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!

HUGE THANK YOU to @Nick Roberts and @Marcus Karl for this candid interview. They did NOT sugar coat or gloss over the Bad or the Ugly of this auction. Spoiler alert: Everyone still had fun and $174,000 in sales with $50,000 cash collected. This started on a Facebook profile! There are HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS of creators and influencers with 5,000 or less followers on their FB profiles, Insta, YT channels, Email lists, X, Pinterest and SKOOL COMMUNITIES that could... Use the same EXACT method that Nick and Marcus did. And it doesn't have to be perfect. Why? Because the auction format is SO FORGIVING! Let's make this a LEARNING thread and ASK any questions you may have! Rooting For Ya, Travis PS At the end... I gave them a tip to bring in another $100k. In ONE WORD. Then I showed them how to cash flow this for $1 million. PPS If you got anything out of this interview and breakdown, please drop some appreciation for Markus and Nick. They really gave this their all and went into detail!

You can always do FIRST COMMENT WINS contest! Just did that in my group. Still ended up with 30 comments. LOL. I needed someone to break some custom GPTs before I put them behind a paywall in my group... Asset Alchemist Offer Outlaw So I ran the contest to find that person. There's nothing like having fun in a group!

After seeing my Auction Heroes crank out one six figure auction after another… I’m getting more questions about auctions: 👉 Will an auction work for my community or business? 👉 What would I auction? 👉 Do I have to be on camera and become an auctioneer? 👉 What if the auction ends with a super low bid? 👉 Can I run an auction on my email list? FB profile? Insta? X? YT channel? I’m considering doing an Ask Me Anything (AMA) on Auctions. Where I’d answer all those questions. And brainstorm with folks on what they could auction off for 5 or 6 figures in 24 hours or less. If I put on an Auction AMA… Would you come? Lemme know by posting your auction question 👇. You can steal one of the one’s from above. If I get enough interest I’ll make it happen. If not… I’m gonna rewatch The Shield or Breaking Bad! Rooting for Ya, Travis
