APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY

Ever seen someone making a million dollars effortlessly and thought, How are they doing that?!

We used to wonder the exact same thing.

💰 How do some people seem to have money flowing in while they’re off traveling, spending time with family, or pursuing passion projects?
💰 Meanwhile, others work 60+ hours a week and still struggle to get ahead?

The difference? The wealthy understand one simple principle—and today, we’re going to break it down for you.

Why Hard Work Will Never Make You Rich

We know, we know. We were all told:

🔹 Work hard.
🔹 Go to school.
🔹 Get a good job.
🔹 Save, invest, and eventually retire.

But let us be real with you—hard work alone will never make you rich.

📌 If it did, construction workers, teachers, and nurses—the hardest-working people out there—would be millionaires.

Yet, somehow, it’s the people who seem to be doing the least physical work who make the most money.

Why?

Because they don’t rely on their time to make money.

They understand the power of leverage—and that’s the real secret to making a million dollars without grinding yourself into the ground.

The $1 vs. $1 Million Experiment

Picture this:

An old man gathers his three sons and gives them a choice.

💰 “You can take $1 million today, OR take $1 that doubles every day for the next 30 years. No do-overs.”

🔴 First son (the safe one) takes the $1 million and stashes it away in the bank.

🟠 Second son (the businessman) takes the $1 million and tries to invest—but bad deals wipe it out fast.

🟢 Third son (the lazy one) shrugs and says, “I’ll take the dollar.”

His brothers laugh at him.

Fast-forward 30 years—what happens?

🔴 The first son’s money barely grew, eaten by inflation.

🟠 The second son lost everything.

🟢 The third son? His $1 doubled exponentially until it became $1.07 billion.

Yep. Billion.

👉 Lesson: Wealthy people don’t get richer by working harder—they get richer because their money works harder for them.

The Rule of 72: How Money Really Grows

If you want to make a million dollars, you need to understand how your money multiplies.

Enter: The Rule of 72

👉 Formula: 72 ÷ interest rate = years to double your money

How Fast Will Your Money Double?

📌 Let’s say you earn 3% in a savings account.
💰 72 ÷ 3% = 24 years to double your money.

That means if you put $100,000 in the bank today, it’ll take 24 years to become $200,000.

🔥 That’s painfully slow.

What Happens If You Get a 24% Return Instead?

📌 Let’s say you invest in an asset earning 24% per year.
💰 72 ÷ 24% = 3 years to double your money.

👀 Instead of waiting 24 years to double, it only takes 3 years!

👉 That’s the difference between waiting for decades vs. creating generational wealth FAST.

Now, here’s where most people miss the point:

💡 It’s not about how much money you make—it’s about how fast your money grows.

The faster your money multiplies, the more valuable it becomes.

And the wealthiest people master this principle.

The 5 Levels of Wealth Acceleration

If you want to make a million dollars faster, you need to stop relying on hard work and start leveraging money, people, and systems.

Here’s how:

🔴 Level 1: Labor (Working Harder) – The Slowest Path

❌ Income = Time x Effort

• This is where most people get stuck—thinking “If I just work harder, I’ll make more money.”
• But no matter how hard you work, you’ll always hit a ceiling because your time is limited.
• Example: A construction worker, truck driver, or office employee can only work so many hours.

🚨 Reality Check: If hard work alone made people rich, construction workers and nurses would be millionaires.

🟠 Level 2: Skills (Working Smarter) – A Slightly Faster Path

⚡ Income = Time x Specialized Knowledge

• Instead of relying purely on labor, you start acquiring high-income skills (sales, marketing, coding, etc.).
• This increases your income per hour, but you’re still trading time for money.
• Example: A lawyer or consultant makes more than a cashier, but they still have to work to get paid.

🚀 Improvement: You’re no longer paid for effort—you’re paid for value. But there’s still a limit!

🟡 Level 3: Systems (Leveraging Processes) – The First Big Breakthrough

💰 Income = Business x Automation

• Instead of doing the work yourself, you create systems that make money without you.
• You’re leveraging tools, software, and automation to make money even when you’re sleeping.
• Example: A business owner who uses online courses, memberships, or automated marketing.

🔥 Game Changer: You make money without showing up every day. Your time is no longer the limit!

🟢 Level 4: People (Leveraging Others) – Scaling Faster

💎 Income = People x Delegation

• The fastest-growing businesses and wealth creators don’t work alone—they build teams.
• Instead of doing everything, you hire, train, and lead others to multiply your results.
• Example: A business with a sales team, operations team, and customer service team.

💡 Key Lesson: The more people you help make money, the more money flows back to you.

🔵 Level 5: Capital (Leveraging Money) – The Ultimate Wealth Shortcut

🚀 Income = Money x Multiplication

• The richest people, we don’t work for money—we make money work for us.
• Instead of relying on effort, we leverage money through investing in real estate, businesses, and assets.
• Us, Real estate investors, when we make money, we think about how our money can make more money?  How can we multiply it?   We think of our dollars as our employees—they need a career too! The goal is to put our money out to work, so it keeps growing, even when we’re lazing around.

Your Money Needs a Career

Some people send their money into savings accounts.

Some put it into stocks, crypto, or risky investments.

But us?

💡 We put our money into multifamily apartments.

Why?

🏡 Because shelter is a fundamental necessity—right after food and water.
🤖 AI can replace jobs and industries—but AI can’t replace housing.
💰 Real estate is resilient, profitable, and proven.

The Fastest Way to Scale: Other People’s Money

🚨 Here’s the ultimate power play:

The richest people don’t just use their own money.

They leverage other people’s money (OPM) to buy $50M, $100M+ properties—assets that no single person could afford alone.

This is how wealth scales exponentially.

And this?

This is how you make your first million—without grinding, without burnout.

If you’re serious about growing your wealth and keeping more of your money, you need to get educated on leverage.
