The most dangerous money scam isn’t:
Bitcoin. Ponzi schemes. Get-rich-quick courses.
It’s your mindset.
It’s why 90% of businesses never succeed, why your parents will die poor, and why more young adults are homeless than ever.
Here’s what I mean (& how to fix it): x.com
82% of businesses fail within the first 5 years.
Not because they run out of money, but because the founder burns out.
Their business drains them & builds anxiety.
Why?
Because they’re still thinking about money the wrong way. x.com
Many entrepreneurs make good money—but it still feels fragile.
- A bad month triggers stress
- You feel chained to the business, even on vacation
- You keep raising income goals, but it never feels like enough
You thought money would bring freedom. But, it brings anxiety.
Why? x.com
Researchers at Princeton & Harvard found that scarcity rewires your brain — killing long-term thinking & creating financial tunnel vision.
This means, if you grew up without financial security, you may still be stuck in survival mode — even after making money. x.com
"Happiness" plateaus at ~$75K/year.
Yet high earners still chase more, expecting it to fix their problems.
If money = security, you’ll never stop running — even after you’ve “won”.
This is why high earners still feel broke. x.com
Making money doesn’t create wealth.
Shifting how you think about money does.
Real wealth isn’t about revenue — it’s about:
- Separating income from time
- Using money as a tool, not a trophy
- Building assets, not just businesses
Here’s why:
Wealthy entrepreneurs don’t work for money, they build systems that make money irrelevant.
Warren Buffett made 99% of his wealth by owning assets that pay him forever.
Jeff Bezos earns $250M+ per day from Amazon through equity, dividends, & passive income.
Here’s how to start: x.com
Step 1/ Hustler to Investor Mindset
Entrepreneurs stay stuck because they think like workers, not owners.
They chase income, not returns.
Owners don’t just earn — they multiply. They reinvest profits into assets that generate wealth without their constant effort. x.com
Step 2/ Define Your Target
If your goal is just to “make more money,” you’ve already lost.
You need clarity on what money is for:
- What does your ideal day look like?
- What does freedom actually mean to you?
- How much money do you really need for that life? x.com
Step 3/ Escape The Illusion
Entrepreneurs fall into a loop:
“Once I make $_____, then I’ll relax.”
But then never comes — because the habit of chasing more never stops.
Here's what to do instead:
Step 4/ Reverse Engineer Freedom
Once you define enough, break it into a game plan:
- Income Goal: What’s the monthly number that covers your dream life?
- Wealth Plan: What assets bridge the gap?
- Execution: What’s your next step to move toward leveraged income? x.com
Real freedom isn’t about having more.
It’s about designing a business that funds the Life you actually want.
I used to dream of being a mindset coach for entrepreneurs.
Now, not only do I live it daily, but I’ve built a business that’s aligned, intentional, and built for freedom.
Success isn’t about hitting milestones — it’s about designing a life you don’t want to escape from. x.com
If you make good money but still feel stuck, the answer isn’t to work harder.
It’s to build a business that’s Built to Last.
I’m giving away my framework that helps entrepreneurs create sustainable success without burning out.
