My 16 year old son started talking to a new girl recently
After several weeks of texts and calls he asked her what her dad’s number was
He straight up called her dad to ask if he could date her!
I’m so freakin proud of the young man he is becoming
He asked her out today
Saw a guy today I haven’t seen in years.
Went to give him a bro hug and he takes a step back for a fist bump.
Says “I’m fully vaxxinated but you can never be too careful”
Sad
I lost my cousin to suicide this week
Someone reading this right now needs to hear this so let me speak to you:
You matter, you have value, and you are loved
18 YO: How do I pay my bills?
Schools: Here are the state’s capitals.
18 YO: How do I start a business?
Schools: The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.
18 YO: How do I manage my money?
Schools: Christopher Columbus discovered America in 1492

Focus on building cashflow not accumulating to a big number. Cashflow can make you financially free faster than accumulating to a magical number that you may never reach.
A good way to check yourself on a big purchase is to ask yourself
“If no one ever knew I had this; would I still want it?”
Opting out of the status game is where you’ll find fulfillment
I just showed someone who had $0/mo in disposable income and $117,000 in consumer debt, how to be debt free in 37 months and have $3500/mo in disposable income
If this tweet gets 100 likes I’ll do a full video break down on exactly what we did to create this.
65% of millionaires in the US became wealthy as a business owner and only 10% from investments
The greatest statistical chance you have is to take control and start something
Use your creativity and find something you are passionate about
Do what you love!
My mom is getting married today. It’s been 9 years since we lost my dad to cancer. Grateful that God saw fit to bring a new man into her life. It’s going to be a good day.
Proud dad moment:
My youngest son just called me. He was upset because he just got cut from the basketball team.
After talking him thru it he said “Dad, can you open up the gym at the church tonight so I can go to work?”
Absolutely bud

Here's the truth:
Millionaires are millionaires because of their habits
Athletes are athletes because of their habits
Professionals are professionals because of their habits
You'll never ""make it"" in one small win,
You'll make it with many small wins every day.
This bears repeating:
You are always being interviewed
—it could be a potential friendship
—it could be a business partnership
—it could be a romantic relationship
—it could be a job interview
Treat people well
You never know when your next “promotion” is coming
My sons will know how to treat a woman because of how I treat their mom
My daughters will know how to be treated because of how I treat their mom
I’m a rich man and it has nothing to do with my bank account
I’m blessed with an incredible wife and great kids
Life is good 😎
If you follow me you hear this a lot:
Jim Rohn said everyone experiences two pains in life; the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. Discipline weighs ounces; regret weighs tons
Discipline is easy compared to the consequences of inaction
Most people’s lives would change with an extra $500 or $1000 a month
Don’t get hung up on needing to hit 6 figs to be happy
Get small wins
Small wins make BIG wins possible
Think Longterm:
Most problems are derived from the microwave mentality that people carry
Food out of the oven tastes a whole lot better than food from the microwave
Delayed gratification can produce sustained satisfaction
Teach your kids:
-Life isn't fair
-If you want something go get it
-Not to apologize for being good at something
-Not to be offended when people have different opinions
-Not to complain
And basically everything that triggers the average American adult.
I went to college for business and finance. Nothing I teach now I learned in school
Jim Rohn said:
Formal education will make you a living
Self education will make you a fortune
78% of NFL players are broke after 2 years of leaving the league
60% of NBA players are broke after 5 years
Money is not the issue—it’s the growth and education that is required to manage it properly
CASHFLOW > NETWORTH
There are a lot of BROKE people that are “worth” a lot of money🤔🤔🤔
Your money needs to be in motion not sitting still
Why? Because it gets stronger just like a muscle
A lot of money with the wrong philosophy will make you broke
A little money with the right philosophy will make you wealthy
A lot of money with the right philosophy will make you elite
Aerial and ground view of my 23 acres I bought recently
This will be the spot where I build next year
My new house will have a gym to workout and a garden to grow food among other things
We will be as self sufficient as possible
Never apologize for investing in yourself.
-When you train, people will envy your body
-When you learn, people will envy your mind
-When you invest, people will envy your money
-When you win, people will envy your success
The guilt is not on you, it’s all on them.
Bought each my little girls new dresses for Christmas with a note that says
“Will you go on a date with me?
Love,
Daddy”
I will continue to model for them how they should expect to be treated
Ready to have your complete paradigm flipped on money?
Learn what becoming your own banker means and how powerful you become thru the process
You won’t have the same thoughts on money going forward
“Daddy! Can you come help me wash my hair?” (from my baby girl)
These moments are about to be gone.....
Even when it’s inconvenient, remind yourself that you do not HAVE to do it; you GET to do it
Change your perspective
Banks wake up every day gambling that today is not the day everybody wants their money
Every time you put 1 dollar in the bank they can legally loan out 10
RT if you just learned something
I know people who make $250K/yr and struggle to pay their bills.
I know people who make $50K/yr who have a powerful cashflow strategy and worry about very little.
It’s not what you make; it’s what you keep
Did you know that taxes are typically your largest expense?
The average American pays around 40% of their income to taxes alone and another 35% to interest on debt
This is why you can’t get ahead
You’re fighting a windcurrent and you don’t even know it
8 years ago today my dad drew his last breath
He was and is my hero
Dad taught me how to fight for everything
He fought for his time
He fought for his family
He fought for his friends
He fought for his business
I see him every day when I look in the mirror
My 10 year old little girl just told me all her friends are calling her a baby because she doesn’t have a phone like they do
My response: If your friends are making you feel bad for something you can’t control—they aren’t your friends
Thoughts?
School taught you:
➡️get a degree➡️get a job➡️get a salary➡️get a car➡️get a house➡️go into debt➡️pay back the system➡️die broke
It’s a cycle where the money always returns back to the government
Wake Up!
If you ever have an idea; write it down immediately
It may not be the right timing but ideas are created for a reason
Keeping track of past ideas can offer a catalyst system for your next venture
