Retire with $3,000,000 & OLD AF?
I don’t want to wait until I’m old and dragging my ballz behind me in a walker to start living!!
If you want $10,000 per month…
The trad FIRE gurus will tell you to scrimp and save for a decade (or two) to save up $3 million and pull out 4% a year.
($120,000)
What could go wrong?😑
Even if you make it…
I don’t know about you?
But I don’t want to wait 20 years.
Call me impatient!
I also don’t want to scrimp by.
And you know WHY?
3 mill isn’t as cool when my ballz drag along behind me in my walker!
Chicks don’t dig it! 😂
I want to live now!
…while I’ve got my swagger!
LIVING well is the goal.
Now…
Community F.I.R.E.
Isn’t about sacrificing today so we can live in 2045.
It’s about living fully in the moment and PRODUCING something - a community - that other people want/need so much that they’d invest $100 a month and feel like it’s a bargain.
Producing a community and putting in 100 members at $100 a month produces $10,000 a month - so we can do what we want, when we want and with whom we want before our ballz or boobs make rude appearances!
It can be done in a FRACTION of the time someone can save up $3,000,000 unless your last name is Kardashian or Bezos:-)
But hold on to your undies…
Monthly subscriptions are only ONE way to monetize.
There are a dozen OTHER ways. (Topics for another day.)
The coolest part…
The part that “hangs” everybody up…
Is YOU don’t NEED to be the EXPERT!
👉 You are PRODUCING the community and putting the RIGHT people in and have the VISION about the MISSION or the MOVEMENT the community stands for!
A community doesn’t exist because of great content!
That’d be like saying a town exists because the newspaper is so good!
Does that make sense?
Right now…
With AI and all the “bad news”…
People NEED purpose, mission or a movement to be a part of in 2025…NOT more content.
I’m not against great content and delivering insights…
I’m just saying it’s NOT what makes a thriving community!
(Or excited to invest $100 a month.)
You do NOT need 3 months of content in your classroom or to be an expert to get started on your own Community F.I.R.E. journey.
This is important!
How come?
Because…
I’ve watched MANY people start communities and spend 3 MONTHS (or more) putting content in the classroom.
Then they invite a few peeps and nobody CARES about the content because there is no MISSION or MOVEMENT context in the videos or text.
Videos don’t make a community!
Even if there are fifty eleven of them!
Then when nobody engages they get discouraged and give up!
Now…
You will likely want to invite members into your community free at first.
(Unless you already have an audience.)
Then…
After you get a core handful of peeps and you test your mission/movement fit…
You can start to add monetization.
Mmmkay?
So…
What discussions do you want to have around mission/movement?
Rooting for Ya,
Travis
PS Here's the follow-up post based on the questions about "what is a movement?" and how do I create one?
