Saving For Retirement...Your mom told you to save for a rainy day and that a penny saved is a penny earned. If you've never been taught to make money, being taught to save money is kind of stupid. You've been taught that you must start saving early, but what are you even saving for? Should you send your money to people you don't know to diversify? People that actually make it put a big bet on one thing. Finances are about playing offense. Who's got your money? You need to make so much money that you can't spend it all. When I make money I get rid of it as fast as I can because money gets bored. Don't stick your money in an IRA, concentrate on investing in yourself so that you can begin to increase your income.

Never get advice from a millionaire. Don't get advice on what the view is like from someone half way up the tree, they can only tell you what they think the view is going to be. That's why you don't want to get advice from someone not even half way there. The problem with the Millionaire Next Door:

1) Think is too small—There's not enough zeros to last you any length of time 2) Conservation mode—Spend all energy trying to save the million. 3) Math doesn't work—$33,000 a year is no money. You can't just quit after making $1 million

When you have a million dollars, you're scared. Don't be the millionaire next door who is conserving the little pile they have. To make your money last longer than your clock, you need much more than $1 million, so never take financial advice from a mere millionaire!

278: How to Handle Chaos

September 1, 2017

24m

Bad things happen to good people. Hurricane Harvey is a perfect example of this. People didn't plan on this happening—and that's why you have to be financially prepared in advance. As I just flew back from relief efforts in Houston, I'm reminded of what I talk about in 10X Rule—people underestimate the effort required to keep the show on the road. When chaos comes, when the hurricane hits, how do you handle it?

1) Stay Committed to Success & Prioritize— On Tuesday I wasn't worried about who was going to handle the supplies in Houston, because the first step was simply going to CostCo in Miami to get the supplies. You don't need to figure everything out from beginning to end, just start by going A from B. Get moving!

2) Your Safety and Success First—Put yourself at risk, not in more danger. You can't help anyone if you get yourself hurt.

3) Start Getting Products/Results—You need to have something to give when people are in need. Products are solutions, and solutions give results. The fact is, the only way to fix chaos is with results.

4) Economics - Start raising more money through whatever means possible and use the money to solve more problems and prepare for the next chaotic event. I got many of my friends to donate to Hurricane Harvey relief simply by stepping up to lead. We live on an economic planet, so you are not going to solve chaos without money—sorry, it's not going to happen.

There is no class on chaos. You're taught how to read and write in school but nothing on how to handle chaos. How silly is that?

Handling chaos is one of the most important lessons you can learn in life. It was 22 hours turnaround time from the idea I had on Tuesday of bringing supplies to the people of Houston to the landing of 10X airlines in Houston on Thursday. I told my COO on Tuesday that I wanted to bring supplies to the people of Houston because the city is so close to my heart.

As many of you know I grew up nearby Houston, in Lake Charles, Louisiana. I started my business in Houston and lived there for several years before moving to California years ago. When I saw there were millions of people affected by the storm and the recovery efforts were needed, I knew I needed to take action.

There was a severe need for basic supplies for residents and relief workers. The people of Houston couldn't wait, and I wanted to help the city and the people that have been so good to me... so I asked others to join me in the support.

After packing my plane full of supplies and flying into the area to contribute goods to the efforts, I still want to help, so thru Sunday, I am donating ALL proceeds of 2018 10X Growth Conference tickets to our relief efforts here https://10xgrowthcon.com/

If you have been thinking about how you can contribute, this is it. Let's show the people of Houston what 10X is all about
