💰5 MONEY LESSONS I LEARNED FROM WORKING IN PERSONAL AND CORPORATE BANKRUPTCY 💰

Since money is on everyone's mind today, today's thread will be about money.

These lessons won't make you rich but they will keep you from getting broke.

//THREAD//

👇👇👇
1. Get your cashflow in order

#1 cause of bankruptcy that I saw was poor cashflow management.

Cash is the blood of your business.

If it's not flowing and powering your business, you will bleed out and end up having all your assets repossessed by your creditors.
2. Hire a good accountant

I handled a lot of businesses that racked up six figure debts with the tax office.

They spent years dodging the tax man which could have all been avoided had they hired a good accountant from the beginning.

A good accountant helps you keep your money.
3. Credit card isn't your debit card

This seems like common sense until you work in bankruptcy and realise it's not very common.

I've seen people rack up $50k worth of credit card debt to pay for luxury travel they couldn't afford.
4. No such thing as fast money

Saddest case I worked on was this guru who SCAMMED millions of dollars of retirement money out of old people.

We busted him for fraud and he eventually went to jail for selling BS seminars.

Don't be a scammer.

Build a real business.
5. Money may not buy happiness but a lack of it buys misery

I once took a call from a man crying for me to unfreeze his bank account so he could buy toilet paper for his daughter.

He even made me listen to his screaming baby.

Being broke ain't no joke fam.

Learn money.
//End//

Working in bankruptcy didn't make me want to be rich but it sure as hell scared me about the REALITIES of being broke AF.

Tl;dr
1) Make money
2) Learn to manage it
3) Spend responsibly

1) College is not mandatory

I know everyone around you makes it seem like it's mandatory but it's not.

Especially if your #1 goal is to make money.

Even if you STILL want to go to college..

Take a year off to work or travel

Get some LIFE EXPERIENCE

then go to college.
2) World travel is the best education you never had

When I was a kid I had no idea you could possible to travel the world long term.

I thought my path was College ▶9-5▶5 years on the job▶2 week vacation▶Retirement at 65

Reading the 4-hour workweek changed that path for me

Thank you.

Now let's implement your happiness systems...
How many times have you heard that "happiness is a state of mind"?

While that sounds nice, it's not useful.

If happiness was as simple as "thinking more positive"

we'd all be sitting around all day thinking rather than living.

The truth is happiness is a formula..

Ask any marketer what is the FIRST THING they do BEFORE they pour their time and energy into...

...building a product
...crafting an offer
...doing outreach

???

RESEARCH.

But HOW do you research?

It's not as simple as just "read some reviews and forums"..
If it was that simple, we'd all have bucket loads of profitable ideas.

Research is boring and hard af because there is SO MUCH info on the internet.

What if you had a methodical process to extract the one profitable idea from thousands of data points?

It'd be like having...
a map to a huge pile of gold.

That's exactly what @JoshuaLisec's new system is.

It’s your map, your bucket, and your shovel — plus your directions for where to dig.

If you want a templatized process for finding the next profitable idea
