I started learning to invest dead ass broke and with ZERO bucks. It doesn’t require money to step into the investor stance. Most peeps are not investors at all. They are speculators at best, gamblers at the worst. Why? Because they never learned to invest WITHOUT money. Becoming just an “okay” investor will put you ahead of 99.9% of the population. Once you learn to invest WITHOUT money… You will be DEADLY with a few bucks. Over 50 of you said let’s test this Skool live thingy! It’s happening. Do you want me to do our first Skool live on: Million Dollar Investor Training Wheels? “Yay” “Nay” “Another suggestion” 👇 If I don’t get enough “yay”… We’ll pick another topic. Rooting for Ya, Travis

Poor People's Decision Goggles

What keeps poor people poor? It's not... 👉Beliefs 👉Luck 👉Smarts 👉Lack of Money 👉Oppression 👉Lack of good looks It's CONSISTENTLY POOR DECISION MAKING! We all make poor decisions from time to time. A poor decision here or there won't put you in the poorhouse UNLESS the DOWNSIDE of the decision is catastrophic. (Drunk Driving, for example) Now... Ronin are here MOSTLY to make an income without masters. So...let's apply this to $$$ Let's talk about ONE decision-making PRINCIPLE which took me from poor to rich so fast it made my head spin. There are whole books on personal finance and business and such. But... This ONE PRINCIPLE is like putting on GOOD DECISION glasses when it comes to money getting. It comes down to this: ✅Rich people have CONTROL. ❌Poor people do NOT have CONTROL. 👀I call it the CONTROL PRINCIPLE. 👉Will this decision give me MORE OR LESS control? It doesn't matter if I "like" it, or not. It doesn't matter if it's "easy" or not. It doesn't matter if it's "popular" or not. It doesn't matter if it "costs" me money or not. All that matters... Does this decision give me MORE CONTROL? ...OR LESS? Case in point: A fine chap I have known for over 5 years... And he's been "broke" for 5 years... Routinely makes decisions NOT based on control, but based on what the decision will cost him. For example: He has a YT channel. Which he has almost NO CONTROL over traffic-wise. Sending his YT traffic to an email list or community or ANYTHING he DOES have control over is a much better decision than letting YT have ALL THE CONTROL. But he refuses to TAKE/GET CONTROL... Why? $9 a month. POOR DECISION! (Google is RICH because they CONTROL STUFF! The same applies to Microsoft, Amazon, etc. Rich people spend BILLIONS to merely GET CONTROL. Google spent billions to get control of YT. They spent what most peeps thought was a stoooooopid amount of money because YT was losing money. But Google uses the CONTROL PRINCIPLE when making decisions. My poor friend does not. Google didn't get rich by getting all the FREE STUFF they could.)

Share Your WINS!

6 Figure Win!

I'll keep this short.... I just recently paid off a little over 50k in business and personal debt. All thanks to Travis , this group, the Little Rock trip, the mastermind and the deals and partnerships that followed. Still have a little bit more to go but it feels like an incredible weight off my shoulder. Last year one of these partnerships did 6 figures. This year we've done 5 figures, but with recurring should hit 6 easy. What is being taught here is truly life changing stuff. Little bit of wisdom.... The faster you fail the farther you will go. As you can then tweak the process and get better at it. You'll start to develop a sense for things. And also be more sensitive on which partners NOT to team up with. Excited to see what I can do in the next few months / years And how much more freedom can be created :)
