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.)

Our MISSION! … produce a community that will provide income today, income tomorrow and income forever… That is so simple, scalable and sustainable… We can do it… …from our cell phones …in one hour a day …in a one person business That’s the MAIN focus and mission for Flames! Our tool is an evergreen, movement based community that grows on its own because members are inspired to share! Rooting for Ya, Travis PS Remember complexity is our enemy. There are different kinds of groups and communities. There are fifty eleven strategies to grow and monetize them. We don’t need to get bogged down with any of that! Focus on the simple plan I’m laying out here for ya: 👉 To cover our LIVING expenses (if you’ve got $5k to $10k a month) You only NEED one main way to grow your community. (Get your members to promote the community) You only NEED one main way to monetize (one auction per month) Once you’ve covered your living expenses and bought control of your time back! Then we can focus on LIFESTYLE and add a new growth method and a new monetization method! ($10k to $100k a month is possible here.) Also… Watching what I’m doing here might be helpful:-)

Where will you visit first when you FIRE? 👇

Last week I ran a Skool pop up auction in one of my communities. I did $13,000 for about one hour's “work” pressing buttons. (Not much for me to deliver afterwards either.) That’s almost triple the median U.S. monthly income. If I wanted to make that kind of money in a TRADITIONAL investment like SPY… I’d need $100,000 and to wait 1 1/2 years at roughly 9% growth (on average)… And I can’t use that $100,000 while I’m waiting! It’s tied up… But with a community… I CAN do it again next month (or sooner). And the next month after that AND…you get the point! Hope this was like a bowl of inspiration cereal!
