Financial Strategies to Increase Income in the Corporate World

• Avoid 401ks:
• 401ks are described as traps due to the tax deferral and reliance on government promises about future tax rates.
• Taxes are constitutionally guaranteed revenue for the government and will not decrease over time.

Steps to Double or Increase Income

1. Treat Bills as Streams of Income:

• Itemize all your bills in descending order from highest to lowest.
• Treat each bill as a stream of income and focus on eliminating the expense by creating a product that matches its monthly value.
• Start with the smallest bill and create a product that generates enough income to cover it (e.g., $73 for a water bill).
• Once one bill is covered, move on to the next.

1. Focus on Products:

• Create products that generate passive income to cover expenses.
• Examples include developing software or mobile apps (e.g., games with in-app purchases), selling products, or creating Software as a Service (SaaS) programs.

Mindset Shifts for Wealth Building

• Reframe Bills as Opportunities:
• Shift your mindset from viewing bills as liabilities to seeing them as opportunities to create income streams.
• Example: If you have a tree in your yard that needs cutting down, negotiate with a lumber company to get paid for the wood rather than paying for its removal.
• Leverage Software as a Service (SaaS):
• SaaS is a strong income model because people rarely cancel subscription services.
• Examples include Netflix, gym memberships, and services like ClickFunnels.

Additional Wealth-Building Ideas

• Think Creatively:
• Turn liabilities like trees or physical assets into profitable opportunities.
• Build or commission a product (e.g., a video game or app) that can generate consistent monthly revenue.
• Retirement Strategy:
• The session includes discussions on how to retire in 180 days by applying these principles.
