Today’s topics include:

Conceptualizing the importance of retirement and making it a priority

The journey to financial freedom as a freelancer

Controlling expenses is important, but increasing your income is less limited

Adding value to yourself by being a revenue increaser, not an expense to your client

The goal is not just to be rich but to experience fulfillment and happiness

The Rule of 300/400: For every $1000/month you spend it takes $300,000-$400,000 dollars in assets to support that

The three classes of assets: business entrepreneurship, real estate, and stocks/bond/mutual funds

Building passive assets as revenue streams

Growing equity slowly instead of “getting rich quick”

Formula for wealth: Make more than you spend, and invest the difference wisely

People will pay for one thing, which is a solution to their problem.

Formula for business: traffic x conversions = profit
