The Three Strategies to Building Real Wealth (Hint: It’s Not About Working Harder)

Listen up, friend—if you don’t know how to multiply your wealth, get your money to make friends, or protect your dollars from inflation, there’s a good chance you’re not as financially secure as you think.

But don’t worry—I’m here to help you stay rich and grow richer. Let’s talk about what really works to make that happen, the strategies the big players use to make wealth work *for* them, instead of the other way around.

Strategy 1: Make More Money

Here’s the thing: it’s easy to get lured into chasing the next shiny new opportunity, especially when things get tough. But every time you jump from one field to another, you lose out on the powerful effects of compounding.

I’ve seen it before—someone hits a rough patch in one career and switches to something totally new. But the people who stay in their zone, leverage their expertise, and find ways to improve, grow, and innovate? They’re the ones who experience exponential growth over time.

So, the takeaway? Don’t let past frustrations decide your next move. Instead, lean into what you’re already good at and find ways to 10x your impact. Whether it’s hiring help, bringing in new tools, or finding a mentor, this strategy keeps you in control and moving forward.

Strategy 2: Keep More Money

Making money is great, but keeping it? That’s where the magic happens, and trust me, it’s a lot harder than it sounds. Here’s how you do it:

First, tax optimization.

Did you know that tax law is a roadmap to saving money? The government rewards you for doing things like providing housing (hello, real estate), going green, and more. Real estate, especially multifamily, can shield a significant portion of your income from taxes thanks to deductions like depreciation. Compared to the stock market, where capital gains can cut into your profits, real estate can help you hold on to more of your hard-earned cash.

Second, inflation protection.

Think of inflation like blowing up a balloon—it just keeps expanding. As the cost of goods and services rises, the value of each dollar shrinks. The best way to protect yourself? Invest in assets that grow with inflation, like real estate. When you invest in something that increases in value as inflation rises, your wealth doesn’t just stay safe—it grows.

Third, asset protection.

Creating the right structures for your assets is essential to safeguarding them from risks. Working with tax and legal pros can help you create a solid plan that keeps your wealth secure, no matter what life throws at you.

Strategy 3: Grow More Money

Making lots of money is the dream, but without a plan, it can all slip away faster than you realize. The wealthiest people aren’t just good at making money; they’re great at *growing* it through multiple income streams. This is how you protect yourself from risk and stay secure.

Here’s a simple allocation approach to keep your money growing:
➡️ 30% in stocks or mutual funds
➡️ 30% in bonds or fixed income
➡️ 40% in alternative assets, like multifamily real estate

Why real estate? It generates cash flow and appreciates over time. For instance, you can refinance to pull out equity without selling the property. This borrowed equity can be repaid by rental income, creating what’s known as “infinite returns,” where you own a valuable asset but have no remaining capital tied up in it.

Then, reinvest this capital in more assets, creating an ongoing cycle of income that builds true compounding growth.

With these three strategies—making more, keeping more, and growing more—you’ll be set to stay rich and become even wealthier. For a deeper dive into these strategies, check out our latest video.
