlete, would go all out on the field…but also a super nerd. Never went to parties, would rather go home and play final fantasy lol. - Trading and financial planning were not my first career choice. I actually went to college to be an accountant like my dad. 60k in student loans later realized that wasn’t for me. - I was divorced in my late 20s. Really forced me to look inward and focus on becoming the best version of myself. What you see now is the result of that, but I still probably have some fears around maintaining relationships because of it. Point is, I’m definitely not perfect. But I do have 100% confidence in myself and what I can do now. That’s all you need to change your life. I’m enough… You’re enough.
