⏱️ millionaireME Minute — [Action Requested] Year One Complete…Time to Change Command

About a year ago we set sail together.

What began as a simple idea — helping people turn income into assets, and assets into freedom and optionality, with the recognition that true wealth includes happiness found in relationships, physical and mental health, and spiritual and experiential wisdom — has slowly become a real community.

People are asking thoughtful questions. Sharing ideas. Celebrating wins. Working through mistakes. Working toward building stronger balance sheets and calmer financial lives.

And for that, I’m genuinely grateful.

But here’s the challenge: All too often, if not entirely, the best of these exchanges and experiences are happening either in private or as side bar conversations with me, offline.

And while I’m proud of the course we’ve charted, this part has to change, for the saying is true: “All that’s not shared is lost.”

Which brings me to a line often attributed to Steve Jobs during the early days of the Apple:

“It’s better to be a pirate than join the Navy.”

So…

As we head into year two of this community, I’m wondering if it might be time for a shift.

To part from:

🚫 Top-down.

🚫 Command-and-control.

🚫 Someone at the front of the room lecturing about budgets, asset allocation, and what everyone “should” be doing.

🚫 The stuff that works for compliance, but doesn’t necessarily work for human beings.

Make no mistake…

This is not abandoning the mission…just loosening the structure a bit.

Because what people really seem to crave isn’t another lecture.

It’s crew.

Camaraderie.

An environment where ideas move up, down, and sideways instead of only downward.

Which makes all the sense in the world to me.

In launching this community, I imagined a world:

💭 Where someone shares a win…

💭 Someone else shares a mistake…

💭 An article even…

💭 Or a podcast…

And the rest of the crew learns faster because of it.

Examples:

⚓ One person figures out how to automate their investing.

⚓ Another cracks the code on paying off a stubborn debt.

⚓ Someone finally understands how an HSA or Roth actually works.

⚓️ Someone has a related service to offer.

And suddenly progress spreads.

Not because a captain issued orders.

But because the crew discovered something worth sharing.

That’s the spirit I’d love for this place now more than ever.

Not another corner of the internet where someone logs in (or checks their inbox) thinking:

“Here comes another lecture.” 🙄

But a place where they think:

“Let’s see what the crew discovered today.” 😀

So let me ask you directly:

What would make this community the highlight of your day? Or at least a more helpful or encouraging part of your day?

What would make you open the Skool app or inbox and think:

“Ah…home. (And my homies.) Let’s go.”

A few possibilities to get the conversation started:

• Sharing real-life wins (big or small)

• Posting mistakes so the rest of us can avoid them

• Asking questions you can’t ask anywhere else

• Celebrating debt-freedom milestones

• Tracking balance-sheet progress together

• Surfacing opportunities before the crowd notices them

Because wealth (or the other good stuff) isn’t built in isolation.

It’s built in good company.

And if we get this right, this won’t feel like a 1980’s classroom.

It’ll feel like a crew sailing toward freedom together.

👇 So tell me honestly:

What should we do more of…less of…or start doing entirely?

Let’s build something people are excited to be part of.

Not a navy.

A ship full of builders. 🏴‍☠️
