David Osborn is a real estate investor, serial entrepreneur, and the author of a book that was life changing for me. Wealth Can’t Wait is a must read for anyone who wants to upscale their life and wealth. David has founded over 50 companies, employs exceptional people, and has distributed millions of dollars to his partners. He is also an educator who teaches having an abundant life through goal-setting. He is also extremely down to earth, and it’s an honor and pleasure to have him on the show.

Episode Summary:

April is financial literacy month, and I couldn’t think of anyone better to have on the show than David Osborn. His book, Wealth Can’t Wait is the current Pod Club book, and this is my third time reading it. The seven pillars in his book are very similar to the Redefining Wealth six pillars. We talk about planning, taking action, surrounding yourself with the right people, and being accountable. Wealthy people take purposeful action, and David really drives that home in this episode.

CLIFF NOTES

Wealth is a CHOICE. You can decide to earn more, spend less, save more, and learn to invest that savings for growth.

Don't you deserve financial freedom? Wouldn't it be amazing if you never had to answer to another person for the rest of your life?

Develop disciplines that will serve you for a lifetime and make that choice to be wealthy.

Learn to take risks and practice thoughtful measured risks. Avoiding risk makes it hard to get ahead.

Don't fall into the know-it-all trap. Build knowledge over time and the status will come.

Prioritize your tasks by A B and C. Then only do the As. List and prioritize everything.

Become purposeful with your actions and focus on your air game, not your ground game or just doing everything that needs to be done.

You have to be the CEO of the corporation of YOU. You do the most important stuff and hire people to do the other stuff.
