Growing the Money with Rich Lennon

Episode 37: Why ROI Is Killing Your Wealth (Focus on This Instead)


Listen Later

Ever feel like you’re chasing great returns, making smart moves, but your wealth just isn’t growing fast enough? You’re not alone, and the problem might be your focus on ROI.

In this episode, Rich Lennon reveals why Return on Investment (ROI) is actually the least important of the “big three” financial measures nd what you should be focusing on instead. He makes a strong case for shifting your attention to yield (your accurate annual return) and, more importantly, return on wealth, a metric that drives long-term financial growth.

Through real-life examples and personal insights, Rich shows how rebalancing your portfolio and strategically deploying your money can massively boost your wealth over time. Even substantial ROI numbers can be misleading if your money is idle, and this episode shows you how to fix that.

You’ll Learn How To:

  • Spot the difference between ROI and yield, and why yield is key to real growth
  • Calculate your return on wealth, the accurate measure of financial progress
  • Avoid common traps that keep your money stagnant (like your home or idle cash)
  • Rebalance your portfolio to grow faster without changing your lifestyle
  • Apply the real-world strategies Rich uses to 10x his wealth growth

Who This Episode Is For:

  • Investors are stuck chasing ROI with little to show for it
  • Real estate, lending, or market investors wanting better results
  • Anyone ready to build serious wealth and stop spinning their wheels

Why You Should Listen:

This episode will flip your perspective if you're tired of the same old investment advice. Rich shares his exact framework to multiply wealth by focusing less on ROI and more on where your money is working (or sitting still). This episode delivers the mindset and strategy if you want real financial growth.
