Found a community. 10,000+ Hormozi groupies. The owner wants 10 grand for it. Checkbook out. Ready to cut a check. Then I had a chat with Travis. Told him I was more attached to this than I should be. Ding ding. That's the problem, he said. The second you're attached to getting a deal... You're already in a weaker position. So I stopped trying to be their first choice. I became their backup offer instead. Turns out the 10 grand wasn't even what he really wanted. Now I can own this thing... Without a penny upfront. DON'T GET ATTACHED.

Seems like everybody is hopping on the AI hamster wheel. New model drops, we scramble. New AI agent drops, we scramble again. Chasing whatever's hot right now…never landing. All that scrambling costs you the one thing you can't get back…time. I'm flying back to Taiwan next week to see my dad. He broke his hip a few months back…this'll be my second trip since April. He spent his whole life in the fitting and valve business. Pipes. Fittings. Valves. Boring stuff. Years ago, when everyone was rushing into SEO and ecom, chasing the internet gold rush…he said something that never left me. These flashy internet jobs might be gone in 50 years. But you'll always need a plumber. Travis told me almost the same thing a few days ago. 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝟱𝟬 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗴𝗼…𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝟱𝟬 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗻𝗼𝘄. Communities. Auctions. One-on-one conversations. Same tools people were using decades ago…still the tools moving the most money today. Different accent…same wisdom. What's the ONE thing you're focused on TODAY…that'll still pay you 50 YEARS from now?

Travis Talked About Ownership of Digital Real Estate… https://www.skool.com/community-fire-mojo-6715/2-ways-to-get-paid?p=8a46932f Right now I run two newsletters...one local, one straight up news. Every day, I pay Zuckerberg a few bucks to put the local one in front of his people. And every day, I gotta stay in his good graces to keep doing it... No banned words. Wait up to 24 hours for the ad to get approved. Pray the account doesn't get flagged for no reason at all. Meanwhile... Six days a week, Monday to Saturday, people pay ME to talk about their business in my News newsletter. No approval needed. I'm the approval. I pick what runs and when. I don't ask permission on my own land. That's the difference between RENTING from someone…and OWNING your own Digital Real Estate.

UPDATE: Auction won by @Nathan Edelen! Bids start at $1 This is a FLASH auction... Which means it may be over in minutes. I duuuuunnnnno? Put your best bids in NOW! You are bidding for the ownership of starter community all set up and with MEMBERS: ✅130 Members who are influencers in the personal finance/retirement space. ✅The members have YT channels with up to 1000s of subscribers each. One member has one of the best selling Retirement books on Amazon. (they are RABID buyers too.) ✅Professional cover photo, icon and A GREAT NAME is already set up. ✅The classroom already has great content. ✅The niche is easy to target and invite to the group. In fact, there's prior research on 1100+ potential members. ✅💥There are dozens of ways to monetize, but one of the strongest is that sponsors and advertisers in this space pay some of the biggest $$$ to get in front of this niche. (Depending on how many views, financial companies pay up to $50,000 per video to get their ads in front of people serious about personal finance and retirement planning.) This would save a new owner weeks, if not months. 💚Ownership will be transferred immediately upon payment. Skool makes it SUPER EASY to transfer.
