[a] how much do you want to make per year?
[b] how much do you want to work to produce it?
[c] divide the income by the hours and you get:
💰 your target hourly rate
Use your target hourly rate to make decisions... not your current hourly rate.
If you want to make $350k/yr and work 20 hrs/week to get it you’ve got an hourly rate of $350/hr... start acting on it. Doing things yourself is costly too (-$350/hr).
RULE: if you can pay less than $350/hr to get something done for you, pay for it and outsource.
-Fly first class (or private if you can swing it)
-Pay for expedited shipping
-Outsource lawncare, cleaning, grocery shopping, etc...
Not because you need the status.
But because you’re trading money for something better than money: TIME.
With time and a bit of energy you can accomplish almost anything 💪 it’s a worthy trade.

My path from zero to 100M (and the trajectory to 1B) 💰
Gather around I have a story to tell... I am the most transparent wealth builder in history and do not see you as competition but as a partners. We win together.
Here’s how I did it 👇
1- 2014 I made $14k at a church...
It was my dream for a long time but I knew it wasn’t what I was called to do long term. I transitioned to a real estate firm and I did property management for $28k/year. Learned on the job...
2- I read 10 books that year...

Last Friday I started my Twitter with about 100 followers.
Today I’m at 5,000 and increasing daily.
Although I’m not an expert (yet), I’ve been strategic for my first week and I think it’s repeatable, if you were to model 👇
🏆 Post seriously valuable sh*t
My 3rd of 4th tweet (can’t remember it was a week ago) was a breakdown of how I’ve created $100,000 per MONTH in real estate passive cashflow...
It’s the stuff you’d normally find in a $10k course - posted in a thread, for free.
🏆 Be a decent human
But for real... I’ve helped clients, friends, and colleagues for years now grow their businesses. A few of my past clients and friends are already Twitter pros — they like me because I’m not a self-absorbed hack and helped me get this off the ground.
I’m buying $3-4m of private real estate every month.
But I didn’t start out with money and I didn’t start at this level. Starting “big” is often a bad idea. I started small and worked my way up.
Here’s how I did it - to model for your own empire:
🏆 You only need one deal
A lot of people overcomplicate it too much. You don’t need 10 deals — you need one deal. One deal under your belt and THEN you can roll the momentum from that into 2, 3, etc...
🏆 My first deal was bad
A small 1800 sf place in Alabama. I thought the rehab would be $25k and it ended up being $40k👎 I purchased for $80k and thought it would be worth $150k, but it wasn’t.. it was worth $120k 👎 all in all I lost about $5k on the deal.
