The secret to making more money is so brutally simple, anyone can do it, but few go through with it. You don't need to learn anything new, get a coach, pay for a program or go back to school. If we could put even an extra hour of work everyday, we could be making thousands more. It's a tried and tested strategy that no one ever goes after, and that's the biggest problem in our country. How do you change your financial reality? Are greedy CEOs to blame for the financial struggles in our country? In this episode, I share the simple way to earn more, and the tragic truth: the fact that very few people will ever do it. Things You'll Learn In This Episode - Do the extraWhen everyone is doing the bare minimums, how can we win by doing just a little more? - Don't blame the CEOsWhile greed is an issue in our society, could laziness be doing more harm? - Think like an entrepreneurInstead of approaching your day like a 9-to-5er, how do you develop the mentality of a business owner? - All it takes is one How do you break away from the status quo and transform the trajectory of your life?

The secret to wealth, impact and fulfillment isn't to focus on the end result, but rather the process it takes to get there. You have to fall in love with digging the trench, not what you get out of the trench. That way, the beliefs and behaviors that lead to success become habits, instead of an effort we have to put forth everyday. For Howard Panes, this approach is what has led him to become a billionaire with multiple successful businesses. How did one of his companies break $100 million in sales within 18 months? How does he maintain his mindset and high energy, positive attitude? In this episode, the billionaire serial entrepreneur icon and founder of LOGIC, Mighty Yum -link and Stealth Body Fitness shares his incredible story, how he stays so engaged and why we have to fall in love with hard work. People keep themselves so busy they don't even know if they are happy or not. If you're over-busy and overdoing, you have to step back from the equation and see where your mind really sits. -Howard Panes Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode -The gift is in the journey How do we fall in love with the process, instead of the achievement? -How a conversation became a billion dollar business Every single day, we come across the seeds of great opportunities.

One of the biggest arguments against Infinite Banking is that its rate of return doesn't come close to the ROI of other vehicles. Anyone who has this belief is completely missing the point of the concept, and losing out on a ton of benefits in the process. Infinite Banking isn't an investment, it's an asset. It's an efficient machine to move your money through, while giving your control and freedom - something the traditional banking system doesn't offer at all. How do we take our control, clarity and conviction back? What have wealthy people known for generations? In this episode, founder of Better Wealth, Caleb Guilliams returns and today, we talk about all the lies keeping you from experiencing the benefits of Infinite Banking. Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode - Infinite Banking will always beat the alternativesInfinite Banking isn't just great for a time where the stock market isn't performing well. Why would we still choose it if the economy was doing great? - Rate-of-return isn't the point We don't think of our smartphones as investments with low ROI. How do we apply that mindset to Infinite Banking? - The safest place to park your cash While banks are failing, insurance companies are paying more dividends. What does this tell us about the so-called stable system?

If there's anything the last few years have made clear, it's that the banking system is rigged against us. Bank loans, mortgages and monthly payments keep so many people on the hamster wheel of financial slavery and freedom slips further away from them. What if you could pay off your mortgage fast without working any harder, any longer, or saving any more money? By changing the flow of your money, you can break free from the trap of monthly payments and never ending, needless expenses. This is where velocity banking comes in. Considering that we've crossed the $1 trillion mark in credit card debt as a nation, it's critical that we learn how to cut debt and interest rates at the knees. How does this strategy work?

The economy has been teetering on the edge of a cliff for a really long time, but somehow, it hasn't crashed yet. Were Wall Street and the Fed right all along - that we're going to have a soft landing, no recession, nothing to see here? No. Far from it. A massive recession is on its way, and there are key, hard-to-ignore indicators that prove it. Don't let the Fed fool you, it's coming and it won't be pretty for the unprepared. Where do we find the real signs of an impending downturn? How do we prepare? In this episode, I share what history, data and two key groups of people tell us about what's coming. CEOs are one of the best places to look when you're trying to figure out if we're going to enter into a recession or not. -Chris Naugle Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode -The cliff of debt What does the state of borrowing tell us about what's really happening in the economy? -Believe the people on the frontlines Why are CEOs and consumers like you the greatest predictors of a recession? -Get ready to pounce For the prepared, recessions mean one thing: endless opportunity.

A specially engineered whole life policy can be set up to give maximum cash value upfront BUT most advisors don't want you to know that. Why? Because in order for you to get that higher cash value, they would have to give up a lot of their commission. The Infinite Banking Concept is a machine that helps you achieve your financial goals, from buying cars to paying off debt. You can't achieve those goals without engineering the policy the right way, something a lot of advisors aren't willing to do because they lose out. I lost $534,000 so that you could get the most money from your policy. How do we design your policy so that your money grows fast like a rocket? In this episode, I share why whole life policies aren't created equal, and how to build one that allows you to build wealth. Booster rockets on an actual rocket ship use up a lot of fuel. Paid Up Additions on your policy use up a lot of term. -Chris Naugle Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode -Maximizing cash value vs. maximizing death benefit How do we engineer your policy so that you're able to get money out quickly? -The most efficient way to set up your policy When a rocket is launched, some pieces of it fall away so it can propel faster.

A lot of aspects of real estate are one-sided, especially in this current market. It either benefits whoever has the money or the property. In today's high interest landscape, everyone's getting squeezed, from the people trying to buy a home at an eye-watering 8% rate, to homeowners sitting on untapped wealth. What if there was a way for both the buyer and homeowner to win? If you have a sub 4% mortgage, there's no way you'd want to let that go. Fortunately, there's a way to keep that mortgage in place, get access to cash and also keep the dream of homeownership alive for someone else. How does this strategy work and how do you make sure the deal is structured right? In this episode, real estate investor, mentor, education, Eric Sage returns to share the huge opportunity in real estate notes in today's market. Every mortgage is 30-year fixed, rates are 8% now, there's no better time in the history of our planet to get control of cheap debt. -Eric Sage Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode -A profitable waiting game What is the ultimate win with real estate notes? -Bringing a win-win to real estate How does this strategy create income for a homeowner and homeownership for someone else? -Real estate notes done right Why is it so important to structure these deals correctly from the start?
