There is no such thing as the clear, linear path to success.
It's a fairy tale that doesn't exist.
The reality:
Long periods of stagnation, where the rewards will feel anything but certain.
Those who can continue to show up every single day will eventually find a way to win.

This moment feels special:
Your entire life can change faster than you ever thought possible.
Trust me, I've lived it.
For the last four years, I've written and shared my words every single day. Two newsletters per week, every single week. Daily posts across various platforms. Over 500,000 words. All aimed at creating positive ripples in the world, at inspiring others to live high performing, healthy, wealthy lives.
And now, all of that brings me to this moment, my first book: The 5 Types of Wealth.
It's not about me, but it is a manifestation of my journey. A reminder that anyone, anywhere, in any walk of life has the ability to define what matters to them and start to build a life around it.
I am blown away by this journey and this moment and I'd love nothing more than to meet you at one of our events.
I will be staying at every event until I meet every single person. That is my commitment to you and I can't wait to make good on it.
I see a lot of bad advice out there when it comes to making money.
Here's my attempt to provide some good...
My honest advice to someone who wants to make a lot of money:
1. The only way to make a lot of money is to create a lot of value.
Here's a harsh truth: No one hands out money. No one is going to pay you just because they like you or think you're cool. That's not the way the world works.
Money earned is a direct byproduct of value created.
The only way to get rich is to create a lot of value for others, and capture a portion of that.
It's not talking about the thing, it's not brainstorming the thing, it's not asking about the thing, it's not thinking about the thing.
