Chances are if you are watching this video, you have seen similar videos before.

I actually did a video on this topic - I talked about how I adopted some of these habits and how they impacted my life.

Here is something that you need to know about me - I am not a violent person and I’ve never been in a fight.

But, when it comes to this topic, I put the gloves on.

It’s no surprise that if you want to make money, if you want to build real wealth, you have to invest into the stock market.

Even experts like Dave Ramsey says you can expect to make 12% returns.

Many people don’t invest in the stock market because they don’t know how to get started.

Many experts will recommend that you invest in index funds.

I want to open your eyes to other ways that you can invest outside of the stock market.

When you see people with big houses and nice cars, you want to know how they earn their money. But even more so, you want to know what are they spending their money on.

We are about to find out how much a millionaire spends per month, or more specifically how much me and my family spend each month.

I use Mint to track my spending. I link all my bank and credit card accounts so that I can track to the penny how much we are spending and what we are spending it on.

We are going to take a look at what me and my family spent for the month of July.

We can break it down by category like payroll, household, taxes, food and dining, etc.

I hope you enjoyed this video and seeing all that goes into running a business like this and how we enjoy our time together as a family.

One of the most common questions I get is “What is the best advice you’ve ever received?”

I just published a video about the 5 income accelerators. These are investments that can accelerator your learning.

One of the things on this list was seeking a mentor, someone that has achieved the level of success that you desire.

Today we are going to talk about 5 Things that all wealthy people invest in.

You don’t have to have a lot of money to do it. Anybody can put their money into these 5 things.

I had just left the admissions office from my school. I had been dropped from all my classes and I was trying to get re-enrolled. When I got back to my car I had a $75 parking ticket and at that point I said ‘screw it’ I am a college drop out.

I ended up taking a data entry position for the company that my mother worked for and did that for 40 hours a week.

If I had let that moment define me and determine my future, I would not be where I am today.

We all make mistakes, but we have to take risks. Don’t be afraid to try something new, if it doesn’t work out that is ok.

Do not let your past failures define who you are or who you can become.

It’s been two years since we’ve moved to Nashville and I still can’t get over all the amazing people we get to meet.
