This is the first time I have been in an airport in a long time.I can’t share where I am going yet….but I will soon. ✈️? Tomorrow I am doing a commercial shoot with a really big brand.Like a National TV commercial.  ?All of this is possible because I started my blog nine years ago.  When you start something like that, the ripple affect can be amazing. ?When you start putting yourself out there and marketing yourself or your business online,  you get the opportunity to make all kinds of valuable connections. I’m glad I was able to take you along for a little behind the scenes peek.  I can’t wait to share with you the company that I was working with on the commercial.#tvcommercial

I made a TV commercial

Intro 00:00I was a financial planner for 16+ years and came across some super shady advisors.Many were more concerned about keeping you as a client so they could earn commissions and earn fees.  I can remember early in my career I had a good friend that was a photographer.  He was growing his business and investing into a Roth IRA (at my advice) at the same time.He reached a point in his business where he needed to invest his money into more equipment instead of his Roth IRA. I realized that investing in his business would make him a lot more money, so I was all for that idea.My point of this story is to give you a new perspective, if you really want to build wealth.Here are the 9 things that you need to know:04:18 1. Save money on vehicles06:33 2. Don’t buy ‘more’ house than you need07:33 3. Stop buying so much stuff09:13 4.  Save a percentage of your income 11:25 5. Work as much as you can NOW12:55 6. Invest in your education13:46 7. Invest in yourself15:49 8. Venture into entrepreneurship18:34 9. Invest in Real EstateIf you want to build wealth, you can do that by investing into a Roth IRA. But, if you want to truly grow your wealth, then you need to explore some of these other options.Are you working with a financial advisor?  If you are, are you hearing some of these same things from them?Have you been told that any of this is ‘not a good idea’?Let me know in the comments.

Investing $0 | First 6 Investments I Made From Broke to Multi-Millionaire

I received an offer of $10 Million Dollars for something I created for fun.  Something on the side.Let me give you a little history.I had a crazy idea to not just start a blog, but to create the BEST financial planner blog in the world.I started writing.I wasn’t making any money on the site but I knew that I needed to spend some money on the blog to make it a little more professional.With my domain, hosting, some work on my website..I was in for $509.  Then I kept writing and publishing until I started making money.Two years ago someone offered me $10 million to buy my website.Of course there were quite a few things that happened between my initial $509 investment and the offer two years ago. Here are some of the things I changed:00:00 Intro03:39 1. You have to flex your Bi’s (your bold intentions)05:42 2. Build something that is bigger than you08:30 3. Stop asking how and why and start asking what and who10:58 4. Changed the way I thought about growing my businessIt took me less than a day to decide to decline that offer!  After making those changes I realized that I have created something bigger than myself and it gives me a lot of joy.

How I Turned $509 Into $10 Million Dollars (as a side hustle)

Why are we talking about MBA’s?  Well when we first started talking about homeschooling, online school, etc.  Harvard announced that they will be offering their MBA program completely online.  (That has since changed).  What hasn’t changed is how much the program costs.There is a long list of fees: tuition, student health fee, student health insurance, course and program material, room and utilizes, living expenses, etc.  Add all of these costs together and we are looking at $111,000 per year.  It is going to take you TWO years.  It will cost you A LOT of money.I have to ask…..is there something better?  I think there is.(Disclaimer: I dropped out of the MBA Program)So what do I think is better than a Harvard MBA?  Starting a blog.Yes, starting a blog.When you get started you are not going to be making tons of money.  It takes some time to build your audience and start making really good money. (I was only making around $0.16/hour my first year).The great part about starting a blog is you can do it in your spare time (while you continue working). Even better, it doesn’t take a lot of money to get started.  You can purchase your domain and set up a website (with hosting) for around $150.If this still sounds overwhelming, I have created a free email challenge that shows you step by step how to set up your first blog and make your first $100.You can check it out here: ➡️➡️➡️ http://Make1kChallenge.comNow I want to share with you some of the key principles of choosing a blog over an MBA (this is what I learned by starting my blog):00:00 Intro07:35 1.  How to start a business08:34 2. How to build a thriving network11:06  3. How to be a better communicator12:36 4. How to market yourself13:40 5. Learned high income skills14:55 6. How to scale a businessYes! Blogging is definitely my preference.  But as I mentioned, you don’t make a lot of money in the beginning.   If you stick with it and publish quality content you will get there.You need to get a domain, start a website, and get going.
