Have you ever looked at your yard, laundry, or even your taxes and thought to yourself, "why would I pay someone to do this when I could do it myself and save the money?" If you answered yes, then you've traded your money for something far more valuable: your time. Today, I talk about how being cheap will cost you 10X the pennies you save doing the "thing" yourself, and the difference between buying time and selling your time.

Today Damion talks about using the power of Gratitude to set the stage for Goals you can achieve. Start with Gratitude for what is true and ONLY compare your goals to YOUR potential.

Hope it works out. Guess We'll see. Sure would be nice. Passive victim talk and the reason most people are broke, stuck and watching other people live the life they desperately want.  Today we talk about the key to shifting from hoping for something to happen to making it happen.  One key.

The tax courts just ruled  ... If you have an LLC inside of your IRA and you’re using it to write checks to take possession of precious metals or doing real estate deals — it’s all disqualified now!  People have been lied to and now they’re getting penalized. You gotta do the research.  If you’re trying to do something to circumvent the system you’re going to get clobbered.     

Are you thinking TOO Big? Are you settling for average and not dreaming and doing big enough? Your potential to impact the world, your spouse, your health etc. is far greater than you realize.  The step is to vision and normalize this vision by surrounding yourself with those who want you to win and live a BIG vision?

Lost a dear friend and mentor this month, the world will miss him. Found out today that Gene Guarino passed away last week. He was famous for many things and cherished for more. I will miss his warm heart and his generous spirit. This is my tribute.

Bitcoin is hitting it's all time high and will go higher. Will it go up 10 or 20% no. It will go up 10-20X because it's an exponential technology and based on a network that becomes exponentially more valuable as it grows. Doubling the network of users will make Bitcoin 10X more valuable. This applies in our lives too, build a network and watch the value of your impact explode exponentially. No more 2X thinking, lets think about 100x and using the power of the network and Metcalf to free the...

It's official, Fed Chair Jerome Powell and SEC Chair Gensler has blessed Americans by deciding not to regulate Bitcoin like China. Wow, thanks guys, you do know it's decentralized right? Love the arrogance of these overlords. Another Overlord, Senator Manchin will Only allow $1.5Trillion for the recon bill in Congress, wow, now he's conservative :-) Student loans being forgiven, Exponential tech changes and asset price thinking are all packed into this episode.

Congress is about to blow up Self Directed IRAs with the reconciliation bill. This ONLY impacts IRAs (both traditional and ROTH).  Two main things: Checkbook control SDIRA's that own an LLC will be banned. Self Directed IRA's will be prohibited from investing in private placement syndications. No more apartments etc. Ticking time bombs.  Want to fix this? Learn more at eqrp.co 

They want to kill the ROTH, disqualify IRA's from investing in apartments, raise everyones income taxes, keep people poor, grow the government and keep you trapped and addicted to the politicians.  Crazy but true and all able to be done this month (September 2021) under the reconciliation process with a simple majority vote, no filibuster option.  This legislation could crash the stock market, big changes coming

The last 20 years changed everything. A divided nation, between Makers and entitled Takers. The volume of Takers is exploding, taking $ from the federal government and the nation is addicted, forced out of survival to do whatever Uncle Joe demands, commands OR ELSE die. Since 9/11, we've allowed the degradation of American authority through endless wars, a Patriot Act that's destroyed liberty and freedom and an entitlement system crushing Americas secret hustle sauce. Time to wake up.

Ever have someone offer a free lunch or encourage you to invest, or push something on you without really knowing why they're so focused on you doing their thing? Money. The world is full of snake oil scheme artists and advisors with their slick plans to help you avoid tax and boy do they sound good! But be weary and careful that you have the rest of the team too, the narrow experts like CPA's and Attorneys. No wealth strategist or tax advisor replaces all these narrow experts. 

Why were Americans in Afghanistan? Was it to fight terrorists or was it for something bigger and nefarious?  It was for one purpose money. The war was for minerals that China now has a direct ability to tap into as they share a border with Afghanistan. More today on what to do with misinformation being pushed by the talking heads at CNN and the truth being censored.

How do you know when something is too good to be true?  Investments or Wellness, it's always a question you have to ask yourself and watch yourself when your initial reaction to some new info or opportunity is: It's Too Good to be true. Is it or are you just not seeing it because you're skeptical and afraid of making a mistake?

Senator Dick Richard Shelby pulled the ultimate move to crush Crypto this week to give more bacon to the military. What an absolute idiot! More on this today and what we need to do to protect our wealth.

From Roadhouse 1989 - the key to life. Be nice - until it's time to NOT be nice. Case studies with clients and the IRS

The Price of Tomorrow is the price you pay for your future. Kill your limiting beliefs by normalizing your stretch vision - surrounding yourself with people and their normal, which is your stretched self. Spent a couple days in a mastermind with my friend and mentor Jay Geier doing this and then came back with a vision 10X bigger than last Sunday. Now it's about growing all the way up, not half way like most of the population. 

Do you have World Class Relationships? or mediocre collisions with people you've been entangled with? Last weekend I flew 3000 miles and drove 300 miles to have 3 dinners with a few of my World Class Relationships because WCR's require entropy, a continuous infusion of energy into anything you want to thrive and not die. My 4 rules for WCRs: People need to be Future focused, Honest 100% of the time, Candid and Growth minded.  WCR's are a choice. Choose Wisely.

Voter rights is mob rule.  We do not live in a democracy Mr. President, we live in a Democratic Republic and the problem is no division. The problem is fake money.

The 10 year capital plan is what moves you from light weight to heavy weight. It's the process of planting seeds in every part of your life that matters this year so that in 10 you have a flourishing orchard producing fruit from the seeds and nurture of today. Diving into my personal plan based on my Lifebook for my company, body, relationships and my mission.

Expensive is a funny thing, why is anything expensive? Most likely because the person saying it is addicted to working and trading hours for dollars.  Once you shift to trading dollars for hours, those things are no longer expensive, they're simply a choice that wealthy people have.

How is a $598 Gas fillup a blessing? Especially when your vehicle ends up in the shop at 1am after getting gas?  I share the virtues of being not broke and the choice we make for all the "Sh*t" that lands on us. Choosing the interpretation of it allows you to see the opportunity buried in the pain and problems.

Decided today over a beer with David that it's time to become a Democrat and embrace the future with hope and reckless spending to solve 4 big problems like my friend Richard Duncan suggests. I also believe the United States has a unique opportunity to lead the world in the decentralized crypto transformation and can beat China.  We need leadership and I see 1 party in Congress capable of doing this. 

The shift in the global monetary system is happening.  It's a war between slavery and freedom, slavery being fiat currency and freedom being Bitcoin.
